“I could change that.”
I chuckle. “No, you couldn’t.”
“Don’t tell me you have something against them, because I hate to break it to you, but I have themeverywhere.”
I’m tempted to ask her if she really meanseverywhere, but I don’t. “No, it’s not that. I’m . . . scared of needles.”
Lily laughs.
“Don’t laugh! It’s true, I don’t even get anesthesia at the dentist. I—”
“It’s cute. I think it’s really cute,” she says.
We engulf one another in an embrace. Kissing deeply again, but there’s no hurry. No rush. We are taking our time because the night is young. There is no pretense that this isn’t real. There isn’t a boundary I’m afraid to cross.
Tonight, we can give and take with abandon.
We kiss until we’re falling onto the bed. I’m careful not to crush her, but Lily pulls me close, wanting all my weight and closeness. Her center is blisteringly hot against my thigh. Already wet.
Lily slides her hand between us and takes my cock in her hand, stroking upward with a tight grip with slowness until she reaches the leaking head.
I groan, lifting myself to watch her hand travel up my length. I’ve wanted her,this,so badly for so long, I’m not sure I can take my time. I might lose myself too quickly.
“What can I do for you, Jackson?” she asks.
So many things. But if she takes me in her mouth, I’m a lost cause, and if she keeps touching me . . .
She presses her thumb underneath the head, and I shudder, digging my fingers into the swell of her hips. “Goddammit, Lil, I just want to be inside.”
We exchange the same breath for a few moments.
“I have condoms. In my room. I’ll have to go get them, but—”
“Don’t,” Lily says urgently. “You can pull out.”
I’m hit first by the prospect of being in her unsheathed. This makes my cock stiffen even more if that were possible. And then I’m hit by the reality of it all. “We’re not teenagers, Lily, you know that’s—”
“Jackson, don’t be all responsible right now,” she says, and she’s way too fucking convincing for her own good. “I’ll take Plan B tomorrow if you’re scared, just . . .please.”
Not theplease.
She traces her fingers across my cheek. “Let me feel you.”
I’m already done for. She doesn’t have to beg. I’ll be in her bare if that’s what she wants even though we both are old enough not to take risks. But the risk adds another layer of arousal. A mistake could change the entire story. That mistake would unify us far beyond what either of us have agreed to tonight.
It’s a risk I’m willing to take.
I move my hips back and find her wet center with my length. I rest against the cleft, coating her in her natural lubricant. I lick my fingers and reach between us, finding the sensitive nub of her clit. I can tell I’ve got it right by the way her body jolts, and she lets out a breathless laugh.
“This is crazy,” she says.
Her body shudders again, her hips pressing against my cock. I need to be inside. “We can stop,” I say, though I would have to go immediately relieve myself of this aching erection.
Lily shakes her head vehemently. “No, no, definitely don’t do that.”
I smile and lock my eyes with hers. “You tell me when you’re about to come.”
Lily’s eyes flash.
