Page 54 of Let’s Be Real

Physical was easy. Everything else was difficult for me to access. But maybe that didn’t matter right now. I understood this particular need and knew exactly what to do with it.

We shut down the kitchen and retreated to my bedroom. Standing side by side in the bathroom, we brushed our teeth together. She smirked at my pajamas, and I laughed. It was impossible not to.

I tapped my toothbrush on the sink, returned it to its rightful spot, and moved behind her.

She straightened, meeting my gaze in the mirror. I stepped close, just shy of touching her, giving her the choice of where to take this.

Her back arched enough to put us in contact, and I reached up, brushing her hair away from her neck, then brought my mouth to her ear.

“I would really like to fuck you again, Samantha.”

Her breath hitched, and she nodded. “Yes. Let’s do that.”

Blood surged to my cock, leaving me lightheaded—empty of all thoughts except my need to lose myself inside her and let it all fade.

I slid my hands over her hips and around her stomach, pulling her against my erection. She gasped, rocking into me, and raised her hands over her head to latch onto the back of my neck. We watched through the mirror as my hand dipped beneath her boxers, finding her bare. She spread her legs, letting me in.

I took my eyes off hers to bury my face in her neck as I rolled her clit with the pad of my finger. Her skin was smooth and smelled like a mix of lavender, soap, and a little bit of sex. I mouthed along the column of her throat, suckling over her thrumming pulse. Her moans vibrated my lips, and her head fell back on my shoulder, opening her throat to me.

I dug my teeth in her collarbone, and her pussy slickened under my fingers. She arched, and I pressed forward, wedging my cock between her cheeks. She turned her head and dragged her lips along my jaw as her fingers tangled in the back of my hair, tugging and grasping.

“Fuck,” I murmured. “You’re out of this world.”

“I’m ready.”

“Here?”

“Anywhere.”

Once again, I found her eyes, and she found mine. Then I yanked her boxers down and freed myself from my pants, my cock thumping against her lower back. She tugged off her T-shirt and dropped her hands to brace them on the counter, bending forward, almost presenting herself for me.

I took her cheeks in my hands, opening her up. Dragging them from front to back, spreading her arousal all over. I stopped on her back hole, toying with it, and she moaned, letting me know she liked that too.

“Maybe one day.” I fisted her hair in my hand, keeping her neck arched so I could see the reflection of her face. “I don’t have the patience to take my time right now.”

She wiggled her hips, drawing me closer. “Fuck me then. Please, like you said.”

My cock nudged her entrance, and her heat stopped me, making me draw back. “Condom.”

We hadn’t talked about it last time, but we should have. Two of my brothers had had unexpected pregnancies with their partners, and I wasn’t in any place to become the third.

She sucked in a breath. “I’m okay without one if you are. I have an IUD, and I get tested regularly.”

It took me all of two heartbeats to agree. “Yeah. I’m okay with that.”

One more heartbeat and I was sliding home. I held on to her hips and drove into her in one powerful push.

Her hands slipped on the marble, but I had her, keeping our bodies together with my grip on her waist. I gave her a moment to steady while I tried to gain some semblance of control.

“I won’t go easy,” I warned.

“Please don’t. I don’t want easy.”

And that was that. An unleashing of everything inside me I could not name. Permission to give it all to her in the way I desperately needed. I had no desire to hurt her. I wanted to bring us both to the brink so we’d remember this and feel it long after it was over.

Our skin slapped, echoing off the tile walls. Moans joined, deep and high, mingling. Samantha’s nails scrabbled on the smooth counter, and a flush climbed up her neck and cheeks.

When her head started to fall, I let go of one hip to cup her throat, tilting her head back. “Keep looking at me. I have to see your eyes.”
