This counter was a little high for it to be comfortable to fuck her on it, but I definitely would’ve tried if it hadn’t been for the fabric in the way. Now at least, I could focus on her. Taking a handful of her hair again, I tugged just hard enough to make sure she kept looking at me, and I moved my free hand between her legs, groaning again when I was met with soaked, soft flesh and the sound of her soft gasp as soon as I touched her.
Mine, something deep inside me shouted, the word reverberating through my head. I didn’t say it out loud this time, though. The same instinct had gripped me that night in Edinburgh, but tonight, I knew I was going to have to see her again tomorrow.
Which meant that I had to exercise at least some measure of restraint. It wasn’t much, though, but it was something.
I held her gaze as I slid my fingers into her, noticing every gasp and moan and every shudder that ran through her. I made mental notes about what caused them, then did it again and again until Ella’s brow furrowed and she clamped down on my fingers, my name on her lips as she came.
I moaned right along with her, so hard now that I was aching, throbbing to get inside her. It took everything I had not to strip and take her right here.
That had been so fucking hot, watching and feeling her come apart for me, that I was right at the edge of losing control, but I didn’t want to. Not just yet. Instead, I helped her off the island when she finally came back down again and sealed my lips over hers, kissing her as I marched her back into the living room.
I knew this place as well as I knew the back of my hand, so I didn’t even need to look to get us to the sofa. Once we reached it, I pushed her down gently but firmly. As she sat, her eyes opened and she looked up at me, but I shook my head when she beckoned for me to join her and sat down on my knees instead.
I was nowhere near done with her. I had some serious shit to shut out tonight and I had a feeling she did too. I was going to drive us both out of our minds, tire us out so good that by the time we finally got to bed, there would be no time to worry about the nightmares.
Ella watched me as I sank down on my knees. She leaned back against the sofa, her skin flushed a rosy shade of pink and her chest rising and falling fast. Somehow, she mostly seemed to know exactly what I wanted and she did it without me having to tell her to, which was damn nice.
I’d never felt as in sync with someone sexually as I did with her. Sure, it’d been four years but that night had been burned into my memory for life. I’d never forgotten how good we’d been together or how she instinctively gave me what I needed.
My eyes locked on hers and I spread her legs, exposing her pretty pussy to myself. I looked it over before I ran my tongue through her folds. I hadn’t told her to, but she watched me anyway, writhing and moaning but never closing her eyes until I knew she was about to come again.
I would’ve let her if I wasn’t feeling as wild as I was. I needed this more than I’d realized and it needed to last. Ella cried out when I pulled away. Pushing myself up on my knees, I kissed her hard as my fingers wound into her hair.
She held on to me tightly, clearly not minding the taste of herself on my lips as she tried to get me to lie down with her on the sofa. I shook my head though, murmuring into her mouth between kisses. “The floor is better. More space.”
Without a word, she followed me down, laying me flat on my back by pushing gently at my shoulders. She stayed on her knees beside me and ran her gaze and hands over every inch of me, making my cock beg to get inside her.
She finally undid my pants. I got a kick out of it when her eyes went wide as she finally got a good look at it. That night in Scotland, her bedroom at the hostel had been pretty dark. Besides, it’d been four years, so I let her look her fill now, even if my heart was thrumming and my dick was about to start twitching.
Ella let out a soft breath, her eyes flying back up to mine, and she wrapped her fingers around my length almost hesitantly. I wondered what that was about. She didn’t have to be hesitant with me, but she was anyway, seeming unsure as her palm started moving.
Meanwhile, I hissed out my next breath, my hips rocking into her touch. I looked back into her eyes until I realized I couldn’t anymore. Bringing my fingers to her wrist, I stopped her movements and got up, taking her hand and bringing her with me.
“We’re going to the bedroom.”
“Why?”
“Because I’m going to make you scream and these windows face the house. I don’t particularly mind if anyone hears you, but I get the feeling you might.”
Her cheeks had already been flushed, but they grew hot now as she followed me. “Yeah, that’s a good point.”
I chuckled, but the moment faded as soon as we reached the master suite, and I laid her down on the bed. I’d grabbed my wallet before I’d gotten up, and I slid a condom out of it now while she lay across the mattress.
As I showed her the package, I looked into her eyes. “Yes?”
She nodded, opening her arms for me as she responded. “Definitely, yes.”
I tore it open with my teeth and rolled it on, then joined her on the bed and helped her to get on top of me. I sat with my back against the headboard, holding her hands as I guided her over me with one of her thighs pressed to the sides of each of mine.
She held my gaze with her own as she lowered herself down on me slowly, so slowly that it almost felt like she was trying to figure out what to do. Like she was trying to remember how to ride a bike. But that couldn’t be right.
Soon enough, she seemed to find her confidence, eventually closing her eyes as she rode me like a bucking bronco. When she came again, I was right there with her, my hands in hers as pleasure exploded out of me. I wondered why the hell it had taken us so long to do this again.
There might’ve been a lot I didn’t know about Ella, but the one thing that I did know without a shadow of a doubt was that physically, it didn’t get better than this. Hot, wild, and all over the place was my favorite kind of sex, and it looked like I’d just found a favorite new partner.
