When he finds me soaking wet, I’m almost embarrassed at how desperate my body is.
“You’re gushing,” he says, in a low voice that connects with me on this primitive, visceral level. “Oh fuck, babe, you have no idea how badly I need to be inside your tight, pink little hole right now.” And with his words, two of his fingers slip inside me and I gasp, automatically clenching around him.
“God, you’re greedy, aren’t you?” he whispers. “Totally underfucked and I’m about to change all of that for good.”
Oh, God. Please do.
He bites at my breast, plunging his fingers in further and my back is arching, wanting so much more, harder, longer, deeper. I want to be stripped naked, bare to the marrow, and I want him to take me so fucking completely I’ll never need anything else again.
“Mommy?”
Ah, fucking shit!
“Damn,” I cry out softly and Bram immediately retrieves his hand, zipping back up my jeans. We exchange a wild, bashful look between us and then, once my shirt is on properly, he lifts the couch fabric up and over us.
Ava is standing at the door to my bedroom, rubbing her eyes and looking sleepy. Thankfully from her position, she couldn’t have seen all that much.
“Hi, sweetie,” I say to her, trying to catch my breath.
She peers at me and Bram. “What are you doing? Your hair is all windy.”
“Just putting the couch together,” I say, smiling way too broadly. “Bram stopped by.”
“Hi, Bram.” She yawns and then plods along through the living room and sits down on the couch. The normal couch. The couch that doesn’t practically force two neighbors to have sex in it.
I look over at him as he pats down his hair with a smile. What the hell just happened? I’m still turned on as hell, my breasts feel heavy with desire, my clit throbs from where his thumb was pressing. Good Lord, I need him to continue.
But maybe this is a good thing that we stopped. Getting carried away would have been a bad idea.
Right? I realize I’m just asking myself and I don’t have the answers. I just want to get fucking laid by this Scottish sex god beside me.
“Well,” I say to Bram, clearing my throat. “Thanks for your help.”
He nods and slowly gets to his feet, pulling me up to mine as he goes. “Sure. But I wasn’t done helping you, you know. I was just getting started.”
I know what he’s saying and as much I want to ask for more, I’m not sure how and if I should.
“Well, thanks for the help you did give. You know, with the couch.”
He shoots me a wicked smile and then runs his fingers – his same fingers that were inside me just moments ago – underneath his nose and breathes in. “I’ll be back for more of this,” he says thickly.
Then he turns and leaves and I’m standing beside an almost finished piece of shit couch, wondering if my legs are ever going to stop shaking.
CHAPTER TWELVE
Nicola
I don’t see Bram for the rest of the night and when I wake up the morning, my body’s still groggy from the previous hangover and my insides ache for the brief moment that some part of Bram was inside me. It all feels like a dream, a really good wet dream, except I never got a chance to come and now I’m feeling embarrassed and sexually frustrated to boot.
Jesus, the things he said to me were so fucking hot, I don’t think any guy had been so explicit and we had barely gotten started. I wanted to see where that filthy mouth would have taken us – figuratively and literally. I wanted him to come back for “more of this.”
But as the morning stretched on, I’m stuck with one almost finished couch, another in a box I can’t even fathom putting together and I’m this close to taking the largest blunt object I have – probably my dildo – and smashing the shit out of both of them. Fucking IKEA! But it’s not really the store’s fault (not really), it’s mine for getting so wrapped up in him already. It’s like one little touch, one little taste, and I’m ready to give him more. Although, I would say neither his touch nor his taste was little. His tongue is strong and long and his fingers even more so.
Even though it’s Tuesday, Lisa can’t make it in to cover my shift today since it starts at 3pm but luckily my mother can. I’m starting to feel awful for dragging her out here more often. Shift work just isn’t as predictable as the jobs of my past but she’s a trooper and loves spending time with her granddaughter as much as possible.
“Hey, darling,” she says to me as she comes inside. She stops and immediately eyes the IKEA crap in the corner before waving at Ava who is lying on the original couch, buried in cushions and mindlessly watching TV.
Ava gives a half-hearted wave back, as if she can’t muster the energy. Normally I’d freak out that there’s something wrong with her but I just measured her blood levels and she’s in perfect range. She’s just a bit blah – must be picking it up from her mom.
Yet my mother says to me, “You’re looking good.” As if it’s a surprise, as if I normally walk around looking like a bag of crap. Hmmm. Maybe I do.
“Oh, thanks,” I say. I’m just wearing my normal bar uniform of black cleavage-producing tank top and jeans but she’s peering at me like I’m hiding something.
“Really,”’ she says, pinching one of my cheeks, something she hasn’t done since I was a little girl. “Whatever you’re doing, keep it up. Don’t forget you’re still young, you know, no matter how old this troublemaker makes you feel.” She jerks a thumb at Ava who pays no attention.
“Yeah, yeah,” I tell her. I grab my leather jacket I’ve had since the Dark Ages since SF decided to be a real asshole this week and drop the temperatures to about minus a million. I’m getting ready to head out the door, when my mother says, “Should I expect a visit from Bram?”
Even though the door handle is in my grasp, I let go and step back to face her.
“Mom, listen,” I tell her. “Bram’s a very nice guy.”
“A gentleman,” she says with a weirdly knowing smile.
“Sure,” I say. “I mean, he’s a real good guy. And also, not…anyway, my point is, I don’t care if he brought you over a kettle or seems to show an interest in me and whatever, he’s just my neighbor. He’s never going to be anything more than that.”
“Oh, Nicola…” she goes on, throwing her hands down at her sides.
I grab one of her hands. “I know you and this is pretty much the first guy you’ve met since I’ve been with Phil, other than that guy Ben, but he didn’t stick around much either, but really…Bram and I? We are just friends. I don’t know what the future holds but for now, he’s doing me a favor and I’m trying to make it as easy as possible on him.” I pause. “You know what I mean? And don’t do any of your mom meddling things that you usually do. That’s not going to work, okay? It may jeopardize the landlord-tenant relationship we have going.”
“What makes you think I would do any of that?”
“I can see it in your eyes,” I tell her. “I see it in my eyes too, sometimes.”
She throws her hands up in the air and walks over to the couch, plopping down beside Ava. “All right. I understand. Mom can’t have a little fun. But I’ll tell you, one day your daughter will be old enough to be dating boys and you’re going to care as much about the process as she does. Only she won’t let you.”
“Sounds fabulous.”
“It’s true. It’s what happens to all us moms. Time keeps chugging by and you all keep changing but the love never does. You’ll always be my little angel and she’ll always be yours. And all mothers just want their angels to find men worthy of them. Even more than that, someone that will look at them like they’re magic.” She looks at me, plopping her legs on the couch. “If you find a man who looks at you like you’re magic, you hold on to them. I had that with your father and I never should have let him go.”
I swallow hard. “But you have to think the man is magic, too. It goes both ways.”
She nods. “Yes you do. It has to be both ways and when you find it, it’s alchemy in its purest form. Don’t cast it aside for anything else.”
I don’t know what else to say. I tell my mom to call if there are any troubles and I leave.
I don’t see Bram in the halls. I don’t know what I’d say if I did. I’d probably ask for a ride and would end up getting more than I bargained for.
***
Unfortunately I don’t end up working the shift that night for very long. The night is slow and at around eight, James tells me I can go home. It’s great I still get the tips and a few more hours of my paycheck, even if I’m not there – he can be a really good boss sometimes. But the hassle of public transportation doesn’t help and also, I guess I just really wanted to be out of the apartment for a long time. It’s easy to forget about Bram when I’m so far removed.
I walk down the hall to my apartment, shrugging off my leather jacket and am about to stick the key in the door when I hear laughter.
My mom’s laughter.
Ava’s laughter.
Bram’s laughter.
Oh, hell no. I silently whip out the powder compact and give my face the once over. Hair is disheveled a bit but I look okay otherwise. I take a deep breath and open the door.
Inside my apartment are Bram, my mom and Ava. They are all sitting on the same couch.
Only it’s not my old couch and it’s obviously not the yellow shit piece. The yellow shit piece and the other box are stacked up by the door, right beside where I’m standing. All three of them are on this sleek, dark grey sofa that I’ve never seen before.
Actually, as I shut the door behind me and peer at it closer, it looks like the same futon Bram had his eye on in the store.
Oh my God, did he buy me a new fucking couch?
My eyes fly to his and from the way he’s grinning at me, the tip of his tongue held devilishly between his teeth, I know that’s exactly what happened.
“You’re home early,” my mom says and she looks bashful, as if I caught her doing something she shouldn’t be doing. She adds quickly, “Bram came by with this couch for you, isn’t that so nice of him?”
“It’s very nice of him,” I say, walking over the couch and kneading the top of it between my hands. It’s soft but sturdy. I like it a lot, but God how his charity is starting to make me uncomfortable at times. I think that’s why he does it. Screw the Richard Branson aspirations. I think Project Nicola Price aka Eliza Doolittle is more because he enjoys how much it bothers me. He’s becoming a regular old sugar daddy when I sure as hell never asked for one.
I look over at Ava who is smiling at Bram like he’s her damn hero. “How do you like the couch, angel?”
“I like it very much,” she says emphatically.
All right, so I guess that settles it. “Where’s the old couch?” I ask him, oddly sad I never got to say goodbye.
“A charity organization came to take it away, going to a half-way house,” he says. “So don’t worry, it’s going to a good cause. And tomorrow we’ll just return the other couches to IKEA.”
Oh, so we have plans for tomorrow now? I do my best to keep a stupid smile from showing on my lips.
“Well, now that you’re home, I better be going,” my mother says, easing herself off the couch. She gives Bram a flirty look. “Nice talking with you, Bram.”
“Always a pleasure,” he replies, his brogue extra thick. Extra hot. Damn, he needs to stop showing off his accent.
My mom gives me a quick hug, says bye to Ava and just as she’s out the door, she winks at me.
I totally pretend not to see it.
But once the door closes, it feels like I’m being locked in a tomb with Bram and suddenly I want my mother back because I am afraid like nothing else at what could happen tonight.
Because he’s here. He’s sitting on my couch – my new couch – and he’s staring at me so intently that my bones feel like melting away. That look can only mean one thing.
“Mommy,” Ava says, snapping me back to attention. “Can I stay up with you guys and watch Dora?”
“No, sweetie,” I quickly tell her, grateful for the opportunity. “You have to go to bed now. How about you go brush your teeth. Did your grandma use the spindle and give you the ouchie?”
She nods and then runs off to the bathroom.
“You know what’s going to be nice?” I say to Bram. “Her starting kindergarten in the fall. She’ll be so tuckered out, there’s no way she can stay up late.”
“That will be nice,” he says. “And easier on you, especially if you start working days. You think you’ll still be with the Lion?”
I shrug, glad that we’re talking about other things and ignoring the throbbing elephant in the room. “I’m just taking each day as it comes, to be honest. But yeah, I guess I should keep looking shouldn’t I?”
He purses his lips and drums his fingers along the back of the couch. “Since bartending wasn’t your career choice, you can always start incorporating your dream job back in. You know. Your passion.”
I nod. “I’ll try.” Actually one of things I’ve been wanting to do lately is start sewing again like I used to do as a teenager, but I’ll have to save enough money to get a sewing machine. It’s funny how much I feel like a teen again with Bram around. I want to sew, I want to listen to 90’s trip hop, I want to just let my hair down and be a bit wild and free.
For the first time in a long time, I wouldn’t mind losing my heart. Just as long as I can get it back. When you’re a teenager and you fall in love, you think you’ll never move on once it’s been lost. But you always gain it back, you always fall for someone else. No boy holds it for too long. Your young heart is a wild, elastic thing. Now, I fear that age and time and experience stretches it too hard, too far, and it will never snap back.
But why am I even thinking about love. My mind should be in the gutter, if anything.
“Do you hate the couch?” Bram asks as I go into the kitchen to put on some decaf.
“Not at all!” I tell him. I shoot him a sheepish glance over my shoulder. “Sorry, I’m just surprised. Like, really.”
I look back at the coffee grounds I’m trying to measure and I can hear him get off the couch. I can feel him come toward me. The man carries his own force field and maybe it’s just my hormones or my deprived imagination, but I swear I can feel every hair on my body standing to attention as he approaches.
“It’s a really nice couch,” I say meekly, talking for the sake of talking. Oh man, when I get nervous, I can talk anyone’s ear off. “I think we saw it in IKEA, right? I guess you could have returned the yellow couch earlier.”
“Aye,” he says and now his voice is like a growl. He stops right behind me and I can feel his breath on my neck. “I could have. But I wanted your approval. I told the half-way house that you may change your mind, so they’re holding it somewhere.”
I swallow. “Okay. Um, well, no. It’s for a good cause as you said and I guess we can return to the store tomorrow or some other day for the rest and…”
I trail off because his lips are on the bare spot between my neck and my shoulder and his kiss, so soft, so slow, is literally stealing my breath and my thoughts. I am pure silk in his hands and I have to brace myself on the counter so that I don’t slither to the ground.
But he has me too. He places those warm, large hands around my waist, making me feel so impossibly dainty and one hundred percent his. I lean back into him and he presses his pelvis against my ass. I can already feel the hard contours of his erection, straining for me.
“Mommy,” I hear Ava call from the bathroom. Kid has the worst timing I swear.
I raise my shoulder, trying to shrug Bram off. “I don’t want her to get the wrong idea,” I tell him.
He takes his lips and hands away and I can feel his eyes on the back of my head. He clears his throat. “There is no wrong idea, Nicola. There’s only a right one.”
I twist around to face him but he’s already halfway across the room and going for the door.
Shit. Did I scare him off that easily? The expression on his face is tense and I wonder if I somehow offended him.
“Good night,” he says and just like that he’s gone.
Holy moly. I stare at the closed door a few seconds until Ava runs over to me. “Mommy, can I have toothpaste that tastes like bubblegum? I saw it on the TV.”
I absently ruffle her hair. “When you finish this tube you can.”
I’d never seen Bram so moody before though it doesn’t surprise me. Beneath that easy-going exterior, sometimes I can see the darkness in his eyes, hinting at something underneath. We all have that in us.
Later on, after I put Ava to bed, I find that I can’t sleep. I toss and turn, staring up at the ceiling, pulling the duvet over me as the chill from the Bay wafts into my room. I masturbate soundlessly, getting off to Bram everything – Bram on me, inside me, around me – but that doesn’t help at all. It just makes things worse because I’m so aware of how there’s no substitute for the real thing.
Finally, I get up and go into the living room. I sink into the couch and I’m suddenly so grateful for it. Not only is it stylish, but it’s functional without being too overwhelming – meaning, now my guests (aka my mom) have a proper place to sleep when they stay over. And the dark grey color, it kind of reminds me of Bram’s eyes. Especially when they get all dark, like they did earlier, like storm clouds rolling in.
I’m about to flip on the TV and maybe watch something stupid just to take my mind off things when I look at my phone. It’s just after midnight.
Would Bram be awake right now? It might be crazy, but I feel like going next door. Just to see if he’s up. Just to see…
But I don’t want to wake him if he’s not, especially since he left so abruptly. After all he’s done for me, I don’t want to get on his nerves. Well, maybe just a little bit, but only because it’s so fun.
Maybe I’m finally understanding why he likes to bug me so much.
I sigh, staring at my phone. That kiss, such a simple kiss on my neck and I just wanted to give myself over to him, his forever to have. It surprised me how eager and willing I was to just let him have me, with no regard for my heart or for our relationship or for anything. And I know, I know, I should be using my head above all else. It’s kept me safe over the years.
But I just want to pretend that everything will be all right. That giving myself to Bram will answer all my prayers, even if just for a night.
I pick up the phone and text him. Are you awake?
I wait, staring at it in my hands that are trembling slightly, wishing I could take it back. I wait and there’s no response. He’ll probably get it in the morning when he wakes up and I’ll have to come up with some sort of excuse as to why I texted him.
Then I hear his door closing out in the hall and there’s a quiet knock at mine.
I freeze, my hand to my chest and stare at it for a moment, knowing that if I open it, everything could change.
“Nicola,” I hear his throaty voice whisper.
I get up and go to it, opening it a crack. He’s standing in the hall in just a pair of thin, black pajama pants. Very thin. I can’t help but stare at his crotch for a moment.
“Hi,” I tell him softly, tearing my eyes away, my pulse starting to awaken with lust. “Did I wake you up?”
“I’ve been awake for a long time,” he says, his hand resting on the doorframe.
“What have you been doing?”
A heavy pause settles between us.
He licks his lips. “Thinking about you.”
Before I can say anything to that, his eyes burn with urgent need and he bursts into the apartment like a man who sees what he wants and will do anything to get it.
And what he wants is me.
CHAPTER THIRTEEN
Bram
I couldn’t wait a second longer. What little patience I had left for Nicola had snapped and I let loose like a rubber band that’s been stretched to the end.
I grab her face, that fucking perfect, sweet face and kiss her more wildly, more violent and desperate than I’ve ever felt before. Her mouth feels like silk as my tongue thrusts inside, wanting to claim every wet inch and her skin feels like heaven, clouds, that beckon you to grab and squeeze and make yours.
A small whimper escapes her lips and into my mouth and her hands are on my bare chest, trying to push me back but I can’t wait. While I’m still kissing her, I reach back and quickly close the door behind me, silently, aware that Ava is asleep. I have no intentions of waking her up, of having any interruptions. I’m going to get deep inside Nicola tonight and fuck her so raw, so hard, until she has no choice but to see the animals we are.
I grab her roughly and with a grunt, flip her over my shoulder, like a caveman would, like a hunter would bring home a meal, and take her into the bedroom where I throw her on the bed. She bounces on it and I shut the door behind us, making sure it locks, then take the condom foil out of my pocket and toss it on the bed before sliding off my pants.
She’s breathless and wide-eyed as she stares at my naked, massive erection for the first time. It’s just the reaction I want. Actually, she’s looking a wee bit intimidated but that’s not so bad for the ego either.
“There’s no time for foreplay,” I warn her gruffly as I get on the bed and crawl toward her, my thick shaft bobbing between us. “But I’ll get you wet all the same.” I put my hand on her shoulders and push her down onto the bed while I settle over top of her, my hands on both sides of her face. I run my thumb over her lips, pushing it in until I get between her teeth.
“It wasn’t just tonight that thoughts of you have kept me up,” I tell her, wanting to know how badly she’s gotten under my skin. “It’s every night. It’s all the time.” I remove my thumb and press my body down on top of her, so she can feel how hard, long and ready I am. Her eyes widen but they aren’t afraid. It’s like her body has been ready for this and her mind is struggling to catch up.
She’s eager, even though she doesn’t know what will happen next.
I reach over for the condom packet and slide it on, my heart pounding loudly, and spread her legs apart with my knee. The scent of her already drifts up and I breathe it in deeply, sweet and musky, more addicting than any perfume.
Quickly, before I lose it, my body hair-trigger sensitive, I sit back on my heels and rip open a condom, sheathing the thin latex over my length. I watch Nicola’s face, her eyes taking me all in and I remind myself that even when I’m turning down an extra beer and sweating for hours at the gym, this moment is all worth it. I take the best damn care of my body and she can’t seem to take her eyes off of me.
Once it’s on, I shake a drop of sweat from my brow – Christ, I’m burning up in here, my skin feeling like the sun – and lower myself down on her, keeping all my weight on one arm as my free hand slinks between her waiting legs.
“Just making sure you’re ready for me,” I murmur to her, my lips and teeth finding the soft, delicate lobe of her ear and tugging on it just so. I bring my hand up to her pussy and grin against her cheek. Not only does she feel just as plump and silky as before, now she’s positively drenched. Fuck, I should ditch my plans and just lap up every last decadent drop but then I know I’d be blowing my load in the first minute. There’s nothing so primitively sexy, so fucking raw, than eating a woman out, licking up every ounce of what makes her her. When you combine that with the pleasure you’re giving her, I dare any real man not want to lose control. Turning her on turns me on.
“You’re so fucking wet,” I tell her as I push two fingers inside her tight little hole. The way she squeezes around them, holding me, makes my eyes momentarily roll back in my head. Fuck, and that’s just my fingers.
Her breath hitches and she arches back, her round, pale breasts heaving upwards. I run my tongue over her nipples, hard pebbles that respond to my every touch, and she groans loudly. I push my fingers in further and the groan deepens. She’s like a fucking smorgasbord, a buffet, a feast, and I have no idea where to start but every single item is bound to be delicious.
I can’t take much more. I make a fist around my rigid shaft and position it at her entrance. Her eyes flutter from being closed to being open wide as I slowly rub my swollen head up and down her shiny cleft. It feels too incredible.
“Oh God,” she says breathlessly. “Just get inside me already.”
“Impatient,” I comment. “I like that.”
She pauses for a moment. “Just…it’s been a long time. I may have been revirginized.”
The stupid smile on my face spreads even wider. “You say all the right things. I’ll go slow.”
And even though going slow is the last thing I want – fuck, every nerve in my body is ready to slam right into her hot depths and ram her until she’s up against the headboard – I do it anyway. I slowly start to make my way inside her.
No, it’s more like force my way inside her because she’s that damn tight, like a wet little vice that grips every heavy millimetre of my cock.
“Shit,” I growl, looking down to see myself as I push into her. My head has disappeared into that sweet pink dream. So slippery, so surreal. “This is a test of my will,” I tell her.
“Easy,” she says through a shaking exhale. She lies back and I wait until she relaxes a bit more before I ease in further. She’s so hot and wet as I slowly work my way inside that I begin to shake. I pause, for myself this time, and take in a deep, ragged breath.
“Am I hurting you?” she asks quietly.
“Sweetheart,” I say, my voice low and throaty. “You’re only hurting my resolve.”
She smiles at that and relaxes more but it’s not enough.
“Open yourself,” I tell her. “I’m only halfway there. I want you to take all of me.”
She blinks. “Shit, I thought I was.”
I shake my head, more droplets of sweat falling off and landing on her breasts.
She takes in a deep breath but I know how to speed up the process. I place my thumb on her clit and rub it around, her juices spreading. I work at her until I feel her widen and then I push in further. She gasps but she puts her hands at my ass and presses her fingers in, controlling my speed. But she’s still pulling me forward.
I’m holding my breath, forgetting to exhale, so wrapped up in this dizzying plunge, feeling like some conqueror taking over a new land. She spreads out beneath me, so soft and lush, like paradise and she lifts her knees higher, opening herself wider, and finally I’m in all the way, my balls pressing up against her and I feel this close to blacking out. She gasps but grips me with tight, blistering fury.
I groan loudly, unable to keep quiet. For all of my reputation as a lady’s man, I know I won’t be able to make a good impression this first time. The need in me is too sharp, too hard, too much. I slide out slowly and watch my thick shaft shiny with everything she has then plunge back in. My whole body shudders.
But even if I’m going to come soon, and fuck it’s going to be amazing, I’m not doing so without her. I steady myself and with force I grab her thighs and yank her up and to me, holding on tight with one hand, my fingers digging into her soft flesh, while my other hand goes for her clit again.
She moans, loud, and then has the strength to place a pillow over her face to muffle the cries. I have to admit, it’s hot when she watches my dick slide in and out of her but it’s also hot when she can’t see anything at all.
“Don’t hold back, babe,” I whisper, breath ragged and deep. “I’m not. Not this time. I can’t.”
My hips roll back and forth and I plunge in and out, from tip to the last thick inch of my cock. My rhythm becomes faster and faster and I know I can’t keep my cum at bay for much longer. Her pussy is so tight, so eager, I feel like I’m on fucking drugs, like I’m sticking my dick into some sexual trip I may never sober up from.
I work my fingers into a frenzy and her muffled moans get louder and louder while I slam into her harder and harder. Her back is arched, nipples pink peaks, and I know she’s close.
“Fuck!” she cries out. “Oh, Jesus.”
Because I’m starting to pound into her so hard, shaking the bed, shaking her breasts, I can’t tell if she’s spasming or not, but then I feel her clench around me, off and on, and I know she’s there, lost in the spiral.
I take in a deep breath and let out a low, guttural cry as my coiled muscles let loose and the orgasm rips down my spine, shooting out through every nerve ending. I’m fucking her so hard I think I’m going to push her bed right through the wall, right into my apartment and then I’m white-hot, wild, undone.
I come hard, blasting my load so fast and powerful I fear I might just tear a hole in the condom. I’m shuddering so hard that the bed is still shaking, even though the pumping of my hips has slowed. Through my blissful, electric haze, I can still hear Nicola moaning into the pillow, gasping and making nonsensical noises. I may be doing the same, it’s hard to tell when you have no control over your body, no real awareness of what’s going on except you’re a million miles above the fucking planet and you have no idea when you’re coming down.
When my arms start to tremble, I slowly lower myself so I’m on top of her, the wet slick of my sweaty chest pressing against hers. It’s so animalistic, that feeling, like we’re operating on a level of instinct and desire, eons before the mind comes in. It’s silly to say we’re on a soul-to-soul level, but it’s not far off.
“Sorry,” I say as I take the pillow off of her face. “I couldn’t hold back. You’re fucking kryptonite.”
She stares at me, her face completely flushed pink and glowing, her eyes heavy, like she’s in a dream. She’s never looked more beautiful. I want her like this all the fucking time.
“I can’t even…” she says, her voice airy and she smiles.
“Next time, it will be different,” I tell her, smoothing her damp hair away from her face. She’s got wild, mad bedhead and just adds to this crazed goddess look she has going on.
She shakes her head once. “Good Lord, I hope not. That was…that was…there are no words.”
“Oh, it will be just as amazing,” I assure her, kissing her lightly on the lips. She tastes like salt. I breathe in deeply and the smell of our sex, both musty and new, almost makes me hard again. If it wasn’t for the fact that I have to pull out and remove the condom, I don’t think I’d ever have to come out.
But I do. It’s only polite.
I move back a bit and pull out, gripping the condom to make sure it doesn’t spill all over her. I get up and head to the en-suite washroom, making sure I’m all cleaned up before coming back to bed.
