Chapter 171: Right There With You
** Eli **
Pencil skirts were far from Harper’s go-to outfit, and it was hard to imagine her choosing one for Hawaii. But as soon as Eli saw her at the evening party, wearing the bright floral pattern in a perfectly trimmed design that tightly hugged her curves, he knew that he wouldn’t be able to get the image out of his head tonight.
He had been waiting so patiently to take it off of her ... Or get under it himself, like he was doing right now.
Luckily for him, the wait turned out so worth it. The moment his fingers slipped beneath the skirt and glided up her thigh, he was greeted by the hot and moist touch at the crotch of her panty, and the revelation of how ready she was almost made him hiss in pleasure. It was a welcome message ... one that he definitely appreciated after all the drama at the cocktail party.
Alright, maybe it was time to admit that he was indeed a little jealous and possessive about her, especially when they happened to be in the company of a certain shameless Miracles employee. But only a little at that. Surely, it was more of the long wait since morning that made him feel like he was going to die if he didn’t mark every inch of her as his this very moment.
So that was precisely what he did. With his mouth still latched onto her, he suckled again, flicking the hard pebble with his tongue and eliciting another whimper from deep within her throat. Hooking her lacy underwear to the side, he plunged a finger into her just as his other hand pinched her nipple.
He didn’t want to be gentle today. And it looked like she didn’t need him to be either, because the next moment, she threw her head back with a trembling moan, a beautiful sound that was nothing but pure approval.
Oh yes, she was so fucking beautiful like this.
"I wish I could’ve done this hours ago," he mumbled an admittance, letting the words bring his teeth grazing and vibrating against her sensitive flesh. "The breakfast you made was good, but you have no idea how much of a better feast you are yourself."
His feast moaned again, possibly from the onslaught of his nibbling or possibly from his words, and he felt her inner muscles tighten in response, clenching deliciously around his finger like a hungry mouth. "Well ... Isn’t it better that we waited then?" she breathed airily. "You can take all the time you want now to enjoy the feast to the fullest ... without interruptions and without having to keep checking the clock."
