Page 46 of The One I Love
But in one night with Shane I’m beginning to realize what I’ve been missing. I didn’t know this was such an…experience. I thought it was an in and out. A thing you did. A box you checked once a month. I didn’t realize that it could make you wonder how you’re ever going to go without this again, because after just a taste you can’t imagine life without it.
“Shane.” I moan his name as I grab at his black hair. I pull a little as he slips a finger back in, his tongue flicking at my clit furiously. I feel my body start to tense as the orgasm begins to build, which makes me grab his hair even harder. Shit, that has to be hurting him.
“I’m sorry.”
This stops him immediately. “Why are you apologizing?”
“Because…I’m pulling your hair. I didn’t mean to.”
“Oh, beautiful,” he says, sliding back up so he can kiss me. I taste myself on his lips, which gives me a rush I wasn’t expecting. “Yank it out for all I care. But don’t you ever, and I mean ever, apologize for that. Now, I was in the middle of something.”
Shane dips down, throwing my legs over his shoulders as he dives back in. Only this time, he’s not gentle. He’s not taking his time. The man is on a mission. And I’m pretty sure that mission is to make me scream.
I grab his hair again, knowing I’m pulling harder than before, but I think it’s spurring him on. I feel him bring me closer, which seems impossible. His tongue is inside me, and it’s a sensation I’ve never felt before.
“I’m close, Shane. So close.”
His fingers find my clit, and with just a few strokes, I’m catapulting out of this bed. Well, at least my soul is. The onlyreason my body isn’t is because Shane is holding me, taking care of me through the high, and the eventual low.
Oh my God. I don’t know what that was, but I’m going to need it to happen again.
Shane leaves two small kisses on each of my hip bones as he rolls out of bed. I don’t know where he’s going, and I don’t look. My eyes are growing heavier and heavier as I settle into the softness of Shane’s bed. When I feel the warm towel between my legs, I smile but don’t look down. I can’t. It’s like I’m about to fall into the best sleep of my life.
No. I can’t. I need to fight this. He needs his. He’s given me so much tonight; I can’t leave him with nothing. I open my eyes as much as I can as he lies down next to me, which makes it all that much easier to slide down and take his length in my hand and begin to stroke.
“Hey,” he says as he reaches down to stop me. “There will be none of that tonight.”
I look up at him, clearly confused as to why he’d say that. “But you…”
He shakes his head. “If the next words out of your mouth are about to be ‘But you didn’t finish,’ we’re going to stop that right there. This is not a one-for-one. This is not just because you did, I did.”
“But—”
He holds a finger to my lips. “But nothing, beautiful. If you don’t think watching and feeling you come undone like that wasn’t the highlight of my night—of my life—then you don’t really understand how crazy I am about you.”
I smile. “It was?”
“It was.” Shane lifts up the covers, signaling for me to join him. “Come here.”
I oblige, nuzzling into his shoulder as he brings me into his arms. I feel him kiss the top of my head as I start driftingoff.
I never fall asleep right away. Usually I’m tossing and turning, because I can never turn off my brain.
But not tonight. Tonight I fall right asleep with my body sated and my brain calm for the first time in years.
And it’s all because of Shane.

Shane
I’ve always beena light sleeper. Chalk it up to years in the Army and growing up with a mom who snored so loud you could hear it a mile away. That’s why I’m so startled when I feel something under the covers. And that something is coming very close to my already aching morning cock.
“Amelia? What are you doing?” I slowly open my eyes and see her head resting on my shoulder. I don’t think it moved all night. And I’m not complaining about that one bit.
“Just feeling around.”
“Are you now?”
