“I want more than that.” Her cheeks turned pink, which was sweet after what I had just done with my mouth. “But if you’d prefer to use a condom, there’s other stuff we can do now.”

I kissed her again. “I don’t want to wait. But only if you’re sure.”

I didn’t have sex without protection. Ever. But I found myself turned on to an impossible degree by the idea of having her bare pussy wrapped around my cock.

“I am. Take me, Julian.”

That was all the encouragement I needed before I pushed in until my balls knocked against her ass. “So fucking tight.”

Pressing my forehead to hers, I gave her a moment to adjust to taking every inch of me. When her hips lifted and she took me deeper, I gave us what we both wanted. Slowly at first, only picking up the pace when her legs wrapped around my waist. “That’s right, baby. Take it. I want to feel you move for me.”

“Julian! Oh, yes,” she cried, meeting me thrust for thrust.

I tilted her hips to go deeper, and her nails dug into my shoulders.

“Gimme your mouth.”

Wrapping her hair around my fist, I tilted her head back to plunge my tongue between her lips. Then I kissed my way across her jaw and down her neck as I continued to pound in and out of her.

The tingling at the base of my spine told me I wouldn’t last much longer. I wedged my hand between us and found her clit, and the sound she made when I circled it with my thumb nearly ended me.

“Come for me, baby,” I demanded, snapping my hips at a furious pace. “Now.”

Her walls clenched around me as she came again, and I followed as I buried myself deep, spilling into her until I had nothing left to give.

“Celia! Oh, fuck!”

“Wow,” she panted, collapsing against the pillows.

I dropped down on the mattress next to her and pulled her head onto my chest, running my fingers through her dark hair. Our first time together, and I’d just had the biggest orgasm of my life. I couldn’t imagine how much better it would get once we’d learned each other’s bodies.

“That was unexpected,” she murmured after we caught our breath.

I brushed a kiss against her temple. “You caught me unprepared.”

“I’ll have to give Megan a hard time for not thinking of condoms when she changed the sheets.” Her eyes widened, and her cheeks turned pink when she realized what she’d just admitted. “Can we pretend I didn’t say that?”

I kissed her hair. “Sure, but I love that you have a best friend who’s there for you.”

“She’s going to be impossible if I tell her the sheets were the right call.”

“That’s okay because you made me tiramisu and then ruined me in bed. I’m going to be impossible at breakfast.”

She leaned her head back with a smirk. “You’re assuming you’ll still be here.”

“I’m not leaving this bed unless you kick me out.” I tightened my arm around her. “Was that smug enough?”

She laughed into my chest. “Yes.”

“Want those cuddles I offered earlier?”

“I do.” She snuggled closer. “I’ll even trade you breakfast for them.”

That was too good a deal to turn down.
