At the end of the drive to Boston, Ifelt like acar had run over me, instead of riding in one. Olivia was right though. Driving with Zach more than surpassed riding alone in abus.
“I’mso sorry for my parents,” Irepeated for the who-knows-how-many times today.
“Stop apologizing.” He placed afinger under my chin, forcing me to meet his eyes. “You and Olivia warned me, and Istill came because Icare for you. Iknow Imade the right call, too, seeing how those old fucks treated you. Sorry, your parents.”
“No need to apologize for telling the truth.” Iscrunched my lips. “Thank you, again.”
“Anytime, Tulip.”
Tension filled the small space of the car as the seconds ticked by. Zach had seen my naked body, every part of it, and yet I’dnever felt more bare than Idid then and there. The raw vulnerability Iexposed to him should’ve frightened me, it should’ve made me hate the new layer of connection we formed through this.
And somehow, it didn’t. My emotional nudity made me crave him more. To want to entangle my limbs with his, to cuddle with the man who had metaphorically flipped off my parents.
Iwould’ve laughed if it hadn’tbeen so pathetic.
“Would you like to come inside?” Iasked. The house would’ve felt too big without Olivia in it, and Iwanted Zach’spresence to crowd every empty inch.
“I’dvery much like to come. Inside.” His husky voice and dark blue eyes devoured my lips.
“Zach?”
“Mm-hmm?”
“Iwant to be all over you too.” He leaned in to kiss me and Ipushed his face away. “Not here.”
He leaned in to kiss my cheek regardless.
Then Iran to the door because when he had this predator look in his eyes, Iknew he’dgo for me—fuck the consequences. He was getting careless, and for the second time today it really sucked being the adult.
Fortunately, Ididn’thave to assume that role for long.
Ilocked the door behind me, letting him hold my hand and lead me to the bedroom.
He cupped my cheeks, angling my head for our lips to meet.
“Finally,” he said against them. And then they connected.
The soft, tender nature of these numerous kisses stirred me. They were seasoned with something other than lust, each of them stirring my insides whenever his lips flickered back to mine. Irefused to believe it meant anything other than the unraveling of emotions from the loaded day we’dhad.
To prove the point to myself, and stop his relentless teasing, Isucked on his bottom lip, preventing him from pulling away. Zach responded to my challenge, groaning and shoving his hands through my hair, pulling me close. This spark in him flared in me, and my hunger turned me ravenous.
Igripped his shirt, seeking the damned buttons. Zach’sarms moved down to my waist, his mouth traveling to my jaw, not so soft anymore but mirroring my own yearning. He stroked my back firmly, nibbled my prickling skin, and Istill couldn’tfind the damn buttons.
The wires in my head disconnected and reconnected, my hands eventually sensing his buttons and undoing them one by one. At the last one Iput the smallest distance between us, just to strip off his shirt, when Isaw his chest. It never ceased to pull me in, and in the twilight of the afternoon, every etched muscle looked even more defined.
He took over when Ifroze, clutching the sleeves of my dress and pushing them down my arms. Then he had the same expression Idid when Isaw him naked, as if we’dnever seen each other like this before. Tenderness poured from him to me, his hands no longer clutching but caressing.
Electricity brimmed in the distance between us, adistance he closed as the initial awe of seeing each other anew faded out. He braced me, pinning me to his hips, probing my belly through his slacks. Taking afistful of my hair, he tilted my head back, lowering himself to my breasts. One languid lap of his tongue across my nipple was all it took for me to be apuddle in his arms, holding on to his biceps helplessly.
The slow intentional sucking and licking of my breasts brought me to the brink of coming. With every swipe, my skin prickled and my hips bowed to meet his erection. My throbbing center needed him in adespair Icould not put into words, adesire so primitive that Ifelt like Iwould’ve lost my mind if Ididn’thave him inside me.
As feeble as my hands were, Imanaged to reach the sides of his face and gain some distance. His eyes smoldered, erotically dark when they crashed into mine. The wordsFuck meitched to come out, until Irealized it wasn’twhat Iintended to say.
“Take me,” Ibegged him.
My voice was raspy and Ifeared my need went unheard when Zach stared at me, mouth slightly agape. Iopened mine to repeat it when he captured my lips, cupping my butt and hoisting me up in the air.
He carried me to the bed like that, amess of tongues and legs and arms moving wildly on skin, hair, and mouths. When he placed me on the bed, he released me to unbutton his pants and kick off his shoes, not leaving my sight as Iscooted up and removed my underwear.
