“Be gentle,” I whisper, a trickle of fear running through me. He hesitates, his gaze meeting mine. “I’m still a little—nervous.”
About my health issue. About being with this man who makes me feel too much, too soon.
“I won’t go too fast,” he promises. “I’ve been waiting for this moment for so long…”
His voice drifts and I close my eyes, overcome with f
oreign emotion. I’ve been waiting for it too. So long. And I didn’t know I wanted it so badly—wanted him so badly—until this very second.
“Please,” I whisper, urging him on, hating how desperate I sound. How sore and achy my throat feels. My entire body feels raw. Vulnerable. I want him to put me out of my misery and just do it already.
Caleb slips inside, just the tip. I’m surprised he’s not making a joke about it right now. I don’t say anything either.
I don’t want to ruin the moment.
He pushes farther, slowly filling me, an agonizing groan falling from his lips. I crack my eyes open to watch him sink even farther, until he’s deep inside me. Until he can’t go any farther.
Reaching up, I brush the hair from his face and he opens his eyes, blue brilliance staring back at me. “I’m in,” he says with the faintest smile.
A giggle escapes me. I can’t help it. “You’re in.”
“I never believed I’d actually be here. Like this. With you.” He leans into my palm when I cup his cheek. “Just thought I’d say that.”
I shift beneath him, sending him deeper, making us both moan. He starts to move, slowly, but with no hesitation, dragging his cock in and out of me, driving me out of my mind with pleasure. I wrap my legs around his hips, linking myself to him and he bends down, his mouth finding mine as he increases his speed. I move with him, little cries falling from my lips with his every thrust and he swallows each one. The room grows hot, our bodies damp with sweat, our skin slapping against each other. Faster. Faster, my orgasm building. Growing.
He slips his hand between us, his fingers finding my clit and that’s all it takes. I shoot off like a rocket, my orgasm washing over me, making me tremble and cry out his name. His movements become sloppy, his thrusts short and deep as he groans with each one. Until he’s coming too, my inner walls gently milking him, a groan falling from his lips.
I lie there beneath him, my heart racing, my thoughts chaotic. I close my eyes, trying to slow my breathing as he remains on top of me, his weight almost like a comfort.
“Fuck,” he breathes out, nuzzling the side of my face. “What are you doing to me?”
“What do you mean?” I run my hands down his smooth back, enjoying how his muscles shift when he moves.
“That was…” He goes silent. Swallows hard. “Unbelievable.”
“Oh, come on. It was just sex.” I’m trying to keep the moment light, even though secretly, I feel the same way.
What just happened between us felt…momentous. Like something I’ve never experienced before.
And that is some scary stuff.
Twenty-One
Caleb
We’re driving, headed for the beach, the oppressive heatwave currently happening in the central valley slowly becoming a distant memory the farther we go. Dad’s truck drives like a fucking dream since it’s newer than my car, and I’m speeding like a son of a bitch, eager to get to our destination.
I’ve got a pretty girl sitting in the passenger seat, sunglasses covering her eyes, a sweet smile on her face. She’s wearing shorts that her ass cheeks are practically hanging out of and a cropped, mint colored tank top. No bra underneath, which means her nipples are poking against the fabric.
Those nipples? They’re a fucking distraction.
“Since when did you become so anti-bra?” I ask her out of nowhere.
She glances over at me, her elbow propped near the window of the passenger side door, her fingers in her hair as she studies me. “Since when did you notice?”
“All morning, I’ve noticed.” When we left our apartment, I stared. When we went through the drive-thru at Starbucks before leaving Fresno, I kept staring too. I’m trying to stare now, but I don’t want to wreck.
I’d like to make it to the beach in one piece. Besides, my dad would kill me if I totaled his truck. I’m surprised he let me take it in the first place.
