Her eyes darkened with pleasure. “Oh yeah?” She rose to her feet and sat back on the bed, peeling her panties slowly down her legs.
Too slowly for his liking, and he yanked them down hard, need driving him.
She spread her legs, giving him a glimpse of her damp sex. He climbed over her and grazed his dick over her clit.
She whimpered at the soft contact. “I need you inside me now.”
He wasn’t about to argue. He arched his back, ready to thrust deep inside her when he remembered. “Fuck. No condom. I didn’t know I’d be coming here.” He braced his arms on the bed, sweat trickling down his back.
“I don’t keep them here anymore.” She closed her eyes in frustration for a brief second before opening them and meeting his gaze. “I haven’t been with anyone since you. And at my doctor’s suggestion, I’ve had regular checkups. I’m okay… if you are. Plus I’m on the pill now.” Pure need shone on her face, along with a hope and trust that was humbling.
“I haven’t been with anyone, either. I swear.” He’d been too devastated by his actions, by how he’d hurt her and what he’d done, to even think about dating another woman. Let alone having sex with one. “I’m clean. I promise you.”
She blew out a long breath, her gaze holding his. “I want to feel you. Every bare inch.”
He let out a low groan, raised himself over her, aligning his cock and gliding home. “Oh damn, baby, you feel good.” Slick, soft, and cushioning him in warmth. He felt her everywhere, so different from when latex separated their bodies.
Nothing kept them apart now.
They moved as one, the sounds, the groans, the soft sighs all melded together as desire grew faster and more furious between them.
He pumped in and out, getting closer to Kendall with each successive thrust.
He kissed her face, inhaled, breathing her in as she shook around him, her fingernails scoring his back, the pain mixing with pleasure as he climbed higher. Closer to climax.
“Julian, please,” she panted in his ear. “So close. I’m so close.”
He gritted his teeth, holding his climax, helping push her toward her own. He eased back, sliding his hand between them and pressing his finger against her slick clit.
“Oh God.” She arched into him, and he pressed harder, moving his finger in small circles until she began to shake beneath him.
“That’s it, I’m coming!” She cried out and he thrust deep, pounding into her until she stiffened and started to tremble once more.
Knowing she was coming again set off his own release, his climax detonating. He came, a mixture of physical release and intense emotions rocking him to his core.

Kendall woke up first, her skin wrapped in heat. Julian had pulled her into his arms, cocooning her with his big body. She sighed and snuggled back into him, still amazed he was back in her life.
Last night it had been evident he still struggled with his demons, but also that he was determined to fight them. AA was necessary to his well-being.
Apparently, so was she. She liked knowing when he was down, he came to her. And she felt bad for what he was going through. His past returning had to be tough.
She didn’t want Billy around Julian any more than she wanted him around his sister. Kendall wasn’t worried about drugs or Julian resorting to old ways. They’d come too far and she trusted him too much for that. But she was worried about how Billy’s return affected and upset him.
She glanced at the clock on her nightstand, surprised it was after nine. They’d both overslept, which wasn’t a problem for her. It was her day off. And she knew why she’d needed extra sleep, she thought with a grin. He’d kept her up last night with his hands all over her, doing amazing things to her body.
All the fear she’d had of their sex life changing, being less exciting because she was more mellow and calm, had been for nothing. Between the fun spanking the other night and the intensity of last night, she knew she had nothing to worry about. They were beyond compatible in bed.
And this time around, she’d learned they were also good for each other in other ways, as well.
She rolled out from under his arm, and he snagged her back, pulling her beneath him. “Going somewhere?”
“Nope.” Not now that he was awake. “Are you feeling better this morning?” she asked, partly afraid she was doing the wrong thing by bringing it up again.
“Much better. But I feel bad that I left Alex. When I called last night, she said not to worry about it, but I don’t want to make it a habit.”
“I understand.” She ran her fingers through his hair. “We’ll just call it extenuating circumstances and leave it at that.”
