“Yeah?” Her chest rose and fell, and she seemed a bit shaken, but I knew she had to sense the urgency in my voice.
“When my family died, I got really bad off. I stopped talking to anyone and basically shut down. I didn’t even go the gym-”
“Or a barber.” She held up her finger to interject.
“Or a barber, very funny, but yeah. My point is, I haven’t been able to open up to anyone, and not just about my family or any of those issues, but I mean, it was hard to be myself. I stopped eating right, exercising, started drinking, and lots of other things you don’t need to know about.
“But the point I’m making is, I haven’t felt like myself or been right for some time until you came along. I can talk to you. You make me want to get up and do things and face the world. Head on if I have to.” She cringed a bit and then looked away, whi
ch gave me a sinking feeling in my gut. “I really like you, Lexa, and I hope you feel the same.”
“I do.” She leaned in and kissed me as if to show me how much she wanted to prove it. And then, before I could get another answer from her, she deepened the kiss and inched closer.
I had expected that she’d be willing, but her eagerness was a bit surprising and refreshing. Even so, I pulled away. I wanted to talk about us without falling into sex and forgetting to communicate. “I’m glad you want more. I feel like we need to talk about that.”
She nodded, but took off her top. The bright blue silk slithered down her leg and to the floor where it looked like a puddle, and I couldn’t keep my eyes from checking out her ample breasts, swelling up over each cup until she reached back and popped her bra clasp.
“I think we’re great together, Lexa.”
She got a pained look on her face, but then seemed to fight it off as she cupped the back of my head and pulled me back for a deeper kiss, which ended with her straddling my lap and pulling her straps off her shoulders. The blue bra slipped off as easy as the blouse had and ended up landing on top of it.
“We are amazing together, Aiden. I don’t want it to end, either. I hope you always remember that and this moment and know how much you mean to me. No matter what.” Her mouth closed on mine again. Something about her seemed so desperate, as if she was trying to hold onto me. As if I was going anywhere. Not a chance.
“I’m not going anywhere, and I won’t forget it. Ever.” I ground myself against her core, and she slipped up her skirt showing me her panties, which matched the teal blue bra and blouse at my feet.
I gripped her hip and tugged her closer, trailing my hand down to cup her ass. My fingers trailed along the elastic of her panties until I found my way inside them. I loved her in her panties, and I decided right then I was going to fuck her around them.
She reached for my cock, placing her slender hands inside my zipper and stroking me through my boxer briefs.
“You want it?” I whispered the words into her ear. She shuddered, her skin prickling with goosebumps as she ground her warm, wet channel against my hand.
“Yes.” Her answer was but a breath in my ear, and I nudged her up, still working her core as she took off my shirt. I stood and slipped my hand free so I could tug down my pants until I was standing there naked.
“God, Lexa. You are the perfect woman for me.” I couldn’t help but think of how much she’d pulled me out of my head and made me feel alive again.
“Promise me you’ll always remember that.” There she was, talking as if she wasn’t going to be around much longer.
“I will, but you’re not going anywhere, Lexa. I’m not letting you get away from me. I want you, and I have always had a way of having exactly what I want and taking it the way I’m going to take you.” Her eyes were so focused on mine that I never saw her blink as she nodded.
“Please.” Her eyes softened, and I decided that her stress was just her longing, and I was more than willing to make the rest of the world go away for her until there was nothing but the two of us left in it.
“You’re a good girl already, Lexa, taking care of me how you do.” I eased back on the bed, pulling her on top of me. She lay close, stretched out above me and resting her weight on me. She was as light as a feather, and it made me want to pick her up and put her right on my cock. It seemed as though she was listening, too.
A second later, she rose up and straddled my hips, sandwiching my cock between her already soaked lips. She rocked up and down, spreading her nectar all over my shaft and making me want to come before I’d even gotten inside her. And, she liked the teasing, too. She leaned in and dragged her tongue against my tight nipples, biting and tugging as if they couldn’t possibly be as sensitive as her own.
The sensation went right to my cock, causing it to twitch against her, and she let out a little giggle. “I felt that. I want to feel it inside me.” She reached down and closed her hand around my cock to pump it a few times. It felt amazing, especially when she added a bit more pressure and cupped my balls.
I hissed through my teeth and urged her ass up enough to stand my cock against her entrance. Then I gripped her waist and tugged her down, slicing through her sex with my throbbing length.
I would make sure she never wanted to leave me. That night, she’d become mine.
Chapter Twenty-Four
Lexa
His cock slid home and spread me with such intense heat, it was like a knife slicing through me — only the pain was pleasure and I wanted more. There was something different about him that night, something that could only be described as determination, like he couldn’t hold me close enough or kiss me hard enough, something that made me need to be a part of him as if I could bury down in his soul and live there.
I had been so scared that he’d learned something about me that I didn’t think things could be worse, but as his intensity grew, as he became more fevered, more determined, I couldn’t help but fear that he wanted me as much as I wanted him. Maybe even more, if that were even possible.
