Chapter 520 -

*Natalia*

I woke up slowly, and then all at once, anxiety making my heart race and my eyes fly open. I couldn't even relish the fact that the comforting weight of Tallon's arm was draped over my waist, because all I could think about was how drunk I had gotten the night before.

I couldn't remember our whole conversation, but I did remember Tallon opening up to me about his family. Oh fuck-I hoped I hadn't said anything about my own family. I laid still, trying to settle my breathing and calm my heart before I woke him up too.

I must have been moving around even more than I had realized because before I knew it, Tallon was kissing my neck softly. My heart began to race for a different reason entirely as he wrapped his arm more firmly around my waist and pulled me close to him, close enough that I could feel every part of his body pressed up against me.

He was wearing silk pajama pants, but his chest was bare. I looked down and realized that I was still in my gorgeous dress from the night before. I was perplexed to see the wrinkles in the fabric that only a professional would be able to get out, and I wondered how I had managed to get so drunk that I couldn't even put pajamas on, but then I realized that the fact I was still wearing the same clothes meant that Tallon had done nothing more than get me safely into bed. It was overwhelming to think of how much he cared about me, that he didn't even want to undress me unless he knew for sure that was what I wanted.

I lost my train of thought as his hand roamed over my curves, stopping every now and then and giving me a reassuring squeeze. I rolled over to face him and saw that he still had his eyes closed. He had a blissed-out smile on his face that I couldn't help but smile back at.

"Hey, you," I whispered.

He slowly opened his eyes. I loved how young and innocent he looked as he was first waking up. After last night, I knew how much his family struggles weighed on his heart. It made me happy to see him so relaxed. And then it made me guilty to think about how my actions were putting more stress into his life.

"Hey," he murmured, "How are you feeling?"

I shrugged. "I've been worse."

His eyebrows raised in shock. Damn, I must have been bad last night.

"Um, what did I say last night? I can't really remember much."

He laughed, easing some of my anxiety. Surely if he was laughing, then that meant I hadn't blown everything.

"You were pretty adamantly demanding to be turned into a bird." He laughed again, his body vibrating pleasantly against mine.

I buried my face in his chest, embarrassed over my ridiculousness but pleased that that was all I had said. It was stupid to let myself get that drunk with him, but the stress of trying to maintain my lies through an entire weekend together had gotten to me.

And I just felt so incredibly safe with him. I had known that he would get me home safely, and he had more than proven himself by not only getting me home but also ensuring that nothing happened between us. "I'm still in my dress," I said against his chest, my voice muffled.

He pressed a kiss to the top of my head. "Yeah... I know it's probably not comfortable but I didn't want to go digging through your suitcase. And to be honest, you were asleep before I even got you into bed." Finally, I forced myself to stop hiding and looked him in the eyes. He met my gaze and reached his hand up to stroke my hair.

"You make me feel safe," I said simply.

I could see the pride in his eyes as he nodded once, then wrapped his arms around me so that he could pull me close. "I'll always keep you safe," he murmured.

I was so overcome with emotion at his declaration that I had to take a deep breath to stop myself from crying. I couldn't remember anyone who had ever made me feel so cherished as Tallon did. At that moment, I just wanted to forget everything else and feel what it would be like to be loved by a man like him, truly loved, with no hidden agendas.

I wiggled up so that I could reach his mouth, then captured it firmly with my own. As we kissed, the world fell away. Our mouths tangled with as much passion as I could muster, determined to let myself fully enjoy this, enjoy him. Tallon rolled so that he was lying on his back and pulled me with him so that I was lying on top of him. My dress got tangled up in our legs, so I reached down and hiked it up, freeing myself up to the waist. Tallon's hands immediately fell upon my exposed ass, greedily squeezing enough to make me moan.

Without hesitation, he moved his hands up to hook his fingers around the waistband of my thong and quickly yanked it down so that I was almost fully exposed with my dress around my waist and my thong around my knees. Tallon moved his hands back to my ass and encouraged me to straddle him.

The silk of his pajamas felt like heaven against my soaking core. I wanted nothing more than to lick his exposed chest, but he had taken full control of my mouth, licking and sucking and biting until I was nearly delirious with desire. I couldn't stop myself from grinding against his erection, loving how the thin layer of silk between us only added to the sensation. Tallon finally freed my mouth and trailed kisses down my neck. I leaned up slightly to give him better access and he groaned appreciatively as I moved against him.

Still keeping one hand on my backside, he reached the other up so that he could pull the strap of my dress down and expose my breast. My nipple was already hardened in anticipation as he took it into his mouth. I arched my back and moaned in pleasure, barely able to contain myself.

He took my movement as an opportunity and moved his other hand around so that he could stroke a finger against my clit. I was nearly undone. My pleasure had already spiraled so high that I was certain that an orgasm was going to crash through me at the slightest touch. Tallon circled my clit with his finger a single time, then pressed inside of me, gently stretching me.

"You're so wet for me," he murmured against my breast.

I reached up and freed my other breast so that he could give it equal attention. He obliged by moving over and taking my other nipple in his mouth while rolling the nipple he had abandoned between his thumb and forefinger. The sensations were overwhelming, and I couldn't stop myself from screaming out in ecstasy. Tallon chuckled against me, loving how much pleasure he was giving me.

"Tell me what you like the most," he said quietly.

"I... love... it... all," I panted, barely able to form words as he worked my body. It was like he was perfectly attuned to what I wanted. The second that any one sensation began to feel overwhelming, he would slow down just enough so that it never became too much to handle.

"Are you ready for me?" he asked, his mouth still on one breast while his hand played with the other. His other hand was alternating between stroking my G-spot and my clit.

"Yes, please," I gasped, desperate to feel him fill me.

That was all he needed to hear. He let go of me completely and I nearly cried out from the sudden loss, but before I knew it he had pulled himself free from his pants and neatly unrolled a condom onto his cock. He put his hands on my hips, encouraging me to lean up slightly so that he could settle against my entrance.

He looked at me, a question in his eyes. He was so fucking sweet, it killed me.

I nodded once, then closed my eyes as he clutched my hips and pressed his cock slowly inside of me. Once he was completely buried, he picked up speed until my breasts were bouncing with the movement. I threw my head back and enjoyed the ride, loving the way I could let him have complete control. I never once had to worry that he would do anything I wouldn't want done.

After we had settled into a comfortable rhythm, he moved his hand so that he could tease my clit with his thumb. The pleasure was almost agonizing, it felt so perfect. Too soon, I was pushed over the brink and was gasping and moaning as my orgasm overtook me. Tallon grunted as he pumped into me quickly and finished.

I fell against his chest, completely spent even though the day had just begun. Tallon wrapped his arms around me and stroked my hair away from my face.

"I could get used to that," he said.

"Me too," I agreed. I had never been with someone who was so attuned to my needs. I felt so deeply connected to him, it scared me.

"Alright, now we need to get ready for the day I have planned!"

"And what exactly do you have planned?" I asked. "I hope whatever it is, there's time for more of this." I wiggled suggestively against him.

"Oh trust me, there's plenty of time for that," he said, his voice low with desire and his eyes slightly glazed. I loved that I had that effect on him. "But no time right now!"

I pretended to pout, but secretly I couldn't wait to replace out what he had planned for us. I was growing extremely spoiled the longer I spent with him. I hadn't expected him to be so amazing at planning surprises that I would love.

He gently set me down on the bed before standing up, then leaned over to give me a kiss on the forehead. "I need to shower. I'll be right back."

I smiled at the fact that he felt the need to kiss me goodbye when he wasn't even leaving. He hadn't said it yet, but somehow I knew that this man loved me, really loved me. And if I was being honest with myself, I loved him too. But what the hell was I going to do with that? Falling in love with Tallon had never been a part of my plan. I didn't even want to admit that what I felt could be love, but I couldn't lie to myself any longer.

I just had to figure out whether or not I was going to lie to my family.
