Page 47 of Love Like This

“I love these sheets,” Hadley said, pulling back a fistful.Spencer couldn’t have told you where she’d purchased them or even what colorthey were in that moment, but leave it to Hadley to not miss the year they weremade and the thread count. She was a details girl.

“I’ll send you a set.”

Hadley laughed and Spencer was topped before she knew it, andstaring up into big, blue eyes that now carried a touch of fire. “I’m going todo things to you now,” Hadley said in her ear, “that I’ve wanted to do for along time, if you’ll let me.”

Spencer nodded and pulled Hadley down for a heat-laden kiss.

Hadley spent the next few minutes bathing Spencer’s breasts withan amount of attention they’d never received, and just when Spencer thought shewas done, Hadley pinned her hands above her head to start again. She heardherself making soft humming sounds of pleasure, which would apparently serve astheir soundtrack because every kiss, lick, or suck brought her closer to thebrink. Her body quaked noticeably beneath Hadley’s fingertips, her mouth. Shewas distantly aware of her rolling hips, pushing against Hadley for friction,anything, and coming up empty. It was torment, but the memorable kind, andworth every second.

“Your bra,” Spencer whispered. She so badly wanted to see Hadley’sbreasts. Without a word, Hadley adjusted to a seated position and removed herbra slowly. With her hands now free, Spencer was able to reach up and cup thebreasts she’d been dying to greet, perfect in every way, just like the rest ofHadley. She sat up and, with Hadley straddling her lap, went to work with hermouth, showing Hadley’s perfect breasts the same kind of attention, sucking anipple, biting it softly.

In response, Hadley dropped her head back, exposing the long columnof her neck. Spencer didn’t hesitate to lick her way up from Hadley’scollarbone to just below her chin, holding her tight, lost in the warmth of herskin. It was Hadley’s turn to rock her hips, and Spencer was certainly willingto help her with the endeavor. In a quick move, she deposited Hadley onto herback on the bed. Spencer parted her legs and kissed her thighs one at a time,making her way slowly to Hadley’s center, eager to taste her, but also wantingto take her time. Both were achievable goals. The matching purple underwearshouldn’t go unappreciated, so she kissed Hadley through them thoroughly,loving the way it made her squirm and whimper. She slipped the rectangularpiece of fabric to the side and tasted her full on. Holding her legs in place,she kissed her open mouthed as Hadley moaned above. It wasn’t enough. Sheslipped her tongue inside and then out again, repeating the action until thesounds Hadley made reached a fantastic crescendo. Her hips bucked, increasingrhythm, begging Spencer for more. Slow and steady, she removed the bikinisaltogether. “Thank God,” Hadley said, to a smile from Spencer. That’s when shewent to work with her tongue, tracing one intricate pattern after another,never giving too much attention to any one spot. Hadley shook her head as theattention continued. “Please, Spencer,” she breathed, clenching the sheets withher fist. She raised her gaze to study Hadley who looked down at her withflushed cheeks and parted lips. Gorgeous. With a final well-placed kiss,followed by direct pressure from her tongue, she simultaneously pushed insideHadley with her fingers, slow and deep. She wasn’t prepared for the immediatereaction. With an inarticulate moan, Hadley threw her head back as she rodeSpencer’s hand, legs trembling. She murmured Spencer’s name over and overagain, grasping Spencer’s head gently to hold her right where she needed it.Then, with a twist and a cry, Hadley was gone. She arched into Spencer andshattered, clenching around her hand gloriously.

That did it. Spencer, in an uncharacteristic turn, felt her ownorgasm approach. Desperately, she straddled Hadley’s thigh and pressed againstit. Hadley was too quick. Before Spencer knew what happened, she was on herback with Hadley’s tongue intimately swirling her center. Her eyes slammedclosed and she gasped in shock as the pressure, accompanied by hits ofpleasure, steadily grew until she thought Hadley would drive her out of herever-loving mind. Damn, this woman knew how to use her mouth. Hadley sucked andnibbled until there was nothing but light behind her eyes. A cry tore fromSpencer’s lips, unexpected and loud. She swore in the midst of it all becausewhat should have been merely a physical act had stirred up a myriad of emotionsthat bubbled to the surface. The physical payout was never-ending as it washedover her, sweet and insistent. The emotional one was nearly as powerful. Sheheld Hadley to her as she struggled to right herself. She couldn’t quite wrapher mind around the very powerful event. She knew for sure there was somethingdifferent about what she’d experienced tonight. She also knew that she waslikely in a lot of trouble.

“I love seeing you let go like that,” Hadley mused, snuggling intoSpencer’s side. “You are easily the sexiest human alive when you’re turned on.Do you know that?”

Spencer chuckled and kissed Hadley’s lips as she looked up at her.“Impossible. You’re here.”

“We have to get you to let go more often.”

Spencer smiled. “When you’re around, I’m not thinking that’s goingto be a problem. I’ve never…” She trailed off and laughed instead, covering hereyes with her forearm.

“What?” Hadley asked, laughing along with her, pulling her forearmaway. “Tell me. You’ve never what?”

She met Hadley’s gaze. “Come that fast before. It hit me out ofnowhere. I promise I’m not a lightweight usually.”

“I happen to love how into it you were. It was hot.”

Spencer raised her head. “Yeah?”

“Definitely.”

She dropped back onto the pillow. “I’m not sure I have any braincapacity left after that.”

“Good thing I don’t need your brain,” Hadley said with a grin andcrawled down Spencer’s body, sending every nerve ending into high alert.

They fell asleep wrapped in each other somewhere after three a.m.At least, that was the last time Spencer caught sight of the clock. Her mindwas scrambled with the best sex she’d ever had and the emergence of powerfulfeelings she didn’t know how to categorize or what to do with.

When it came to Hadley Cooper and the newfound hold she had onSpencer’s heart, all bets were off. Tonight had been a game changer. It wouldeasily go down as the best damn date she’d ever been on. It was becoming clearto Spencer that she was simply along for the ride, hoping against hope thatthey weren’t careening for heartbreak.

Making love to Hadley should have been simple, basic even. Thiskind of thing happened all the time in life: Two people who were attracted toeach other enjoyed a night in each other’s company. Only it wasn’t basic. Itcame with layers of sensations, and feelings, and complexities that Spencerhadn’t planned on. It would take some time and processing for her to fullyunderstand what was happening between them. For now, she planned to simply baskin the enjoyment, and there was a lot of that.

“I think we’re good at this together,” Hadley said, an arm thrownover her head as she stared up at the ceiling.

Spencer laughed. If it had been any better they’d have gone up inflames. “I thought we might be. We crushed those expectations, though.”

“I like to be naked,” Hadley said, turning onto her side to bettersee Spencer. “You should know that about me. Not many people do.”

“I can definitely find a way to cope if you plan to strip down inthe middle of a conversation.” Spencer mirrored Hadley’s position and facedher. “You’re loud in bed. I love that.”

“Too loud?” Hadley asked, blinking at her with concern.

“Not in the slightest. You’re so…”

“What?” Hadley asked, enjoying this now. She propped the side ofher head on her hand and waited for more details. “What am I? I need to knowwhat you’re thinking.”

She circled before finding the right descriptor. “Free. That’s theword. In everything you do, you know how to let go. I need to work on that.”
