“My bedroom,” I panted. “Now.”
Gavin started up the steps to the second floor as if I weighed nothing.
“In a few months, that might be harder to do.”
He grinned and quickly made his way upstairs. Once we got up to the top of the steps, his mouth found mine again. In my room, he gently lay me on the bed, not once taking his mouth from mine.
When he finally moved his lips to kiss down my neck, I drew in a deep breath. “Make love to me, Gavin. Please.”
He lifted his head, and his eyes met mine. “You’re sure?”
On a sigh, I replied, “Oh yes. I’ve never been more sure of anything in my life.”
With a wicked grin, he pulled me up into a sitting position. He eased my sweater over my head and tossed it to the floor. Then he unclasped my bra with expert hands, slowly sliding it down my arms until it joined the sweater.
“Lie back and lift so I can get your pants off,” he said, even as he pinched one of my nipples, nearly driving me to orgasm right there.
I did as he said, and he pulled off my leggings along with my panties. I was completely naked on my bed. The way Gavin looked at me with such hungry eyes had me reaching down and slipping my hand between my legs. The ache was unbearable.
He took hold of my wrist and removed my hand, causing me to let out a whimper of protest. “Let me take care of that for you, angel.”
Spreading my legs, I watched as Gavin settled between them. My entire body heated when I felt him place a soft kiss on the inside of my thigh.
“Gavin,” I whispered as my hand went to his head. “Please.”
He didn’t wait a second longer. Burying his face between my legs, he licked and sucked as I writhed on the bed. My fists grabbed handfuls of my quilt, and I arched my back as the pleasure took over my body.
“Yes! God, don’t stop…”
And he didn’t. He slipped his fingers inside of me as he worked my clit until I was screaming out his name. When I finally came to my senses, I felt him get off the bed. He undressed quickly, and I rose up on my elbows to watch him. When he pushed his boxers down, I licked my lips.
“How did I forget so quickly how fucking big you are?”
He laughed quietly, then crawled over me as I lay back down. My hands explored every inch of his body I could reach as he settled between my legs.
“I don’t have a condom, Bry.”
One brow flew up as I said wryly, “Um, I don’t think we have to worry about that, Gavin.”
His cheeks turned bright red. “Not for pregnancy. It’s just that I’ve nevernotworn a condom during sex.”
“Well, that’s good then. I haven’t had unprotected sex, either. I’m clean and had every test possible before doing the implantation.”
He nodded. “I am too. When we…well…when things happened between us that first time, I went and got tested. Just to be a hundred percent sure.”
My heart felt as if it stuttered in my chest. I ran a finger lightly down the side of his face. “Thank you for that.”
Smiling, he nodded. “I would never want to hurt you in any way.”
It felt as if all the air in my lungs left me all at once. I opened my mouth to speak but was too choked up to utter a single word. And I didn’t have to when Gavin leaned down and captured my mouth with his. This kiss was so different from earlier. It was slow and tender.
I didn’t want to read into it because I knew it would break me if I was wrong.
“I’ve waited forever to make love to you, Brystol Duggan.”
And there went my heart. It was as if Gavin carefully opened my chest and retrieved it himself. I cupped his face in my hands and brought him back to me for another searing kiss. He reached down and positioned himself at my entrance, and when he slowly slipped inside, I broke the kiss and gasped. He wasbig, and I hadn’t had sex in a long time.
“Are you okay?”
