Page 54 of Follow My Heart

Her lips opened slightly, and it was the only invitation I needed. I lowered my mouth to hers, lightly at first as if asking permission, and when her mouth opened more, my tongue slipped inside. I swallowed her moan as her arms wrapped around my neck, and she pressed her body against mine.

Her nipples were hard. She couldn’t be wearing a bra under my shirt, and I wanted to run my hand under the thin material. I wanted to feel her warm skin, jump and spasm under my touch.

It was too soon though. I couldn’t get ahead of myself. I was supposed to be playing the long game.

I forced myself to ease back, to give her a few light kisses. Then pulled away.

“I’ll let you get some sleep.”

Violet’s gaze tracked me as I crossed the room and turned the knob to leave.

“Would you stay with me for a bit?” Violet asked.

“In the bed?” I tipped my head toward the mattress.

She licked her lips. “We don’t have to do anything. I just want you to hold me.”

“I can do that.” I turned the lock and flipped the lights off. Then I pulled my shirt over my head and shoved the jeans off my hips. When I was down to briefs, I climbed under the covers, reaching for her. She rested her head on my shoulder, and her fingers played with the hair on my chest.

I hadn’t thought about what this would feel like. How intimate it was to lie in bed with someone. My dick was already stirring.

She lifted up slightly so she could place light kisses on my chest. Then she moved the blanket lower.

I sucked in a breath. “What are you doing?”

Violet hesitated. “I wanted to make you feel good.”

My dick jerked at the idea, but that wasn’t the plan for tonight. “That’s my job, isn’t it?”

Before Violet could respond, I’d flipped us so that she was on her back. I inched her shirt up so that her stomach was visible. I rested between her legs, kissing her, moving up until her breasts were exposed.

I sucked on one nipple, then the other.

She held onto my hair with one hand, her body writhing underneath me. She apparently loved nipple play, and I wanted to make her feel good.

“May I?” My hands hovered on the waist band of her sweats. It wouldn’t take much to pull them down. They were loose.

“Please.” Violet said, wetting her lips.

I eased them over her hips while she reared up and removed the shirt. She hadn’t been wearing anything under my clothes.

The reality of her naked in my bed had my cock leaking.

I had a flash of concern when I realized I hadn’t been with anyone other than my ex since we were in college. I should have been nervous or out of my element, but with Violet, it felt right.

Both of us were vulnerable in this position. Neither of us wanted to get hurt. Somehow that made everything more heightened.

Her legs spread wider as I eased between them, my hands lifting her ass, breathing her in. She was fresh from the shower, but I detected her musky scent, and it was driving me crazy.

I had to taste her. To see if she tasted as sweet as I thought she would.

At the first lick, she gasped. At the second, she arched toward my mouth. She was so responsive, so into this moment.

I wanted to make her feel good. I didn’t want her to regret her decision to take this step with me. To trust me with her body. “I’ll take care of you.”

Then I dove in, licking and sucking before using my finger to ease inside her. Her walls clamped tight around me, and her fingers twisted the sheets beneath us.

I wanted her to cry out my name. I used a second finger, lifting my head as she moaned, her body arching off the bed, and then she erupted into a million spasms. I rode her through the orgasm, lightening the pressure only when she became sensitive.
