Page 27 of The Longest Wait

“I’d like to see that. It takes me at least three.” He pulled offhis jeans. He wasn’t having a laundry crisis because he was in hisboxer briefs. They both knew where this was headed and neededto be honest with each other about having sex. His penis juttingout to her wasn’t going to make it any easier on him.

He had to get real with her. “This is probably a mistake.”

“Of the worst kind,” she agreed about them prospectivelyhooking up. She unhooked her bar and tossed it over her shoulder.“Let’s just sleep together one more time. Get it out of our systems.”

Maybe that was part of why they fought. Maybe she was right,and they needed fuck it out of their systems.

He took off his underwear and stood naked in front of her.Loving the way her eyes trailed over him, appreciating his body.“Just tonight. No expectations.”

“Yes, I completely agree,” she said, taking off her jeans. Shewas completely naked. She gave him a huge smile. “I haven’t foldedlaundry in a week.”

“Thank fuck for that,” Alex said, moving close to her. Hecupped her face. “Are you sure.”

He held his breath, the seconds feeling like hours until shelooked up at him, her eyes shining.

“Are we ever? We might regret this tomorrow, but right now,in this moment, you’re all I want.” While she stood confidentlynaked in front of him, her voice shook.

His hands moved to grip her hair. It was like after all of theirbullshit, hearing Sofia admit she wanted him was an aphrodisiac.He could listen to her say it over and over. “Tell me again.”Sofia wrapped her arms around his waist. “Alex, I want you.”

As embarrassing as it sounded, he could probably get off onher words alone. Every demeaning dig she shot his way and everycold shoulder she tossed at him, none of it mattered. Sofia smiledup at him. Her declaration alone was enough proof he needed thatshe wanted to be with him too, even if it was only for tonight. Itwas like their night of truce brought them right back to wherethey started.

She was impatient as she defiantly stared at him. “Is your planto hear—”

His lips seized hers, not giving her the opportunity to finishher sentence. The moment his mouth crashed down on hers, something happened. It was as if a spark was reignited between them.She bit his lower lip, while he dropped his hands so his fingerscould touch her nipples and he squeezed. She stroked his cock,while he sucked on her neck.

He dragged her to his bedroom, neither of them stoppedtouching each other as they were desperate for one another. Theystumbled backward and fell on the bed. Alex moved quickly tograb a condom.

Once he put the condom on, Sofia pushed him to lean backand moved to sit in his lap. She slowly lowered herself onto him.She whispered, “This is only to finish what we started ten years ago.”

Alex grabbed her hips as she rocked on top of him. “Obviously,” he gruffed.

“We’re having sex to get”—she panted harder when Alex tookhis thumb to rub her wet, sensitive skin as she grinded on him—“we need to get it out, out of our system.”

He lifted her and tossed her on her back. Not missing a beat,he thrust hard and quick inside of her, greedily wanting more fromher. “Exactly.”

Sofia clutched at his back, pulling him closer as he pushedrelentlessly into her. “This is just sex,” she gasped when he addedhis thumb between her legs again to make her moan.

He yanked on her hair and bit the skin under her ear, fuckingher like his life depended on it. “Correct,” he groaned, gettingcloser to climax.

They rolled around on the bed, sex becoming a war betweenthem. They silently fought over who was going to be on top. Thecompetition grew to who was going to make the other come first.There was an unsaid battle to see who was going to make the otherscream the loudest at their release.

Turned out, they were so wrapped up in pleasing the other, itcame out of nowhere when they both orgasmed. Sofia was vocal,which wasn’t a surprise to him, and he grumbled into her neck withhis last stroke. Laying on their backs, sweaty and breathing heavy,neither said a word.

OF COURSE ALEX would be drastically better in bed. Not thatshe actually had the full experience the first time around. Everyfiber in her body tingled with joy, there was even a slight ache fromthe roughness between each other. Still, she was ready for anotherround. She said they would only be together once, thinking maybethat would be enough. She was wrong. She wanted, no needed,him again.

She stretched and then rolled to her side so they were staringat each other. “I thought, over the years and your history withwomen, if we had sex again, it was going to be the best sex ofmy life.”

It was more than the best sex, it was better than anything sheimagined, but she loved messing with him.

“Is that your way of asking for round two,” he said, rolling heronto her back. He sat up to put on protection.

“I guess you can try to prove yourself again. I was unimpressed,” she taunted him.

He shoved himself inside of her and she gasped. The fullnessof Alex was overwhelmingly wonderful. “Liar. You want this asbad as I do.”

Sofia figured for one night, she would let herself give in to Alexand how good he felt. “I do, but just tonight.”

His head dipped down to kiss her slowly, which was a paradoxfor the way their hips speedily pulsed against each other.
