I grin against the inside of her thigh. Bite softly. She jolts.
Then I put my mouth on her.
She tastes like clean salt and the soap I use and something sweeter underneath that belongs only to her. I eat her like I mean it. Flat tongue across her clit first, then tighter, then two fingers curled up inside her while my mouth stays where she wants it. Her thighs close on my ears. Good. Let them.
When she comes, she comes quiet. A gasp and a stutter and her whole body going tight and then soft, and my name half strangled in her throat.
I keep going.
She tries to push me off. I pin her hips with a forearm across her pelvis, careful of the ribs, and I don't let up until she's shaking and saying please and please and please and comes again harder than the first.
Then I come up.
Kiss her soft belly. Her hipbone. The underside of her breast. Her throat.
Her mouth.
She tastes herself on me and her tongue chases it and her hand slides between us and palms me through my jeans, and I let out a breath that sounds like I've been holding it a year.
I get my jeans off. Boxers with them. Condom from the nightstand because I put one there on day three and I'm not proud of how hopeful that was.
She watches me roll it on. Licks her lips. "God."
"What."
"You."
I fit myself between her thighs. Careful of the ankle. Rest my forehead against hers.
"Tell me if anything hurts."
"Yes sir."
I push in.
Slow. All the way.
Her mouth falls open and her hand fists at the small of my back and I don't move. I can't move. Not for a second. She's tight and hot and looking up at me like I've done something miraculous by showing up at all.
"Garrett."
"I know."
I start to move.
Deep. Unhurried. I've been a patient man my whole life and this is what the patience was for. I watch her face. I watch the freckles across her nose. I watch the way her eyes slip closed and open again to find mine because she can't help it.
Her good leg wraps around my hip.
"Harder."
"You sure."
"Hawk."
I give her harder.
She takes it. All of it. Her hand slides up into my hair and pulls and I drop my forehead to her collarbone and fuck her in long deep strokes that shake the headboard against the wall, and her breath catches with every one of them, and I know I'm notgoing to last long because I've been hard for five days and she's saying my name like it means something.
