She nodded. “Yeah. Thank goodness. Not sure I could have spent one more minute cooped up in that room.” Ella took adeep breath. “I never got to thank you. For taking care of me. Whatever you told Ilene…” Her shoulders sagged. “You saved me. I could have gotten seriously in trouble for you spending the night.” The toe of her shoe dug into the grass, and I could tell she was trying to distract herself with the action.
“I just did what anyone would do.”
“No.” She shook her head. “You did more than that, and you know it. No one else would have…” Ella cleared her throat, finally looking at me again. “In any case, I owe you.”
I can’t hold myself back from brushing one strand of her hair back behind her ear. She had left it down today, and I was so obsessed with her hair that I couldn’t help it. “You don’t owe me.”
“Hmm?”
“You. Don’t. Owe. Me.” I paused at each individual word. “I don’t want a favor for taking care of you, Ella.” My throat constricted at the thought, trying to choke out the words. “Not when I couldn’t even think of leaving you like that.” I’d always been a natural caregiver. Ever since I was little, I’d always wanted to take care of the people around me. The people I cared about. My little—I cut off the thought. It was too hard.
But this? It was more than just wanting to make sure she was okay. I needed it.
“I…” Her hand wrapped around my wrist, pulling me behind her, and I let her guide me into the house.
“What are we doing?”
She slammed the door shut and swiftly locked it behind her. “I don’tknow,” she huffed out, turning on her heel to face me. I’d thought I’d tempered her anger, but suddenly it had flared up again. “Who won the bet?”
I shook my head. “Don’t know. I stopped keeping count.” I never really had been. “Why?”
When she spun around, all I could see was just in her eyes. Pure need.
“You promised me,” she whispered, her voice rough.
Like I’d be able to forget that.
She didn’t need to tell me twice.
Pinning her up against the bathroom door, I kissed herhard. My tongue swept into her mouth, demanding,taking.I kissed her like it was the last time I’d ever be able to, because I didn’t know if thiswouldever happen again. So I was going to take my time and devour her properly. I lifted her hips, bringing our mouths to an even better angle.
Pulling away, I focused on her face. “What do you need, baby?” I hadn’t been able to stop myself when the endearment slipped out before, and I certainly wouldn’t stop now.
“I want you to fuck me,” Ella groaned, “like youmeanit.” She wrapped her legs around my waist, her core grinding against me.
God, but I wanted to. If the painful bulge in my pants was any sign, I’d needed it, too. But this wasn’t my bedroom, and I wasn’t thinking clearly enough to drag her back in there.
“Princess.”I nipped at her neck. “I don’t have anything on me.”
While I’d love nothing more than to bury myself in her tight, wet heat, I couldn’t risk that. I’d never gone without a condom before, and even if she was on birth control, there was always a chance.
“But I promised you an orgasm,” I started, my lips splitting with a devilish smile, “so that’s what you’ll get.”
“I didn’t win, though,” she breathed out as I lifted her onto the bathroom counter. Like she wasn’t thinking clearly, either.
Because making her come wasmyprize, but suddenly, she made it sound like it was hers, too.
“This way, we both win.” My eyes sparkled with mischief as I kneeled in front of her, pushing her panties to the side to thrust my tongue inside of her, groaning the minute her taste exploded on my tongue.
“Fuck,” Ella groaned as I licked her, taking the time to reacquaint myself with her body. It had been almost a month sinceHalloween, since we’d been together last, and yet this was what I’d been unable to get off of my mind. Her. Her taste. The feeling of my head being buried between her thighs.
It was everything I wanted. Everything I needed.
“I’ve missed this…” I groaned, pulling away to look up at her even as I remained between her thighs. “Tasting you on my tongue.”
“Don’t stop,” she pleaded, her fingers twisting into my hair, guiding me back where she wanted.
I was happy to oblige—licking, sucking, even the scrape of my teeth against her clit, spurring her on.
