“Well, I sure as hell don’t want to share you with anyone, and I have no interest in pursuing other women. I thought it would be harder for me to adjust to doing this whole dating thing outside of sex, but this last month, it’s felt completely natural talking at night and just being with you.”
“We haven’t really discussed what we’re doing or where you see this going. Are you worried at all that you’ll get bored with me? I know you’ve never seen yourself with just one girl for any length of time. I think you used the wordprisonbefore when you described relationships.” I raise my eyebrows at him, causing him to laugh.
“Yeah, well, that was me being too stubborn to see what was right in front of my eyes this whole time. I guess, like you, I was saving a part of myself for the right girl.
“And to answer your question, hell no, I don’t think I’ll get bored with you. Truthfully, I’ve felt like I’ve been missingsomething for a while now. My apartment started feeling lonely a long time ago, but I tried to keep myself busy enough so I wouldn’t think about what that meant.”
I let his words sink in as he takes my empty container from my hands and sets it on the coffee table with his. “Come here,” he says softly, bringing me to his lap so I’m straddling him. “I want to make this work if this is what you want, too. I’ve never felt this way about anyone, and with you, I want to experience being in a relationship for the first time in my life. Do you see yourself with me as well?”
I feel the tears form in my eyes and nod. “I’ve been waiting a long time to hear you say that. Of course, it’s what I want.”
He swipes my tears with his thumbs. “Don’t cry, baby. I’m sorry it took me so long to realize my feelings for you were so much more.”
Shaking my head, I place my hand on his heart and feel it beating fast like mine. “Don’t be sorry. Everything happens for a reason, and I’ve always believed it was fate that you were my brother’s best friend and that we got to grow up together. We happened when the timing was right for the both of us.”
He brushes back my hair and shows those dimples that I adore. “So we’re really doing this then?”
“We’re really doing this,” I laugh. He grabs my face and kisses me hard, his tongue seeking mine. I greedily kiss him back and wrap my arms around his neck. He takes my lip between his teeth, and I moan when he sucks hard. I reach for his shirt, pulling it over his head as he does the same with my hoodie, both of us needing skin-to-skin contact.
“You look sexy as hell wearing only my underwear,” he whispers against my neck. I throw my head back as he lavishes my neck with his mouth. I feel him hard against me as I rub myself along his length. “There’s so much I want to do to you.” He sucks harder on my neck, knowing he’s leaving his mark onme again. “I fucking love that I get to be the one to give you all your first experiences. Do you know how hard that makes me? Knowing that I’ve been the only one.”
His words send a pool of desire between my legs. I gasp as he finds my already tight nipple. He scrapes it with his teeth before pulling it in with a long deep suck. Wanting to know if he likes it too, I run my fingernail over his nipple before pinching it hard. He moans against my breasts, and I smile before doing it again. His hands go into my waistband and cup my bottom, digging into my flesh and moving me against him.
I push myself up on my knees and step off the couch. I watch him as he watches me slowly lower the boxer briefs. His eyes roam my body, and there’s no mistaking the hunger I see in those emerald eyes. He makes me feel like I’m the sexiest thing he’s ever seen. I see him lift his hips and slide his shorts down before kicking them to the side. His arousal is evident on his glistening tip. Keeping contact with his eyes, I lower my hand and cup my wetness.
Smoldering eyes watch me, and I see his breathing increase as I slowly enter two fingers. I should be shy or unsure what to do, but he makes me feel so desirable that all I can think of is making him feel as much as he makes me feel. My body just knows what to do around him.
I watch him circle his hand around his swollen length, slowly bringing it up and down. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything sexier than what I’m seeing now. I move my other hand to my breast and squeeze it before rubbing my nipple. His eyes burn into mine as he grabs my wrist.
“Come here,” he demands, pulling me on his lap to where I’m straddling him again. He takes my hand and puts my two fingers into his mouth, sucking and licking off my arousal. I watch mesmerized. No, this is the sexiest thing I’ve ever seen.
He grabs my hips, his fingers digging intomy skin before he lifts me and fills me completely in one hard thrust. I gasp before moaning as he lifts me, coming back down again. He feels so deep inside of me at this angle it’s almost more than I can bear. My body welcomes him like he was made to be inside me.
Realizing I have all the power right now in this position, I start moving and savoring every inch of him. He moans when I go harder. His mouth seeks out my breast, and when he bites down hard, I cry out from the pleasure mixed with a little bit of pain. He soothes the spot with a lick, and my body goes into a frenzy. I put my hands on the back of the couch to get a better grip and move faster and harder on him.
“That’s it, baby. Fucking ride me and take what you need.” He grips my hips and slams me down even harder, and I cry out as my body convulses around him. “Fuck!” I hear him roar seconds before he lets go. My body trembles above him as my orgasm hits me hard. Just when I think I’m done, he pinches my clit hard, and another wave follows. I moan loudly as millions of sensations overtake me.
Coming down to my body, I collapse against him, and he wraps his arms around me. Our hearts beat fast against each other. I feel the wetness on my cheeks but have no memory of crying. I brush them back as he strokes my hair.
“Why are you crying? He asks softly. “Did I hurt you?” I can hear the concern in his voice, and I quickly shake my head against his chest.
“God, no. It was amazing. I guess I’m just overwhelmed with all the emotions. Every time with you is like an out-of-body experience. It just gets so intense sometimes. I didn’t even realize I had tears until after.”
“If it makes you feel any better, I almost cried too,” he laughs softly. “I’ve never had the emotional side of things with sex. When you add that in, it takes it to a whole other level.”
“I guess we both are having a lotof firsts.”
“Yes, we definitely are,” he says softly. I can hear the emotions in his voice and squeeze him tighter, loving that I get to see a side of him that nobody has ever seen before. There are a lot of layers to Maverick, and I have every intention of exploring every single one of them.
Chapter Twenty-Eight
Maverick
Watchingher sleep curled up next to me uncovers emotions in me that I never thought I wanted or was even capable of having. We had spent the evening watching a movie before I buried myself deep inside her again, holding her after as she fell asleep in my arms.
A fierce possessiveness washes over me, and all I want to do is protect her and make sure she’s happy every fucking day of her life. How could I have been so blind all these years? I noticed her beauty right away at a very inappropriate age, and I just stuffed it away in a deep part of me, never letting myself think about her in that way again.
The protectiveness never left, though. My need to watch over her only got more intense over the years, and my way of dealing with it was burying myself in someone else to take the edge off. All it took, though, was one look from her with her walls down, and she started to crumble mine until I was forced to deal with my feelings for her that I had buried a long time ago.
