“So close,” I whispered, pausing briefly to ghost a kiss over her lips. “Maybe I needed a moment to make sure.”

Her brow furrowed briefly as I steered her into my bedroom, then kicked the door shut behind us. “Make sure?”

I tugged at the back of my shirt with one hand and tossed it aside, watching with gratification as her eyes hungrily devoured my bare chest. Then I jerked my chin for her to do the same.

With far more grace than I possessed, Harlow peeled off the ravaged bra and let it fall silently to the floor.

“Fucking perfect,” I whispered, dragging a featherlight touch along her collarbone.

As she unhooked the button on her jeans, I let my gaze linger over the ripe curves of her chest, the dip of her stomach, the soft flare of her hips as she worked her jeans down the length of her legs.

With a sharp inhale, I watched her perch on the edge of my bed and shimmy the pants off, her gaze never leaving mine. She raised her hips and tugged them off, tossing them to join her shirt and bra. All that was left was a pair of high-cut white panties, and she sat back with her hands braced on the bed, her legs slightly open while she watched me like we had all the time in the world.

“Had to make sure?” she repeated.

My eyes were locked on the soft skin of her thighs, and I licked my bottom lip. Her breath started coming in pants when I shucked my jeans off, leaving my boxer briefs on as I prowled to the bed.

She backed up the bed immediately, making room for me between her legs as I planted my hands on either side of her head, my knees braced on the mattress.

We didn’t kiss right away, content to indulge in this blatant admiration for each other’s bodies. I lifted one slightly trembling palm and let it skate up the curves of her side, dragging my knuckles over the curve underneath her breast while she struggled to breathe evenly. Her stomach quivered, and unable to resist, I ducked down and placed a sucking kiss just underneath her belly button, dragging my nose along to her hip bone, where the faded lines of stretch marks had my mouth watering. I kissed those too, and she clutched my head to her while I licked over the curve of her ribs.

“I had to make sure,” I spoke against her skin, “that I could keep my head straight.” I kissed the center of her chest, inhaling the sweet scent of her there, nuzzling to the side so that my beard tickled the side of her breast. She gasped, and it melted into a decadent moan when I licked the flat of my tongue over her, sucking her fully into my mouth.

I pulled back, releasing her with a pop, and she rolled her hips but only found the hard edge of my thigh. “Had to make sure I wouldn’t lose my mind, Harlow.” My eyes locked on her before I teased the edge of her other breast with the tip of my tongue, a soft flicking motion that had her trembling beneath me. “That I didn’t fuck you into the mattress without enjoying you first.”

“Ohhh,” she moaned, her hands sliding up into her hair where she gripped the strands. “Yes, that, please. We can be slow next time.”

I tutted quietly. “No, sweetheart, I only have this first time with you once,” I whispered. I nuzzled the edge of her jaw, sliding the flat of my hand down her stomach until my fingers slid under the soft material covering her. “I’m taking my time. I want you out of your mind first.”

When my fingers eased between her legs, she sobbed my name, and I let my mouth hover over hers, our harsh breaths mingling and her brow furrowing in tortured anticipation.

“Look at how much you want me,” I said in a low voice, curling one finger, then two inside her, the slick heat of her locking my muscles with unspent tension. “Do you have any idea how good you feel?”

She rocked onto my hand, chasing her pleasure shamelessly, and I pressed my heel against her, hitting the spot she wanted because her back snapped up, and her mouth fell open in a silent gasp.

“That’s it,” I coaxed her. “Show me one, beautiful girl.”

Harlow’s hips moved up and down, and I let my hand and fingers be the anchor she worked herself on, the foundation of building what we both wanted. Then as I felt her get closer, I pressed my heel down, grinding on her as her chest heaved while a low moan built in her throat and her body fluttered around me.

When it crested, I saw it break across her face, and greedily, I watched like it was all for me. Like this piece of her bliss was the best part of all of it because it was.

I did this to her.

The yearning that started out as a sweet ache morphed in the wake of Harlow’s desire, a flash of furious heat that melted over my skin, tingling through to the tips of my fingers as I pulled from her body while she came down on long, gasping breaths.

I tore at my boxers first, and when I was fully naked, I settled between her thighs, allowing the sweet softness of her body to cradle mine. Harlow angled her chin, taking my kiss with a decadent sigh, our tongues twining as I rocked my hardness against her.

She nipped at my bottom lip, and I hissed at the sharp edge of her teeth.

“I think there’s one more piece of clothing that needs to go,” she whispered.

“This?” I asked, snapping the edge of her underwear against her body.

“Might feel better without them on.” Her grin was quick and happy, and with a groan, I snatched another fierce kiss.

“Oh, it will,” I promised, another hard rocking between her legs. I wrenched her thigh up against my side, gripping it tight in my hand. Maybe I’d leave bruises, some mark that only she and I would know about. “Maybe one more like this?” I asked her in a light, teasing tone. “Do you think you could?”

“No,” she moaned, clutching at my back. “I want you. Please.”
