Page 126 of Vows We Never Made

---

Not slowly, not gently, but hard, pressing where she needs me most.

Her eyes widen.

Her head falls back.

Her fingers shake as she grips my shoulders.

“Ethan!” Her voice is all raspy seduction. “Holy sh—yes!”

And then she’s gone, coming her soul out under me, squeezing my cock so hard I see stars.

A mountain couldn’t hold me back.

Seeing her like this, totally broken by pleasure, hips crashing into mine and out of control, lost in soft, sexy moans as she comes on my dick, it’s officially too fucking much.

I come so hard I’m temporarily blinded.

Nerve endings I didn’t know I had light up like fucking Christmas, slashing down my spine, pouring fire into every extremity.

Feels like my hair’s burning, standing on end.

And my balls go off like live grenades, pouring their heat into her, claiming her raw pussy for the first time.

I come so hard my brain inverts.

No, I didn’t grab a condom in the rush.

And she didn’t protest one word.

We’re past barriers now, dangerously close to some animalistic union that might ruin every future hookup.

This is it.

The pinnacle.

Nothing else will ever compare.

And when I collapse and roll off her, Hattie’s there with her buttery gaze, smiling as she kisses me.

I think I’m holding an angel as she laughs softly, tracing my face with her fingers.

We spend the afternoon fucking,eating, and fucking some more.

Finally, as the yacht heads back to the harbor, we lounge on the ship’s deck to enjoy the sunset and our own simmering afterglow.

The stars come out full force, sprawling across the night sky in glittering swirls and constellations.

Call it cliché, but I wish this day didn’t have an end.

Not because it had more hot sex condensed into a few hours than most men get in a month—notjustbecause of that—but because Hattie talks to me.

Not like I’m Ethan Blackthorn, heir to a powerhouse real estate magnate and someone people fear when I enter a room.

We’re just Ethan and Pages.

She gives a damn about my hopes, my woes, my wisecracks about Ares.

Before, I couldn’t fathom how much I needed that.
