“Uh-huh. So maybe all the way back then, I just knew.” It was something I’d thought about forever, and it was probably true.

Once I placed the letter back in my safe spot, I turned to Lark.

His fingers gripped the back of my neck, and his body moved in close. So damned close that I was wedged between the wall and him, and though I could’ve easily gotten by him, I wasn’t complaining. In fact, this seemed the first time he was initiating, so maybe that letter had been cathartic for him as well.

“Henners,” he said as his thumb swiped across my eyebrow. “That scar is how I recognized you, our first day of school.”

I had almost forgotten about my soccer accident as a kid. The fact that he remembered such a minute detail made me shiver. As if an electric storm was brewing inside me, each touch from his fingertips ignited my skin, creating a prickle of shameless longing.

“I want… I need…”

Suddenly I turned him around and pushed him against the wall. I could’ve sworn I heard him utterfuck yesunder his breath, which made my confidence skyrocket.

He trembled with need as my fingertips trailed across his chest and down to the waistband of his jeans. I knew what I wanted to experience, with him, but I needed him to want it too.

“What if I want to put my mouth onyouthis time?” I positioned my knee between his legs and felt his cock stiffen instantly.

His head angled against the wall. “Please, Henners.”

“Please what?” My tongue flitted out to lick his ear, and then I pinned the lobe between my teeth. I didn’t know what had come over me, but Lark brought it out in me. “Tell me what you want.”

I saw a vulnerability in his gaze as he glanced at the door. “I want you to suck me.”

I buried my head in his neck, feeling relief and nerves at the same time. I wanted to make him feel as good as he had me.

I stepped back to allow him room. “Sit on the bed and help me with your jeans.”

His hands shook as he tugged his pants and underwear down to his ankles. I could get off on that sight alone. His cock was flushed and full against his stomach. The hair at his groin was lighter than mine and looked as soft as the unruly locks on his head—something I’d never had the opportunity to notice about a guy before.

When he sat down, I sank to my knees in front of him, my voice betraying me as my nerves got the best of me. “I…I’ve never done this before.”

“It doesn’t matter. Any way you touch me will feel good.” His voice was low and smooth in my ear. “I just wantyou.” I couldn’t believe how much his words affected me. This gorgeous and amazing guy wantedme.

And I wantedhim, desperately. But soon that thought was lost in the buzzing of my brain as he leaned forward and sucked on my neck and shifted his fingers slightly beneath my shirt. He angled his head to press our lips together, which effectively drowned out the nervous static in my head.

I shifted my hands to his hair and yanked his mouth to mine. Our tongues clashed at a frantic pace as we panted into each other’s mouths. When I wound my fist around his shaft, I could feel it throbbing against my palm.

“Oh fuck.Please.”

His pleading egged me on as I leaned forward to tenderly brush my lips against his thigh and hip and belly because the very act was precious to me—hewas becoming precious to me.

LARK

I was sittingbare from the waist down and on display in front of him. Not that Henry hadn’t seen my cock before, but this was different. This was his first time, and I didn’t want him to feel indebted to me or anxious.

When our eyes met, a spark of longing flared in his irises, and that helped settle my stomach. Still, my bottom lip quivered in anticipation.

I nearly came unglued as he outlined my belly button with his tongue. I didn’t know what it was about him seeming so confident right then, but I felt on fire as I squirmed beneath his touch. When he finally settled between my legs, my knees trembled as I panted openly with raw need.

He angled closer, and his hot breath fanning across my cock felt like a shock to my system. But when he kissed the tip of my cock almost reverently, I moaned so noisily I was afraid anyone outside the door would hear. His hand covered my mouth to shush me, but there was amusement in his eyes, along with what seemed like awe for having elicited that desired effect.

“I know I’m probably moving too slow,” he murmured. “I’m just trying to be in the moment…show you how much I want this.”

“No, it’s…”Making me lose my mind.“It’s all right. No complaints from me.”

I could only give the hint of a nod as his mouth hovered closer to me, his lips a breath away from my skin. My chest heaved with eagerness.
