Chasing Ella (Love Ever After 1)

He sucks in a deep breath, his chest rising and falling with each groan that escapes his lips. I have never seen him so focused before, his eyes full of hunger and determination.

My muscles tighten around him, just as he picks up the pace, and I come undone beneath him. Chills shoot straight through my body, followed by a wave of heat that spreads from my cheeks to my toes. After I come again, it’s not much longer before Shawn loses control.

He collapses on top of me and kisses my lips before rolling onto the mattress next to me. Neither of us can speak, still out of breath. I rest my head on his chest, and Shawn hooks his arm around me.

“How are you feeling?” He plants soft kisses on my forehead.

“I don’t know, ask me in ten minutes,” I joke, and we both laugh.

“You said it was okay to keep going. I hope I didn’t hurt you.”

“No, you were perfect. This night was perfect. I’m glad I waited for you, Shawn. You made this night special for me.”

He sits up enough to cup my face in his big hand and slips his tongue into my mouth. “I love you,” he mutters between kisses.

Finally, everything in my life is falling into place, and it all started with Shawn. I could never have predicted that my one hundred day countdown to freedom would ever involve the man of my dreams. All I’d wanted was one kiss. I remind myself every day how lucky I am that my man is not the type to give up easily.

“True or false?” I ask once our lips separate. He smiles at my words and the game he’d started. “You want to go again?”

“You know it, babe,” he says with a wink. “But you should probably give yourself some time.”

“I don’t need it.” I reach over to grab his cock in my hand and give him a few pumps. He was already hard before I touched him.

Shawn makes a hissing sound as I glide my hand down his sensitive skin, feeling every inch of hi

m between my fingers. His groans of pleasure and the pure look of ecstasy in his eyes go straight to my core. After all the times Shawn has made me come, I want to do the same for him. But he has other plans.

In one swift motion, he pins me down and positions himself between my legs, making me lose my train of thought once he’s inside me. I follow the advice Shawn has given me in the past and just live in the moment. No more thinking. I relax and sink into him, as he owns my body over and over again.

With graduation around the corner, my grades are up, and it’s all because of Ella.

After all the hard work, we plan to take this weekend to relax and enjoy what time we have left of the school year. Ella hadn’t experienced much before we had met me, but freedom has done her wonders.

Spring Formal was never a big deal for me. In previous years, I would take whatever chick didn’t annoy me too much and drown myself in alcohol and sex. Not until Ella showed me different sides to both life and myself did I realize that I was missing so many things.

Sitting next to Ella at dinner, I squeeze her hand under the table and smile. She returns my gesture, despite looking as though she wants to puke. All week, Ella was a nervous wreck about hanging out with my fraternity brothers and their dates. You can tell which of my brothers have serious girlfriends by how we divided ourselves up between the tables. Half of the long dining room in the mountain lodge is calm, while the other side is an extension of my house on a Saturday night.

A few girls are trying out there hand at giving lap dances to a few of my brothers, while others are pounding shots like it’s New Year's Eve and the ball is about to drop. Most of the guys brought along a random chick, same as I would have done if I had even bothered to show at all. Being here with Ella and having a girl who I love and who loves me back is far more important to me than getting drunk and hooking up.

I lean over to whisper into Ella’s ear and slip my hand behind her back. “Do you want to go to the club or is this too much for you?”

She bites down on her bottom lip, thinking it over. If this is too much for her, then the club isn’t going to get any better and neither are the ragers we throw in our rooms until morning. Fraternities have traditions, and Spring Formal is one of them. The off-campus events tend to get even more out of hand than the normal weekend parties we throw.

“I guess we should go,” she says in a hushed tone. “I’m supposed to be experiencing life and all, right?”

“I’ve done this a million times with these guys. No pressure if you’re not feeling up to it.”

She pats my thigh and rests her hand on my knee. “No, we should go. This is your last year with your brothers and a new experience for me. The whole point of us coming here is to have fun and for me to break out of my shell.”

I graze my lips along her ear. “Then let down your hair down, Princess. If you wanna party like a rock star, then you’ve come to the right place. Nobody throws a better party than Delta Sig.”

She laughs and tilts her head to the side, brushing her cheek against mine. “Teach me your ways, Jedi Party Master.”

“Enough of that nerdy stuff, tutor girl. You’re losing cool points by the minute.”

“You haven’t called me tutor girl since the first time I yelled at you.”
