Page 81 of Chasing Xander
“Yeah, that’s it, sweetheart.”
Another debilitating knot of pressure coiled deep in her core, and she rocked on his lap.
His face contorted, and the muscle in his jaw ticked. “Stop,” he snarled seconds before his hips jerked, and he moaned loudly, the sound echoing around her. He eased his hand from her pants, and warmth spread between them. “Holy shit.” He gasped for breath and rested his forehead to hers. Tremors rocked through him, shaking his body.
“Did you just…?”
“Yep.” He pulled back to look at her.
“It’ll be our little secret. Promise.”
His eyes twinkled with amusement, and he gazed at her in that special way he had. “Fuck no. Own that shit.” He rubbed his hands along her hips. “You just did something no other woman ever has. You made me come, hard, without ever touching me.”
She smiled so big, her cheeks hurt. If she had any doubts about his desire for her before, she didn’t now.
“Seriously, though, are you okay? It wasn’t too much, was it?”
“I’m better than okay. I can see why people are so obsessed with this whole orgasm thing.”
“And that was just foreplay.” He winked.
Her heart stuttered. That orgasm had turned her inside out, left her weak and sated. How the hell would she survive anything more intense than that?
“No regrets?”
“None.” She paused. “Well, other than the fact that after all that, I’m still a virgin.”
He laughed. “And we’re going to keep it that way for a bit longer.”
“Oh, are we?” She lifted a brow.
“Yes,” he said seriously. “I think we should give ourselves time to get to know each other better. More intimately.” He wagged his eyebrows, then sighed. “Let’s not rush this, okay?”
She refrained from frowning. After what she’d just experienced, she wasn’t sure she could go any slower. She craved more, but the sincerity in his gaze had her swallowing her protests. Clearly this meant a lot to him. “Last I knew, it was my virginity to do with as I pleased. What makes you think you have any say in it?” she teased, wanting to lighten the mood.
He sat up, bringing his chest flush to hers, his gaze intense, unflinching. “See, that’s where you’re wrong, Ky. You’ve already decided to give it to me, and I’ve decided I’m going to take it.”
“Took you long enough.”
He laughed and gave the side of her ass a firm, playful smack. “You and your smart mouth are gonna kill me, I swear.”
Smiling, she laid her head on his chest, letting her heart calm to a more manageable speed. “I should go back to my room and change into some dry pants.” She climbed off his lap, and her legs shook, causing her to sway. “Whoa.”
Xander stood and steadied her. “Easy there.”
“I’m okay.” She hadn’t expected her legs to be so weak and wobbly.
He walked her to the door, snaked his arm around her waist, and turned her toward him for a kiss. “Hurry back.”
She opened the door. “If I come back here, you’re not going to pretend you don’t know me, are you?”
“Kylie, I swear to God…” His tone was light and full of amused disbelief.
He reached for her, but she moved out of the way, squealing with delight. She rushed out, his rich laugh chasing her as she let herself into her room. As soon as the door closed, she leaned against it and blew out a breath. Her cell phone rang. Who the heck was calling so late? She darted across the room to grab it. “Hello?” she answered, breathless.
“I have been calling you for two days. I’m worried sick. Are you okay?” Celeste’s tone was frantic. “Why haven’t you been answering my calls or texts?”
“Calm down, Celeste. I’m okay.” She headed into the bathroom. Putting the phone on speaker, she set it on the sink, and then removed her pants and did her business. “I just needed some time to myself.”
