Damon’s hands paused in their massage. “I was worried I’d overstepped.”

Skylar lifted her head. The heat that had grown in her chest seemed to explode and leak out of her mouth. “I really fucking like you, Damon.”

His answering smile made it so she could breathe again. “I really like you, too, Skylar.”

Damn, that made her even warmer. “So, what? Are we saying this is a thing now? You know, you and me?” She frowned. “Because fucking like that felt different. But maybe that’s the orgasms talking?”

One of his hands moved to her hair. “It wasn’t fucking for me. It was definitely more.” The scalp massage had her head lowering into the crook of his neck.

“Oh. Okay,” she murmured. Her lips moved over his shoulder in a kiss, but she tasted copper. “Shit, I hurt you!” She started to raise her head again as she remembered the way her nails had dug into him.

Damon’s hands urged her to relax as his laugh rumbled under her ear. “You just clung really hard. I’m proud of the marks, actually.” His hand stilled in her hair. “I’ve never thought I was good at sex. I mean, you’re only my third partner.”

The idea of numbers made Skylar flush. She’d lost count a long time ago and had added scores of partners after the incident, mainly to bury the number six down deep, far from her conscious mind. “Fuck, that makes me feel like the slut he called me.”

Damon tensed against her. “Who called you a slut? Was it another of those texts?”

She’d forgotten he’d seen one of Jack’s texts. She patted his shoulder. “Down, boy. I don’t need you defending my honor. The truth is, I enjoy sex. No one is going to take that from me.” Especially not her ex, who seemed to want to so badly. Words pushed at her lips, ones that would share her fears from the day she’d had with him. She swallowed them instead. Her fingers rasped over the stubble on Damon’s cheek. “Oh, and you in no way suck, sweet face.” She lifted herself up to stare down at him. “You’re the best I’ve ever had. I said as much in those videos today, but it’s not a lie now. And that’s saying a lot, coming from me.” Her smirk didn’t sit quite right.

Damon’s finger brushed over her lips, making the attempt at glibness fall away. Damn, he could create tingles anywhere on her with his magical fingers. “I wasn’t lying before. I really, really like you, Skylar. Exactly as you are.”

Her cheeks heated, and she lowered her head to his shoulder again. She couldn’t be blushing. She didn’t blush. “Don’t get all sappy. I already said we were a thing.”

“The word you’re looking for is ‘couple.’” His arms wrapped around her in a hug that added more of that stupid ache to her chest. “But we don’t have to label it if you don’t want to.”

All the warmth, and the incredible orgasms from before, combined to make her sleepy. She snuggled into him, naked and vulnerable and yet somehow comfortable, because it was him, as she drifted off to sleep.

Chapter 24

Damon should have expected to wake up inside Skylar’s giving mouth. He loved her sensuality, just like he loved everything else about her. The word ‘like’ didn’t begin to cover it, but he’d worried saying the real word would scare her off.

She’d already aroused him close to explosion level. “You didn’t want—” The question choked off as her hand wrapped tightly around his base to pump into her mouth’s next downward stroke.

She lifted back up from him with a pop, her tongue teasing his slit before she raised her head to smirk. It sat much more naturally than it had the night before. “Did you bring another condom?”

He’d grabbed the one before from his wallet and hoped like hell their expiration dates weren’t short since he couldn’t remember how long it had been in there. The used condom had been full when he’d slipped away from her long enough to discard it before sleeping, so it had worked. “I didn’t,” he admitted.

“Then shut up and come,” Skylar said, taking him deep again. She stared into his eyes, watching his face as she used her mouth on him. Her hands slid to his ass, squeezing as she pulled him into her. The excited hum that slid from her to vibrate through his cock shook him, and he cried out as he let go.

Her tongue slid over his slit again when it was over, as if she wanted to catch every drop. Skylar’s smile was dazzling as she crawled up his body. “You have this surprised ‘O’ face. So fucking cute.”

His fingers found her wet, and he swirled around the entrance. “You next?” he asked.

Her body shimmied against his hand. “Oh. Yeah, that’d be good.” Her torso lifted as she took his fingers inside.

Damon had been paying close attention both times she’d let him do it. He curled and thrust, watching the gorgeous, red flush spread across her breasts. Seeing them for the first time the night before, he’d been mesmerized by the silky globes. He was tempted to suck her nipple into his mouth again even as he admired their perfect shape, especially their slight bounce as she shifted into his next thrust.

His eyes dropped to where they were connected. The sight of her working herself against him made his erection return. He’d love to use his mouth on her like she had on him, but trusted she knew best. He curled his fingers higher into her, adding more pressure to slide over just where she liked it. Her body gripped him as she orgasmed.

When it was over, her hands pushed into his stomach and she rose free of his touch, quivering from the loss. He brought his fingers to his mouth, deciding he could have a taste even if it wasn’t the way he wanted. Her scent made him even harder as he sucked his fingers clean, much like she had the night before.

“Fuck, that’s hot.” Skylar’s laugh was husky as she reached for her clothes, tossing his jeans to him. “Better get dressed. Mandy will be here any minute.”

The idea that her manager could have walked in on them helped his body calm down a little. “Shit! You could have warned me.” He rose to drag on his clothes.

She interrupted him with a kiss. “I wanted a taste of your sweetness again.” Her hand poked his cheek as he blushed, and then they finished getting dressed. “I didn’t factor in that you’d want to return the favor,” she said.

“Watching you orgasm is quickly becoming addictive.” Damon expected her to laugh.
