“Yeah, I can do that.”
He pulls out and repositions us so I’m splayed on my back, then thrusts into me so deeply I swear I can feel him in the back of my throat. Skin slaps as he sets a frantic pace, just as worked up as I am.
My hands explore the topography of his back, powerful lines of muscles shifting and tensing as he moves above me. I lift myhips, opening up and taking him as deeply as I can. My nails dig into his back as I writhe beneath him.
I’ll probably be soreeverywheretomorrow, and it will be completely worth it. He’s fucking me like I’m his, possessing my body the same way he owns my heart.
The pressure that’s been building forever finally explodes, my entire body awash in tingling pleasure.
I’m so lost in the haze I barely register the thickening of his cock as he finds his own release. Warmth seeps inside of me as he continues rocking into me, prolonging the tremors as euphoria slowly fades.
He kisses me.
It’s not the skilled exploration from earlier. That was a special reconnection. A tentative re-creation of what we’ve done a million times before.
This is a possession. Our mouths imitating the motion of our hips.
Filthy and messy and desperate.
I love it.
When he pulls away, I’m a sweaty, satisfied heap.
“Cassia?”
I muster enough energy to roll my head toward him. “Yeah?”
“I love you.”
He holds my gaze, letting those three words sink in. Sweet sentiment mixes with the remnants of lust and desire.
Holden leans over and grabs a sock out of his duffel bag, promising “It’s clean” before he carefully wipes between my legs. He tosses the white fabric and turns the light off before he lies back down, pulling me onto his chest.
I turn my face so it’s pressed against his neck, my heartbeat steadily slowing.
“I love you, Holden Adams,” I whisper.
CHAPTER TEN
CASSIA
Eileen smiles broadly as soon as I step inside the door. I pause, the bell chiming cheerfully as the door swings closed.
“Good morning?” It comes out a question, because Eileen is not a morning person and I’ve never seen her smile before nine a.m.
“Morning. How was your weekend?”
The smile spreads automatically.
We went to Finn’s fishing spot yesterday morning, so the rest of the guys could fish again and Holden could go once. I sat with the group of girls I’ve never felt like I belonged with, forcing those thoughts from my head. It helped that they were all friendly, with the exception of Grace, who barely said a word to me. She obviously noticed the lack of distance between me and Holden.
We got back to Pembrooke late afternoon, then Holden came over for dinner.
Eileen is still waiting for an answer. She takes Mondays off while I’m working, so I didn’t see her yesterday.
“It was really good,” I say.
She nods like she already knew my answer. “You picked a good one,” she tells me.
