She cups my face, brushing my lips with trembling fingers. “I’m in love with you, Nickolas Hardy. I always have and I always will.” Her voice breaks, and with it, something in me fractures. I open my eyes and stare at her in disbelief.

“I always wanted you, and I couldn’t bring the courage to confess it,” she says, blushing and averting her gaze.

I grip her chin, tilt my head and kiss her with desperation. With hunger. With everything I am. My thumb presses against her clit as I thrust into her faster and harder.

She whimpers, her body tightening, her gaze locked with mine.

“I need you to come now, Ser,” I whisper, right as the most powerful orgasm of my life crashes through me. I groan and kiss her again, unable to stop.

I feel her pussy spasming around my cock, and I drive into her faster, prolonging our highs. She tightens her hips around mine and cries out soft little sounds that shoot straight to my cock.

“Nick.” My name is a breathless plea on her lips, her entire body contracting. “Oh my God. This is too much.”

I chuckle as she collapses against me, her head resting on my shoulder, her pussy still clenching around me.

“Baby, I’ve been in love with you since the first time Liam introduced you to me,” I confess, continuing our conversation.

I hug her tighter, nuzzling her neck and inhaling her scent—vanilla, Sierra, and sex. Mine.

With my dick still throbbing inside her, I whisper, “I always saw you like this forbidden girl… and I was afraid to try something and risk my friendship with Liam.”

I take a few breaths and tighten my grip on her waist.

“I’m sorry for everything I did, Ser. All those girls and all those parties—they were just ways to distract myself from thinking about you. That’s why I chose to leave for London. I hoped the distance would help me forget about my feelings for you.”

She’s completely dazed, living in the post-orgasm fog, when she pulls back and looks me in the eyes.

“What are you talking about? You… wanted me?” Her face is flushed, her pupils dilate, and her voice is laced with disbelief. “You liked me?”

I throw my head back and laugh. “I see I did a great job hiding it.”

“This isn’t funny, Nickolas. I thought you’d never see me like that. I convinced myself you’ll never want me like that. And it killed me a little more every day.”

She glares at me and punches my chest. Her hand is small, but sharp. The sting is oddly welcome.

“I’m so mad at you right now. You made me see you with all those girls,” Ser says it with a pout, her expression murderous.

“I’m sorry, baby.” I gently tuck a strand of hair behind her ear, swallowing down the guilt I feel. „I was a coward. And all the time we lost… it’s my fault.”

Pressing a kiss to her neck, I lower my head onto her shoulder.

“You’re everything to me, Ser. I never wanted a relationship because I knew it had to be you or no one else.”

“I spent all that time thinking I’d never have a chance with you, Nickolas. And here you are… in love with me.”

She threads her finger through my hair, scanning my face with awe.

“You’re so fucking handsome. I get lost in your beautiful green eyes every time you look at me.”

I smile, stunned, and pull her even closer. Her words shatter me in the best way. I’ve never felt this flustered.

I place my index finger underneath her chin, lifting her face toward me. “I don’t know what you're doing to me, baby, but I’m completely under your spell.”

She laughs into my ear, her warm breath teasing my skin. Her whole body shifts slightly, making my cock stir inside her.

“If you don’t want round two in the car, you’d better stop doing those moves,” I growl, gripping her hips.

“Oh, I want round two. And three. And four, Nick. I want them all with you,” she says, smirking maliciously, her voice deliciously wicked.
