I pause.
‘Too much?’he asks.‘You can say if it is.’
‘No.’I shake my head, abandoning my plan to go slow.I need more.I need to feel him on me, in me, moving against me, with me.I want it all.And I don’t want to wait anymore.Really, I’ve wanted this ever since I sat down next to him at the Clamshell.
But mostly, I want to make this good for him.I grip the sides of my panties and shimmy them down my legs, kick them away.
‘Get that pretty pussy over here now, please,’ Knox growls.Two seconds later, I’m in his lap.
‘Ready, baby,’ Knox says.‘Hands on my shoulders.Let’s move this to the bedroom.I want to make it perfect for you.’
We’re halfway down the hall when Knox’s phone rings.
‘You’ve got to be fucking kidding me,’ he growls.
‘It could be the hospital.’
He presses me against the wall, his cock teasing at my entrance.His chest heaves and he closes his eyes for a second before he checks his watch.‘It’s work.’
‘Do you need to get it anyway?’I slide against him, his cock slipping inside me.We both moan.
Please say no.
‘Nope.I don’t need to be doing anything else right now.’Knox’s hips inch forward and he sinks even further inside me.This is a stretch I’ll never complain about.
‘I thought you were taking me to bed?’I kiss the underside of his jaw, making good on my earlier promise to lick his Adam’s apple.
‘Is that what you want?’Knox asks.‘Soft and sweet?Or do you like this better?’
It’s easy to answer honestly.To ask for what I want.Something that’s never happened before.‘I want it all.But right now … I want it right here.’
He hitches my legs higher, thrusting into me.So hard that soon all I can do is babble about how good it is, how goodheis, to not stop, to beg for more.Fire licks around my body and I’m overheating, my senses collapsing as pleasure consumes me.I squeeze around Knox, trying to draw him towards the edge with me.
‘Jesus, fuck,’ Knox grits out when I pull his hair, my mouth open against his, our breath mixing and merging and skating over skin that feels like it will never, ever cool down.
‘Shit.I didn’t put a condom on.Let me … Gen, baby … stop,I’m going to—’ Knox squeezes his eyes shut and clenches his jaw.‘Please stop moving.’
I curl my fingers around his chin.Wait until he’s looking at me.‘I’m on the pill.And I’m clear.’
‘Yeah?Me too.’
I answer him with a kiss, pouring everything I have into it and grab his ass, urging him forward.
His thumb finds my clit – and for a second I marvel at his coordination and strength because he’s basically holding me up against this wall with one arm – and he presses down.I shatter and it’s all over.I’m weightless.Soaring above the Earth, nothing but bright colours and light all around me.
‘You’re so pretty when you come.’
He knows all the right things to say.
‘Only to you,’ Knox says and my eyes snap open.
‘Huh?’Did I say that out loud?
‘I only know all the right things to say to you, Halliday, because you were made for me.’
With one last snap of his hips and a bruising kiss that sends me soaring again, Knox comes.
We’re still for a full minute.Hands full of each other.Gazes all tangled up together.
