“It usually does. It makes people feelbetter.”

I twisted my fingers in the unruly ends of his red hair that brushed against his nape, making him look at me. “I thought we agreed you’d be real withme.”

A shadow of a smile touched his lips, but it didn’t have the usual sardonic quality. “Wedid.”

The pure, raw emotion in his eyes made me lift up on my tiptoes to press my lips againsthis.

Liam moaned into my mouth and tightened his grip around my body. Without breaking our kiss he lifted me up, sliding his strong hands down to grab my backside. I spread my thighs for his hips, and he carried me to the window, pushing me up against theglass.

Breathing heavily now, he ripped his lips from mine and pressed them to my throat instead, kissing down my neck with fevered heat. When he got to my shoulder, he tugged the robe off me. It pooled around my hips and then fell to the floor when he shifted his grip on me, leaving me naked against the cool surface of thewindow.

“Liam… people can see us,” I moaned when he sucked a pebbled nipple into the hot cavern of hismouth.

“Let them watch.” His voice was deep and raspy and sent sharp sparks of urgency to my core. Used muscles clenched, and I felt myself dampen for him, my body responding to his need like a finely tunedviolin.

I let my head fall back against the window with a whimper of surrender. For the first time in my life, I didn’t care if anyone saw me be something less thanperfect.

Sawme.

Something hot and hard nudged against my sex, and my opening softened in welcome. I bit my lip and braced for what I knew wascoming.

He pushed the head of his broad cock inside in one, smooth thrust, and it stretched me so perfectly with its core of steel wrapped in silkysoftness.

It felt even better than it hadbefore.

“Fuck.”I clenched my hands uselessly against the impulse to ignore my brain’s sudden arrival. “Condom.”

Liam’s swearing was quite a bit more adventurous than mine. It took him a few deep breaths before he found the strength to pull out and releaseme.

I slid to the floor with an involuntary whimper of disappointment, but I wasn’t alone for long. Liam pretty much sprinted to the bedroom and was back within twenty seconds, foil package in hand. He ripped it open and slid the rubber on, fisting his girthy hardness with one hand. With an impatient grunt he lifted me back up against the window with his free arm and pushed fully inside of me in one smoothstroke.

I whimpered, the back of my head connecting with cool glass once more as my pussy fluttered around the intrusion. My few but thorough experiences with Liam’s frankly intimidating size had awakened a previously unknown hunger in me, a hunger to be forced as wide as possible. Something about the sensation of being taken so completely sent my mind spinning and drove my body past the brink ofecstasy.

Still, it was a harsh stretch, and it took me a moment to accommodate him withoutdiscomfort.

“Fuck, you feel so good,” Liam growled against my throat. “How do you feel so fuckinggood?”He wrapped both arms tight around my waist, settling me fully on his cock as he took my weight. Buried his face at the side of my neck. And then rolled his hipsup.

“God! Liam!” His body moved underneath me, forcing inch after delicious inch into my tight heat, grinding against my G-spot on every reverse movement. It was maddening bliss, and I clung to my lover as the world faded to bland nothingness, leaving him my only anchor tosanity.

“Liam!Liam, I lo—” He swallowed my voice with a scorching kiss that had my toes curling against his hamstrings and my fingers clutching at his hair. The roll of his hips turned harder, forcing me to focus on only the molten, sweltering sensation of the animalistic ecstasy being pressed intome.

He’d been an intense lover every time we’d joined before, but this time was different. There was something desperate underneath the rhythm of his body, in his searing kiss and in the strength of his grip as he held me to him as if he was scared I’d disappear. It made my heart swell until it ached and my body move against him to bring the relief he was chasing with every thrust of his cock intome.

I don’t know how long we fucked up against the window, lost to anything but the desperate yearning wound tight in the gasped breaths between us. I only snapped out of the hypnotic bliss when Liam shifted his grip on me so he could press a thumb against myclit.

“Fuck!”My vision exploded and my pussy clamped down hard. My climax came roaring up from the tips of my toes, and when Liam grunted,“Give me everything, love,”into my ear, I lost myself. I came screaming his name, my core clutching on his thick length as he gave me the last few, hard thrusts until he joined me with a low moan that sounded somewhere between pain andpleasure.

It was only several minutes later, when I slowly came down to the sensation of Liam softening inside of me and his lips pressing gentle kisses to my shoulder, that I realized I’d almost told him I lovedhim.

Liam

It was only justpast sunrise when I rolled out of Audrey’s bed to look for mypants.

I found them within seconds and pulled them on as quietly as I could so as not to disturbher.

She lay curled up on her side with her dark hair spread out over the pillow in a messy fan and most of her soft skin covered by the duvet. There was still an imprint in the bedding next to her where I’d been holding her close allnight.
