CHAPTER FOURTEEN

ETHAN

––––––––

The constant dingingof my phone became unbearable, but to hell if I was going to unwrap my arms from Ivy to silence it. Instead, I just ignored the barrage of texts I knew were from the guys giving me shit about my abrupt departure and wanting details about how it had gone with Ivy. They knew I intended to make my move and try to crawl out of the friend zone, but what they wouldn’t know is that instead, she’d surprised me with another one of her mind-blowing kisses. Then she’d blown my mind some more when she’d been so ready to take things to the next level.

A level we’d hit over and over again last night.

I was insatiable to be inside her, and it was an experience I’d never had before. Being with Ivy was like an ice-cold glass of water after I’d been dying of dehydration in the desert. It wasn’t just getting to experience her letting go for the first time that had made things so much more intense for me. It wasmeletting go for the first time and opening myself to the idea that maybe I didn’t have to be single all my life to be happy. Maybe I could find happiness with someone ... maybe I could find my happiness with Ivy.

I had intended for this to be one of my usual flings ... me following the desires that had led me straight into Ivy’s arms. But somewhere in the night, my desires for her changed. No longer did I just want to experience having sex with her and connecting with her in a quick fling that would leave us both satiated and happy. Now I started to see past the moment, and it surprised me how quickly I could picture Ivy in my life longer than the weekend. Ivy wanted so badly now to experience new things and throw away all her old ideals and open herself to a life full of adventure. A life like mine. Little thoughts of being at her side as we did them together crowded inside my mind.

She wiggled in my arm, and my cock stirred as her naked ass brushed against it.

“Well, good morning to me.” She giggled and pushed back against me.

I leaned over and slid my hand around her chin, pulling her around and pressing a kiss to her lips. “Good morning,” I whispered against them.

Her eyes went big, and she quickly covered her mouth. “Oh, God. I probably have morning breath.”

“I don’t care.” I pulled her hand aside and kissed her again.

She sighed and rolled over, wrapping her arms around my neck, kissing me with the same passion she’d given me over and over again last night.

“Well, I have to say, in case you’re still curious, you are absolutely, positively, not a dud in the sack.”

She froze, then burst out laughing. “I’m not? For real?”

I blew out a breath and pulled her against me. “That was hands down the best sex I’ve ever had in my life. Whatever reason those idiots have for cheating on you, this definitely isn’t it.”

Her face lit up like a sunbeam. “Well, thank you for your honest opinion. Although, I have to admit I’ve never let myself be so wild and uninhibited as I was last night. That was ...”

“Incredible,” I answered for her. “It was incredible. And totally and completely unexpected.”

She sucked the air through her teeth. “Yeah. I broke rule number one again.”

“You really are bad at following that rule.”

“Well, can you blame me?” She leaned up and pressed a soft kiss to my lips.

“No. I definitely can’t blame you, and I’m thrilled you did away with it.”

“Yeah. The girls last night convinced me that having a one-night stand was a great idea and to get out of my own head.”

“Oh, they did, did they? Remind me to send them all thank-you notes.”

Ivy laughed. “Yeah. I’ve always held myself back from doing these risky, reckless things, but you only live once, right?”

“Exactly. That’s what I’ve been saying all along.”

“Well, I’m done holding myself back.” She tipped her head. “And speaking of holding myself back, it looks like rule number one is gone, huh?” She dragged a finger across my chest, and my cock throbbed at her gentle touch.

“Oh, it’s completely gone. There’s no going back on it now. If you think I’m not going to keep kissing you and doing other things with you,” I paused and waggled my eyebrows, eliciting a giggle from her, “then you are sadly mistaken.”

“Well, I mean, since I already ate the pizza, I guess why not binge for the next few days while we’re here? Right?”

The next few days.
