She lifts her head, pulling away just enough so that we’re able to look at each other. A million questions dance across her expression, all of which we’ll have to sort through, but it can wait. Right now, I need to do something I should’ve done a long fucking time ago.

Sliding my hand around the back of her neck, I coax her toward me. She comes willingly, finally giving me everything I’ve wanted for what feels like a lifetime as her soft lips press against mine. Fireworks explode behind my eyes, and I can’t stop the quiet whimper that leaves my body when she opens, plunging her tongue inside my waiting mouth as though she’s needed me just as badly as I’ve needed her. If I didn’t know it before, this definitely makes it all crystal clear—she’s everything I’ve ever dreamed of. I never have, and never will, feel this way about another woman. It’s always been her.

The kiss turns frantic, her hips moving along my erection as I swallow her desperate whines. I’m not surprised that she’s so wound up, considering Hawk just fucked her brains out and refused to let her come. She was close—I could see it in her eyes—but she obeyed his order. He may be okay with leaving her to suffer, but I’m not. I hear him moving behind the bathroom door, followed by the quiet whistle of the shower being turned on, so I know we have at least ten minutes—maybe more.

Lowering my hand between us, I press the tip of my middle finger to her swollen, sensitive clit. She gasps in response, and I break our connection, bringing my mouth to her ear so she can hear me speak. “Shh,” I warn. “He might hear you. Be a good girl and come quietly for me, okay?” She nods her head, and I slip back further, pushing two fingers into her wet heat. She’s dripping with Hawk’s release, and as surprised as I am by the revelation, it only turns me on more to feel how full she is. The urge to bury myself deep inside and give her a load of my own is almost overwhelming when she begins bouncing up and down, chasing her orgasm.

“That’s it. Make that good girl pussy come.” A shaky, flustered breath tumbles from her lips, and she changes tactics, grinding against my palm. Her inner muscles flutter around me as she works herself up, but I can tell she’s needy for so much more.

“Jacks,” she begs. “Please.”

“Pleasewhat, Princess?” I’m almost positive I know what she’s asking for, but I might die if I don’t hear her say the words. Fuck pissing Hawk off or going against his wishes. This is about me and Arden.

“I want you inside me.”

I exhale slowly. She has no idea how many times I’ve thought about that very thing, hating the fact that she could never be mine. Yet, here we are, and she’s saying words I couldn’t even fathom hearing before tonight.

“We don’t have to right now,” I whisper, pulling out of her warmth and ghosting my hands over her hips reassuringly. “I want you more than anything in this world, but I need to know we’re on the same page. This isn’t just sex for me.”

She shakes her head, her fingers coming up to run along my cheek. “Jackson, you can’t possibly think I haven’t had feelings for you since we were kids. I’ve always hoped you felt the same, but that wasn’t us.”

I lean into her touch, relief flooding over me like a warm wave. “I felt the same. I was chicken shit. By the time I worked up the nerve, our parents were already together. There were so many times I wanted to blurt it out, but I was scared.”

“I want this,” she says with a soft smile. “But before we do, I need you to know that I really care about Hawk.”

“Me too,” I reply, and as if we had summoned him, the door opens, and he enters the bedroom with a white towel wrapped around his waist. He steps up to his dresser, gathers some clothes, and walks over to where we’re lying on the bed before tipping Arden’s chin up so she’s looking at him.

“You’re fucking incredible,” he says, dropping a chaste kiss to her lips and standing to his full height. “Just so you both know, I’m okay with whatever happens here. I’m going to go for a run so you can have some time to yourselves. Text me if you need anything.” He winks at Arden before turning and leaving the room, and as fucking weird as all of this should be, it’s not. The woman he just fucked, and has very deep feelings for, is naked on top of me, and he’s leaving the condo so we can do the same, if that’s what she wants. It’s unconventional, for sure—but none of it feels wrong.

She turns my way, her eyes burning into mine. “Whatever this is…I want it all. It’s not just sex for me, either.”

I wrap my arms around her waist, turning us so I’m on top before leaning down and taking her lips in a passionate kiss. I’m caught somewhere between being desperate to get inside her and wanting to take my time. I finally decide that we can doslow and exploratorynext round, because doing it now would only torture us both. She’s needy because Hawk didn’t let her come, and I want nothing more than to be the reason she does.

I reach down, shoving my shorts and boxer briefs over my thighs, never breaking our connection as I kick them off the side of the bed. The first slide of my erection through her cum-covered slit has me seeing stars, and I have to take a deep, slow breath just to stop myself from blowing before I even get a chance to feel her wrapped around me. I have no idea how I’ll last, but hopefully, I can find a way to get her off before I finish.

“Fuck, Princess,” I say on a harsh exhale. “How are you real?”

She giggles against my lips. “I’ve been right in front of you the whole time.”

Pulling back, I smooth a hand through her hair, thankful that we’re finally here. That we made it through all the bumps along our path, and now she’s under me, saying everything I’ve only wished to hear. No matter what happens, I’ll always remember this moment.

“Do you want me to use a condom?” I ask. I don’t want to assume that just because she let Hawk come inside her, she’d want me to. I’ve certainly been with my fair share of women, where he’s choosier because he doesn’t like to let people get close to him in any capacity. But I’ve never fucked without protection, and I hope Arden knows I wouldn’t put her at risk.

“I want you bare, if that’s what you want,” she replies. “I’m on birth control, and the only person I’ve been with in a long time just left the room, so it’s up to you. I trust you completely.”

“Me too,” I whisper, dropping my lips to hers as I line myself up and slowly push inside. Her inner walls grip me as though they were made for my cock, and I sink in further, burying myself to the hilt, doing my best to burn everything about the way she feels into my brain. Not that I could ever forget.

“Fuck, you feel so good. Are you okay?” I leisurely drag my heavy length out, carefully driving forward again as she nods in response.

“So good. Oh my God. Please go faster, Jacks. I’m dying.”

I chuckle, pulling her thigh over my hip and setting an even tempo so she’s getting what she needs. It isn’t long before her pussy is swelling and clenching, hugging my shaft so tightly, I can barely move.

“Such a sweet girl,” I say, lowering my hand to her clit and rubbing in tight circles. “Let that aching cunt come all over my cock. You’ll feel so much better once you do.”

Her head thrashes back and forth as her nails dig into the skin of my shoulders, and I pick up speed, knowing that she’s teetering on the edge of her orgasm. As good as it would feel to slow down and make this last, she’s been through enough, so I fuck into her like a man possessed as she moans in pleasure.

The leg wrapped around my waist begins to shake uncontrollably, and her back bows off the bed. Before I can ask what else she needs, her pussy clamps down, pulsing against me. A string of almost unintelligible curses falls from her beautiful lips, and it takes every ounce of self-control I have not to follow her. I’m right there, but there’s no way I’m coming if I don’t have her full attention.
