But there was also a pep talk in the back of her mind, a reminder to go slow, take it easy, wait until they were back at her apartment because this wasn’t a private place—all of which was excellent advice. Too bad she was raw in a way she wasn’t used to, in a way she’d never been.
Slipping her palm between them, she gave in to her lust, finding the juncture of his thighs—
“Fuck,” he growled.
Stroking him, she felt the length and thickness of his erectiongrow—and later, she would wonder what the hell had gotten into her. At the moment? She was feeling reckless, on the verge of life decisions that would change everything—and she wanted to be bold.
So she lowered her other hand, and went for his belt.
“What are you doing,” he groaned.
“What do you think I’m doing.” She dropped down onto her knees and arched her back, aware of exactly what she was showing him as the tight leather top pushed her breasts up even higher. “I told you I’ve been thinking about you all day long.”
As Dev’s hungry eyes went to everything her push-up bra and the low V neck had on display, she worked the strap free of its buckle. Then she tugged his jeans’ top button from its slot. Before she hit the zipper, she extended her tongue and ran it along the ridge that was straining at the denim—
“Oh, God…” He fell back against the fire door with a clang, bracing his hands against the jambs.
When Dev bit down on his lower lip and she looked at his flat-tipped canines, she was jolted back to reality and reminded of everything that divided them, but she couldn’t worry about all that. Not right now. Not when this could be one of their last chances.
He was leaving: She had looked into his eyes just now, while he’d stroked her face, and known all of his doubts and also his restless need to flee. He was going to ghost her after tonight, and even though it would make the pain harder to bear, she wanted to know what he was like.
Inside of her.
But also any way she could.
“I want to taste you, Dev,” she said in a low voice. “I want you to come in my—”
Somewhere up above, a door into the stairwell opened and voices percolated around.
Dev yanked her upright, and held her against him. As he put his forefinger to his lips in ashhh, she tilted back and looked up the latticework of metal balustrades. She couldn’t see much, but it was clearly amale voice and a female one. And they were talking urgently, going back and forth—
Lyric squeezed her palm in between their bodies once again, finding his arousal—
As he gasped, she clapped a hand over his mouth. Then she whispered, “Shhhh.”
His eyes flared as she started to stroke him. Then she slowly sank back down at the same time she unzipped things.
“What are you doing,” he hissed.
After sheshhh’d him again, she finished with the unfastening and peeled the two halves of his fly apart—and his erection exploded out at her.
God bless commando, she thought as she regarded his incredible girth.
Overhead, she could still hear the voices, but the words—though decipherable under other circumstances—blended into meaningless syllables as she extend her tongue and, without touching him with her hands, started to lick up his underside.
All of Dev’s teeth showed as his upper lip peeled open and his hands strained on the door jambs. As his head fell back, it banged on the door—
Instantly, the voices stopped.
Shhhh, Lyric pantomimed again—before she returned for another lick. In response, his erection spasmed up from its proud, straight jut-out and banged down on her tongue. And then it was enough with the teasing.
Just as the man and the woman started talking again, she slipped a grip around his girth—and Dev groaned, but held the sound in his chest. At least until she opened her mouth and sucked the head of him in.
Then it came out as a squeak that made her grin around his arousal.
Meanwhile, his whole body bucked, his hips shoving forward, his weight sinking into his thighs as his knees bent. It was at that point that the argument upstairs concluded on a door slamming with a metal clap that reached even Lyric’s distracted ears.
She paused and looked up, Dev’s erection stretching her lips wide.
