His arms were braced on either side of her body and he dipped to kiss her. Her mouth still tasted of the wine, the flavor more intoxicating than the alcohol could ever be. He moved faster as her kisses grew more passionate.
“Take my hands,” she whispered against his lips between kisses. “Like you did before.” She stopped clutching his shoulders and put her hands together.
Oh, damn. Alex shifted and gripped her wrists in his left hand. He held them over her head as he pounded into her harder. Once she was restrained, she paradoxically could let herself go. Sylvie cried out as he felt her orgasm around his cock. Alex was right behind her. Her body relaxed as he gave her a few more gentle glides before coming to rest deep inside her. He nuzzled into the side of her neck, breathing in her coconut smell mixed with salty skin. Alex realized he was still gripping her wrists and let go. She didn’t move her arms, she just let them rest over her head. They lay there quietly breathing together as Alex kissed her neck.
“That was…amazing,” Sylvie finally said. “I’ve never. Um.” A shiver ran through her.
Alex smiled against her skin. “Never what, baby? Had a man give you three orgasms?”
She chuckled. “Nope. I haven’t.” He felt like there was more she wanted to say, so he let the silence gather, giving her time.
At last, she said, “But I’ve also never been turned on from having someone hold my wrists like that.”
Ah. He pulled his head back to look at her. She was flushed, her skin blushing all the way from her forehead to down between her breasts. “Are you okay with it?”
Sylvie met his gaze. She nodded. “More than okay. I’d like you to do that to me the next time.” She ran her teeth over her bottom lip. “Maybe more?”
Alex closed his eyes against the rush of desire overwhelming him.
“Yeah, Sylvie. We can definitely explore doing more.”
“Navy men know their knots, don’t they?”
He opened his eyes to a wicked-sexy smile.
“Yes, we do.”
CHAPTEREIGHT
It was still dark as Sylvie drove Alex back to her house to pick up his SUV but the sky was beginning to lighten over the broad prairie to the east.
“Sorry I kept you up most of the night,” she said.
“No, you aren’t.”
“No, I’m not.”
They laughed, his baritone going straight to her heart. She was tempted to invite him in to stay the rest of the day.
Admit it, you don’t want this date to ever end.
That scared her the tiniest bit precisely because it didn’t scare her the tiniest bit.
What is happening here? Oh, besides the most incredible sex, the sweetness, the laughter, the ease of being in his company.
She needed to slow it down, at least for now, or else she was afraid of getting sloppy. They’d decided to keep their relationship quiet, which complicated things. Luckily, no one had been stationed at the gatehouse when they left, and she hoped the cameras only picked up her car, not who was riding in it. At least she was safe coming and going with Chewie as her excuse. She’d gone back to the kennels alone to say hi to Chewie before leaving and was probably on camera then. But if she spent any more time with Alex, Sylvie was afraid her natural inclination to take risks would outweigh her common sense and tempt her to spend too much time with him outside of class.
Yup. As much as it would suck, maybe they needed to put a hold on any ‘sleepovers’ for now.
The growing light showed her the stubble on his chin and cheeks, the same roughness that had brought her so much pleasure the night before. She bit the insides of her cheeks in frustration.
This wouldn’t be easy. At all.
“What are you planning on doing today?” Alex asked her.
“Oh, I’m going straight back to bed. Someone wore me out.” She grinned. “I don’t think I even have the energy to put on my pajamas.”
He groaned. “Sure, just leave me with the image of you lying naked in bed, why don’t you?” He stretched and laid his hand on her thigh, where his fingers found their way under her skirt and teased her skin with little swirls.
