Drowning in Love - Kelsie Rae Page 0,38

now, I’m just along for the ride.

Her palm is warm as she finally gains the courage to dive under my shirt and feel my heated skin. Slowly, she trails her manicured nails up my abs before scraping them along my chest. Her mouth hovers less than an inch above mine, but her shallow breathing fans across my face, tempting me even further. My restraint is barely intact as my fingers dig into her thighs again. Sliding them up a few more inches, I cup her toned ass and realize she isn’t wearing any sleep shorts.

“Are you in your underwear?” I grit out.

Her mouth quirks in the corner. “Is that a problem?”

“Tell me I can kiss you.”

The heat from her gaze burns me as it drops down to my mouth. “You can––”

My lips are on hers before she can finish her sentence, but I can’t take any more of this torture. I need to taste her. Feel her. Connect with her the only way I know how.

Wrapping my arm around her slender waist, I flip Nora onto her back then cage her in with my biceps before getting lost in her kiss. The room gets darker as the minutes tick by, then her underwear is ripped off, and I follow them with my board shorts.

With a moan, she throws her head back and squirms beneath me, her desperation as palpable as my own. When her shirt rides up a few more inches, I take advantage and tease her with my fingers until she’s sopping wet.

“Stop torturing me,” she begs. “We can do all the other stuff later. Right now, I need you inside me. Please.”

My amusement sparks. “All that other stuff?”

“You know what I mean!” she argues, her skin becoming more flushed as I stare down at her.

Damn, she’s adorable.

Diving back in, I lick the column of her throat, then bite the sensitive skin while lining myself up with her entrance. She’s right. We’ve been torturing ourselves long enough.

“Only because you asked nicely,” I tease her.

Nora’s back arches as she spreads her legs a little wider in anticipation. Then I press into her and let out a groan when I realize I’ve died and gone to Heaven.

“Shiiit,” she whimpers with her eyes squeezed shut.

Chuckling, I look back down at her. “Good shit? Or bad shit?”

She rolls her hips beneath me, then opens her eyes. “Get moving, Gage, or so help me––”

My deep thrust cuts her off, turning her order into a gasp as I bury my head back into her neck and breathe her in. Her nails digging into my back, I pick up my pace and begin to push into her harder, making sure to hit the perfect spot that pulls the longest moans from Nora’s sexy lips.

Like a wave, we let the moment build before crashing over the edge together. It’s unlike anything I’ve ever felt as we catch our breaths in the otherwise silent room. There’s been a shift in the air. I’m not sure what it is or how we caused it, but I know I’m not the only one who feels it. The girl beneath me turns from melted muscles to a stiff board. I steal another taste of her bare shoulder. Her skin is dewy sweet, and I commit the taste to memory, unsure if she’ll ever let me this close to her again.

“That…that was….” Nora swallows but doesn’t say anything else as I watch a single tear slip out of the corner of her eye before gliding past her temple and landing in her tangled hair.

Cupping the side of her face, I run my forefinger against the glistening trail that’s left and press my mouth to hers. This kiss is lazier and more intimate somehow. When I pull away, I don’t say anything. I simply hold her close and pray she can feel the same connection I do whenever we’re together.

“What time is it?” she chokes out.

“I don’t know. Why?”

“It’s super dark.” Eyes widening, she shoots up out of bed. “Shit! Did we miss the eclipse?”

Confused, I try to process her anger before searching for my cell to check the time. The screen is bright in the dark room, and I squint my eyes as I register that we missed it.

“We’re ten minutes late,” I inform her.

Covering her mouth, she collapses back onto the mattress. “So, we were too busy having sex to witness it.”

“Uh…yeah? I guess.”

She’s about to cry again. I can see it. I can feel it.

Not sure what to do, and
