“She’ll be hurt,” Laura says, and for a second, my heart hurts in a new way. It’s been hurting since Ally’s accident, then she broke up with me and it hurt even worse. This pain is different. It’s a hurt which promises to heal all that’s wrong.

I take her chin in my hand, gently pulling her to me. “She’ll be gone.”

Her lips touch mine and I am gone. I’ve wanted to do this for so many years and it seems she has to. Without letting our lips part, I stand and pick her up, turning around. I lay her on the bed.

I press my tongue to her lips and she parts them for me. She tastes like strawberries and suddenly I crave them. Our tongues dance together as my heartbeats increase.

Why does this feel so right?

I pull my mouth from hers and she opens her eyes. They’re wide with what looks like fear. She probably thinks I feel guilty and want to stop, but she’s wrong.

“Tell me you want this, Laura. Tell me you’ll be mine.”

Her breaths are ragged and her voice is quiet. “Is that what you really want, Kyle?”

Is it? I think it is, but how can I be sure? Am I using her as a rebound?

Without knowing for sure, I answer, “It is. Say you’ll be mine, Laura.”

Her brows furrow with worry and she bites at her bottom lip. I kiss her again to make her decide. As I plunge my tongue into her mouth again, I pull out the rubber band holding her hair in a ponytail.

I groan as I run my hand through her long, silky hair. It smells like flowers, so different from Ally’s.

The thought of Ally makes me stop my kiss. I look down at Laura and have to consider her feelings.

Am I only doing this to hurt Ally?

Laura’s eyes are soft and a smile forms on her pink lips as she says, “I’ll be yours, Kyle.”

My heart stops beating. She’ll be mine, but can I truly be hers with Ally still so much in my head and my heart?

Her hands tangle in my hair and pull me back to her. This time she kisses me. Her tongue darts into my mouth. Something about how she’s kissing me, like she’s letting herself go, makes me want her more than I have.

How far will she let me go?

My hand creeps slowly to her breast and cups it. She puts her hand over mine and moves it with mine, showing me how she likes to be touched. It spurs me on to try more.

I sit up, straddling her, and smile down at her as I lift my T-shirt over my head. Her shirt has buttons, so I unbutton them slowly as I watch her to be sure she wants this. The look of pure lust on her face tells me she does.

I know she’s not a virgin, but I am, and she knows it. Her hands run over my abs. They’re pretty decent, if I do say so myself. As are her breasts, which I’d like to see bare.

I lean down and reach behind her to unfasten her bra To my surprise, she lets me. I pull it off, revealing a pair of large, pert breasts any man would be proud to touch.

“May I?” I ask before I devour them.

“Please do.”

I pull one of the erect nipples into my mouth as I cup the other one with my hand. Never having gotten this far before, my erection is at full attention. I don’t know how I’ll be able to stop, but she seems like she’s fine with that, so I forge ahead.

Her hands flow over my back, which now has a thin sheen of sweat covering it. Her breasts are so perfect, I can’t believe I never noticed them completely before this. She tastes like heaven and I wonder what else she’ll let me do.

I move my mouth from her breast to kiss a trail down to the top of her shorts. I look up at her to be sure she’s okay with this and her smile assures me she is.

I pop the button on them and unzip them. Pulling at the sides, she shimmies to help me get her out of them, leaving me looking at blue silk panties.

“How about these? Can they go too?” I ask.

Her nod gives the approval and I’m very happy with the answer.
