Her question took him off guard for a second until he saw her face break into a smile. She started to laugh through her tears. Kenny looked down at her smile and let out a relieved laugh. She would make a joke at a time like this. He grabbed her cheeks and bent down to kiss her. Over and over again, he quickly kissed her lips, her cheeks, her forehead. And she let him, laughing and crying tears of happiness all the while.

Chapter 29

Cleo

Cleo couldn’t help but laugh as Kenny covered her face in kisses. Now, instead of crying tears of sadness, they were turning to tears of happiness. She never thought he would be here again, let alone kissing her. She kept her eyes shut tight as his lips brushed quickly against her eyelids and onto her cheeks. She had never seen this side of him before. This playful and affectionate side.

She had also not seen the side of him that he shared so personally. The hurt she heard in his voice as he recounted his past was too much to bear. She had kept her back turned because if she were to have seen his face, it would have broken her. Cleo had no idea of his past, and now she knew everything. It felt like she was let into some secret club where there were very few members, and she felt grateful for the pieces he shared with her.

She couldn’t imagine someone hurting him the way his ex had. Cleo silently cursed her for messing with his heart so carelessly. On top of all that, he had a father who had practically shunned him. What Kenny had been through was so far from anything she had been through in life. It made sense as to why he could be closed off, even though it had broken her heart. What was she to expect from someone whose heart had been dropped so many times?

Kenny stopped kissing her and she opened her eyes to look up at him. He had a soft smile on his lips as his eyes studied her face. His palms felt warm against her cheeks. God, he was handsome. She bit her lip expectantly as she waited for his next move. He trailed his thumb across her cheek and down to her lip, pulling it from her teeth. She kissed his fingers slowly.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath before opening them again quickly. There was a different look to him now. A lustfulness in his warm brown eyes. She felt it wash over her, and the skin on the back of her neck prickled. Before she knew it, his hands were in her hair and his lips were on hers. Her mouth parted to allow his searching tongue to find hers and mesh together. She moved her hands up to his head and her fingers tangled in his unruly hair.

She desperately needed him closer as their tongues massaged against each other. She pulled him toward her and he gladly followed until her back hit the banister of the stairs. He pressed his body against hers. She could feel him growing hard against her. It made her feel powerful. It made her feel incredibly sexy. It made her wet.

Cleo untangled her fingers from his hair and moved her hands to his strong chest. Kenny’s mouth left hers and traveled to her neck. He kissed her along her collarbone before trailing his tongue up just below her jaw and up to her earlobe. She shuddered at the sensation. Her hands trailed down his hard stomach and she grazed her fingertips against his growing erection. He looked down at her hungrily. She smiled up at him as she massaged her palm against him. He shook his head at her as she teased him through his sweats.

“Do you even know what you do to me?” he asked breathlessly.

She shook her head slowly, looking up at him, feeling him grow harder in her hand.

Suddenly, as if he couldn’t take it anymore, he picked her up and she wrapped her legs around his waist. She squealed with delight as he headed up the stairs. She tried not to think about how much she weighed, but he walked up the steps with ease. His muscles against her felt hot. Stupidly hot.

He carried her to her bedroom, gently swinging the door open with his foot. Her arms clutched his neck as he swiftly walked to her bed. He set her down so she was standing at the edge of the bed, facing him as he towered over her. He looked as if he didn’t know where to start. She looked at him coyly, wondering what his next move would be.

He moved his hands to the hem of her shirt and pulled it up and off, revealing her large breasts that sat cupped by her black lace bra. He looked at her admiringly as his hands cupped her breasts, squeezing them gently. She could feel her nipples growing hard against his palms. Feeling them hard against him, he kneaded them between his fingertips gently. She leaned her head back and arched her back with pleasure.

She felt his warm breath against her breasts as his hand traveled to her back, unhooking her bra. It fell to the floor as her breasts spilled out before him. She lifted her head and looked at him. His eyes were taking her in, and soon his mouth was wet against her breast. Kenny’s tongue swirled against one nipple before moving to the next. His eyes were on her the whole time. Holy fuck. This is hot.

Cleo ran her hands through his hair as he continued kissing her breasts, sucking and licking her supple skin. She couldn’t take much more of this and moved her hands to his neck and pulled him down to the bed with her. She lay against the plush mattress as he propped his arms up on either side of her. Kenny bent down and ran his tongue against her breasts again before moving lower. His lips and breath brushed against her stomach, causing her breath to hitch.

She propped herself up on her elbows for a better view. He watched her as he continued moving his mouth down, stopping at the waistband of her jeans. He unbuttoned them and grabbed her hips, lifting them up as he pulled on her jeans. He shimmied them off and tossed them aside as she lowered her hips back down to the bed.

His gaze moved over her entire body. Instead of feeling self-conscious, she felt wanted. She enjoyed every second of it. She wanted to see him too. She sat up slowly and tugged at the hem of his sweatshirt.

“My turn,” she said, looking up at him.

He let out a little laugh as he pulled his sweatshirt up and over his head, revealing his six pack. Her eyes took in his chest, his abs, his V. She leaned back and admired him. This man wanted her. Why? She didn’t know, but she sure as hell could get off on the way he looked at her.

He climbed on to the bed, his eyes never leaving hers. He lay on his side as he faced her. She turned her face toward him and he kissed her softly, running his tongue over her lips. She felt his hand graze against her thigh, his fingers barely touching her as they moved upward. Her skin broke out in goosebumps. Then his fingers were against her panties. They moved lightly against her. Cleo lifted her hips to meet his hand needily. He applied a little more pressure, massaging against the lace of her panties. She could feel herself wet against him.

Kenny pressed against her as he continued kissing her, his tongue moving in sync with his fingers. His hand created a delicious friction against the lace of her panties. She moaned into his mouth. She wanted more. She needed it. He got the message. Kenny grabbed her panties and pulled them to the side. He dipped a finger into her with ease, causing her to let out another moan. He pulled his finger slowly out of her, swirling his palm against her clit before dipping his finger back in.

She struggled to hold it together. She wanted to orgasm with him inside her, filling her, but it felt so good. But she was hungry for more. She shimmied her hips away from him, and moved away from his searching fingers. She pushed him onto his back roughly, taking him by surprise. A good surprise. Kenny watched as she slid her panties off and climbed toward him. She lowered herself onto him, straddling him. His sweats were still on, but that didn’t stop her from grinding against him. She watched as he watched her rub herself against him slowly.

“Fuck. Cleo.”

She bit her lip as she pressed her hands against his chest, continuing to move against him. When she was close to the edge, she lifted herself off him and tugged at the waistband of his sweats. She pulled them off quickly as his erection jutted out. She sucked in a breath just looking at it. Cleo lowered herself so her mouth was just inches away and looked at him as she licked her lips before placing them on the tip of his shaft. She parted them slightly, taking him in inch by inch. His eyes rolled back in his head as she ran her tongue under the base. She began moving her mouth up and down in a slow rhythm, feeling him tense in her mouth.

She continued sucking and stroking him until his hands were in her hair, pulling her toward him. She eased her mouth from him and looked at him expectantly.

“I need you now,” Kenny said desperately.

She climbed up his body, hovering over him. He lifted up and kissed her passionately. Then his hands were on her hips, his fingers digging into her plump skin and positioning her on top of him. She could feel the tip of his erection against her, and she felt herself tense and then open. She lowered herself onto him slowly, feeling just the tip of him slide inside her with ease, before lifting her hips. He looked up at her pleadingly.

Cleo smiled as she swirled her wet slit around the tip of his erection before eventually lowering herself a little more than last time. She lifted herself up again, feeling herself growing wetter and him growing harder. His hands reached for her hips again, grabbing them tightly. She was no longer in control now. She braced herself as he lifted his hips and pushed her down onto him, filling her completely. She let out a loud moan of pure pleasure. He slammed into her again, filling her even more. He kept pushing her onto him until they were both at their peaks.
