Sacred Surrender

by Ava Riley

  Rowan was as ready for Madison as he’d be. He wanted this night to be perfect for them. He had soft music playing, a fire lit, candles glowing and strategically placed throughout, and the mixed aroma of lasagna and fresh roses filled the house. He bought eight dozen red roses at the flower shop, spreading them throughout the house. He wanted the night to be romantic for Madison. He paced between the kitchen and the living room with a glass of wine in hand, impatiently waiting for her. He stopped mid step when the door bell rang then set his wine glass on the coffee table. He walked to the door, took a deep breath and opened it to her. He had to force himself to take a breath when he saw Madison standing before him.

  Rowan felt himself harden because of the beautiful woman in front of him. She was absolutely stunning. Her beautiful raven hair framed her face, causing her hazel eyes to stand out. She wore a white, short sleeved button up blouse that clung to her breasts and tapered to her waist, where it met a black mini skirt with a small slit running up her thigh and topped off with a pair of black stilettos which accented her beautiful legs. He couldn’t move. She was remarkable and he was awe struck. Her voice brought him from his trance.

  “Well, are you going to invite me in, or make me stand outside all night?” She asked with a smile in her voice.

  “Of course, you are coming inside. You look amazing. Damn, baby, you should wear a skirt more often,” he said as he hugged her.

  “I’m glad you like it,” she whispered seductively in his ear.

  “We aren’t going to get to dinner tonight, are we?” He asked laughing before he placed a kiss on her lips.

  “Not if I can seduce you enough to convince you to leave the food in the kitchen.”

  “Well, you are off to a great start, baby.”

  Madison really had no intentions of eating tonight. The only thing she wanted to feast on was Rowan and she’d planned on doing everything possible to make that happen right now. Rowan released her and stepped aside so that she could make her way in. She was shocked to see the house set up so beautifully. He had gone to great lengths tonight and her body relaxed. She realized that she’d worried all day for nothing. Certainly, he wouldn’t go to all this trouble just to break bad news to her. The fire, the candles, and all the roses were overwhelming. Like so many other things, no one had ever done anything like this for her. She felt so incredibly special at this moment. She closed her eyes when she felt Rowan press his body to hers from behind her wrapping an arm around her waist, pushing her hair off her neck and placing gentle kisses on her bare skin.

  “Do you like it?” he whispered against her ear, nipping at her lobe.

  “It’s beautiful, Rowan,” she turned in his arms gently gripping the back of his neck. “Why did you do this?” She asked, amazed at the man standing before her.

  “I wanted you to understand how important you are to me, Madison. You deserve so much more, but this is a start.”

  Madison pulled his mouth down to hers, kissing him deeply, passionately. She wanted him now; she really didn’t care about the food or what he had planned on telling her. All she wanted was to feel him buried deep inside her, to feel that connection that she was missing for the last month. He pulled away from her.

  “Wait right here,” he quickly made his way to the kitchen, pulled the lasagna out of the oven, turned it off then just as quickly returned to the living room.

  Madison stood in front of his fireplace with a rose in hand. Rowan felt his chest clench. She affected him so strongly in so many ways. He walked over to her as Brian McKnight’s voice flowed from the speakers, singing Back at One. He turned her to face him, pulling her into his arms. He kept his gaze on her as they swayed to the music, cupping the nape of her neck, holding her hand to his chest. He softly kissed her lips, moving his kisses from her mouth to her neck.

  Madison’s head tilted to the side giving him better access as they continued their dance. His breath against her skin sent a shiver down her spine. She felt her nipples harden and a fire ignite between her thighs. Her fingers slid into his hair, holding his head against her skin. Rowan pulled his head back.

  “I want you, Madison, more than I’ve wanted anything in my life. More than I even want to take my next breath, I want you.”

  Those simple words were all Madison needed. She placed her hands on his chest, gently pushing him into the chair that sat closest to the fireplace, then taking two steps back away from him. Madison’s fingers trembled as she released each button on her blouse slowly, seductively keeping her eyes locked with Rowan’s. She knew he loved to watch her undress and she wanted to give this to him. Sliding the shirt from her shoulders, she let it fall to the ground. Rowan seated himself on the edge of the chair, motioning to her with his forefinger. Smiling, she walked to him, placing herself between his legs. His fingertips slid up her calves to the backside of her thighs. When he reached her ass he inhaled deeply, closing his eyes.

  “Madison, you don’t have any panties on,” he said with a ragged breath. It took all the control he could muster not to throw her to the floor.

  Madison smiled seductively as she pushed him back, slipping her bra off then unzipping her skirt dropping the black material to the floor. When she bent to take her shoes off, he placed his hands on hers.

  “Leave them on please,” he simply stated.

  Madison’s pussy grew even more wet, when he ran his fingertips against the skin of her inner thigh until he reached her smooth mound. Sliding his forefinger between her folds, he wet his finger with her juices, then placing it between his lips sucking her taste from his finger. Seeing him taste her that way turned her on in a way she had never experienced before. Rowan stripped off the blue polo as he stood before her. He kissed her mouth, giving her a taste of herself on his tongue as he unbuttoned his slacks, pulling them off along with his briefs. He backed her to the middle of the living room, grabbing the back of her head and taking possession of her mouth. Madison’s hands roamed from his chest to his abdomen, enjoying the feel of each ripple as his fingers caressed her wet hot pussy.

  “Get on your hands and knees,” he commanded into her mouth.

  Without hesitation to his request and much to Rowan’s surprise, Madison knelt on her hands and knees, her sweet ass, a perfect invitation for him to take possession of her in every way possible. He leaned over her body, placing kisses on her shoulders, then running a finger down her spine. He felt her tremble under his touch and smiled for it.

  “Spread your legs wider,” he said as he knelt behind her.

  Rowan’s finger traveled from her back to the crease of her ass to her wet pussy. He placed soft kisses on each cheek. Leaning back on his heels, his fingers traced up her calves, along the black line of her thigh highs. He loved the way her calves felt, loved the way she looked from this angle; his cock twitched begging to be buried deep within her.

  “Damn, baby, you are so amazing.”

  Madison felt so vulnerable and so sexy at the same time. She’d never been more exposed in her life, but was more than ready to have Rowan inside her. She rocked back when he slid a finger into her pussy, pulled it out then used her juices to rub her swollen clit.

  “Rowan.”

  “Shhh, I want us to take this slow.”

  “I don’t think I can take it slow. I want you hard and fast.”

  “Baby,” he placed a kiss at the small of her back, “Hard and fast will come soon enough. Right now, I’m going to take my time with you.”

  Rowan pulled up on her hips until her ass was high enough that he could taste her pussy from this angle. He licked and prodded with his tongue as he gripped her ass spreading her open for him. Madison placed her cheek against the floor feeling overwhelmed by the intensity of what Rowan was doing to her with his tongue. The tighter he gripped her ass the more erotic his tongue felt against her wet core. As Rowan fucked her pussy with his tongue he grabbed his cock and stroked the length.

  “Damn it, Rowan,” she moaned, “I can’t take much more, I
need you buried inside me. I need you to fuck my pussy, baby.”

  She’d never used such words with him and they made his cock grow harder within his grip. He couldn’t give her slow, no matter how much he wanted to, no matter that he had promised himself he’d draw out their time together. His cock ached to find the home it had been away from too long.

  Coming up on his knees, Rowan gripped his cock, placing the tip at her entrance. When she tried to rock back onto him, he pulled back. He intended to tease her for just a moment longer, but she was so damn beautiful, her ass in the air beckoning him, and his heart filled with so much love for her that he couldn’t form one coherent thought. He gently pressed the tip of his cock into her wet folds, feeling her juice begin to coat the head. When she rocked back this time he allowed it, filling her completely. Rowan closed his eyes trying to focus himself as her pussy clenched around his cock. Slowly, he began to move his hips back and forth going a little deeper each time. His grip on her hips grew tighter the faster he moved.

  “God, yes, harder. Fuck me harder, baby,” she demanded.

  Rowan’s hands moved from her hips to her ankles, pulling up slightly as he arched his back, taking her as deep as he could. He pumped his cock in and out harder and faster with each stroke. He wanted to make it last longer, but he quickly felt the pressure of his orgasm building, felt his balls grow tight and was thankful for the declaration announcing the coming of her own orgasm. Rowan continued to pump harder, deeper until he felt her pussy clench his cock tighter than ever before as she screamed out his name. The sound was the sweetest thing he’d ever heard. Placing a hand on her shoulder and using it as an anchor, he slid in and out faster with each stroke pulling out just before he came, spilling his seed on her ass while voicing his own release. Staring down at her, her head laying against the floor, her ass up in the air covered with his cum, he felt like the luckiest man alive. This magnificent woman was his and he had no intentions of letting her go.

  “Stay right there, don’t move,” he told her.

  Chapter 24

  Madison felt wrung out, yet satisfied. She wasn’t sure where Rowan had gone, but she wouldn’t have been able to move even if she wanted to. She flinched when she felt a warm cloth against her backside. Madison smiled when she realized Rowan had left her there, bare ass in the air to get something to clean her off. What man thought to do that? This man, that’s who, she thought, as her heart filled with love for him.

  Rowan tossed the cloth to the side as he lay next to Madison, “You can move now,” he said as he propped himself up on his elbow.

  “No, I don’t think I can,” she laughed.

  He pulled her down next to him, her back to him. Pushing her hair to the side he placed kisses on her neck.

  “That was amazing; you are amazing,” he whispered against her skin.

  “You did all the work,” she laughed.

  “Baby, that is not work; that is pure unadulterated pleasure.”

  They lay for what seemed like hours before Madison spoke. She broke the silence turning in his arms to face him. Her fingertip traced his brow. “So, what exactly did you have to tell me tonight, before I so rudely distracted you,” she said with a wink.

  “Yes, you did distract me, bad girl. Anytime you feel the need to do so, please do.” He leaned his forehead to hers, inhaling the scent of their love making. He’d never been more satisfied with his life than in this moment. “I’m leaving the hospital and going into practice with Cade.”

  Madison shot up into a sitting position, “Why would you do that?”

  Madison knew how much Rowan loved his job at the hospital and how much he enjoyed the night shift. His work there was important to him and she was confused as to why he would want to give that up. From what he’d told her, he’d been working that shift since he’d graduated from medical school.

  “For us. We rarely see each other. Going into practice with Cade will allow me to have normal hours.”

  “No way in hell, Rowan.”

  Madison grabbed her clothes and dressed quickly. She didn’t want him changing jobs because of her. Their relationship was too new, too fresh for him to be making life changing decisions like this. They didn’t even know where they would be in a year. Hell, they didn’t know where they would be in five months. Of course, she hoped they would still be together, but it was still too soon to tell.

  Rowan was surprised by Madison’s reaction. He grabbed his pants, slipping them back on as he watched her pace the floor of his living room. When she wouldn’t stop pacing, he prevented her from moving by placing his hands on either side of her face forcing her to look at him.

  “Madison, talk to me.”

  “You can’t change jobs for me, for us. We don’t know yet if we’re going to last. I mean, God, I hope we do. You are the best thing that’s happened in my life, but, damn it, I don’t want to be the reason you give up something you love so much.”

  “I love you. I enjoy my job, but I love you. Me changing jobs is giving me an opportunity to explore that love,” he said as if he’d been saying it to her his whole life. He meant it more than any other time he’d said it in his life.

  Before Madison could stop it, a tear slipped from her eye down her cheek. Rowan pressed his lip to it before it made its journey completely down.

  “Why are you crying?” He softly asked.

  “Because no other man has ever spoken those words to me and for the first time in my life I can actually say I’m in love with someone.”

  Trying to lighten the mood, “Who? I’ll kick his ass where he stands. You’re mine and I’ll fight to the death for you.”

  “You’re going to beat your own ass?” She laughed. Wrapping her arms around his neck she kissed his mouth. “Rowan, I want this to work and I am happy I will get to spend more time with you, but only if you’re absolutely sure about this decision.”

  “Baby, I’ve never been more sure about anything in my life,” he pressed his lips against her ear and whispered, “Thank you for mending my heart, for making me a complete person again.” He swept her up into his arms and walked her down the hall to his bedroom.

  “What are you doing?”

  Without a word, he placed her on the edge of his bed. One hand resting on the nape of her neck he lifted her chin with his forefinger covering her mouth with his. Rowan felt his abdominal muscles tighten when Madison’s fingers skimmed the waistband of his pants. He groaned into her mouth when she pressed her palm to the rock hard erection hidden behind his slacks. Madison pulled her mouth from his, pressing her lips to his stomach, her hands working the snap and zipper of his pants.

  “Rowan, I want you. I need you deep inside me,” she said on a ragged breath.

  “Anything you want, baby. I will always give you anything you want,” he responded, caressing her arms.

  Madison’s fingers slid between his waistband and skin, pushing the slacks from his hips and releasing him from the confines of the fabric. He quickly kicked them off, thankful he’d not replaced his briefs. Heat coursed through his body as she tightly wrapped her fingers around his cock. Looking down at Madison, Rowan watched her as her hand slid along the shaft, squeezing out droplets of precum. He let out a moan when she flicked the tip of his erection with her tongue just before she scooted back to the center of the bed. Kicking her shoes off, she hiked her skirt, sucked her middle finger into her mouth then brought it to her glistening slit. His breathing stilled as he watched her run the finger the length of her pussy, stopping to circle her clit.

  “I want you right here, Rowan,” she said seductively as her head fell back, her finger continuing its attentions on her swollen clit.

  Rowan didn’t move, he couldn’t bring himself to disturb Madison. The sight of her masturbating on his bed made his cock grow thicker, harder. He was torn between taking over for her and standing there watching. He grabbed hold of his cock, stroking as he knelt on the bed between her legs. With hooded eyes, he continued stroking his cock as h
e watched Madison near her completion. He wanted her to bring herself to climax, but more than anything he wanted to feel her climax around his cock. He ached to see that glazed over look in her eyes, the one she got just before she came.

  “Madison, baby, look at me,” he barely got the words past his lips when he heard her moan.

  Madison lifted her head afraid that she had done something he hadn’t wanted her to, but was relieved when she saw the heated, hungry look in his eyes. Leaning in, he covered her mouth in a bruising kiss. As they kissed, Madison brought the finger that had been stroking her clit to their mouths, both sucking her juices until nothing was left.

  “Damn, baby, you are so fucking hot right now,” he leaned his forehead to hers. “I don’t think I can wait any longer to be in that pretty pink hole of yours,” he said rocking back on his heels, his fingers still wrapped tightly around his cock, stroking.
