I lift my head to meet her gaze. “Something you need?”

“You,” she breathes out. “I need you.”

I smirk. “I’m right here.”

“You’re the smartest man I know, don’t be obtuse. You know what I mean.”

“I’m the smartest man you know?”

She grunts. “Do not get distracted. It wasn’t a compliment. It was a mere statement of fact.”

“If I’m the smartest man you know.” I toy with her nipple. “I can probably do two things at once.”

She arches her back in a silent plea for more. “We are not discussing the myth of multi-tasking while I’m naked in bed and aching for you.”

“Aching for me?” I pinch her nipple and she moans.

“More, please.”

I dip my fingers in chocolate before smearing it over her lips. She tries to lick it off but I capture her lips before she has the chance. I lay on top of her but prop myself on my elbows before I crush her as I devour her lips.

She gasps and I shove my tongue into her mouth. The chocolate is delicious, but it can’t compare to the taste of Blossom. She’s a unique flavor, I’m afraid I’m becoming addicted to.

She wraps her legs around my waist and rubs herself against my cock. My cock is hard and hot and I can’t wait any longer. I shove my boxers down my thighs and notch myself at her entrance.

I inch inside. I moan at the feel of her walls surrounding me. Rippling around me. Nothing has ever felt better. No one has ever felt better.

I lift up to watch myself enter her and freeze. “Fuck.”

“Yes, please.”

“I forgot a condom.”

I never forget a condom. Eli and Rhett drummed it into me from before the time I was interested in girls. Always protect yourself and her.

“It’s okay. I’m on the pill and I haven’t been with anyone since Alan.”

I ignore the reference to Alan. I won’t let her ex interfere with what is growing between Blossom and me.

Hold on. Growing between Blossom and me? Shit. So much for not falling for her.

“You trust me?”

She rolls her eyes. “I’m in this bed with you, aren’t I? Of course, I trust you.”

After everything Alan did – how he broke her trust, cheated on her, stole from her – she’s willing to trust another man. I knew Blossom was strong. It’s official. I’m falling for her.

“Hold on,” I growl. “This is going to be hard and fast.”

“Oh, goodie.”

I slam into her and her fingernails dig into my shoulders. When I don’t move, she wiggles underneath me.

“You promised hard and fast.”

I inhale a deep breath to stop myself from coming after one thrust. This woman I’m falling for deserves more and she’ll get it. She’ll get everything I have to give.

Until Monday morning.
