panted out, and pushed against his fingers, allowing them to breach that entrance. “Oh God, Har-ley! Yes!”
He reclaimed her mouth, swallowing her erotic sounds, his senses reeling. Her body pulsed, hot and perfect, around his hard length. She broke their kiss and sank her teeth into his neck. Pure, explosive pleasure raced down his spine, and he lost all control, driving into her as he ground out her name, his climax tearing through him with the force of a hurricane. She clung to him, lifting off the mattress with his every thrust. Sounds of flesh against flesh and their cries of passion created a chorus of lust and greed and unspoken emotions. Their pleasure went on and on, carrying them up to the clouds.
When their muscles went slack, the room spun. Harley felt himself drifting, unaware of time, space, or anything other than the woman in his arms as their mouths came together, their slick bodies tangled like a braided plait. He’d never felt anything like this. He couldn’t even name the whirlwind of emotions coursing through him. Was he alone in them? He tried not to wonder as their breathing calmed, and he rolled them onto their sides, kissing her adoringly. He didn’t want to leave her to take care of the condom. What he felt was too big to deny. He was afraid those all-consuming emotions might scare her, and if he went into the bathroom she might not be there when he came out.
He pressed his lips to hers, and her eyes fluttered open. He tried to read her expression, but it was one he’d never seen before, and he was afraid to believe it meant what he thought it did. She sighed, snuggling into the curve of his body, and then she closed her eyes, burying her face in his chest.
“What was that?” she whispered, a little panicky.
“Mind-blowing sex?”
She shook her head. “No. I mean, yes, it was, but it was . . .” She looked up at him, her cheeks pink and her eyes wide. “I have no idea what that was. I’ve never felt anything like it.”
God he loved the panicked honesty she was sharing with him. She was probably terrified, but she was looking out over her own walls, and instead of scrambling back to safety, she was trying to understand what she saw.
He kissed her lips and said, “Don’t be scared, Pipe.”
“Too late. How can I not be terrified? You’ve done something to me with your magic blissmaker, and I don’t know what to make of it or how to handle it.”
He chuckled, stuck on magic blissmaker. “Just don’t freak out on me and disappear.”
“You think you know me,” she said sassily, reverting to her safe place.
“I wish I could say I didn’t.” That was a lie. What he really wished for was that she wanted this as much as he did.
“No you don’t,” she challenged. “You like knowing me better than any other man ever has. You get off on it, and don’t try to deny it.”
“Can’t get anything past you, can I?”
“Do you really want to?”
She was doling out one challenge after another. He rolled her beneath him and gazed down at her smiling face. “What I want to know is if I go into that bathroom, will you still be here when I get back?”
Hurt washed over her face. “You think I’d leave like that? After everything . . . Wait. Ohmygod. No wonder women lose their minds after sex. Does it feel like that all the time with you and other women?”
She wiggled, trying to get out of his arms, and he realized she truly had no clue how much this meant to him. How much she meant to him.
“Harley! Let me go. I just realized how much of a freak I a—”
He pressed his lips to hers, silencing her insecurities. At least verbally. He kissed her until she went soft beneath him again, and then he kissed her longer, hoping to buy himself a long enough period once they stopped kissing to explain what he’d meant before her brain started playing tricks on her again.
When their lips parted, he said, “If you call my girlfriend a freak again, I’ll have to spank you.”
“Stop,” she snapped. “I feel ridiculous and stupid for not realizing—”
“Whoa, slow down, Trig. It’s never been like this for me, either.” He stroked his fingers down her cheek as his words sank in and said, “I always knew we would be good together, but
