He crooks it, before slowly and sensually pumping in and out.

My back arches.

When he adds a second finger, it’s intense.

But fucking perfect.

I can hardly breath. Speak. It’s overwhelming.

“I love you,” Swan murmurs.

And it’s like something inside me snaps.

Swan swallows my scream with a kiss, as I come.

He works me through the orgasm relentlessly. I’m shaking, kicking my heels against the blanket.

Finally, as if I’m coming down from a high that I didn’t know existed, my breathing slows.

Swan slowly slides his hand out from my underwear and licks his fingers clean with a half-hooded look. “You taste as delicious as you smell.”

Well, fuck.

Woozy, I stare at him. “That was…”

“Mind-blowing?” Swan appears self-satisfied but he’s earned it. “You looked more beautiful coming than in all the times I’ve imagined it, JuJu. Was it really okay?”

And there’s the real Swan underneath the swagger.

The man who is as much a virgin as I am, who’s scared of roaches, and who gives me piggyback rides, when my feet hurt after class.

“It was mind-blowing.” I collapse onto the pillows. “I’m not moving from your bed tonight. It’s your own fault for melting me into taffy.”

Swan winces, when he throws himself down to lie on his side next to me. He’s being careful not to put pressure on his burns.

My expression becomes serious.

I will get Dimitri back for hurting Swan like that.

Swan grabs at the blanket and lays it over both of us, tucking us in together. “What a shame. You’ll just have to sleep in my bed every night from now on.”

Warmth floods through me.

“It’ll be tough, but I’m brave. I guess that I’ll have to survive it.”

I yank down my jersey and t-shirt to cover myself, before snuggling under the blanket against Swan’s side. Automatically, he raises his arm to pull me as close as possible, as if we’ve been sleeping together as a matched couple for years.

It’s familiar.

Right.

“Now,” Swan rests his chin on the top of my head, “sleep.”

He yawns, closing his eyes.

How can he sleep after what we just did…? It’s earth-shattering to finally become lovers after being best friends all these years.

Typical guy.
