“Ace it?” She shook her head. “I just want to pass.”
“You will. I just know it.” He stared at her with his forest-green eyes, making her tingle.
“Thank you for believing in me.” Unable to look away, she leaned in and kissed him on the cheek. “I really am glad you came over tonight to help me study.”
“Me, too.” He pulled her in close and pressed his mouth to hers.
With not even a drop of hesitation left inside her, she melted into the kiss, enjoying the taste of him on her lips again. She felt him touch her breasts, and a shiver ran up and down her spine. The right thing to do was to put the brakes on, but her body wasn’t listening to reason. Being in his arms again felt so good, so familiar. She’d missed this so much.
He deepened the kiss, tangling his tongue with hers. Happy memories of her time with him flooded her mind as his hands roamed over her body.
He removed her PJ top, exposing her naked breasts. When he brushed her nipples with his fingers, a spark shot through her, igniting her desires for him that had been pushed down for the past couple of months. There was no possible way for her to stop now. She had to have him inside her. It had been too long. Burning from head to toe with want, she pulled his T-shirt off of him and tossed it to the coffee table.
He caressed her breasts and licked her neck. The pressure began to build inside her. She was crazed with thirst, and he was the only drink that could satisfy her need. He moved down and began licking her breasts, applying just the right touch, setting her on fire even more. When he captured one of her nipples between his teeth, he reached down and removed her PJ bottoms. With only caresses, he guided her to stretch out on the sofa. She obeyed his silent command willingly. He stripped out of his boots and jeans, placing them next to his discarded T-shirt on the coffee table. She stole a quick glance at his cock, which she knew intimately. He was rock hard, every inch of him.
He climbed on top of her, pinning her down to the sofa. She could feel the moisture between her thighs.
After laving her breasts, he kissed his way down her body to her pussy. She reacted like a wild woman, thrashing under him, totally out of control. He ran his tongue over her wet folds before circling her clit. The sensations he was creating in her rolled through every inch of her body, taking her completely over.
“Oh God,” she whimpered. “So good.”
Her words seemed to excite him even more, and the oral pleasure he was giving her intensified. When he sucked on her clit, she could no longer hold back.
“Yes. God. Yes.” The time without him was over, and she drowned him in her drops of pleasure.
He licked up every drop, holding her legs over his shoulders.
“I need you in me, Nic,” she said, trembling. “Please.”
He looked up from between her legs and smiled. She could see her cream glistening on his lips.
“And I want to be inside you, sweetheart.” He stood and reached into the pocket of his jeans, pulling out a condom.
He rolled the rubber down his thick shaft, and then got back on top of her. She loved the feel of his body on hers. She heard him moan as he slipped his cock into her pussy. As he stretched her insides, electricity spread throughout her body, sending her into overdrive.
He thrust into her again and again. She clawed at his back, wrapping her legs around him. It felt so good to be with him again, enjoying the pleasure he gave her. Her body’s movements synced with his. Her pussy ached and her clit throbbed. Each time he sent his cock into her, she got nearer to the edge. She was mad with desire. She needed release.
“I’m close,” she panted out. “So close.”
“I’m close, too.” His thrust became more powerful, more fierce. She could see the primal hunger reflected in his eyes as he drove deeper and deeper into her.
All at once the pressure inside her burst and she climaxed violently. Every part of her shook and she felt her pussy contracting around his cock.
He let out a hot groan before sending his cock into her depths in one final thrust. “Fuck. Yes, baby. So good.”
He collapsed on top of her, and she loved feeling his muscled frame covering her body. She could feel her heart beating wildly inside her. She placed her hand on his chest and could feel his heart pounding ferociously, too.
“Nic, I’ve missed this so much.”
His eyes narrowed. “You’re mine, Ashley. All mine. No one else’s. Forever.”
She felt like the wind had been knocked out of her. “No one else’s? You still don’t get it, do you, Nic?” She could feel the tears well up in her eyes. “I was so certain after tonight’s date that you finally understood. But now I know you don’t.”
“Ashley, I love you.” The confusion she’d witnessed from him when they’d broken up had returned to his face. “Don’t you love me?”
“You know I do, but you also know I love Sylas. I think you’ve known that since we saw each other last in Chicago.”
“I can’t share you, Ashley.” Nic’s tone was deep with emotion. He seemed to be choosing his words carefully. “How does a man share the woman of his dreams with another man, even if that man happens to be his best friend?”
