Page 38 of Shifting Gears

I smirked and began to thrust. Long, hard strokes, ending up deep inside her each time. She moaned and pressed the side of her face against the wall, her eyes heavy with desire, and she glanced back and watched me fuck her from behind. I locked eyes with her, chuckling as I pulled all the way to my tip and froze.

She looked confused as she opened her eyes a bit more.

I didn’t leave her lingering in her confusion long. I dragged her backward off the wall. She held herself up on her hands and knees. Doggy style was one of my favorite positions. I wrapped one of my hands in her hair and tugged her head back as I leaned over her body, sliding my dick back inside her.

“Oh my gosh, this angle feels even better than the last,” she moaned as I lowered my lips to her neck and sucked and kissed there.

“Wait till you feel this next part. It’s gonna blow your mind,” I said, a smirk on my lips.

I slammed into her with renewed speed and force. Her tits bounced with every thrust as I began to fuck her pussy with all the leftover adrenaline and passion I had from this night. I wanted to fill her pussy full of my cum, but just because last time she wanted me to, doesn’t mean it was the same deal this time. So, I was ready to pull out as soon as she had another orgasm.

“Come for me, baby. I wanna feel you collapse on my dick because I’m gonna come with you,” I growled in her ear as I rubbed her clit faster and thrust deep.

“Come with me,” she said as she moaned and turned her head to face mine. “I’m close. Don’t stop.”

Fuck, getting the green light to fill her pussy full turned me on even more. I thrust faster, and a few seconds later, she pulsed around me and came, her cries against my ear making me think about nothing else but my release as I kept fucking her hard.

Suddenly, I was lost in the moment and closed my eyes.

“Fuck, I’m gonna come, Rosa—” I cut myself off after nearly saying a name I’d least expected to. I groaned. The last thing I needed to say before I released my cum inside her was the name of another fucking woman.

I finished with a few final thrusts and pulled out of her, giving her perfect ass one final spank before I rolled onto my back, lying next to her on the futon, trying to forget the last part of that fuck.

She collapsed onto her stomach, her eyes wandering up and down my naked body before she propped up on her elbows and took a few deep breaths.

“Well, that was absolutely …” Her voice trailed off as she chuckled again.

“Fun? Amazing? The best sex of your life?” I said as I sat upright, winking at her as she rolled onto her side.

“I mean, yes, it was all those things too. But I was going to say, it was unforgettable. And made me feel like the sexiest woman in the world …” she said, her eyes watching me closely.

I wanted to say,you are, but when I thought about who I really considered the sexiest woman in the world, it wasn’t Raven I pictured in my mind.

I leaned my back against the wall, and Raven curled up next to me. I draped my arm around her shoulders as she slid her leg onto my thigh.

“Where did your mind go in the end—when you were about to say another woman’s name as you came?” she asked.

I tensed.

Fuck. I thought I’d caught myself fast enough. Their names both start with anR.Should have known she’d pick up on it.

I glanced down into her dark eyes, knowing I had two options. Say nothing and know how much it’d fuck with her, which was honestly something I didn’t want to do. Or tell her about the first woman I’d ever loved.

The only problem? I didn’t know which one would hurt me more.

CHAPTER 14

AJ

“Shit. You heard that, huh?”I said as I did my best to act like the thoughts creeping into my mind were no big deal.

The last thing I’d thought I’d wanna do after spending a night having damn good sex like that was think of Rosalie Wells, let alone talk about her to the woman in my arms right now. But I knew it would be hard not to after everything Raven and I had already shared today.

She had given me a pretty big glance into her life, and her having questions about my past was natural. But was I ready to reopen memories I’d worked so damn hard to lock up?

Memories of the only woman I’d ever loved. Of leaving her in LA so she could move on with her life and find someone who wouldn’t get her in deadly situations like my life choices had brought her.

The feelings of desperation that I’d had, not knowing if she was all right the night she was taken to the hospital after being jumped in an alleyway by her father’s auto shop as I fought my biggest rival, Jabari, in LA, flooded back to me.
