I watched how her eyes were drawn to the action before she made a point of looking me straight in the eye. I waited for her to continue.
"Caleb and I went out a couple of times. I didn't want to start something with you before I could make it clear to Caleb that I just wanted to be friends and nothing more."
She finally shed light on the reason she had stopped me in the bathroom.
"With me it's not 'something,' it is just sex," I felt compelled to tell her. By stating the words out loud, I wasn't allowing her to misread my actions even if this thing with her was unchartered territory for me. I never went back and here I was ready to pick up where we had left off.
"I know."
She shifted slightly as the silence continued. The time for talking was over. I closed the distance between us with intent and purposeful steps toward her. She was nervous despite her attempt to hold my bold gaze.
"This thing with you... I want more than one night," I told her softly, stopping in front of her.
I wasn't going to touch her until we agreed on my terms. I still had to hold some control over what was happening between us for me to even consider going forward. If she disagreed I would show her the door and keep my distance. It was all or nothing with me.
"Okay." She nodded.
"This has to be exclusive, though. I don't want you to touch another girl while this is going on between us," she added with a slight frown.
For a few moments I considered her request. It was reasonable. Besides, I wasn't going to tell her that I hadn't been attracted to another since I had met her.
"Fine. Exclusive fucking," I agreed. "Any more rules you want to put in place?"
"No," she said.
"No feelings, just sex, and when it ends we walk away," I reminded her on the terms we had agreed to as I took another step closer. She had to look up at me to hold my gaze.
"Yes."
Finally. I reached for her slowly, not wanting to rush things. My hands threaded through her hair, preparing to kiss her. My breath brushed against her lips as I leaned closer before touching my mouth to hers. She slid her arms around my neck as we kissed tentatively. When she opened her lips and my tongue brushed against hers, I felt a rush of heat at the taste of her sweet mouth.
The urge to take her quickly and bury myself as deep as I could took hold but I stopped myself. She wasn't a virgin anymore but I couldn't be rough with her. My hands lifted her off her feet. Her legs wrapped around me, securing herself against me.
With our mouths fused together, I caressed her tongue with mine. My fingers dug into her soft skin. I wanted her exactly the way we'd been earlier, so with my focus still on her, my one hand left her long enough to open the door and I carried her down the hallway to the bathroom.
Once inside, I closed the door behind us. The only time I released her was to set her down on the counter and to lock the door so no one would interrupt us. My heart was beating with excitement as I opened her legs and stepped between them. I was in complete control and she looked at me nervously.
"I want to pick up where we left off," I murmured before I kissed her. My hands rode up her legs, pushing up her skirt. I gripped the sides of her panties and slid them down her legs. Once off, I discarded them on the floor.
I lifted her top and she took it off. It was the next item to be dumped on the floor. Her eyes glittered and I covered her mouth with mine, harder than before, my actions more urgent. The need to have her was too difficult to fight. It was like swimming against a tsunami—impossible. My own arousal strained against the confines of my jeans.
She needed to be ready or it would hurt. I trailed my mouth from her lips down the side of her neck and she groaned. The sound warmed the inside of my chest. I pulled her bra down and flicked my tongue against her nipple. She gasped and I smiled at her, enjoying how I could make her react. Her hands gripped my shoulders tightly as I straightened.
"Are you ready?" I whispered against her lips. My hand went between her legs, seeking her heat. My eyes held hers as I slid a finger into her. She gasped. She was more than ready.
"Yes," she gasped when I added another finger. She moved her hips in rhythm to my fingers pumping into her.
"Tell me what you want," I said, increasing the tempo and watching her briefly close her eyes.
"I... want," she tried to say.
"You want me here," I said firmly, pressing my fingers harder into her.
"Yes," she panted. Her heavy-lidded eyes fixed on mine.
I'd waited long enough. I removed my fingers from her to undo my jeans and drop them to the floor. My boxers followed closely behind. I got a foil packet and ripped it open with my teeth before rolling it down my length.
I allowed my eyes one quick sweep of the trembling girl I was about to take to new heights. She gripped the counter as I leaned forward and kissed her hard. I opened her legs wider and as I stepped between them she pressed her legs against my sides.
My heart was beating so fast when I lined up our bodies. I watched her react as I nudged her before I began to enter her slowly. Then I gripped her butt and pulled her closer, sliding into her to the hilt. God, she felt so good.
"I can't take it slow," I warned her softly, briefly pulling out to slam back into her.
"I need to fuck you," I rasped, holding her in place with my hand holding tightly onto her hips. I thrust back into her harder.
At this rate I wasn't going to last long. She felt better than I had remembered. But I wanted her to come before I lost my load. I pounded into her, trying to angle our friction against her clit.
"Harder," she instructed as I felt her tense, knowing she was going to climax soon. I kept the angle, feeling the building up as I continued to fuck her.
My tongue brushed against my bottom lip as I watched her anticipating her climax. Then she came, gripping me tighter. I pushed into her a few more times before I trembled with my own release.
