My other hand slides under the hem of her sweater, fingers brushing warm skin. Hooking my thumbs in the edges of her leggings, I pull them down her legs, revealing her pale blue lace underwear. I love that she wears these innocent colors and I love even more the soaked patch in the middle which she tries to hide with her hands.

“Don’t hide from me.” I grip her hands and push them away and then bury my nose in her pussy, inhaling her delicious scent. My cock twitches in my pants and I groan at the scent of her need. “Fuck, you smell good.”

Her fingers curl into the fabric of my shirt as I lick her clit over the lace. Looking up, I meet her slumberous gaze, her lips parted and full from my kiss. Standing, I cup the back of her head and kiss her hard, thrusting my tongue into her mouth, taking and taking until neither of us can catch our breath.

“Look at you with your pants halfway down your legs, pussy soaked for me, looking like my greedy little slut.”

Her breaths come in pants, and I watch her closely for her reaction, wondering if I took it too far, but her pupils are blown with desire. Fuck, she’s perfect.

“Are you going to fuck me or tease me?”

I smirk, loving that she’s feeling strong enough to sass me.

I put my lips to her ear and bite down on the soft lobe until she whimpers, leaning her body into mine. “I should punish you for putting yourself in danger today.”

Her breathing hitches at my words. I’m not touching her, but she wants it, rocking her hips toward me, desperate for me to make her come.

“Maybe you should.”

Fuck. Me.

“Lift your arms.” I take my time pushing the fabric of her sweater up, not stripping her, not rushing, just letting every inch I uncover register in my brain like something I’m never going to forget.

She trembles.

I kiss her shoulder first, right where the sweater slipped earlier, slow and lingering. Then the side of her neck. Then lower, tracing a path only she can feel. Her perfect tits are heavy as I cup each one in my hand and swipe at her hard nipples. The lace pulls against her skin, adding friction, and she grips my hips, trying to pull me closer. With a flick, I unhook her bra and let her tits spill into my hands before gathering them up and bringing each one to my mouth. I nip and suck like a starving man, and she moans and arches into me, needing more, but this is my show.

“Belle,” I murmur against her skin, “Do you trust me?”

She nods, breathless.

That’s not enough for me. “Say it.”

Her eyes flutter closed. “Yes, Nico.”

Good.

I cup her cheek, guiding her gaze back to mine. “No hiding. No rushing. Just you and me. Under this tree. And if I do something you don’t like, all you have to say is stop and I will. Okay?”

Her chest rises on a shaky inhale. “Yes.”

The world outside this room doesn’t exist. There’s no danger. No responsibilities. No shadows. Just the soft music of her breathing and the glow of colored lights reflecting in her eyes.

I kiss my way down her body, nipping at her hip as I fall to my knees at her feet.

She makes a sound, barely a sound, but it hits me right in the sternum.

“You feel good,” I murmur, voice roughened, “better than you know.”

Her fingers slide into my hair, tentative, shy in a way that shouldn’t exist between us, not after everything. It makes something tight and protective pull in my chest. I tap her leg so she lifts her foot and I guide her leggings off her, followed by her panties. Her pussy glistens, and I can’t help myself, I shove my face in her cunt and feast.

She stumbles, widening her stance, and I lick her from her sweet hole to her pulsing clit, moaning at the taste of her on my lips. Needing her closer, I palm the globes of her ass and pull her into my face, fucking her with my tongue, swirling my tongue over her clit as she rocks and grinds against me. “That’s it, baby, fuck yourself on my face. Get yourself off, and then I’m going to fuck you so hard you won’t be able to stand.”

“Yes.”

I squeeze her ass as her juices run down my chin, her fingers pulling at my hair when I suck her clit into my mouth and tease her with my tongue.

“This what you want, baby?”
