“Beautiful,” he breathed, trailing kisses down my throat. “So fucking beautiful.”
 
 Each brush of his lips sent sparks of pleasure racing through my body, building a pressure low in my belly that made me squirm. He continued lower, tracing his tongue around one peaked nipple.
 
 “Oh! That’s—that feels—” My words dissolved into a whimper as he sucked harder, rolling the other nipple between his fingers. My hands clutched at his shoulders, nails digging in just enough that I was sure to leave tiny crescents in his skin.
 
 He pulled back to watch my face as he pinched my nipples lightly. My mouth parted in a silent gasp. “Like that?”
 
 I nodded, desperate for more. “Please don’t stop.”
 
 “Gonna make you feel so good, pretty girl.” His hand slid down my stomach, teasing along the waistband of my shorts. “These need to go.”
 
 I lifted my hips, and Kai sat back to slide them off, slipping the fabric past my feet one at a time.
 
 “Can you please hurry?”
 
 Kai chuckled, amused by myneedfor him, to experience this with him.
 
 “Gotta get you ready for me first. Don’t wanna hurt you.”
 
 I suppose I could appreciate that sentiment. His was the only penis I’d ever seen, so I had nothing to compare it to, but it seemed entirely unrealistic that it would fitinsideme.
 
 Perhaps that romance trope was alive and well in this studio apartment.
 
 Kai ran his palms up my legs from ankle to hips, before he shifted, planting his elbows on the bed and spreading my thighs wide.
 
 “Such a pretty pussy,” he murmured. “Everything about you is just so fucking pretty.”
 
 And then he dove headfirst between my legs, putting that talented tongue to work. I’d keep his mouth there for days, if I could. The feeling of his tongue laving against my hot, wet center was exquisite. I sighed, melting into the mattress as he licked and sucked, nipped and kissed.
 
 He had me barreling toward my first of what was sure to be many orgasms within minutes.
 
 “Oh, Kai, yes. I’m going to—” He sucked on my clit hard, and I shattered, a scream tearing from my throat, just like he promised. Kai moaned as I came on his tongue, and the sound only ratcheted my pleasure higher.
 
 As I floated down from my high, Kai kept working his tongue against me, gentler now but still stoking the flames. When I whimpered from oversensitivity, he finally pulled back, chin glistening with evidence of my pleasure.
 
 “Your pussy tastes like fucking strawberries.” He crawled up my body, capturing my lips in a deep kiss. The taste of myself on his tongue should have been strange, but instead it just made me want more. Everything with Kai made me want more. “How is that possible?”
 
 His fingers traced along my center, gathering wetness before slowly pressing inside. The stretch was more intense than when we’d done this before—two fingers instead of one. My body tensed at the intrusion.
 
 “Relax for me, pretty girl.” Kai’s voice was rough with need, but still impossibly gentle. I forced myself to relax, focusing on the way his fingers curled inside me, hitting a spot that sent stars bursting behind my eyelids. Soon I was rocking against his hand, chasing another high, moaning so loud it echoed off the walls.
 
 Kai let out a low laugh and my skin erupted in heat. I immediately stilled and quieted.
 
 “What’s wrong?”
 
 “I’m sorry,” I whispered. “I know I’m being loud.”
 
 “Don’t you dare apologize. I fucking love how vocal you are. Love knowing exactly what makes you feel good.”
 
 My embarrassment melted away under the heat of his words and touch. His thumb circled my clit and pleasure sparked through me again.
 
 “Besides,” he added with a wicked grin, “we’re gonna get a lot louder before we’re done.”
 
 Oh god. Yes please.
 
 “Then maybe you should stop teasing and get on with it,” I challenged, though my breathless voice probably undermined the effect.
 
 His eyes darkened. “You sure about this?”
