Page 48 of Provoke You

She sat on her heels, her eyes dark, her mouth plump. “You’ve done this before, right?”

I laughed. “It’s been a while since I felt like this about someone. You drive me crazy all the time, and somehow that makes me feel sane, human again.”

“I got a taste of what your world must’ve been before. Maybe we can forget for a little while.” She slipped her camisole strap off her right shoulder and then the left one until her top was bunched up at her waist. When I didn’t move, she rolled her eyes, taking my hand and pressing my palm on her chest.

I ran my fingers along the side and over her hard nipple, kneading and feeling its weight, as she peered at me through long dark eyelashes. “Every inch of you is so sexy.” My mouth latched on to her breast and I fucking saw stars.

Her moan unlocked a small voice in the back of my head. Make the pain go away. Make me feel normal again. I kissed her hard, letting all the pent-up frustration and desire pour out of me. As if she could read my thoughts, she cradled my face and pulled me toward her.

“Come here.”

I obeyed her and lay on top of her.

Her breath came out in puffs while I tasted her neck, her stomach, and below her navel. “Take them off.”

I did as she ordered and yanked at her shorts to slip them off her legs. “Like I said, every inch of you.” I palmed her pussy for several beats before I skimmed my fingers over her outer lips and slipped my tongue between her folds. I’d been dying to get a taste.

“Oh my fuck, you have done this before.” She arched her back under me, shoving her mound against my open mouth.

By all accounts, being with Ela was a bad idea. Falling for anyone was a bad idea. What was the point when people had the tendency to die around me? How many times had Ela already been in that situation already? What would happen if the next time she was in danger, I wasn’t there to save her? Or what if I failed trying to save her? I couldn’t go through that again. Losing Ela would kill me for sure.

She sat up on the bed, her dark hair sprawled on her shoulders, wild and beautiful. “Pants. Now.” Her eyes stayed on me while I toed off my shoes, removed my socks, belt, and then everything else. She kneeled on the bed and stroke the length of my erection. All thoughts went out the window. All that remained was Ela and her hands and mouth on me.

“I’m so mad at you right now. We could’ve been doing this since day one. See? Even your broody forehead is gone.”

I chuckled, amazed at her ability to make me laugh. “Are you sure about this? I don’t have a condom on me.”

“IUD.” She raised her hand as if she were under oath. “I’m good. Are you good? I trust you.”

“I’m good. Christ, I want you.” I cradled her face and kissed her. We fell back on the bed and I entered her.

When I was young, my world had gone into a tailspin, and somehow it never stopped. Or maybe I never tried hard enough. I bounced from one thing to the next. My life was chaos and turbulence, but being here with Ela, the world simply stopped. I had no dead parents, no missions, no danger, just us.

“Are you even real?” She pulled my hair from the back of my head to make me meet her gaze. “Don’t stop. I want to see you come.”

We stayed like that for a while, looking into each other's eyes, her hips meeting my thrusts one for one. After all these months of knowing her without meeting her, and days of being so close to her and not being able to have her, I finally had a reprieve. Ela was here with me.

My entire body quivered; I couldn’t hold off anymore. When I slowed down, Ela picked up the pace, bucking against me when she found her release. Her walls squeezed so tight around me I came too, long and hard.
