“Ryan.” She called out his name, and he couldn’t help moveeven closer and take more of her into his mouth.

She tasted just as sweet as he imagined, with a littletartness. Perfection.

He sucked on her clit and used his fingers to continue tospread her for him. He lapped at her, sucking, licking, kneading.

And then he used his other hand to slowly trace her lowerlips before spearing her with two fingers.

She gasped again and almost fell back on the bed.

Luckily, he moved his hand from her to keep her steady,though he knew her knees were shaking.

His knees were shaking too, but thankfully, he was kneeling.

She put a hand on the edge of the bed and tangled the otherin his hair, pulling his face closer to her.

He smiled as he licked and sucked at her. He fucked her withhis fingers, loving her little moans and the way her breaths came in shortpants.

And then when she came, arching into him, he kept his mouthon her, tasting every single drop of her orgasm. Before she could pull away,before she could tell him that she wanted him inside her—because that’s exactlywhat she was going to say, because that’s exactly what he wanted—hepushed at her slightly and then helped her sit on the edge of the bed.

“Ryan?” Her voice was a little groggy, and her eyes werefairly black with lust.

She looked beautiful when she came, and he wanted to see itagain. So he put both of her legs on his shoulders and went back to eating herout. This time when she came, she fell back, her hands on her breasts as shepanted his name. He licked up her second orgasm and then stood up so he hoveredover her.

The fact that she was completely naked and he was fullyclothed just made everything hotter. He didn’t know why. But damn if he didn’twant to just lean over and kiss her until she somehow came again by his touchalone.

That wasn’t going to happen, though, not when he was alreadystraining the seams of his jeans.

“I need you inside me.”

He looked down at her and then licked her taste off hislips. “I had a feeling you were going to say that.”

“I would throw a pillow at you, but I’m a little too weak todo it. So if you could just get a condom and get inside me, that would begreat.” She paused. “I bought a new box, just in case. They’re in the drawer.”

He leaned over her, her naked body pressed against hisclothed one as he kissed her. He knew that she could taste herself on histongue, and that made him even harder.

“I brought a condom, too. But the fact that you wanted to besafe for both of us? The fact that you thought that this could happen? It justmakes me want to keep fucking you. Keep making love to you. Is that okay?”

She looked up at him, tracing her fingertips through hisbeard. When she gave him a slight nod, he swallowed hard. “I bought the new boxfor you. And for me. I wanted to be safe, and maybe I was putting the cartbefore the horse, but considering what we’re doing right now, I’m glad I didit. And I’m glad you brought some. I’m glad you thought of our safety.”

Maybe if they’d been younger, the idea that they wereplanning ahead would have been presumptuous, but not now. Having condoms on anydate, just in case, was smart. It wasn’t saying that you had to have sex, itmeant that you wanted to be able to have sex if you wanted to. And that youweren’t going to make a mistake by going bare on the first date. Accidentalpregnancies and diseases were no joke, and he wasn’t going to risk Abby orhimself because they hadn’t been thinking ahead.

He quickly went to the drawer she’d indicated and pulled oneout. He had one in his pocket, but for some reason, he wanted to use hers. He’dgone damn insane. And then he pulled out a second condom and put it on thenightstand.

He winked at her. “Just in case.”

“I think I said something about stripping you, but I think…Ithink I just want to watch you do it.” Suddenly, she had one hand on her pussy,and the other on her breast as she watched him. The fact that she was gettingherself off right in front of him?

Hottest. Thing. Ever.

He was very lucky he didn’t come immediately.

He didn’t think he’d ever stripped so fast. He almost chokedhimself with the buttons on his shirt, but that the idea she didn’t laugh athim and instead continued to touch herself had to count as a win.

“You’re so damn hot,” he said as he rolled the condom overhis dick.

“Same to you. Now, really, if you could just get in me. Thatwould be great.”

Ryan grinned and then crawled over her, leaving a soft kisson each of her breasts, her neck, and then her lips on his way up her body.
