And then everything in me went limp and taut at once as my orgasm exploded around me like a supernova, pulling me into a delicious black hole as nothing but pure ache and pleasure filled every cell of my body—and it just kept on coming as Carter rocked wave after wave of pleasure from me, holding me hostage up in the heavens until the sensation was so intense, I actually blacked out.
Trembling and twitching, I felt myself finally float back downto earth.
I shuddered as Carter slowly pulled the toy out of me, the sound wet as fuck. I felt like a broken rag doll, my throat raw as if I’d been screaming, like time and space didn’t exist as pure exhaustion and satisfaction ebbed and flowed in unison with my every breath.
Carter’s hands were warm and steady as he hooked an arm under my hips and slid the pillows out, laying me flat on the bed. It was only then that I realized my heels were still on, when his steady fingers unclasped the straps and he slid them off my feet.
A moment later, he was pushing my hair away from my face, pulling the cat ear headband off, and then his hand was broad and strong as he rubbed long soothing strokes down my back while the aftershocks continued to twitch through me.
With the greatest effort I’d ever exerted, I blinked my eyes open and found him lying next to me, elbow propping his head up as he just gazed at me, with a look I couldn’t decipher.
I suddenly felt wildly shy and looked down with a quiet puff of air that wasn’t quite a nervous laugh.
Carter only hummed, the sound all too cocky and amused as he lifted just the sheet over my naked body. As if he knew I was suddenly self-conscious, even though I had just bared it all.
I tucked my arms under myself, folding my hands under my chin, and we just laid there staring into each other’s eyes for a long while.
Carter’s expression broke into a small smile and he whispered. “I win.The dare—just so that’s on record.”
I weakly huffed a soft laugh in response.
“Aww, look at you, all tuckered out.” He teased and then all too cockily, “I wonder if you can remember your name now?Hmm?” All I could do was grunt a little noise that made him grin and whisper, “Told you.”
I shook my head. “You didn’t even use the vibration.”
“Didn’t need to.” He breathed a laugh. “Something to look forward to next time.”
“Can’t wait.” I murmured, and his gaze fell to my mouthbefore he dragged me on top of him and tenderly took my face, giving me a soft, slow kiss that was quiet and intimate, and in complete contrast to the way he had just destroyed me.
His hand slid around the nape of my neck, his other at my hip, pulling me closer as I threaded a leg over his, no doubt ruining his suit pants with what was dripping between my legs. “I don’t think I’ll ever get over this,” he murmured, “but I want us to slow things down a bit.”
“No,” I grumbled between kisses, and he chuckled. I was not about to give up the best orgasms I’d ever had in my life. I was hungry formore.
“Consider this a prequel for what’s to come.” He nibbled on my lower lip with a playful snarl. “It would’ve been practically criminal for you to go another day, thinking there was something wrong with you, and I can’t wait to show you again and again how right my theory is, but I want to slow things down a bit. Take some time to figure this out.”
“You sure about that?” I slid my hand down his stomach, finding a hard, gratifying length that I palmed over his pants.
His face looked pained. “Sara, I—We—” The words were an ache, and I loved that he responded to my touch like that, but as I went for the button at the top of his slacks, his fingers circled around my wrists, stopping me.
“I want to do something for you.” I whispered earnestly. I was exhausted and knew I wouldn’t be able to match his skill, but I was certainly willing to try.
“There’s no way in hell I’m letting you put your hands or your mouth on me before I’ve even had a chance to taste you.” He said, eyes wild. “And besides, we agreed. Dildo only, tonight.”
I swallowed hard. “I want you to feel good too.”
“That was just as good for me as it was for you.” He brought my hands up to his chest. “Honestly, probably better.” I raised a skeptical brow, but he doubled down, clearing his throat. “I’m serious, I may or may not havealreadyblown a load—watchingyou slide over that fucking thing, hearing you beg like that, forme.” He confessed, eyes growing glazed.
I bit my lip, absolutely loving that he came just from looking at me. “How is that even possible?” I puzzled, not totally sure if I believed him.
“I think you’re seriously underestimating how goddamn sexy you are.” He murmured, “You have no idea how attracted to you I am. None.” And then he clarified, “And about last night, I wanted to, trust me, I wanted tosobad, but just so we’re clear—I willneverput you in a position where you can’t give your full consent.Ever.”
I swallowed hard, knowing I’d needed to hear that.For so many reasons.
“Carter,” I pleaded, feeling even more desperate to get my hands on him as I realized he was already hard again. I was dying to make sure he knew this wasn’t a one-way street.
He wrapped his arms around me, crushing me to him so I couldn’t reach him. “I don’t want to move too fast. I’ve?—”
“What?” I murmured, cheeks squished against his broad chest.
