She moaned against my neck, her breath quickening once more. I felt her come right before I gave in to my own climax. It slammed into me, filling every inch of my body. The feeling was so intense it was almost brutal. A guttural groan tore from my throat, and I was done for. I couldn’t even feel my body anymore. Breathing was a challenge. Moving was impossible. I was completely spent. Eyes closed, body lax, the only thing I was aware of was Tess’s warm skin.
“Are you okay?” I whispered.
I felt her nod against my chest. “Just need a minute...or twenty.”
I chuckled, tightening my arms around her even more. “You’re amazing, you know that?”
“Hmmm...”
We were silent for a long time, and I only moved enough to get rid of the condom. Then I resumed our position, because I really liked feeling Tess on top of me.
Just as I was about to fall asleep, she pushed herself up. She was sitting on me, tracing her fingers up and down my abs. Her mouth was set in a half smile.
“What are you thinking about?” I asked.
“The best way to make you pay for hijacking my plan.”
“The three orgasms I just gave you don’t make up for that?”
“Not at all. One thing has nothing to do with the other,” she said seriously.
“Duly noted.”
Narrowing her eyes, she leaned forward, tracing her fingers up my chest.
“Hmmm...I could tickle you.”
“You don’t want to do that.”
Tess leveled me with a challenging stare and charged right for my armpits.
Fucking hell, this woman was something else. I roared with laughter, but I was too strong for her. I clenched my arms tightly at my side, and there was nothing else she could do.
With a pout, she lay next to me. I thought she might try to tickle me again, but she just kissed my shoulder before propping her head on one palm.
“What was the kiss for?” I asked.
She smiled coyly. “Not telling you.”
“Is it because you’re happy with me after all?”
“Maybe.”
“I’d say you’re very happy.”
“You really need to hear it, huh?”
“I don’t need to, but I’d like to.”
She winked. “In that case, I’ll make you wait some more.”
“Still punishing me.”
“Uh-uh. I know how to hold a grudge,” she teased.
“Come here,” I whispered, turning around and wrapping an arm around her, bringing her close. She smiled before burying her face in my neck. Sharing this bed with Tess brought me an inner balance I’d never known. I liked having her here, teasing an
d riding me.
