All thoughts leave and only sensations reign.

It’s Hardy. It’s me. It’s the white-hot heat that’s searing its way up my spine and then reverberating back to my core to be knocked back out again.

“Let me watch you come apart. Let me see what I do to you.”

I’m so drugged with its power that it takes me a moment to realize the storm darkening in Hardy’s eyes.

“Fuck.” He grits the word out seconds before his body tenses, he rolls his head back, and his hips jerk beneath me.

I watch him.

I admire the beauty of him.

And when he reaches up to cup my neck and bring my lips back to his again, I know I’ve just lost a part of myself to him that I never expected to lose.

CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO

Whitney

Everything just changed.

Shifted.

Pushed whatever this is to another level and with his kiss still lingering on my lips and his hands still imprinted on my hips, I’m not quite sure what to do.

Sex is supposed to be just that—sex.

Eyes on me.

But this was more. It was different. It was intimate.

Keep them right on me.

I can still hear his groan and the way his eyes darkened and my name sounded on his lips.

Let me watch you come apart. Let me see what I do to you.

The urge to bolt is real. To run away and not look back. I’ve done it before and had no qualms about it.

But despite how strong the urge is to run, the need to keep my feet right where they are is even stronger.

It’s terrifying.

It’s confusing.

It’s . . . foreign.

And despite all three of those feelings milling in my head, none of them combined are strong enough for me to do what I’ve always done—bolt.

It’s just the rush of the orgasm. The heady feeling of staring at Hardy as he collects his things in the locker room. That’s all these feelings are.

Nothing more.

Nothing less.

I pull my hair up into a top knot and process everything in silence. It’s not an easy task though, considering I can’t take my eyes off him or stop thinking about the hum of his touch that I can still feel on my skin.

But staring at him also adds another element. Me trying to figure out why this all feels so different suddenly, when I know I’ve been in this situation before and I sure as hell know he has too.
