“I know you’re used to being in charge, but tonight, you’re not. Tonight, I’m in charge.” He rose up on his elbows for a moment, gazing at me. “Do you trust me?”
I nodded. I did trust him—and I never trusted anybody.
He gave me the lopsided grin that I loved. “Good. Just relax. I’ll take good care of you. I promise.” He went back to my nipple. I groaned and writhed beneath him, my desire soaking through me. I felt that empty pang between my legs again, keening for him. Maybe it was twenty-five years’ worth of pent-up sexual frustration, or maybe it was just Gabe that I wanted so badly.
I did want him badly.
He sensed my frustration and my urgency. He trailed his kisses down farther, past my downy curls to my thighs. He kissed them reverently, then he finally opened my warm, wet folds with his fingers. He sighed happily. “I missed this.” He kissed me there, his tongue lapping me with long, luxuriant strokes.
I cried out as overwhelming sensation ripped through me, stunning me with the heat as much as the enormity of what we were doing. Gabe took my clit into his mouth and sucked on it, hard, nipping at it with his teeth. My whole body shook, consumed by feelings that were all new to me.
He slid a finger into me. “Jesus, Lauren. You’re so wet for me.” He continued to nuzzle and lap at my clit, driving me into a frenzy as he took his time exploring me. He added another finger, sliding in and out of me gently but mercilessly, giving me enough of a taste to drive me wild.
“You’re gonna come for me, baby, and I’m going to loosen you up. Then, I’m going to enter you, nice and slow. Are you ready?”
I nodded, panting, more than ready.
“Wait.” Gabe sat up, facing away from me.
Wait? I opened my mouth to protest, but he got up and stalked over to the wall, touching some buttons, bringing a roaring fire to life in the fireplace. I studied his naked body, and my protest died on my lips. His physique was amazing, like a Greek god. Enormous shoulders led down to a sculpted chest, chiseled abdominal muscles, and divots near his hips that I planned to explore with my tongue when he got back in bed. I briefly looked at his thighs, which were massive.
That wasn’t the only thing that was massive.
His erection sprang out in front of him, inch after thick inch. He was huge. I started to panic. Was that going to fit?
Finding out seemed like a very, very bad idea and a very, very good one all at the same time.
Gabe stalked around and lit candles, bringing a warm glow to the room. Finally, he came back to the bed. He kissed me gently and brushed the hair from my face. “It’s your first time,” he said quietly. “And even though you just want me for my body, I still want it to be special.”
I smiled at him, in spite of my growing apprehension at the size of his endowment. “It’s already special,” I said, a little breathlessly. “But thank you.”
He beamed at me, then leaned over to his nightstand. He pulled out a foil packet from his drawer and tossed it on the bed.
I looked at him quickly. “You don’t need that.”
He raised his eyebrows. “Lauren, babe, I know you don’t have a lot of experience, but virgins can get pregnant. That’s just a rumor they like to circulate in high school.” He laughed, and I swatted him.
“I’m…I’m on the pill. I have been for weeks.” I could feel a furious blush creep over me. The truth was, I’d called my physician and had her write me a birth control prescription the day I’d left Gabe. I’d wanted to be prepared for any eventuality, even if I’d felt silly taking it every day. “The chance of me becoming pregnant is zero point one percent.”
“Ooh—decimals. Sexy. I like it. And are you comfortable with that particular percentage?”
“I’m satisfied with that math. Plus, I want to…feel you. I want to feel all of you.” Desperate to have him inside me, I wanted to finally feel him, all of him. I swallowed. “Have you been…tested recently?”
His eyes flashed at me. “I get tested regularly. I’m free and clear.”
“Then, let’s proceed.”
“How clinical of you.” He laughed again and laid me back gently. “You can take the scientist out of the lab…” He loomed over me, his eyes sparkling. “Actually, it’s pretty fun taking the scientist out of the lab. I could get used to this.”
He kissed me deeply, and I remembered what he’d promised. You’re gonna come for me baby, and I’m going to loosen you up. Then, I’m going to enter you, nice and slow.
Anticipation coursed through me. His hardness was between my legs, the deep ache inside me intensifying.
Our tongues continued to tangle together, and Gabe ran his hands down my body with a renewed fervor. He moved his mouth down me, kissing and gently biting at my nipples, before finding his way in between my legs again. He parted me and licked my clit urgently. I threw my head back and moaned, desire and pleasure ripping through me, making me crazy. I ran my hands over him as he buried his face between my legs.
Then, he entered me with two fingers, massaging me deep inside. The combination of the two sensations unraveled me. I’d been ready earlier—I started to fall apart, to come, screaming his name as he sucked on my clit relentlessly. I bucked beneath him as my body shook, totally under his control. The edges of my vision blurred, so I closed my eyes, giving myself over to the riptide that was crashing over me and bringing me out to sea.
The aftershocks of my orgasm rippled through me as Gabe continued to lick my clit. I could feel myself under his spell, swollen and aroused beyond any sense. I thought he would stop, but he kept licking and sucking until I writhed underneath him again, almost crying, begging for him to enter me. He did, but only with his fingers, stretching and searching and stroking me, taking his goddamned time. I bucked my hips, wanting to feel more of him.
