“Oh…God…Ethan! Ughh!!” I screamed out incoherently with my eyes squeezed shut. I pushed my hips up to meet his and pulled him deeper inside. With my legs wrapped around his waist, the sensations rocketed through my body. My eyes slowly opened back to his.

“So beautiful,” Ethan said, his eyes still locked on mine. “I could do this to you for hours, just to watch your face when you come.”

I’m sure I blushed but was distracted by the movement between us and started watching him move back and forth, in and out of me as my muscles tightened in my legs, and Ethan increased his speed. Slipping my hands from his back to his chest, I ran my thumbs over both of his nipples, right before catching the rings between two fingers and pulling gently on them.

Ethan gasped, bucked into me and—quite literally—screamed.

“Oh fuck! Fuck! Yeah! Oh God, Ashlyn! Ashlyn!” He slammed his hips against me, his hand wrapping around my backside and pulling me up against him as he thrust harder. I felt his entire body shudder right before he collapsed on top of me.

“Holy Mary, Mother of God,” he mumbled. “I’m not Catholic, but I feel like I ought to go confess to something!”

I bit down on my lip, trying to stop the smile from breaking free.

“Christ, that was fucking incredible!”

“You’re incredible,” I said, sliding my feet over his rear end and then down the backs of his thighs.

Ethan raised his head and looked at me again, his lips curling up in a beautiful smile and his hair hanging in his eyes. I reached up and brushed it off his forehead.

“I’m so glad I’m here with you,” he said. His smile dropped suddenly and his voice became dark. “I didn’t think we’d ever…I didn’t…fuck. I don’t ever want to lose you.”

“I don’t want to lose you either,” I said, wrapping my arms back around him and holding his chest against mine. “I was a complete mess today without you.”

“I thought…well, I didn’t know what to think. I was so upset, but I also missed you so much. I know that doesn’t even make any sense when we’ve only known each other a couple of days, but thinking about not seeing you anymore was just downright painful.”

“I missed you, too,” I said. “Everything happened so fast, and then you were gone, and I couldn’t take it back. I looked and looked for you, but I couldn’t find you anywhere.”

“How did you find Gwen and CeeCee’s place?”

“Alfero told me where they lived.”

“I’m going to have to find some way to thank him,” Ethan said. “Though honestly, I probably would have gone looking for you eventually. Even though I was mad, I hated not seeing you.”

“You had every right to be mad.”

“I still shouldn’t have taken off like that,” Ethan said. “I should have given you more of a chance.”

“I didn’t deserve one,” I whispered. I tried to keep the tears from coming back. “I’m just glad you were willing to talk to me again…give me another chance.”

“I am, too.”

Ethan pulled me close to him, kissing my closed eyes, then my nose and my lips. He moved his hands to my hips, his fingers gripping my skin as the kiss deepened, and I tugged at his hair. We rolled together until he was on top of me, kissing me slowly and completely, his fingers trailing up and down my sides. He turned his head suddenly, resting his forehead on my shoulder for a moment before sitting up and looking down at me.

“I should probably go,” Ethan said with another blush. “You still have schoolwork to do, and it’s getting late.”

“You could stay,” I said softly. I bit my bottom lip but forced myself to release it. Ethan smiled his half smile.

“I told everyone I was just taking you home. I’m already going to have to dodge all their questions about why it took so long.”

“Oh, yeah,” I said. “I didn’t think about that.”

“I’d rather stay,” he said. He ran his fingers down the length of my bare arm, sending chills through my body. “I definitely want to see you tomorrow if that’s okay.”

“Definitely okay,” I told him. Then I remembered tomorrow was Tuesday. “Oh…shit.”

“What?”

“I’m supposed to see my dad tomorrow.”
