“It’s going to be amazing. I promise—”
She sent both hands diving under the waistband of his boxers and dug her nails into his butt muscles just as he thrust into her again. His hips jerked forward, bumping him against her with more force than he intended. To his surprise she matched his fierce charge with a roughness that send an electric surge of pleasure down his spine.
It took him a second to realize she’d tugged his underwear down. But when the fabric hooked on his erection and she began to tug frantically, he came to his senses and eased her hands away before she damaged him beyond saving.
“Wait,” he murmured. “I need to get a condom.”
“Hurry.”
If every atom in his body wasn’t focused on what was to come, he might have smiled at her eagerness. Instead he concentrated all his energy on digging a foil packet out of his nightstand, tearing it open and rolling the condom onto his erection with hands that shook.
While he’d been so occupied, she hadn’t been idle. She’d thrown off the comforter and top sheet, leaving nothing on the bed to interfere with their lovemaking. Now, as he stood beside the bed, his shaft pointing directly at her, she reclined on her elbows. Offering him a small, satisfied smile, she parted her legs and let him drink his fill of the lush, rosy perfection that awaited him between her thighs.
With a shaky exhale, Ryan moved over her and rubbed the tip of his erection against her. Her head fell back and she moaned greedily. The glorious sound made him smile. He pushed a little way in and the wet slide into her tight heat made him shudder with pleasure.
“That’s it,” she moaned, her entire body vibrating as he slid deeper.
Her fingers curved into his back, nails digging. The sharp pain zinged along his already overwhelmed nerve endings as he pulled back and drove forward again.
“Like that?” he asked.
“Perfect.” She purred the word, her eyes slipping shut.
“This is just the beginning,” he promised her. “Don’t hold back.”
“Never.”
And she didn’t. She cried out at every thrust, giving herself over to him. It was a beautiful thing to watch as her earlier wildness became fierce demand. She rode her desire for dear life, claiming her pleasure without reservation. Equal parts awe and pride suffused him at the exquisite focus on her face.
Ryan slid his hand over her hip and drove into her harder. She moaned his name and he tried to form words to convey how he felt about her. What being inside her did to him.
“I need to come with you inside me,” she moaned, her husky voice rasping pleasantly against his raw nerve endings. “Make me come, Ryan.”
Her command echoed his need. Although he’d already given her one orgasm tonight, sharing a second one with her became his top priority. But already he was closer to finishing than he wanted to be. Being inside her short-circuited his willpower. He was too close to the edge. And he needed her to be there with him.
He shifted his hips and thrust into her at a different angle. She clutched him hard and the noises she’d been making morphed into something eager and frantic. Cracks appeared in the dam holding back his pleasure. He clenched his teeth, unsure how muc
h longer he could keep his release at bay.
The need to connect with her overwhelmed him. He opened his eyes and looked down at her. Lust blasted through him when he realized she was watching him. Their gazes tangled and locked. Something tore loose in Ryan’s chest as he realized he was exactly where he wanted to be. Not just buried deep in Zoe. But with her in this moment, watching her slowly shatter beneath him.
An electric, dangerous emotion sizzled down his spine and tightened his gut, then he felt nothing but searing heat and pounding heart and endless desire.
“Come with me, baby,” he urged while all the stars in the sky blazed to life in his mind. “Please. Come with me.”
But she needed no urging. She moaned his name, shock plain on her features. A shudder racked her torso as her breath came in ragged pants. They tumbled over the edge together and for what seemed like minutes Ryan shook with pleasure as his orgasm shocked his system over and over.
His muscles failed him and Ryan dropped onto his elbows, somehow managing at the last second to spare Zoe the full crush of his weight.
A curse rattled through his unsettled thoughts. What the hell had just happened?
“That was absolutely amazing,” she declared unsteadily, her fingers gliding over his shoulder. “You are a wonder.”
He was a wonder? Did she have any idea what she had just done to him?
Ryan rolled them across the mattress until she lay sprawled in languorous repose atop his chest. Tangling his fingers in her hair, he tugged until she met his gaze. The contact was brief and unsatisfying.
“You’re magnificent.”
