“Yes,” she said, her voice husky.
He licked her inner thigh, and then, he traced a line to her sex with his tongue. He opened her and sucked at the top of her sex. A wave of pleasure crashed down on Lucy, pushing her so far into the depths that she forgot how to breathe.
“Oh, Aiden,” she cried, grabbing the fabric of his shirt.
“Do you like that?” he asked, letting his finger trail over her inner thigh.
Like it? That was the understatement of the year. “Yes,” she said. “Oh, yes.”
He kissed her sex again as he slipped a finger inside of her. Her muscles tightened around him. He slid another finger inside. It was a pleasure that bordered on pain. Aiden kissed her sex as he moved inside of her.
Pressure built in her middle. Outside, thunder rumbled. Winding her fingers through Aiden’s hair, she cried out with her orgasm.
He kissed her thigh again. “How was that for being kissed everywhere?”
“That was magnificent,” she said. “You are magnificent.”
“You’re pretty amazing, too,” he said. He shifted, so he was above her again. “What else do you want me to do?”
Lucy knew without hesitation what she wanted to do with Aiden. “Everything.”
He blew out the candle on the end table, as if making a wish. The sweet scent of sugar and vanilla mingled with the smoke. After rocking back to the floor, Aiden stood. Holding out his palm, he said, “Come with me. I have condoms in my bedroom.”
Lucy placed her hand in his and let him pull her to her feet.
Aiden snuffed out the other candle and pulled her behind him. Clad only in her silk shirt and bra, she followed him through the dark apartment. His bedroom was at the rear of the unit. The curtains were drawn, making it dark as a cave.
“Take two steps forward,” he said, his voice coming out of the darkness. “You’ll find the bed.”
Still holding his hand, she shuffled her feet forward. Once. Twice. Her shins connected with a box spring and mattress. She let go of him and leaned forward, pressing her hands onto the bedspread. Bent at the waist, her sex was exposed.
As if he could sense her pose, Aiden sucked in a shaking breath.
He stood beside her. She could feel the heat from his body and hear his breath. There was a rustling of fabric, the zip of metal teeth unlatching. The soft plunk of his clothes being dropped to the floor.
Now he was naked. Lucy peeled off her silk shirt and unfastened the hooks on her bra. She let them both fall.
“Where’d you go?”
“I’m right here.” His voice was next to her shoulder. There was a scraping sound as a drawer opened. The rustling of papers being shifted. Then, the sound of the drawer closing. “I had to get a condom.”
Lucy had been put on birth control years ago to control her heavy periods. But she knew there was more to worry about with unprotected sex than getting pregnant. “Thanks for taking care of both of us,” she said.
“Is that a yes?” he said, gripping her hips. “Do you want me inside of you?”
Lucy wanted him so badly that she could taste the desire. “Yes,” she said. “I want you.”
“Put your knees on the bed,” he said. “Open your thighs.”
Outside, the rain pelted the windows. The percussion matched the thrumming of her heart. She did as she was told. He moved to her. The hair on his legs tickled her inner thigh. He still held on to her hips and tightened his grip. He shifted his hips forward and entered her a little and then, a little more.
She wanted him in deeper and ground her ass against his hips. He sank inside of her, and Lucy gasped as he entered her fully. The pressure in her middle started to build again. Aiden pumped into her from behind.
With nothing to see and nothing to hear beyond the rain and her own ragged breath, Lucy was awash in sensations. Aiden was inside of her. Her feet were tangled around his legs. His fingers dug into her hips. Her hands were pressed into the covers on the bed. And still the pressure, like she was a bomb about to explode, filled her.
Leaning forward, he covered her back with his chest. “Roll over,” he whispered in her ear. “I want to kiss you.”
Lucy crawled forward onto the bed. The mattress creaked under her weight. She flipped onto her back. Aiden knelt between her thighs. She wanted him inside of her again. She needed her release.
