I tugged at his hair, breath hitching as he swirled his tongue around my nipple. I needed more, and needed it now.

Adrian made a sound of pleasure in the back of his throat as his lips continued their descent down the soft rolls of my stomach. With each kiss, he tugged my pants down my thighs, knuckles teasing my heated skin.

Pants gone, I was left only in panties—thankfully, nicer than my bra—but he didn’t seem to care. Adrian kissed me over the fabric as he settled between my knees, pushing them further apart. He hooked his thumbs into the waistband of my panties, pulling them down and kissing down my thighs. My stomach clenched at the onslaught of desire.

I shivered in anticipation as my panties hit the ground. “Adrian,” I whimpered, my fingers moving of their own accord to the wetness between my thighs. “Please.”

Gods, I’d never needed to feel a release so badly. Everything in me was burning up, stuck between need and passion, caught up in the little kisses he planted over my skin.

I needed him; his mouth between my legs, tongue pushing me over the edge of pleasure.

“I love it when you beg,” he said, his voice dipping into a growl that sent shivers down my spine.

Our eyes met as he dipped down, his green eyes hooded with desire. Adrian chuckled, capturing my hand before it could enter the slickness of my pussy, pushing me down onto the bed as his head finally dipped between my thighs.

“Good girl. You’re already so wet for me, so needy.” The first brush of his tongue against my clit almost had me exploding. A breathy moan slipped past my lips as Adrian parted my folds and swept his tongue through the slickness, swirling his tongue lazily around my throbbing clit. The hand that had been holding me down slid over my stomach to my thigh as he tugged me closer.

“I’m going to make you scream my name, sweetheart.”

Oh, that I believed. A soft‘yes’ passed my lips. My hips bucked against his tongue as he sucked on my clit, the burn of release coiling within me. He dipped two fingers inside of me, the pressure almost enough to tear me apart.

Adrian pumped his fingers as his tongue continued its assault on my clit, dragging me closer and closer to my release. “Adrian,” I moaned, tangling one hand into his hair, keeping him close as the pressure built.

His fingers curled inside of me. “Gods, you’re so tight,” he murmured, tongue lapping at my desire. “You’re going to come for me, sweetheart.”

As he pumped harder and his mouth captured my clit again, my vision blurred, hips rocking to meet each thrust of his fingers. My orgasm exploded, and I could hear myself calling his name, but my ears rang with the build-up of pressure that shuddered through me.

Adrian pulled free of me; my head fell back against the pillows as I blinked away the stars dancing in the corner of my vision. When was the last time I orgasmed that hard with stimulation likethat?Honestly, I couldn’t remember.

I blinked slowly as Adrian got to his knees; he wasn’t looking at me, but at his glistening fingers, wet with my release. I sucked in a sharp breath as he licked each digit, a smile unfurling across those devious lips.

“You taste like fucking sunshine.” Adrian groaned, crawling so that he could hover over me. “We should leave it there, sweetheart, otherwise I’ll want to do more, and I’d rather it be a little more romantic.”

My breath sounded sharp in my own ears as he hovered over me, our noses touching. My body begged for more, needy for his touch as desire warmed my blood and pooled in my belly once more. “You have way better self-control than I do. Because I would definitely be willing to go all the way tonight.”

Adrian grinned down at me, brushing a stray hair off my forehead. “Gods, you’re beautiful,” he whispered, capturing my lips again.

I moaned against his mouth as his tongue brushed against the seam of mine, begging for entrance. I gave in immediately, enjoying each soft caress of his lips.

The buzz of his phone broke our kiss; he cursed under his breath and rolled off of me, taking the warmth of his body with him. As he checked his messages, I grabbed my discarded pants and shimmied them back on, fixing the tank over my chest.

From the other side of the bed, Adrian sighed, running a hand through his hair. “I need to go. There’s an emergency, and as much as I would love to ignore it and just stay here with you, I need to deal with it.” His eyes found mine, and the smile he offered me was tense. “You still have a book to finish, too.”

“Right,” I whispered, glancing between him and the laptop still waiting for me. His eyes darkened with worry as he reached for my hand, pulling my fingers to his lips. “Go, I’m more than fine.”

“Alright,” he murmured, rolling off the bed. He rounded it to stand in front of me, placing his hands either side of my cheeks. “I will make this up to youafteryou kick this book’s ass.”

Grinning, I turned my head slightly and kissed the palm of his hand. “Well, at least I’m not stuck anymore.”

He chuckled, shaking his head as he released my face. Gathering the rest of his things, I followed him to the door of my room, and watched him step out in the hall, fingers flying across the screen of his phone, lips pulled down in a tense frown.

“Thank you for coming by.”

He looked up, features softening. “Thanks for trusting me with this part of you.”

My breath caught in my throat as he turned and walked, disappearing into the mouth of the elevator. I closed the door behind him and leaned my forehead against the white paint.

What a night.
