Niko couldn’t believewhat he’d just heard. Tiana used his ‘not girlfriend’ code word. Had she done it on purpose? He’d been staring at her lips, but his eyes shot to hers, and from the glimmer in them, he got his answer, she wanted him to kiss her.
Tiana’s breath caught as Niko stalked forward, a wild hunger drumming in his chest. He pressed a knee between her legs and planted his hands on either side of her hips, caging her in. She sucked in a startled breath as he got closer to her, and her lips parted as he tilted her chin up to maintain eye contact. He took advantage of the angle and lowered down, claiming her mouth with his and cradling her jaw with both hands.
The second his lips touched hers, she melted, but not in a soft, surrendering way. Tiana’s tongue tangled with his, matching his urgency. She grabbed the hem of his shirt and slid her hands beneath it, her fingernails scraping hot lines up his ribs as the material bunched against her wrists and she whimpered into his mouth. The noise she made was needy, and it shot through him like rocket fuel.
She managed to get the shirt to his chest, and he broke their kiss just long enough to pull it up and off his head, leaving herto rake her fingers across his bare shoulders. He then mirrored her, hands darting under her shirt, but he found she was like an onion that had layers. Every time he took off one piece of clothing, there was one more to go. It took him several attempts before he made it to a bare strip of golden skin. Neither of them stopped touching, not for a second. Her hands explored him as he undressed her between desperate kisses, ripping and tugging at layers of tops until cotton t-shirts littered the kitchen floor like confetti, and she was left in a sports bra and black leggings.
As she reached for her waistband, he caught her hand, pinned it behind her back, and used his free arm to haul her flush against him, so her breasts mashed against his chest. Her heartbeat thundered against his sternum. She huffed impatiently, then used her legs, strong and flexible, to wrap around his waist and pull him closer. Niko’s cock throbbed, boxed in by his jeans, and he let out a low, guttural sound he barely recognized as his own.
“Do you know how long I’ve wanted you?” he asked as he kissed and nipped at her neck.
She shook her head no as her breaths came in heavy pants.
“I never thought this would happen, that I’d be able to touch you, to kiss you… this is a gift. You are a gift,” he rasped as he nibbled on the sensitive area just below her ear, and he felt her thighs tremble in response as her nails dug into his shoulders. He lifted his head so his forehead was resting on hers. He stared into her eyes as he trailed his fingertips lightly across her chest, tracing the outline of her sports bra, dipping into the crevice of her cleavage. “And I don’t let other people open my presents.” His voice was low as he found the tiny snap at the center of her chest. With one twist, the material sprang apart, and Tiana’s breasts spilled into his palm, full and impossibly perfect.
He’d seen breasts before, obviously, but none had ever made him feel like his body had been plugged into an electric socket.They were round, soft, perfect. Her dusky rose nipples were so taut they looked like they’d ache if he didn’t put his mouth on them immediately. He did, groaning as he closed his lips around first one, then the other, lavishing them with his tongue and teeth, using his fingers to knead and squeeze gently, watching her writhe in pleasure. She must have liked it rough, because when he nipped a little harder, she clutched his head, her fingers threading through his hair and gripping until it stung.
He swapped back and forth, teasing and tugging, rolling the first one between finger and thumb as he learned exactly how she liked it—light at first, then with more pressure, then a little bite, then soft again. Her legs wrapped around his waist, and he felt like his hard-on was going to burst through his zipper. She rocked her core into his groin, and he could feel the heat radiating off of it. He knew that she was wet. She rolled her hips seductively, grinding against him, squeezing his waist so tight he almost lost his balance.
Tiana’s fingers fisted so hard in his hair that the sharp sting of his scalp sent a shooting sensation straight to his balls. He continued licking, sucking, and skimming his teeth on her nipples as he slipped his fingers beneath the elastic band of her leggings and slid it down to the V of her thighs. His fingertips grazed the tiny patch of hair above her sex. When he felt it, his cock throbbed painfully behind its denim restraint.
His middle finger slipped easily between her slick folds, the evidence of her arousal greeting him. She was so wet, so ready for him, it nearly caused him to come in his pants. At his touch, Tiana gasped into his mouth as he pressed her further into the wall of sensation, teasing her mercilessly, refusing to touch her clit directly, no matter how she bucked her hips or tried to guide him. He dragged his finger up and down, circling her entrance, letting the pad of his finger barely skirt the place she wantedhim most. When hefinallygrazed her clit, her hips jerked off the counter.
He knew then that if he continued, she would orgasm like this, and that’s not how he wanted her to come the first time he got her off. Without warning, he pulled his hand away. She writhed against him with a huff of wordless protest. But, before she could get out a complaint, he grabbed her hips, bracing her with one arm beneath her thighs and the other behind her shoulders, and swept her up into his arms. Tiana squealed at the sudden lift, but her legs stayed locked around his waist. Her face nuzzled into the crook of his shoulder, and her hot breath fanned her neck. Even that was making his dick harder. Just her breathing turned him on.
Once they got to the room, he deposited her gently beside the edge of the bed and stripped her of her leggings and underwear. She held onto his shoulder as she stepped out of them. When he straightened back up, she reached to unbutton his jeans, but he grabbed her wrist to stop her. Her eyes flew to his.
“If you do that, this is going to be over before it starts.”
The blush that crept up her cheeks as she smiled was adorable. She lowered her arm and, instead of assisting, just waited while he took care of getting naked. When they were both fully undressed, they just stared at each other for a moment, breathing hard, drunk on the sudden proximity, the hunger between them a living thing. Her gaze raked down his torso, then farther down south. His eyes were taking her in from head to toe. Her body was petite but with curves. She was toned but not overtly muscular.
“Fuck, you are perfect.” His eyes lifted to hers, and he saw that her stare was not directed at his face.
She was looking at his erection that bobbed under the attention. She licked her lips as the corner of her lips curled. “I was thinking the same thing about you.”
His balls tingled and his cock pulsed. If she kept staring at him with those eyes and that smile, she could quite possibly become the first person to ever make him come just by looking at him, which would be really embarrassing.
Not about to let that happen, he picked her up and lowered her down on the bed, hovering above her. A few stray hairs had fallen across her face, and he brushed them back. “Are yousureyou want to do this?” he asked.
She nodded, but he thought he detected hesitation. He’d take this slow and give her plenty of time to change her mind.
He kissed every inch of the front of her body, and by the time he made it to her inner thighs, they were trembling with need. His eyes lifted up over her pelvic bone as he balanced himself on his forearms, his shoulder causing her legs to spread farther apart.
“So pretty,” he said, voice ragged with awe. “So perfect.”
He wasn’t being hyperbolic, as he ran his fingers along the outside of her sex, feather-light, skimming her feminine folds but never quite touching her where she wanted it most, he couldn’t get over how beautiful her pussy was aesthetically. He couldn’t wait to taste it, and thankfully he didn’t have to.
His thumbs explored the soft skin of her folds, parting her gently, and he could see now how ready she was for him. He mapped the flushed petals of her labia, memorizing every slick contour with his touch. As his fingertips ran up and down her pouty lips, glistening with arousal, he was careful not to touch her most sensitive area, the nub where all the nerves converged.
Her hands were fisted in the comforter at her sides, and her hips were starting to jerk each time he got close to her clit. She whimpered with need as his eyes remained locked with hers, and he covered her pleasure button with his mouth and sucked it into his mouth, then licked it with the flat of his tongue over and over again.
It only took three flicks before she came undone. Her hips jerked off the bed, and her eyes closed, and she rode out her release against his mouth. When she finally came back to herself, he was kissing up her belly, over her breasts, and finally hovering above her.
“We don’t have to do anything else. We can just go to bed.” He lowered down and pressed a soft kiss to her nose. “You can just go to sleep.”
Tiana pulled her bottom lip between her teeth as her hand moved between their bodies. Niko sucked in a startled breath when she wrapped her fingers around his shaft and squeezed.
