“You’re so wet,” I groaned as my hand glided lower.
“Um, that’s a normal physiological reaction?—”
“Shhh.Deep breaths.Listen to my voice,” I whispered as I explored her.Her breath hitched when I found her clit—she wasn’t the only one who had studied.Firm, slow circles with my finger brought a soft moan—a deliciously satisfying sound.“Like that?”
“Yes.”Her head leaned back next to mine.“Don’t stop.”
“I won’t.You’re so warm.I like you like this.”I kissed her neck and nibbled her earlobe.“Does that feel good?”
“Yes, Henry.”
“Fuck, I like it when you say my name like that.Say it again, please.”
“Henry,” she groaned.I was rock-hard again, pressing into her ass as she arched against me.Her breath quivered as she whispered my name again.
“That’s it,” I coaxed, loving her pleasure, loving that I could do this for her, that she needed me, wanted me this way.“Come all over my hand like I did to you.Let me feel you.”
She shifted, pushing against me once more, spreading her thighs, and propping her leg over mine.Opening for me.My hand slid over the full range of her, my fingers dipping inside.I wrapped my free hand around her, cupping her breast over her shirt.
“Ah, Henry, this is better than I…”
“Shhh, just let it happen.”
“I…” Her voice shook.She’d never been so freely at my mercy before, never this blissful, never so damn wanton.Her entire body quivered with my touch.I thought her touching me was amazing, but this, this was better.
This was Venuslettingme love her.Finally.
“Think about me when you come, Venus,” I whispered.Those words marked her undoing.
“Henry,” she whimpered, convulsing against my hand.When her body relaxed in my arms, I wanted to fucking cheer.
Her body trembled against mine as she came down from her release.I wondered what she was feeling—did it feel the same as mine?That build, the release, the exquisite converging of everything at once.Finally touching her that way made me realize how much I’d always wanted her, even before I understood why.
But then she said the words no one ever wants to hear.
“This… this was a mistake.”
She pulled my hand away and wriggled free of my hold altogether.
“What?Why?”I sat up, watching her shift her clothes into place and tug on her rubber boots.“Venus, what’s wrong?”
She stopped in a huffing breath.Her hands drifted onto her hips as she formulated words.“This was not the outcome I anticipated.”
I let out a nervous chuckle.“That was… the perfect outcome.What outcome did you expect?You know how bodies work.”
“That’s not what I mean,” she said with exasperation.“I.I.”
I pulled myself from the blankets to sit at the edge of the bed.“I’m so sorry.Please tell me what I did wrong.I thought you were enjoying it.”
Her body softened, her face falling into a pout.“You didn’t do anything wrong.Youneverdo anything wrong, Henry.You were right.I should’ve taken more time to think this through, considered all the variables.”
“What variables did you fail to account for?”
She sighed.“Feelings, Henry.I would’ve accounted for feelings.”
I gaped.“This is theresultofour feelings, Vee.Not the cause.We never would’ve done this if we didn’t care for each other.You wouldn’t climb into my bedroom window night after night if you didn’t feel something for me.Right?What’s wrong with caring for each other?”
“Nothing,” she shook her head, swiping at a tear on her left cheek.“Nothing.And everything.”
