Page 97 of Where We Belong

Her lips are soft under mine, tasting like minty toothpaste andLexie. I can’t get enough. Leaning onto my elbows so I can get even closer to her, I drag my fingers through her hair, untying her ponytail so I can have her hair everywhere. She moans, the sound almost enough to make me lose the ounce of self-control I have left. We still haven’t had full-on sex yet, and while I’m more than happy to respect whatever pace she needs, I’m only human, and I dare you to hook up with Lexie Tuffin for months and not feel like crawling out of your skin from how much you want to be inside her.

“Don’t think I don’t know what you’re doing. Bamboozling me.”

“Is it working?”

“Fuck yes, it is.”

She smiles against my mouth as her hands glide under my shirt. I lift myself so she can easily pull it off my chest, immediately returning to our kiss once she’s done. I’m rock hard against her middle, and when she grinds her hips against mine, I groan.

“Goddamn, Lex,” I say, my kisses dipping to her jaw, to her neck, and then to her collarbones, licking a path against her salty skin that just makes me want more.

Careful of her injured foot, she gently pushes me off so she can sit up, then pulls at her top, baring herself to me. My mouth dries as I take the time to just stare, just like I do every time I get the chance to see her. She’s my personal eclipse: I know I should look away, but I can’t help myself.

“You’re the sexiest thing I’ve ever seen.”

She grins, then pushes us to our knees so she can kiss me with all the fire she possesses, her tongue dueling with mine, fast and exploratory all at once. I pull at her so she’s stuck to my body like glue, her hard nipples rubbing against my chest, and when she brings one of her legs around my pelvis, I grab her ass and lift her so she can climb on me.

With one of my hands in her hair, angling her head so I can kiss even more deeply, I drag my other fingers from the back all the way to the front of her shorts, finding her warm and wet even through the material.

I don’t remember the last time she flinched when I touched her. It’s the most wonderful fucking feeling in the world.

Her lips part on an inhale as I start rubbing her, gaze locked on mine. I never look away, only biting my bottom lip when I move her shorts and panties to the side and find her thoroughly soaked.

We both sigh as I sink a finger into her. Hands gripping at the skin at my neck, she lets her forehead fall to my shoulder and starts riding my finger. Even though I’m the one inside her, she’s fully in control, hitting the spot exactly the way she needs to, and I’m only there to enjoy the show.

When she moans my name, I almost come in my pants. It takes all my self-control to keep pumping her pussy with the same rhythm, using my thumb to rub her clit at the same time.

We’re both panting when I ask, “Think you can handle another finger?”

She nods, her coffee eyes meeting mine before drifting closed. Her breath is warm on my chest as I softly insert a second finger, getting off on the small gasp she lets out. With my free hand, I tilt her head so I can claim her mouth with mine and swallow every single one of her sounds, the soft whimpers and breaths tasting like heaven. She’s dripping all over my hand; no hiding her enjoyment.

I can’t get enough of it. Of her.

“Jesus, Finn,” she whispers against my skin, the soft hitch in her voice a telltale that she’s close.

I lean forward to bite one of her nipples, then climb to her ear and whisper, “Come for me, Lex.” A second later, she does, her pussy clenching around my fingers as she lets her weight fall onto me, boneless and quivering. “That’s it.”

When she stops spasming against me, I pull my fingers out and bring them to my mouth so I can suck them clean, mostly because I enjoy the way her pupils dilate when I do it. Then, I lean forward and kiss her once more. “See how good you taste?” I say in a husky voice.

Her only answer is to bring my lips back to hers. Like she can’t quite get enough of me either.

With her thighs still wrapped around my hips, I get to my feet, but just as I move to set her on the sofa, she grabs my cheeks and says, “I want you, Finn.”

It takes a moment for my brain to settle on what she’s actually saying, and when it does, I freeze. It’s not like we haven’t done everything other than this, but sex still feels like some kind of line in the sand I don’t know we’re ready to cross. Neither one of us knows for sure what happened to her when she was younger, but my biggest fear is that I start fucking her, only to realize she’s lost to me, imagining it’s someone else touching her. Someone she wishes would stay away.

“I don’t know, Lex.”

Her face drops, and I immediately cup her face so she doesn’t get the wrong idea. “It’s been an emotional couple of weeks. I don’t want you to do something while you’re not thinking straight.” Especially since what’s left of my restraint is pretty fucking thin, and I know I won’t be able to say no if she insists.

“Iamthinking straight,” she says, determined. “In fact, I’ve never been more sure of anything. I want this.” Then, the little heathen reaches between us and grabs my hard cock, squeezing it and making me grit my teeth. “Now, will you touch me or not?”

Those seven words are my undoing.

My lips latch onto hers, a renewed intensity in our kiss. Without looking, I leave the living room with her in my arms, and in six long steps, we’re in my bedroom. The moon is lighting a sliver of the bed, but we’re otherwise bathed in darkness. I lean and carefully drop her onto the bed, then straighten so I can look at her again. Without the full light, she’s all angles and shadows, looking good enough to eat.

So I drop to my knees on the bed and prowl toward her. Her eyes glint in the darkness as I remove her shorts and panties in one swift move, then grab her thighs and lift her middle to me. She tenses, but not in fear.

Gaze remaining on her, I lick my lips, and when I see the hitch of her breath, I know she wants this as much as I do. Smirking, I bring my tongue to her cunt and stroke it once. The sound she lets out is out of this world.
