You're the Reason - J. Nathan Page 0,41

“You’ve clearly been kissed before. Why haven’t you had sex?”

“Why have you?”

He laughed as his eyes lifted to mine. “Because it feels good.”

My cheeks pulsed with heat. Why hadn’t I anticipated that response? “Well…I’m waiting for the guy who’ll make me feel good.”

“I’m right here.”

His words snagged my breath away—or maybe it was the honest way he said them. Because, I knew he meant what he said. And that scared the living hell out of me.

He inched closer to me and our lips met again. The kiss started out slow and meaningful, but something inside me took over, and I needed to be closer to him. Our tongues and teeth fought for control as my hips sought friction. Understanding what I needed, Chase shifted his hips and his erection pressed between my legs. The pressure of his cock and the fabric of my jeans rubbing against my clit was too much.

A raspy groan escaped me, making Chase roll his hips as he kissed me. I may have been a virgin, but it didn’t mean I’d never fooled around with a guy before and enjoyed it.

Eventually, Chase pulled back, his eyes riveting between mine. “Will you let me look at you tonight?”

My chest tightened, and a knot swelled in my throat, making it difficult to swallow. “Look at me?”

“I can’t get the sight of you on the beach out of my mind.”

I stifled a smile, loving that my plan to drive him wild had succeeded. I hadn’t been able to get the sight of him on the beach out of my own mind either.

He sat back and reached for the top of my jeans. He raised his brows in question.

I nodded as my heartbeat accelerated.

Chase focused carefully as he slipped the button through the slot. He slowly pulled down the zipper, watching each tooth come apart. He grabbed hold of the hem of my jeans and looked to me for consent. I lifted my ass and he pulled the jeans down my legs and off my feet. He drank me in, his eyes sweeping slowly up my legs to my lacy pink panties.

I couldn’t read the look in his eyes. Did he like what he saw or was he turned off that I didn’t wear something skimpier like Chantel did?

Instead of driving myself crazy with what he may be thinking, I pushed myself up on my elbows and peeled my shirt over my head, tossing it to the floor.

Chase’s eyes widened, taking in my matching pink pushup bra that gave me way more cleavage than I actually had. He swallowed hard. “Do you have any idea how beautiful you are?”

Tingles rushed up my arms, the hunger in his eyes and his words setting my body on fire.

He tried to lean forward to lay me back down, but I reached out and pressed my palm to his chest, stopping him. “What’s wrong?” he asked.

“Your shirt’s still on,” I said.

His lips lifted into a sexy smirk. He reached behind his head and pulled it off, dropping it to the floor next to mine.

My fingertips skated across the front of his shoulders, so smooth and defined. He watched my hands as they explored his body, following them with his eyes as they ventured slowly down his chest. My thumbs flicked over his nipples before circling them. Chase’s eyes drifted shut, reveling in the feel of my touch. My hands descended over his abs, tracing every deep ridge with the gentle touch of my fingertips. Holy hell he was so hot.

When he couldn’t take anymore, he opened his eyes and lowered himself on top of me. “You gonna let me kiss you, Soph?”

“Since when do you ask?”

He leaned down, bringing his mouth to my ear. “Since I wasn’t talking about your lips.”

I sucked in a sharp breath before I nodded, eager for what came next.

He inched his way down my body, slowly tunneling his lips between my breasts.

My heart was pounding so fast, I was fairly certain he could feel it ready to burst through my chest.

He continued down, pressing soft kisses to my bare stomach. When he reached the elastic of my panties, his mouth hovered over me—keeping it a mere breath away from the lacy material. I inhaled sharply, holding in my breath as I waited for his lips to touch me, but only his warm breath moved over me.

I’d never wanted a guy’s mouth between my thighs more than I did his in that moment.

But he didn’t stop there.

I released my breath,
