“That’s right, Sunshine. Ride that cock. Fucking own it.” His hand came down on my ass with a resounding crack that bounced off the warm tiles. The glass doors were completely fogged up, making it impossible to see out, but that was fine with me, since Tanner was the only thing that held my attention.
“It’s so good,” I panted. My tits bounced as I took him rougher, feeling the head of him hit something deep inside me that was both painful and exquisite at the same time. “I’m close. I’m almost?—”
“That’s my good girl. Get there, Sunshine. Show me how fucking good my fat cock makes you feel.”
His words were all it took to push me over the edge, and I screamed out my release until my throat felt like I’d swallowed sandpaper. Tanner’s hips began lifting off the bench, driving deeper inside me, and a second later, he swelled impossibly thicker before following after me and roaring out a sound that set off a second climax in me.
I collapsed against him, wrapping my arms around his shoulders and burying my face in the crook of his neck as I came down from the most amazing orgasm of my life. “Oh my god,” I said once I was able to breathe again. “That was so good. Why was it so damn good?”
Tanner looked down at his lap, his brow furrowing. “I think I might know why.” He lifted his gaze to mine. “Holly, baby... I forgot to put on a condom.”
Chapter Thirteen
Holiday
It took my brain a few seconds to catch up to what he’d just said, but that was enough time for Tanner to assume my silence was a freakout. “Sunshine, I’m so sorry. I wasn’t thinking. I swear, this has never happened before.”
“So you’ve never had sex without a condom before?” I asked, for clarification.
He shook his head, running his hand down the back of my hair. “Never. I’m clean, if you’re worried about that. And besides that, I get regular physicals. If you want to see for yourself, I’m more than happy to show you.”
I probably should have been freaking out, or at the very least concerned, but for some reason—maybe the earth-shattering sex and orgasms—I was fine. I believed him when he said he was clean, so instead of worrying about everything, I decided to just roll with things and enjoy this while it lasted. I’d felt more alive the past several hours than I had in a long time, and I wasn’t ready to give that up.
“It’s okay.”
“I can’t believe I—wait. Did you just say it’s okay?”
I couldn’t help but smile. He was really cute when he was flustered. “I did. Because it is. I’m clean too, and I have an IUD, so you don’t have to worry about me getting pregnant either.”
He frowned for some reason, but before I could ask why, my stomach let out a rumble, pulling him back into the present. He smiled, wiping water droplets off my face with his middle and index fingers. “I guess I didn’t feed you enough at breakfast, huh?”
I lifted my shoulder in a shrug. “Well, you’ve given me quite the workout lately. More than I’m used to, that’s for damn sure.”
He chuckled, his smile unrepentant as he lifted me off his lap and placed me on my feet before standing from the bench. “Then let’s get you cleaned up and reheat what’s left from breakfast.”
He insisted on washing my hair and scrubbing my body, his touch so tender it created a burn on my nose and the backs of my eyes. I had to blink to fight back the tears that wanted to fall. He was so damn sweet. Unless he was being dirty, but even that was better than I could have imagined.
Once we were both clean, we climbed out and Tanner wrapped me in a plush, oversized white towel. I dressed in my clothes from the day before and wrapped my damp hair into a bun on the top of my head before returning to the kitchen. That time around, Tanner was dressed in a pair of jeans and a long-sleeved thermal that hugged his muscles perfectly.
He turned his head at the sound of my footsteps and grinned over the rim of his coffee mug. “Hey gorgeous.” He lifted the mug in his hand, asking, “Want another cup?”
“Yes, please,” I answered immediately. I lived on caffeine at all hours of the day. As he worked on brewing a cup for me, I slid one of the stools out and took a seat. He must have reheated the breakfast he made earlier, because there was already a plate sitting on the island, and I didn’t hesitate to dig right in.
The perfectly crisp bacon from earlier was now a little droopy, but it didn’t affect the taste at all. I crunched into a piece. I hadn’t been joking about Tanner giving me a workout. I’d probably burned more calories in the past twelve hours than I had in the last year.
A minute later Tanner slid a mug in my direction. I lifted it to my lips and drank, my eyes widening in surprise that he remembered how I’d taken it earlier. “Thank you for all of this. I think I can say with confidence that this is the best first date I’ve ever been on.” Though it didn’t feel like a first date. At least not anymore. All my usual hangups when it came to first dates were notably absent. It felt like I’d known Tanner for years, not less than a handful of days.
“Glad I could be of service.” He bent forward, resting his forearms on the island across from me. His presence was as potent as ever, even with the large slab of marble between us. “But it was the least I could do.”
I arched a single brow. “Yeah, well, it’s more than someone besides my family has done for me in a really long time.” And how sad was that? “I’m feeling a little spoiled over here,” I confessed as I scooped up a bite of eggs and stuffed them into my mouth.
“Better get used to it, ’cause I plan to spoil you as much and as often as I can.”
For a few more weeks, I thought to myself, the reminder dulling some of my shine. I shook my head to clear it of that unhappy thought and pushed it to the darkest, deepest recesses to dredge up later. For now, I was choosing to stick my head in the sand so I could enjoy it while it lasted.
I moved the food around on my plate as a thought I had been curious about since earlier that morning came to me. “Um, so...can I ask you a question?”
“Sure,” he answered without hesitation before taking another drink of his coffee. “Anything you want to know, just ask.”
