I saw the storm inside her—the emotions she couldn’t voice but wasdesperatelytrying to show me.

Her hands reached up, fingers skimming over the towel at my waist, untying it with slow, deliberate movements. The fabric dropped away, and then her hands were on me, tracing my stomach, her nails dragging lightly across my abs, setting off a chain reaction of heat in my veins.

Then she leaned in, her lips ghosting over my chest, nipping, licking—driving meinsane.

She stopped just as our lips barely touched. “You make mefeel,” she whispered against my mouth. “I feelsafe.”

Ifeltthat. Her words weren’t just words, they were aconfession. A final wall being lowered.

And fuck—fuck—I didn’t deserve it.

The guilt nearly crushed me, but everything else? Everything else wasreal, and this wasn’tmytruth to tell, regardless of how much I wanted to. Would she even believe me if I tried?

I wrapped my arms around her, pulling her flush against me, letting my grip show her just how deep my own truth ran.

“You aresafewith me,” I promised, holding her gaze so she couldseehow much I meant it. Her lips parted, her breath shaky. “And you makemefeel too,” I added. “This,” I gestured between us, “issomething different. Youknowthat. This isus.”

I had no better word for it.

But‘us’—that word had weight. It hadmeaning. It was unlike anything I had everfeltbefore, a pull I had no name for, but it was getting stronger every damn second.

And fuck if I knew what itwas, but I knew one thing for sure— I wasn’t going toloseit.

Her eyes darkened, her pupils blown wide with heat. Then she closed the last bit of space between us, her hands sliding into my hair as her lips crashed into mine.

I pulled hercloser, even though there was no space left between us, desperate to feelmore. My tongue swept into her mouth, claiming, demanding, takingeverythingshe was willing to give me. My hand moved up her side, finding the twisted knot keeping her towel closed, and with a sharp tug, I yanked it free. The towel dropped to the floor, and Igroanedas her bare skin pressed against mine.

Kyle’s hands raked down my back, her body grinding against me, her stomach rubbing against my cock, and my controlsnapped. Grabbing behind her thighs, I lifted her effortlessly, wrapping her legs around my waist. The heat of her pussy against my cock wasfucking heaven, her wetness spreading as she rocked against me.

She gasped as I took two steps forward, pressing her back against the cool wall. I barely managed to pull my mouth from hers, needing more—needing all of her. I trailed kisses down her throat, my tongue flicking against the sensitive skin there. Then lower.

Lifting her slightly, I latched onto one of her breasts, rolling my tongue over the peak before sucking it into my mouth. Kyle moaned, her back arching, pressing herself further into me. Igroaned against her nipple, sucking harder, my teeth scraping lightly before I flicked my tongue again.

She gasped my name, her hips moving in slow, desperate circles against me.

“Jagger,” she panted through her moans. “Please.” Iknewwhat she was asking for, her body was telling meeverything, and I was just as desperate. “Fuck me.”

My restraint shattered. Gripping my cock, I positioned myself against her entrance, lowering herslowly. The moment the tip pushed inside, webothgasped. She was so tight, and so fuckingwet.

I clenched my jaw, every muscle in my body straining to keep from losing it right then and there.

“Fuckinghell,” I groaned against her neck. Ihadto take this slow, or I wasn’t going to last.

But Kyle had other ideas. With the strength of her thighs, she lifted herself—then slammed back down, taking all of me in one smooth, perfect motion.

“Kyle!” I shouted at the same time she screamed my name.

My hands tightened on her ass, gripping her as Ithrust upinto her, slamming her back against the wall with each movement. Her moans, the way she gasped my name, the way her pussy gripped me—itbrokeme.

Harder.

Faster.

I needed her in my mouth.

Her breasts bounced with every thrust, and I caught a nipple between my lips, sucking it deep, rolling my tongue over it while Ipoundedinto her. Shecried out, her walls fluttering around me.

She was close. I moved my hand between us, pressing my thumb against her clit, rubbing tight, fast circles. Her body tensed, every muscle going rigid, as her breath caught. Ifeltit the moment she let go. Kyle shattered, her pussy clamping down around me so tight that Isaw stars.
