on the sensitive, swollen tip, which hardened even more from the cool air. He repeated this process on the other side, alternating between her breasts until Farrah squirmed with need.
“Blake, please,” she begged.
“Please what?” He eased her shorts and underwear down her legs and slid a finger between her slick folds. He groaned. “Jesus, you’re dripping.”
She was. Farrah had never been more turned on in her life. Her thighs were slick with her juices; her sex clenched as if she needed something—someone—buried deep inside her.
“Please. I need you.” Her whimper turned into a moan when Blake rubbed his thumb over her clit. Her hips bucked, seeking relief.
“You have me.” Blake replaced his hand with his mouth.
Farrah’s head fell back. Every scrape of his tongue against her sensitive flesh caused a bolt of sensation to sizzle through her. It was enough to turn her body into one giant nerve ending, raw and pulsing with need; it wasn’t enough to quiet the voices. They whispered in her mind, raising doubts about her body, about whether Blake enjoyed what he was doing or if he was doing it because he thought he had to. About why she teetered on the edge but couldn’t bring herself to step over.
She clutched the sheets so hard her knuckles turned white. She didn’t have this issue when she was alone. Farrah could bring herself to orgasm every time, so she knew it was possible. It just wasn’t possible with a guy.
Maybe it’ll be different with Blake. She felt more connected to him than with any guy in her past, and Lord knew he was talented. The things he was doing with his mouth…
Farrah cried out when he sucked on her clit and flicked his tongue over the most sensitive spot on her bundle of nerves.
It. Was. Incredible. But it wasn’t enough.
She tried to will her body past the finish line. It shouldn’t be hard. She was so aroused she might explode, except she didn’t. She remained on the razor’s edge, held back by some force that didn’t want her to fall. Her body craved relief, yet wouldn’t give it to her.
It was the world’s cruelest joke.
Goddammit.
Tears of frustration leaked from the corners of her eyes. A sob escaped her throat.
Blake stopped. The bed shifted as he moved up to face her. “Are you ok? Did I hurt you?” He sounded panicked.
Farrah shook her head. She kept her eyes closed, too mortified to look at him. Not only couldn’t she come, she was crying (and not from joy) in the middle of what was otherwise incredible oral sex. What was wrong with her?
“Farrah, look at me. Tell me what’s wrong.”
She opened her eyes reluctantly. Concern etched Blake’s features, and his brows drew together into a deep V.
“Nothing’s wrong,” she hiccupped. She swiped her tears away. “I’m sorry. This is so embarrassing.”
The mood was ruined. There was no use denying it.
“Don’t be sorry.” Blake lay next to her and wrapped her in his arms. “Shh. It’s ok.”
“It’s not you. It’s really not. I just—” Farrah sniffled. “I can’t, you know.”
He looked puzzled. “You can’t what?”
“I can’t…come.” She whispered the last word.
A pause, then Blake laughed. “Is that what you’re worried about? Farrah, I know it takes girls longer. It’s ok, we can—”
“No, I can’t come, period.” She kept her gaze lowered, afraid of his reaction. “I mean, I can by myself, but I’ve never been able to orgasm with a guy. Ever.”
This time the pause was more prolonged. “Well, you haven’t met anyone as talented as I am,” Blake joked in an obvious attempt to lighten the mood.
Farrah managed a watery smile. “True.” The tears slowed, thank god. “Maybe it’s just oral. If we had sex, it might be different,” she said hopefully.
You hit different spots during intercourse, right? That could be it.
“We are not having sex like it’s a science experiment,” Blake said. “Not yet. Though I would love to see you in a lab coat getup one day.”
This time he got a weak laugh out of her.
“You know that saying: try, try again. We’ll keep trying till we get there. Once we do, we’ll move to the next base.”
Farrah frowned. Great. She was going to be a virgin for the rest of her life.
“Look on the bright side.” Blake kissed her forehead. “You’ll have me, Blake Ryan, at your full disposal. I’m basically your willing sex slave. No other girl can say that.”
“They better not.” Farrah bit her lip. “What if it’s me? What if there’s something
