“I’m glad we’re finally doing this,” she said, with a soft smile that made him feel all warm inside.
“Me too.” He leaned down to kiss her with slow, drugging kisses as he notched his cock at her entrance.
When he hesitated, she pushed up her hips, taking in an inch. She felt amazing, and he leaned his forehead against hers as he fought to keep from coming. But he knew his impatient Harper wouldn’t wait long, so he pushed slowly into her, taking his time so she could get used to him.
He’d had plenty of good sex in his life, but nothing had come close to how it felt to be inside Harper’s slippery heat. Because no one had come close to Harper.
As tears stung the corners of his eyes, he closed them tightly, only for Harper to whisper, “I know. I feel the same.”
His eyes flew open to see moisture glistening in hers. With a sheepish smile, he dipped his mouth to take hers again as he began to stroke rhythmically in and out, using steady, deep thrusts.
Harper matched his movements, the two of them perfectly in tune as they either kissed or pulled away to look at one another in wonder.
When he couldn’t hold off his own orgasm any longer, he reached down to rub her clit.
She pushed his hand away. “Too sensitive! Besides, I’m almost there.” Her words were tight and her breaths were quick.
His hips sped up and his thrusts became more erratic. It was only a few more strokes before he thrust in one last time, stilling himself inside the heat of her body as he spilled into the condom.
He rolled them to their sides, once again pushing the hair off of Harper’s beautiful face as he examined her.
She gave him a weary grin. “That was…” Words seemed to have failed her.
Chase grinned back. “Yeah, it was.” When he could move again, he got up to dispose of the condom, Harper curling against his side when he returned to the bed.
He wrapped an arm around her, kissed the top of her head, and fell asleep with a smile on his face.
EPILOGUE
The ringingof Harper’s phone woke them the next morning. Blindly reaching for it, she answered groggily. “Hello?”
“Hey, Harper. You didn’t answer my texts. Are you guys going to be able to join us today?”
“Just a sec,” she murmured. Turning her head to look over her shoulder, she quietly asked Chase, “Do you think we’ll be able to leave today?”
“We’ll be there by lunch.” He dropped a kiss on her shoulder.
“What the fuck, Connelly? Did you bone my sister?!”
Harper shrieked. “Why are you FaceTiming me? You never FaceTime!”
“Why are you in bed with Chase?” he asked in return.
“That’s none of your business. We’re both consenting adults,” she answered primly.
“Chase, I’m gonna kick your ass,” Jackson threatened.
Chase leaned over Harper’s shoulder. “No, you’re not, dude. You always threaten it but never do. Besides, I’m way bigger than you.”
Jackson sputtered before answering, “Yeah, well, I have righteous anger on my side.”
“Why?” Chase asked calmly.
“You took advantage of my sister.”
Harper growled. “He absolutely didn’t. If anything,Itook advantage ofChase.”
Chase leaned in. “Listen, man. I wouldn’t have slept with Harper if I only wanted a one-and-done. This means something. We’re still figuring out what, but that’s for the two of us to determine, not you.”
