“Oh. No. Whatever will I do?” Her hands continued to explore my abdomen. My core muscles flexed under her touch, slightly ticklish.
She scooted off the bed to walk behind me, exploring my shoulders and the muscles of my spine. She wrapped me in a hug from behind. Her warm, soft breasts pressed into me, and her breath brushed between my shoulder blades.
Still behind me, she reached around and brushed the top button of my trousers, and I flexed hard, a flood of heat rushing to my cock. I had never in all my life been so rock hard. I had never been explored like this. It was incredibly erotic but also felt tender and loving. Fuck, if I didn’t feel cherished.
So long I had wanted her. So many nights I had fantasized about this exact moment.
“The way you touch me,” I said on a gasp as her hands brushed over my bulge.
“There wasn’t a day that I didn’t think about you. Or wonder what you were up to.” She shoved my trousers down. “My day wouldn’t feel complete until I shared it with you.”
I swallowed, emotion tightening my throat. “You consumed my thoughts all the time,” I said as she walked back to stand in front of me. “I couldn’t wait to share the smallest detail of my day with you. You’ve been my go-to for so long.” I cupped her cheek, and she leaned into my hand, closing her eyes for a moment. We stood almost completely exposed, and while our hands wouldn’t stop reaching for each other, our gazes remained locked.
“Go-to?” she asked.
“The person in my life that I ‘go-to’ for the dumb shit. When I hear a really corny joke or Freddy gets stuck in a tree again. You know all those little details about my life so all I needed to do was just send one word and you’d get it,” I explained. It didn’t even scratch the surface of my feelings for her, but I hoped it conveyed what I meant.
“You’re my go-to too.” She shook her head. “Even when I was with—”
I growled.
“Sorry. Not a great time to bring him up, but that was probably a good indication that my heart wasn’t fully invested with him.”
I swallowed with difficulty. Her hand rested on my chest, and it was as though my heart tried to beat into her palm. “Your heart is invested now?” I asked on a whisper.
Her dark eyes held mine. “So completely, yes.”
I let out a long shaking breath.
Could lovemaking be like this? Funny yet serious? Gentle and vulnerable?
She watched me closely, and I saw the moment she shifted from tenderness to desire. “There is still much of you I’d like to learn.” I bulged obscenely from my briefs in case she had any doubts about how badly I wanted her. Her gaze remained locked on mine as she freed me, gauging my reaction as her soft hand ran the length of me, testing.
I mumbled something incoherent. I couldn’t keep my hands patient anymore. I grabbed her bottom, squeezing roughly. Loving how she overfilled my palms. Christ, it was like she was custom-made for my deepest desires.
Then she dropped to her knees to continue her exploration. How could I be this lucky? How could any man deserve the attention she lavished me with? She scratched her nails up the back of my calves. She gripped my thighs. Squeezed tightly.
“I never knew I could like thighs this much. So strong,” she murmured.
Her sweet exploration continued higher until, finally, she used both hands to stroke down my length. My cock jolted in her grip.
I threw back my head and groaned. She licked her way up, taking her time every single step of the way. I might need to sit down. I was going to fall over.
“Christ, Kate.” My hands went for her hair. They twisted in her short locks as she grabbed my backside and took me fully in her mouth.
“Kate—I can’t.” I made the mistake of looking down at her as she worked me. Eyes watching me, hooded with desire, cheeks hallowing with suction, full lips gripping. “Ahh,” I yelled and just barely stopped myself from coming without any warning.
I pulled back from her, popping out of her mouth audibly. Her eyes watered but she had a smug smirk on her face.
I was distantly aware that my chest was heaving uncontrollably, but she was just as gone. Her sweet lips were swollen and gleaming. Her chest flushed red as she sat back on her knees, panting. Her eyes wide and dark as they devoured every inch of me.
“My turn.” I helped her to stand, wrapped my arm around her waist, and tumbled us into bed.
I brought her up to fit against me, positioned just as we were when we had awoken, her bottom to my hips. She slung one leg over my thigh, exposing more of herself. My hand lowered to tease her as she wiggled against me. My cock slid between her hot thighs.
I hissed out a breath. She was already so warm and wet. I could so easily slip into her and fuck her like this. Instead, I shifted us so I could lay her on her back. I spread her legs wide and laid on top of her. We kissed until she was gasping. Our bodies moved against each other like I was already inside her. I was close to coming again just from this hot, messy snogging.
I broke the kiss and lowered to hover on my forearms above her breasts. I licked one nipple and looked up at her. “Is this okay?”
