mouth, where her lips spread into a wide smile—“and over”—I moved to the other side, not wanting it to get jealous—“and over again.” I pressed my mouth to hers. The feel of her lips touching mine, the taste of her unique flavor, was so alarmingly arousing.
Then again.
I knew that.
I’d always known that.
“Okay.” Gabs nodded, and a shiver tore through her. “For now, the kissing is good.”
“Gabs . . .” I pulled back, regarding her with the most serious look I could muster. “The kissing needs to be great.”
“Oh.”
“Am I going to get fired?” I teased.
Gabi burst out laughing and then grabbed me by the back of my head, slamming our mouths together in such a hot kiss that I nearly blacked out.
Our lips teased and my tongue beckoned, sliding against hers, retreating, fighting for dominance, as I pressed my palm against her breast, my fingers splayed across her creamy flesh.
Moaning, she moved against me as I grazed my hand down her side, reaching between us, exploring, waiting for her body to respond to my exploration.
The minute my fingers brushed against her core, she stopped kissing me. I lifted my head, gazing into her eyes.
And continued slight pressure where I knew she needed it.
Her eyes locked on mine.
Watching my face as I pleasured her.
Making me desperate to join our bodies, to make this more than sex, more than a moment where shields were down and a white flag waved between us.
Her eyes snapped closed as she moved against me.
“That’s it,” I whispered along her neck, sweat beginning to make our bodies slide across each other. “Trust me.”
I’d never asked for her trust.
Gabi opened her eyes and whispered, “I do.” As she shattered right before my eyes, her body going taut before she slumped against my hand.
“That was . . .” I was jealous of every part of my body that got to experience her pleasure, jealous that I wasn’t inside her when it happened. “Beautiful.”
Eyes hazy, she brought my head down for a kiss. Her lips were tender. I pulled back and reached into the nightstand.
With wide eyes she watched me, and my freaking body responded like it was performing action stunts and deserved praise and adoration.
“You sure about this?” I murmured, tossing the wrapper onto the floor, praying she’d say no even as I longed for her to say yes.
Gabi reached for my hands. Our fingers linked together, and then I pinned them above her head, exposing her breasts to my mouth as I sank into her.
She arched off the bed.
“Relax.” My lips made their way up her smooth neck, licked across her lips, then suckled the bottom one as I started rocking my hips in a slow rhythm.
Gabi’s body went completely tense.
“Trust,” I urged, slowing down.
She nodded her head, then met my kiss with raw hunger as she started moving beneath me on her own.
My body wanted to join the party, but I knew she needed to get used to me . . . And if I moved with her, it was going to be over with before it even really started.
“It feels . . . different,” she said hoarsely, her hands clambering for my shoulders as she writhed beneath me. I watched, a smile spreading across my face as she used me without even really knowing it.
“You’re beautiful,” I said softly. “Just like this.”
She opened her eyes. “Full . . . I’m full.”
“Of me.” I couldn’t keep the pride out of my voice. “Now, are you ready?”
“Ready?” She frowned. “But . . . I thought that—”
“No mercy,” I growled against her neck, sinking deeper into her, so deep that my vision blurred with the feeling of it. Why had it never felt like this before?
I moved slowly as Gabs clutched my biceps, her fingers imprinting my muscle, leaving marks.
I quickened my pace as she clenched me harder. Sweat dripped from my temple and landed on her chest.
I looked down at the small bead of sweat as it rolled between her breasts. The joining of our bodies was the most perfect thing I’d ever witnessed.
She tensed beneath me.
“Gabi . . .” I thrust faster, whispering her name over and over again as she jerked my head down to hers and our teeth clicked against one another as we fought for one another’s kisses.
I swallowed her moan as her body tightened around me, and with one last thrust released four years’ worth of waiting. I was torn between feeling complete because I was finally with her
