He slows and slides back, moving to his knees. He grabs my legs and brings me to him, lifting my hips so he can fuck me at a new angle, and oh my fucking god, it feels so good. I slit my eyes open just to see him looking at me. He brings his thumb to his mouth and licks it, wetting it before he rubs slow circles over my clit at the same time he fucks me.
It doesn’t take long for me to come again, pussy spasming around his thick cock. He pitches forward, holding himself right above me, and pushes in balls deep, I can feel his cock pulsing inside me as he comes. His breath leaves in a huff, and he rests his head against mine, hearts both racing. He kisses me once more and then slowly pulls out, moving to the side and spooning his body around mine.
In the back of my mind, I know I should get up, go pee, and clean myself up before climbing back into bed, but dammit, I don’t want to leave Ethan. His hand lands on the curve of my side, and I shiver, realizing now that I’m a little sweaty. Ethan drapes one of his legs around me and moves me closer to him. My eyes flutter shut, and I rest my head against his chest.
When I feel the semen start to drip down my leg, I begrudgingly get up and hurry to the bathroom. I pull back the comforter when I get back into bed, and cover the both of us up. Ethan envelopes me in his arms.
“You know you’re more than just a job to me, right?” he starts.
“I’d hoped.” I wiggle closer, eyes falling shut.
“I like you, Anora, and I didn’t want to.”
I tip my head up. “Is that supposed to be a compliment?”
Through the dark, I can see his smirk. “Yeah. It is. I don’t allow myself to get close to people, but it was different with you since the day you drunkenly walked into me.”
“Not my finest moment, but I’m not sorry about how things turned out.”
“Oh, fuck, I’m not, either. But there’s something about you,” he goes on, and I know talking about his feelings isn’t something that comes naturally for Ethan. “I don’t know what it is, but I like it. I liked it before I knew the truth. Things just…they just…fuck. They’re just better with you.”
Smiling, I put a leg over his and rake my fingers up and down his tattooed bicep. “They’re better with you too.” My eyes flutter shut again. I could fall asleep right here, tucked under the covers with Ethan’s naked body curved around mine.
“I came inside of you,” Ethan says rather suddenly. “That’s another thing I don’t do. I, uh, got carried away.”
“I did too,” I admit, realizing I didn’t even think about it. “Don’t worry, I’ve been on some form of birth control since I was like fourteen. Not because I’ve been having crazy sex for over ten years, but because I have really painful period cramps if things aren’t regulated down there.”
“Oh, uh, sorry?”
“Nah, I’m good. I have an IUD in now that helps.” A few minutes pass, and I’m getting closer and closer to falling asleep.
“Anora?” Ethan asks softly. “Do you still want to go out to eat tonight?”
“Do you?” I ask, slitting open my eyes.
“No,” he says bluntly. “I don’t want to leave your bed.”
My lips curve into a smile. “I don’t want you to, either.”
Chapter Nineteen
My alarm goes off, stirring me from a peaceful sleep. I’m naked and in my bed, wrapped in Ethan’s arms. There’s no place I’d rather be, and the thought of getting up to go to work is most unwelcome. I reach for my phone on the nightstand and hit snooze.
Ethan stirs but doesn’t wake up. I lie back down and snuggle up closer with him again, feeling small with his large body spooned around me like this. Small, and safe. Hunter moved from my bed to his own on the floor, and Romeo is somewhere in the room, sound asleep as well, and rain patters against the window. It’s a perfect sleeping-in day even if I didn’t have a naked, tattooed man in bed next to me.
My eyes close, and I swear, only three seconds later, my alarm goes off again. I pull my phone onto the bed and hit snooze again.
“You have to go to work,” Ethan grumbles, voice thick with sleep.
“Do I though?”
“If you’re leaving it up to me, no.” His arms go around me, and he slides me over, so my ass is pressed against his cock. It’s not hard, but the feel of it against my bare skin reminds me how good it felt pushing inside me.
“I have vacation time,” I say slowly, having a hard time forcing myself to open my eyes. “I need to use it by the end of the year.” Mystery’s board went up this year, and with things already tight on my budget, I couldn’t afford to take time off, let alone go anywhere for vacation. Money isn’t an issue anymore, though.
