Page 137 of Dare To Fall

“Not last night?”

“I was kind of busy fucking you into the mattress last night.” He growls and bites down on my shoulder.

The sharp pain makes me gasp and my eyes roll back. “You need to ask him.”

“Don’t worry about it.”

I dig my nails into his back under his hoodie and claw them down his spine. He moans.

“After everything that’s happened, I can’t help but worry about it.”

His breath ghosts against my lips, but he stops short of kissing me. “They would have found a way to contact you by now. There have been no notes in your locker. No unknown messages to your new number.”

“It’s only been three days since we got back from spring break.”

Eli silences me with a kiss, tongue plunging into my mouth. He cups my cheeks, savaging my lips until my toes curl.

He rips his mouth away from mine. “Fuck, Ari. What are you doing to me?”

A rustling noise and foil tearing is followed by him flipping up my skirt in the dark. A hand touches the heat between my legs and pushes my panties aside. I clutch his shoulders, and moan as the tip of his cock invades my pussy. He doesn’t stop until he’s seated as deeply as he’ll go. My inner walls clench around him, and I savor the way his cock feels inside me.

He drops his head to my shoulder. “Let’s stay like this forever.”

“I know you’re just trying to distract me.” I moan as he thrusts slowly in and out of me.

“This is not a distraction.”

“We were only going to make out. You don’t want me to think about the texts.”

Eli’s hands move to my hips. “Kellan is handling it.”

I kiss and nip my way up to his jaw. “I want to know what’s going on.”

“It’s not your concern.”

I exhale. “Eli—”

His pace doesn’t change, thrusting in and out in languid, torturous movements as he fucks me. “All you need to think about is graduating and coming all over my dick.”

I dig my fingernails into his ass, pulling him deeper inside me. “You can’t use sex as an excuse not to tell me anything.”

“It’s not an excuse.”

“I’m not going to let you keep me out of the loop.”

Eli’s grip tightens roughly around my hips. “If I don’t tell you, you don’t really have any choice.”

“That’s not fair.”

“Kitten, after everything you went through, I don’t want to see you getting hurt all over again.”

I swear I can hear a smile in his voice, but it only fuels my irritation. “I’m stronger than I was before.”

His movements pick up speed, making the bench creak beneath me. “I know you are, but that doesn’t stop me from wanting to protect you.”

I close my eyes, losing myself in the pleasure building inside me. “You can’t protect me from everything.”

“Maybe not, but I can from this.”
