Alex pulled me close. “She trusts you,” he said. “She tried to get me to come over every single night.”
I pouted. “Wish you would’ve listened.”
He gave me a remorseful smile. “Me too. We both have some old habits we need to kick, but we can work on those together, okay?”
I wrapped my arms around him, pressing my lips to his. “No more talking about your ex when we’re about to get naked, got it?”
Alex nodded, deepening the kiss. “Or ever.”
“Or ever,” I agreed, tugging at his jacket. “Take this off. Take all of it off.”
He quickly did as I asked, tossing his clothes aside. I went to the nightstand and pulled out the lube and condoms, setting them onto the bed before stripping out of my own clothes.
Alex looked a little eager as he lay down, his blond hair ruffled and sexy as fuck.
“On your back,” I said, crawling over to him. After straddling his hips, I leaned down to kiss him, loving how easily he wrapped me up in his arms. I could’ve gotten lost in his touch so easily if my mind wasn’t going in circles about how thankful I was that he was back in my bed.
I’d longed to see the faint freckles on his nose again, and now here they were, begging for me to kiss every single one of them. Forever.
“I missed you,” I said, unable to help myself from kissing them. “So fucking much.”
He squeezed my thighs, making me rock against him. “I missed you too.”
I bent to kiss his chin and neck, reveling in the feel of his beard under my lips. “I seriously missed this beard too,” I breathed. “So sexy.”
Alex turned to give me better access to his skin. “I love that you love the beard.”
I laughed, licking and sucking every inch of him I could reach until he was writhing beneath me, then began going lower. Alex’s hand landed on the back of my head when I nipped at his nipple.
“Like that?”
He nodded.
I did it again, earning a buck of his hips. “What else do you like?”
When he didn’t reply, I swirled my tongue in his navel, smiling at the way he squirmed. I’d gotten lazy while in Newport and hadn’t bothered to shave, so I had a nice short beard of my own going on. When I used it to scrape against Alex’s hipbone just like he had done to me several times before, he jerked up.
“Oh fuck. That feels good.”
“Mm-hmm. See. Beards are addicting.”
Alex gave a muffled curse as I began alternating between rubbing my beard against his skin and soothing each spot with a tender kiss. His cock jerked and pulsed against my face, begging for attention, but I ignored it, going for his balls instead. Alex spread his knees, giving me full access as I settled between his legs.
He tried to reach for me again, but this time, I didn’t let him. “Hold the headboard,” I said.
“What?”
“The headboard. Use both hands.”
He frowned but complied, gripping the metal bars above his head.
I sucked each of his balls one at a time, enjoying him buck and curse. When I glanced up, his eyes were closed. “Eyes on me, babe.”
They were wild with lust when he forced them open, and I let the tip of his cock pass over my tongue before swirling it around the head.
“Like that,” he breathed, pumping his hips up.
I smiled and rewarded him with a kiss at the tip before taking him further, enjoying the feel of his thick girth sliding down the back of my throat. I bobbed up and down a few times, trying my best not to break eye contact with him. When I let go, I swatted his thigh playfully.
