Forsaken by the Moon Goddess novel Chapter 54

Sloane

“I’m not sure I’ve ever felt this at peace,” I say to Benedict as we stand together looking out over the city.

“I feel the same way. I couldn’t wait to get you alone tonight. Besides the obvious, that I really like you and I’m completely and totally attracted to you, I can be me when it’s just the two of us.”

I turn in his arms, sliding my arms around his neck.

“You mean no one else gets this relaxed side of you?”

He shakes his head no. “Does anyone else get the vulnerable side of you?”

“I HATE being vulnerable,” I say.

“And yet, I get to see that side of you,” he says, brushing my hair behind my shoulder. “I’m perfectly happy to stay out here, but I promised to feed you a burger and fries.”

“I can wait for food. But was I mistaken about seeing a bottle of champagne and a bouquet of flowers inside?” I ask him.

“Tonight is a special night for both of us. I wanted to celebrate with you.”

I slide my fingers through his hair, making his body shiver.

“What exactly does celebrating consist of?””Well, that depends,” he says, rubbing hiş nose against mine. “Champagne, for sure. Dinner and a bottle of wine, since | know you like wine. Then, if you’re willing, I can show you how I can strip the top of this gown down to your waist, tease you, then flip up this amazing skirt and take you from behind.”

I feel hot desire spread through my body like wildfire.

“Show me,” I whisper.

He raises an eyebrow. “Right now?”

“Do you have somewhere else to be?”

“No.”

“I have one request, though,” I say.

“What’s that?” he asks, beginning to kiss my jaw.

“Take off this shirt that smells like all the she-wolves who touched you tonight.”

He pulls out of my embrace and begins unbuttoning his shirt. “Sorry about that.”

“Don’t apologize. If you hadn’t shown up… well, I’d have kicked your ass. But you did. I’m here and they are… wherever they are.”

I watch as he pulls the shirt off and tosses it onto a chair beside us. I take my time, enjoying the magnificent view of his body.”Apparently, they’re at my graduation party,” he says, taking my hands and wrapping them around his neck again before pulling me against him.

“Wait! You’re missing your graduation party?” I ask, all teasing aside.

“Apparently. But since | didn’t hear about it until tonight, and I already had plans with you, I told them to cetebrate without me.”

“Benedict…”I say, ready to argue that he should go.

“Sloane,” he says, taking my face in his hands. “I am right where I want to be.”

He leans in and kisses me until I relax, leaning into him.

“That’s better,” he murmurs as he kisses his way down my jaw to my ear, nibbling on it and making my entire body shiver. I slide my hands over the muscular ridges of his back, tracing the muscles to his sides and feeling his body tense.

“That tickles,” he murmurs.

“Benedict Winslow is ticklish?” | ask, as he begins kissing his way down my neck.

“I guess, or maybe I just like the way you touch me,” he murmurs, sliding the spaghetti strap of my dress off my shoulder and kissing his way over my shoulder.

He pulls back, coming back to my lips, sliding his tonguein my mouth and growling possessively, before repeating. the same process on the other side.

I sigh as i slide my fingers into his soft hair again.

“You smell so good,” he says, sliding my other strap. off my shoulder and kissing his way across. Then he pulls my arms from around his neck, putting them by my side before pulling back and watching me as he slides the bodice of my dress to my waist.

The cool night air brushes against my heated skin and I feel my nipples pucker as he watches. He growls again and I pull my arms out of the straps of the dress. I slide my hands over his arms as his hands wrap around my waist, then slowly slide up.

“You are so beautiful,” he says reverently. He watches his hands as they cup my breasts. I moan as his thumbs brush across my nipples sending waves of heat straight to my core.

He bends forward, running his tongue around one of my nipples before sucking it into his mouth.

“Benedict,” I moan, my hand sliding into his hair and gripping tightly as he sends heat flooding into my body. I lean against the railing and look up at the sky, seeing all the stars twinkling at me while Benedict expertly teases my body into a desperate need.

He pulls off my nipple with a soft pop. “You taste so good,” he says, before moving to the other nipple and sucking itinto his mouth. My body bucks at the sensation, but he wraps an arm around my waist to hold me steady while he continues to stoke the heat inside my body.

When he pulls off the second nipple, he kisses his way up my chest and neck to my lips. He slides his hand into my hair, tilting my head so he can deepen the kiss. I surrender to the kiss and to this man. I’ve never felt the sensations that Benedict elicits from my body and the only thing T know right now is that I don’t want him to stop.

He kisses me until I’m pressing my body against his, whimpering with the need that he’s created in me.

“Extra-extra-large. I think | get bigger when I’m with you,” he growls back.

I watch as he rolls the condom on his very large length, then he leans over me, taking my mouth as he lines himself at my entrance. He continues to kiss me, wrapping an arm around my waist as he slides inside me.

larch my back, sighing into the kiss as he begins to slowly fill me.

He gently kicks my foot, making me take a wider stance, then he pulls my hips away from the railing, before pulling away from the kiss.

“You feel so fucking good, Sloane.”

“So do you,” 1 moan, arching as much as I can to try and take him deeper.”Fuck. I fit so perfectly inside you,” he says, slowly moving in and out of me.

“I need more, Benedict,” I whimper.

“I know, beautiful. I’m going to make you come again.”

The cool night air is doing nothing to cool the heat that is swelling inside me.

Benedict grabs my hips, grinding himself against me and making me moan before he begins thrusting inside me, faster and harder.

“Yes! Yes, just like that,” I say.

“As gorgeous as this view is, Sloane, nothing is more beautiful than you are,” he says.

I feel myself getting closer to the edge and just as I fall off the cliff of ecstasy, I feel Benedict’s body jerk behind me, his fierce growl making the balcony rumble under our feet.

He forces both of us to ride out our orgasms, then he collapses over me, nuzzling his face in my hair.

“You can tell Scarlet that she was right,” he pants.

I burst out laughing and I feel him grin against the side of my head before kissing me and standing.

“Come on. Let’s have some champagne and order room service. Then we can have a round two,” he says, sliding out of me.I turn as he pulls off the condom and ties, it off.

“Round two?” 1 ask.

“Yep. And next time, I’ll let you have control,” he says. He kisses me deeply then takes my hand and leads me inside.

I slide my dress off, and Benedict gives me a t-shirt from his bag. Then he pops the bottle of champagne, pours two glasses, and we order room service before curling up on the couch together and toasting to our graduation.
