Page 83 of Echoes of You

My heart kicked and tumbled, somersaulting in my chest at the thought of having Nash over and over again.

His fingers hooked in the waistband of my boy shorts, and he tugged them slowly down. Each scrape of his knuckles against my skin twisted that invisible cord tighter until I wanted to scream. “Nash…”

“Yes.”

“Please.”

A devilish grin spread across his face. “I love it when you beg.”

I made a vow then and there that I wouldn’t be the only one begging. Nash would get a little payback one of these days. But right now? I needed him.

I reached behind me and unfastened my bra, sending it flying to the floor.

Nash’s green eyes flashed as they zeroed in on my breasts, and power surged in me. His thumb traced my nipple. “The perfect shade of pink.” His head lowered, and his lips closed around the peak, sucking deep. He hummed, sending a cascade of tingles through me. But I was done waiting.

I hooked my toes in the waistband of his sweats, pushing them down in an awkward movement. But I didn’t give a damn. I was desperate, and I’d do anything to get to Nash.

He chuckled as his lips lifted from my breast. “In a hurry, Mads?”

He’d never said my nickname with that kind of grit before. It only fueled the fire he’d lit with his words, his fingers, his tongue.

I grabbed for Nash’s T-shirt in answer, pulling it over his head. I was met by lightly tanned skin pulled taut over an ocean of muscle. Broad shoulders and defined pecs dipping down into too many abdominals to count.

Nash’s grin only widened. “Cat got your tongue?”

My fingers ran down those abs and lower to the V of muscle. Nash’s grin died. He cursed as my fingers closed around his length. “Wait. I need to get a condom.”

I looked up into those green eyes. “I’m on the pill, and I’ve been checked.” It had been a long time since I’d been intimate with Adam, and I’d always had doubts that he’d been faithful.

Nash’s throat worked as he swallowed. “I just had a checkup. Are you sure?”

I nodded. “I don’t want anything between us.” I wanted to feelallof him.

Nash stepped out of his sweats, kicking them to the side. His hand dipped between my thighs, stroking and teasing. “So wet.”

My hips rose to meet his ministrations, seeking him of their own volition. That smile was back on Nash’s beautiful mouth. “Never knew you were so greedy, Mads. I like it.”

He made me that way. Greedy for every single thing he’d give me.

“Need to taste you. Been dreaming of it for years. Sometimes, I’d wake up from a dream and swear you were on my tongue.”

My core clenched, wanting, needing whatever Nash could give me.

He knelt, spreading my thighs. His tongue flicked out, circling my clit, and I let loose a whimper that begged for more.

“Better than I ever imagined.” Nash’s husky words sent vibrations through me that only drove me higher.

His tongue toyed and teased, each swipe driving me to the brink but then stopping just shy of the edge.

My hands fisted in the blankets. “Nash…”

“Hmm?” The question was a hum against my clit that nearly had me falling to pieces.

“Want you inside me.”

Nash pulled back, eyes flashing with green heat. “Killing me, Mads.” He pushed up, leaning over me and hovering there. So close, yet too far away. His tip bumped my entrance, and my legs encircled his waist, welcoming him in. His eyes locked with mine. “Love you.”

On those two words I would never tire of hearing, he slid inside. My mouth fell open as I sucked in air at the delicious stretch. Nash’s forehead pressed to mine. “God, Maddie. You’re heaven.”
