Tempting the Crown (The Crown 1)

I nodded. “It’s ok. I love you means no pressure.” I whimpered when he pushed his cock to my entrance.

“Fuck, Emily. You just made everything complicated.”

My eyes flared. “No. It’s not.” My hips jerked forward to show him that I accepted what was between us, no matter if he said it or not.

His hands took mine overhead. “You know you drive me fucking insane?”

I nodded. “Yes.” My voice was breathy.

“And your body is like my drug?”

I nodded again. “God, yes.”

His fingers curled against my knuckles as he started to push inside me.

“And I don’t think it was an option not to fall in love with you.”

He thrust with powerful force as my body wrapped around him. My heart seized. My blood pumped faster than before. It was the complete ecstasy of Vaughn possessing me and hearing the words simultaneously.

I lost gravity. I lost my hold on reality as his body took mine. He lifted my ass against the wall and I straddled him with my other leg. He surged inside me with strong strokes. Each one pinning me against the tile with more urgency than the last.

“Why did you say it?” he panted, kissing my throat.

He pushed inside me. “Ohh,” I cried. I had no way to support myself or gain traction. Vaughn held me as I slid up and down at his will.

“I’m leaving tonight,” he repeated.

“I know.” I found words. “I love you. I do.”

I touched the rippled lines of biceps and dug my fingertips into the skin on his shoulders.

My body tightened as my core shook with the last threads of resistance. The orgasm had built to epic proportions. Vaughn reached between my legs, caressing my clit and I lost it.

“Vaughn,” I screamed into the shower as the last wall collapsed and the orgasm broke free.

“Fuck,” he growled pumping harder and faster.

I rode him wildly, abandoning fears. I clung to him, grasping for more of his skin. His back. His arms. His hands splayed on the wall behind me as he pushed deep, giving in to his own release.

I sucked in gulps of air. The water splattered off his shoulders, hitting my cheeks.

His head hung against my neck. “Fuck.”

I raised his head so that I could stare in his eyes. “I don’t like that you have to leave, but I think I like goodbye sex.” I smiled shyly.

He lowered my legs to the floor. He kissed me, sucking and biting my lips. The flutter in my core returned. I didn’t know anything for sure, but I didn’t know how this could be anything but love.

We opened our eyes.

“I have to go soon.”

“Will you call me when you get where you’re going?” I asked.

“I don’t know if I’ll be able to.” He turned around and reached for the shampoo.

I leaned into his back, circling my arms around his chest while my cheek rested on his back. I loved how he felt under my palms.

“Maybe a text or a message. I have that international app. I can give you my username.” I had added it to my phone just for him.
