Holden moved me away, and his dick popped out of my mouth. Without a word, he stood, then bent me over. He pushed at my entrance, only giving me a little at a time.
“Holden,” I whimpered. “Fuck me, please.”
He kneaded my ass cheeks as he continued to torture me. “Please.”
He held me firm, then plunged into me. Holden slammed into me over and over until I was moaning his name again. My core clenched around him as sheer ecstasy claimed me.
“Fuck!” Holden yelled as he buried himself deep inside.
To my surprise, he pulled out. I peeked over my shoulder as he jacked off and came on me.
He sank to his knees and kissed my inner thigh, his hot breath grazing my sensitive skin.
“River?” He stood and tugged his pants up while I collapsed on the furniture, still attempting to recover.
“Yeah?” I looked up at him, expecting to see a hungry look in his expression, but there was nothing but gentleness.
“Are you okay?”
I sat up and adjusted my boobs back into the top of my dress. I smiled at him shyly. “I liked it.” Guilt knotted my stomach into little balls. Maybe I shouldn’t have liked my introduction to rough sex, but I did. At the same time, I felt dirty and wanted to find comfort in his arms.
He sat on the floor in front of me, his dark brown eyes searching me for any signs that I wasn’t telling him everything. He rubbed his clean-shaven jaw. “I like sex. A lot. But crossing lines won’t work.”
I frowned. “Did I do something wrong?”
Holden shook his head. “No, but I’m afraid I pushed you tonight. It’s easy to get caught up in the moment.” His shoulders slumped. “If I went too far, I’d feel like shit.”
I sat up and placed my hands on both sides of his face. “Do you love me?”
Holden’s intense gaze connected with mine. “I love you more than life itself.”
I leaned forward and kissed him gently. “That’s why I’m okay trying out what I like. What works for us. I know you’d never hurt me, baby. You have my word that I’ll tell you if we need to stop.”
“Swear it to me.” Holden’s words hitched in his throat.
“I swear.”
Although we were establishing clear lines in our relationship, I couldn’t help but wonder what had happened in his past for him to be so worried. For now, I would revel in the bliss of the hottest night of sex I’d ever had in my life, not to mention with the man that I loved.
After we arrived home and crawled into our bed, Holden made slow, sweet love to me that night. My body was sore from our earlier sexcapade, but I longed for his healing touch. His eyes never left mine as he poured his heart into me. With every thrust, Holden claimed another piece of my soul, and I willingly gave it to him.
Chapter Twenty-Seven
The bright morning sunlight spilled through the parted curtains. I stretched, the ache in my body reminding me of the crazy time at the club the evening before. I grinned as I rolled over, the soft, dark blue sheets rubbing against my bare skin.
My lip jutted out when I saw that Holden had already left the bed. After we’d made love, he held me most of the night. Apparently, I’d gotten too hot and moved away from him. I sat up slowly and eyed the alarm clock on his nightstand. Holy shit! I’d slept until almost one in the afternoon.
I flung the covers off me and headed straight to Holden’s shower. He wouldn’t be home for a while since he had a late class, but I’d wanted to have time to clean up the house. Although a housekeeper came in a few times a week, I still wanted to contribute. It was the least I could do for Holden taking me in. Plus, I wanted to surprise him with lasagna tonight. Addison and I had made the recipe for her parents, and I loved it as much as they had.
An ache clutched my chest. I needed to call her. I’d been a shit friend by not reaching out more. After Holden had given me a phone, I’d text her several times, but her responses were short, and she hadn’t reached back out to me. I wanted to explain what had happened, but a part of me had slammed the door on Dan and his abuse. I didn’t want to open that box of horror again. I was finally moving forward with Holden. Who I was a few months ago wasn’t the same girl standing naked and happy in her boyfriend’s bathroom. But maybe Addison had found someone too. It was painful to admit we were different people than we were five months ago when she left for college.
After I showered and dressed in a Victoria’s Secret sweatshirt and shorts, I realized I had no idea where the washer and dryer were. Grabbing my cane, I wandered down the hall, then down the stairs to the main floor. Logically, it would make sense that there were a few in this large of a house. Although Holden had shown me the guest and game rooms, I still didn’t know where his parents slept. I stood in the foyer, debating which direction to turn.
The cold marble floors chilled my bare feet as I turned left on the main floor. From what I recalled, Holden’s parents’ master bedroom and the office were on this side.
An eerie feeling settled on my shoulders as I called out, “Hello,” just in case anyone was here. My voice echoed through the emptiness. I bit my lip and walked down the hall, noticing that there was a bathroom on the left. Pausing before a closed door on the right, I gently tried the doorknob, but it was locked. Once I reached the end, I located the utility room on the left and another closed door across from it. I glanced behind me, convinced I wasn’t alone. I tried the handle in front of me, but it was locked, too. I blew out a sigh, realizing my nerves and overactive imagination were fucking with me. It was spooky walking around Holden’s house without him here.
I hurried back down the hallway as fast as I could with my cane. I’d look for another laundry room. This part of the home was freaking me out. Before I searched downstairs, I realized it would be easier to gather our dirty clothes and bring them down with me. I laughed softly. Slide them down the stairs was more like it. I couldn’t carry the basket with only one hand. With a plan in place, I made my way to Holden’s room again. My heart hammered something fierce as I sat on the edge of our bed. Becky’s words flashed across my mind again, and this time I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was wrong.
