“Julian, I…”
“I love you too. And I’m kicking myself because I’ve known it for months. Had every intention of being the one to say it first. And you walked in here at midnight and beat me to it.”
She let out a wet, startled laugh.
“I love you, Alyssa.”
I kissed her, the only woman I’d ever wanted to keep, the words finally out of me and into the room. She kissed me back the same way, her hand sliding to the back of my neck.
And then it wasn’t slow.
Clothes started disappearing and the next thing I knew, I’d lifted her up and laid her on the bed back against the sheets, still kissing her.
“You have no idea how bad I missed you.” I dragged my lips down her neck.
“I missed you bad, too, Julian,” she answered, breathless.
My hands slid under her shirt, fingertips skating over the strip of skin where her blouse had ridden up, and a tremor ran through her.
I took my time kissing every spot of skin I could. Her face, her neck, her arms, over her breasts, and stopped there just to feel her arch under me while she tangled her fingers behind my head, repeating my name like it was the only word she knew. I kissed a trail down her stomach tothe edge of her panties, hooked my fingers in the lace, and drew them down her thighs, dropping them off the side of the bed.
I sat back against the headboard, propped myself up on pillows, and patted my chest. “Come here, sit.”
She blinked, breathless, caught between hesitation and heat. “Julian, I could suffocate you.”
I chuckled, shaking my head. “You won’t. Come here.”
She still hesitated, so I reached out, grabbed her wrist, and gently pulled her forward until she was straddling me. One hand on her hip, the other sliding down the curve of her ass, I shifted us, flipping her until she was seated on my chest.
Her breath caught. “Ummm?—”
“Relax… let me.”
I spread my hands across her ass, lifted her just enough to position her, and then sat her down over my face.
She gasped, one hand flying to the headboard for balance, the other tangling in my hair as I devoured her, slow at first, tasting every part of her I’d missed. Her thighs trembled against my jaw, her breath coming fast and shaky as I switched pace, licking her, sucking until her hips started moving on their own.
“That’s it. Mmmm,” I groaned against her, tightening my grip, guiding her rhythm. “Ride me.”
Her moans slipped out, unguarded, raw, and I felt every single one in my chest. I flicked my tongue faster, harder, sucking her clit until she was moving against me, grinding, chasing it. Her free hand slid down to my shoulder for balance as I smacked her ass once, low and firm, making her cry out and rock even harder.
“Oh! God, yes,” she shouted.
“Feel good to you, Gorgeous?” I muttered between breaths, gripping her tighter, refusing to let her pull away.
“Mmhmmm,” she moaned.
I didn’t let up until she shattered against me, thighs clenching around my head, her body trembling and dripping as I sucked and licked her through it, drawing out every last tremor until she collapsed forward, panting, boneless against my chest.
I eased her down carefully, one arm around her back, holding her steady as I kissed the inside of her thigh again, softer this time, pulling her close while her breathing steadied.
She was still trembling when I slid my hands to her hips, guiding her slowly down my chest until her thighs straddled my waist. I was hard asa rock, and the second she brushed against me, I couldn’t hold back the groan that left my throat.
I lined her up and sank her down onto me in one deep, hungry glide.
Her cry tore out, and her nails dug into my shoulders as her head fell back. “Julian!”
“Yesss, Lyss.” I gripped her hips tight, holding her there for a second just to feel her around me, warm and wet and perfect.
