She kissed him. This time, she was the one that kept it soft. Gentle. It was the most perfect thing he’d ever experienced.

“So will you try?” she asked.

His heartbeat sped up at what she asked. “We shouldn’t force it. I don’t want to do anything to hurt you, Skylar.”

“I know. That’s why it has to be you.” She opened her legs as she shifted on him, but frowned when she found him soft below her. “I’m sorry. I killed the mood, didn’t I?”

“You didn’t do anything wrong.” Damon’s hands slid down to cup her face, his thumbs tracking over her cheeks. “I love being with you in any form that takes.”

“Please, Damon.” Her eyes squeezed shut. “I hate feeling broken.”

The vulnerable side of her got to him even faster than the sexy side, but for this to work, she’d need both. “What if I touch you like before?” His fingers traced down the sides of her neck.

Skylar shivered. “I forgot how sensitive my neck was.”

Damon’s heart was going to break. He leaned in, kissing where he had touched, and she moved her head to give him more access. He didn’t bite. Instead, he kept each brush of his lips gentle, a barely there caress.

She moaned a little, grabbing at his head. “Why do kisses like that make me feel like my chest is being fucking crushed?” She kept him there when he started to pull back.

It sounded to him like she was confessing her love. “Is that a good feeling?” he asked.

“God, yes. Just touch me, however you want.”

His hands mapped her back, stopping well above her ass before sliding up, skimming past the sides of her breasts and then down her arms. He repeated the caresses more and more. His lips continued to skim, up to her ear, down her neck, all the way to her collarbone, before doing the same to her other side.

Skylar pressed herself against him down below as she lifted from him enough to free her breasts. The nipples had tightened again. “Please,” she begged.

His palms rasped over her chest and dragged out a pant from between her lips. He swirled and nudged, then cupped one of her breasts so his mouth could close around her nipple.

She shifted against him restlessly down below when he began to suck. A small nip had a flush staining her chest. “Fuck, do that again.”

Just like her ear and neck, she enjoyed gentle bites. When he released her, she started to protest, but quieted as soon as he took her other nipple into his mouth.

Her body was moving against him. He hadn’t gotten completely hard. Worry beat at him even as Skylar seemed to lose herself.

His hand slid down her side before slipping between their bodies. He bit her breast again to distract her. Skylar’s underwear was soaked, but that could have been from her prior orgasm. He dipped his hand under the elastic, bypassing her clit and seeking her entrance instead.

She was wet. He lifted his head from her breast to stare into her eyes.

Skylar lowered until her forehead pressed against his. “I’m okay. I want this.”

His fingers swirled, making her breath catch. He slipped them inside. “Let’s start with what we’re sure you like.”

She surged against his hand, taking him deeper. Her hands sank into his hair as she stared at him. He curled the way she liked, working into her faster. Sexy cries filled his ears as she moved with him. Her lips captured his, and she sucked on his tongue as her body wound tighter. He swallowed her gasp as she climaxed. Her eyes squeezed shut when his fingers drew it out as long as they could. Their lips parted, and her panting breath fluttered across his mouth.

When her eyes opened, he searched them. “Are you still okay with this?”

“Yeah,” she said. “Please, touch it.”

“You’re in charge here, Skylar. Tell me to stop at any time.” His fingers slipped out of her, absorbing her tremor before sliding up and over her clit.

Her body shook, and he paused. “Okay?”

She swallowed, nodding. “More.”

He repeated the movement, his finger still wet from being inside her. When he swirled, her eyes started to shut.

“No, open,” he murmured, pausing. “I need to see.”
