“Gabe,” she purred.

“Do you still want this, Tori?” I asked as I slipped my thumb over the spot that had her legs twitching.

“God, yes.”

I drove my finger into her, watching as she threw her head back, her fingers digging into my shoulders.

“Good,” I said, kissing my way down her neck again. “Because stopping right now would kill me.” I kissed my way down her stomach. “Time for me to worship you, luna mia.”

Her sigh turned to a cry as I added another finger. My lips slid down her stomach, the scent of vanilla and cherry blossoms invading my senses. Pushing her legs further apart, I watched my fingers fill her, taking in the beauty that she was as I slid my tongue up her thigh. Back bowing, she moaned, a sound that sent sparks through me. Replacing my fingers with my tongue, I continued to feast on her until she was so close, her legs were quaking around my shoulders. Wrapping my arms around her thighs, I yanked her closer and took her over the edge. I peered up to see the gorgeous display as her body shook around me.

Swiping my tongue over her while she descended from her climax, I trailed my kisses up her thigh, her hip, over her stomach, taking time to taunt her nipples, then up her neck until I hovered over her again.

“Tell me how you want it, Tori, because I’m about to lose it after that sight.”

Her eyes were misty, the effects of her orgasm rife in her vivid irises. She pulled my head down and devoured my mouth.

“I want you so bad,” I muttered between kisses. My hardness grinding into her.

Lithe legs wrapped around me.

“I’m on the pill,” she said, and I drew back to look at her. I never went without a condom, but those words gave me an opening I didn’t think I’d refuse. Everything about Tori had me throwing aside my judgment and my rules. “I trust you, Gabe.”

Those words pounded through me, evoking guilt for the secrets I still harbored. Swallowing it back, I said, “I have a condom in my wallet.”

She shook her head. “It’s okay. I want you without it.”

My brow pinched, my eyes narrowed, but she thinned her lips and smacked my shoulder. “Don’t make it a jealousy thing. I’ve only ever gone without it in one serious relationship.”

That didn’t help, and I tipped my head as I waited for more.

“Really? You jealous ass,” she teased. “It ended four years ago.”

“That’s not the answer I was waiting for,” I said, nipping her lip.

She cocked her head, squinting as she tried to understand.

“Are we in a serious relationship?”

Her lips parted with her deep inhale. “Very.”

The answer was what I’d wanted. I didn’t care what she’d done in the past. She was mine now, and I planned to keep it that way. Lips crashing into hers, I kissed her again, pulling her body further into mine when I slid my arm below her. Our brief interruption had done nothing to calm my yearning for her, and I peeled her legs from me and stood.

“Scoot back,” I said, standing over her.

She questioned me with her eyes as she moved further onto the bed. “Shit, you are the most ravishing creature I’ve ever seen,” I told her as my eyes perused her body. “And I’m about to claim every piece of you.”

Her shiver was violent, and I couldn’t help but grin as I dropped my pants. She didn’t shy away from taking a long look at my body before I climbed over her.

“It’s all yours,” I said, resting at her entrance.

“Good, because I’m all yours, Gabriel Hughes.”

A shot of guilt surfaced that she didn’t even know my real last name and wouldn’t until I could tell her the truth. I shoved it aside and found her lips again, sliding further into her until I could no longer be patient. I kept my eyes on her, observing the expression of ecstasy as I filled her completely. Heaven couldn’t compare to what it was like being inside of Tori, and as shewrapped her legs around me, I knew there was no other place I wanted to be than with her.

Our bodies moved as one, our kisses deep enough to drive me to the edge. I dropped my head to her neck, my teeth gritting as my release threatened to pounce. Hand sliding over her breast, I teased her nipple, rubbing it between my thumb and my finger and slowing my thrusts. She trembled, her body bowing as another climax teetered on the precipice.

“That’s it, luna mia, fall apart for me again.”
