I nodded. “Yeah. Mine was a case of ‘too little, too late,’ but still.”
She made a little humming sound before reaching up to touch my face. “But, you know, all the shit that we put up with, it got us here.”
“It did.” I squeezed her tighter. She laughed softly, turning in my arms.
She rose up on her knees and kissed me, wrapping her arms around my neck.
I slid my hands down, cupping the cheeks of her ass.
She looked at me for a moment, smiling, and kissed me again.
No protests this time. Good.
I held her close, kissing her slowly. It was gentle—not my usual style at all, but it felt right.
It kinda reminded me of when I’d been with Bay, but different. Better.
It was what we both needed. To slow down, take this nice and easy and enjoy it.
Sydney rested her hands on my shoulders, shifting closer to me. She straddled my hips.
My hard-on was pressed against her stomach. I knew she could feel it, especially when she moved just a little, making me gasp.
“I guess I can be a little late this morning,” she murmured, her lips moving against mine.
“I’ll make it worth your while.”
“Promise?”
“Absolutely.”
“Okay.”
I turned us over, putting her on the mattress. I let her go and slid down the bed, looking up at her as I positioned myself between her legs.
“What are you—”
I cut her off as I ran my tongue over her, between her lips.
She gasped. “Oh, my fucking god!”
That was the reaction I wanted. She dropped back against the mattress, her legs draped over my shoulders. She reached one hand out, grabbing hold of my hair, but didn’t pull—just held on tight.
Her moans were all the encouragement I needed. I worked carefully, focusing on what made her gasp and whimper and doing it again, and again, and again, until her legs were shaking. Her heels dug into my ribs and she squealed, shaking with orgasm.
Perfect.
I lifted my head and smiled at her, already grabbing another condom out of my wallet. I rolled it on, looking at Sydney for a moment. She had the most blissful smile on her face.
It made my chest feel warm. I was already crazy about this girl.
I crawled back between her legs, touching her thigh. She turned her head toward me, still with that look of contentment.
“You want it?” I asked.
“Yeah,” she said softly. She pushed herself up on her elbows, looking at me, then held one arm out.
I leaned into her. She curled her arm around my neck, and I sat up, pulling her with me. She shifted into my lap and raised up on her knees.
