“MacKenzie,” he grinds out as he plunges into me. I can’t catch my breath. “Touch yourself.”
“What?” I gasp, this time in surprise. He couldn’t mean what I think he did. We don’t know each other. He wouldn’t ask something so intimate from me, would he?
“Touch yourself, baby,” he commands. I guess he did. “I need you to get there. Show me how you come.”
I shouldn’t. I wouldn’t normally. This isn’t me, but there’s something about Kyle that makes me wild, that makes me want to do things I normally wouldn’t. He makes me feel free.
So I let my hand glide down my belly to settle between us. I feel where he slides in and out of me and let my fingers feel where we join. And then I touch the tip of my finger to my clit and circle while he drives into me deep and hard, over and over again.
“Kyle,” I breathe. I’m so very close. This feels big, huge even, like nothing I’ve ever felt before, and I’m not sure I’ll survive it.
“That’s it,” he growls as he plunges even deeper, harder.
And then I can’t help it—my orgasm rolls over me like a tidal wave, and I tip my head back and come again. Kyle covers my body with his, driving through my climax and making it seem like it goes on and on forever.
“Yes,” he growls. “Fuck yes.”
He plants himself deep and follows me over the edge.
He rolls to the side, taking me with him and placing a soft, open-mouth kiss to my lips before he pulls free from me and rolls from the bed. He makes his way to my bathroom, and I hear the faucet run before he comes back to me.
This is it. This is the part that I hate. I never know what to do. Do I say thank you? Do I pretend to be asleep while he puts his clothes on and leaves? I just don’t know. I never know.
But then he surprises me when he lifts the covers and climbs in my bed, pulling me into his arms. What? This is not on the menu. If I didn’t know how to proceed before, I sure as hell have no idea what to do now.
“What are you doing?” I blurt out the question before I can even pretend to play it cool.
“Cuddling?” he replies, and I can hear the humor in his voice. The jerk knows that he has me off kilter and he’s enjoying himself!
“I don’t understand,” I admit softly.
“Did you think I was done with you already?” he asks, his voice a deep rumble next to my ear.
“Maybe.”
“Not even a little bit.” He smiles and then covers my mouth with his.
We hold each other close under the covers and touch and taste. He brings me to the pinnacle two more times with his hands but never lets me fall over, and then he rolls me to my back after rolling on another condom. This time is gentler but no less exhilarating as our bodies rock together over and over and we find completion.
After, he holds me close, and we drift off to sleep.
Chapter Five
Kyle
Something new, something alive
The first glimpse of dawn is flitting through the windows, and I can see the marine layer is rolling in along the coast. MacKenzie is asleep, sprawled out on her belly with her blonde curls all around her, tickling my skin.
She was a surprise.
I knew I wanted her from the first minute I clocked her in that bar. But the way the quiet blonde turned hot and wild in my arms; I did not expect. I knew she would make me work for it, but there’s something about her that makes me think all that she gave me last night was a gift and just the beginning where the pretty pilot is concerned.
I should walk away. I’ve never tried to keep the same woman for long, and fuck knows the deck is stacked against us with our careers leading us to all corners of the world and back again, I can’t help but want more.
I think, when it comes to her, I might always want more.
But those thoughts are better left for later. Now, I have to make more inroads with Mack, because if there’s anything I’ve learned about her, she’s going to have those walls built up high again by sunrise, and I’ll just have to knock them all down again.
