Page 96 of All Our Ghosts

I smirk and tilt my hips to give her a better angle as she shoves the waistband past my ass. Kade grips my length, sending a jolt of lightning up my spine. I dip my head forward, pressing it to her sweat-slick chest and groan as she strokes me.

“Jesus, Kade,” I huff.

“Just Kade,” she whispers against my ear but I can hear the playfulness in her voice and I have no doubt she’s grinning ear to ear right now. My hand wraps around the wrist of the hand currently wrapped around me and I find her gaze.

I stare at her for another moment before capturing her lips again, tracing my tongue over the seam of her lips until she parts them for me. She lets go of my length and I pull her to the edge of the dresser, shoving her dress up until she’s exposed to me. I line myself up and in one quick movement I slide into her.

My groan is met with a soft curse that falls from her as she pulls back. God she’s so warm and soft and feels like coming home every time I bury myself into her. The room fills with the sounds of us, my groans and her moans, creating a symphony of the words I know we both feel but are still too scared to say.

I can feel them though, sitting on the tip of my tongue as she unravels for me but now isn’t the time. When I finally say the words, I want it to mean something to her. I want it to be perfect.Fuck,when did I turn into a chick flick? I shake away the thoughts with punishing thrusts into her. Holding her closeto me as she claws at my body, grabbing any part of me she can hold on to. Soft thuds of the dresser hitting the wall mix with our moans, and I swear I hear a soft click at one point.

Kadence’s body tenses for a moment, but it isn’t from her release. I know what that feels like when she comes and she isn’t clenching me with a death grip like she normally would be, instead I hear a soft laugh and look up at her. Her eyes are focused on something to our right and as I turn my head Layla’s bright red hair comes into view. I can’t help the growl that leaves my throat as her beady eyes meet mine.

“You’re not invited,” Kadence rasps, the sound cutting off as I hit that soft spot within her. “Get out.”

My eyes never leave Layla’s. She stares at me, anger and something akin to hurt swirling in them. One of my brows lifts as Kadence’s lips find my throat, her moans drowning out the sound of the dresser hitting the wall as I continue my thrusts.

“You heard her,” I bite with a wicked smile growing on my lips. “Get. Out.” I say punctuating each word with a thrust. Layla huffs and spins to leave. “Oh, and Layla?” I say, stopping her in her tracks and waiting until her eyes find mine. “You put your hands on me or even speak a word tomyold lady, I’ll throw you out myself.”

Her features go stone. I know she’s pissed at me but she’s taking it out on Kadence and I won’t let that happen. Kadence refuses to tell me any of the shit Layla has spewed her way but after seeing it tonight, I’m sick of it. What we had was nothing more than her using me for attention in the club and myself using her as a distraction. None of it held weight.

“You can leave now,” Kadence moans against my neck and fuck if that isn’t enough to push me over the edge, the way she flutters around me as she says the words make it close.

The door slams as Layla storms off, leaving us to our euphoria. Her hands cup my face and bring my gaze back to hers.

“Don’t ever,” she starts, a moan slipping from her as she bites down on her bottom lip hard enough to draw blood, “say another woman’s name while you’re buried in me.”

I chuckle breathlessly. “Yes, ma’am.”

She smiles sweetly, so sweet that my balls tighten. “Good boy.”

“Oh, fuck,” I groan at the praise, something I haven’t ever felt, but the words tumbling from her send me flying over that cliff and taking her with me.

My hips stutter until my entire body goes stiff, releasing inside of her as she quivers and shudders with her own release. She collapses against me, breathing heavily as her face tucks into the crook of my neck.

This. This is what I’ve been chasing. A woman I never expected but one that with the simplest of touches turns my insides to mush. I’m so fucking in love with her, it almost hurts and seeing her claim me just as I have claimed her…I haven’t ever felt anything like it before.

“I can’t believe that just happened,” she whispers against my neck.

“I can. This fucking dress you have on is a walking wet dream,” I huff with a laugh, wincing as she softly rolls her hips with me still buried in her.

Kadence giggles though the sound is sultry and sated. “I meant her, but thank you.”

I pull back, cupping her face in my hands and press my lips to hers softly. I refrain from dipping my tongue into her mouth and pull back. “I’m yours, Sunflower. Ain’t no one gonna tell me differently and you,” I pause searching her eyes.

“And I’m yours,” she whispers.

A smile spreads and the feelings I have for her tangle around my soul like the most beautiful ivy. “You’re fucking incredible.”

“You getting emotional on me, Nash?” Kade smiles, tracing my bottom lip with the tip of her index finger. It forces the cornerof my mouth to lift as I take in every inch of her in that post-sex glow. Her skin is still flushed and the green in her eyes is slowly starting to come back giving light to those tiny gold flecks woven in the vibrant color.

“No.” I smile. “Maybe.”

“Since when are you the sappy one in this relationship?” She asks, dragging that same soft finger down my chin.

“Since my girlfriend turned into this badass who takes no shit from anyone.” I press my lips to her forehead and wrap my arms around her.

Kade snakes her own arms around me, tucking her head just under my chin. “I thought I was your old lady.”
