Page 126 of Reckless Love

“Just because it feels good doesn't mean it's right,” she said.

“Everything about you and me is right.”

“Why now?”

“Because I’ve been desperate to kiss you for so long and I don’t want to wait another second.”

She groaned and stood on her tiptoes to kiss me. Her fervor matched mine, letting me know she craved this as much as I did.

My hand fisted her thick hair and my other hand slid up her body, feeling the outline of her breasts as my hand spanned her waist. She gasped into my mouth and I rocked into her. She arched into me and I hitched her leg over my thigh so she could feel me better, and she moaned the sexiest sound I’ve ever heard.

“You feel so good,” I said against her mouth.

She was wearing a cute dress from visiting her parents and I was thrilled she wasn't wearing tights. When she arched into me again, my hand went under her dress so I could touch her silky skin. I teased my way up her thigh and when I reached her core, she clutched my head and kissed me harder.

I felt dizzy with all she was giving me. It had been so long since I’d done this with anyone, but this…thiswas brand new. This was what I’d always wanted.

I rubbed circles over her panties as she whimpered and her head fell back when I pushed her panties aside and touched her skin.

“Rhodes,” she cried.

“Does that feel good?”

“Best thing I’ve ever felt,” she whispered.

“I want to make you feel so good, love.”

“You are.”

My fingers dipped inside of her while my thumb kept swirling the circles. I kept that steady pressure going, stroking her until she was riding my fingers. Her eyes met mine and they looked glazed and drunk with lust. I had never seen anything more beautiful in all my life.

“Yes,” I said. “Fuck, Elle, you’re so beautiful. I fucking love seeing you like this.”

I could feel her getting closer and closer and I didn't let up. Her hand went from my waist to my dick and she palmed me over my sweats. And when she went over the edge, it was so fucking glorious, I went with her.

There was a long suspended moment of peace before her body stiffened and she blinked up at me with more awareness. The lust cloud was gone and her hand dropped.

“Rhodes,” she said, her voice cracking.

I adjusted myself and she looked down, eyes widening when she saw the wet spot on my pants. I made a face.

“Felt too good, watching you come, feeling your hand on me,” I said. “You felt incredible.”

I reached out to touch her face and she stepped away, smoothing her dress down.

“Rhodes…I can’t believe…why did you do that?” Her face crumpled and I was horrified to see tears in her eyes.

“You said it was the best thing you’ve ever felt,” I said in confusion.

“Itwas.But it’s us.Rhodes.” A tear dripped down her face. “Sometimes I feel like you’re all I have. I know I have other people too, but you…you’re everything.”

“You’re everything to me too?—”

“I’ve gotta go. This can’t…we can’t. This was a mistake.” She shook her head. “I shouldn’t have come here tonight. And Rhodes, no one can know about this. I’m sorry.”

She left and my heart shattered a little more.

But she’d given me a taste of what we could be, and I couldn’t give that up. Not now.
