“Condom,” he said suddenly, swearing under his breath. “There’s a box—”
“You know I’m on the pill and I know where you’ve been. We don’t need it.” She didn’t want anything between them. Not tonight.
His breath came out in a shaky groan, his voice so low it barely registered. “Dani. Baby, are you sure?”
She dug her heels into his back and they both shuddered. “I told you what I wanted. No holding back. Give me everything.”
He kissed her forehead, her cheeks, and then his hand lowered to the scar at her side, eyes on her as he caressed the raised skin. “No holding back. It’s just you and me now. The way it’s always been.”
Liam stared at her soft smile for a long, drawn out moment, and then they were both gasping as he guided himself inside her for the first time.
Finally.
“Oh damn, Dani. Fuck, it’s so—”
“Big,” she finished for him, struggling to breathe through the painful stretch of his shaft. “Oh God, Liam.”
He moaned and tilted his head back, breathing deep. “Don’t fucking say that right now, Shortbread. I’m too close. Don’t talk about how big I am when I can still taste you on my tongue. When I’m feeling you all hot and wet around me with nothing between us. Fuck, can you take more?”
He pushed her knees to her shoulders, widening her thighs as he worked himself in, inch by thick inch. “I should have taken that yoga class Kaya signed me up for,” she grumbled, breathless.
His expression made her chuckle, which made him growl and pulse inside her. “When you laugh it gets even tighter,” he said through gritted teeth. “And you’re jiggling.”
“I thought you liked my jiggle.”
He answered with a forceful thrust that seated him fully inside her, and Dani cried out in pleasure.
“No,” he rasped, letting her get used to the size of him. “I love it. Look at how beautiful you are, stretched out on my cock, Dani.”
“The talking again,” she moaned. “You’re killing me.”
He started to move inside her, his jaw clenching. “I don’t think this first time is going to last that long, Shortbread, so I’ll make it up to you. Hours of dirty talk and foreplay later, I promise. But right now I need to fuck you hard enough to break this bed.”
She’d barely managed to gasp out a yes before he let go of his control and took. She could feel him everywhere. Each pounding drive shook the bed with his force and had her screaming his name.
Years of repressed need and hunger were driving them both. They couldn’t get close enough. Go deep enough. God, so deep.
The fast slap of their wet skin echoed in her ears along with the throbbing of her heart.
Love him. Love him so much.
“Don’t stop, Liam. Harder. Fuck me harder.”
“Jesus,” he swore, managing to flip her over without leaving her body. “Right down the hall every damn night. How did I ever resist this?”
He held her curls tight enough to arch her spine and then he was pumping harder, deeper than before. “Liam.”
He sucked her neck hard enough to leave a mark. “I love it when you say my name. You want it harder? You won’t be able to walk for a week. Not that I’d let you leave this bed long enough to try.”
She liked the sound of that too much. “Big talk, Cookie. That Texas-sized ego is showing again,” she panted.
He released her hip and covered her clit with two rough fingers. “You daring me, Shortbread? You think I can’t deliver?”
She knew he could. “More, Liam. I’m close.”
“Thank God,” he murmured against her shoulder. “So close. I’m so fucking close. Need you to come first, Dani.”
He hit something inside her that had her screaming again, and then both of them were racing toward the edge of the cliff, clinging to each other as they threw themselves into the abyss and started falling.
Like a burning star falling through the sky, she thought as light flashed behind her eyes, blue and bright and breathtaking.
He called her name, burying his face in her back, his body shaking. She reached back to run her fingers through his damp hair, turning to kiss him.
When they could control their limbs, he slid out of her slowly and lowered himself to her side. She went willingly into his arms, feeling blissfully relaxed for the first time in ages.
“Wow.”
“Wow again?” His shoulders shook. “We need a better descriptor at some point. Wow is way too vague.”
“Would you prefer hot damn or yeehaw?”
“Either could work in a pinch. Or you could just go into detail about how big I am again.”
“Wow.” Her sarcastic delivery had him reaching around to smack her ass.
His arms tightened around her and she felt a shimmer of unease. This moment was too perfect. She was suddenly terrified something was about to happen to ruin it.
