She smiles a little, but she doesn’t move any closer to me. “That’s a good start,” she says quietly. She looks at me, as if waiting for me to go on. I realize that she’s right; there’s so much more that I should say to her.
I clear my throat. “I know it’s not enough, and that I need to figure out a solution, but I’ll ask my brothers for help. I can’t keep exposing everyone to this kind of risk, and I need to deal with this problem like a man instead of running away…” My voice trails off as I run out of things to say. My heart is beating like a drum in my chest as I stare at her, hoping she’ll accept my apology or at least say something…anything.
“I’m glad you’re finally going to get the help that you need,” Lena eventually replies before pushing away from the door. She comes closer and hugs me, almost startling me with the change in her demeanor. My arms come around her, and I lean my headdown to press it against her silky hair. She smells good and feels even better, and I feel myself relaxing into her embrace.
“I hope I can finally be the man that all of you deserve,” I say huskily, trying to keep my body from reacting to her closeness, but I’m having a tough time hiding how much my body is reacting to her touch.
“I’m just glad that you’re aware that there’s more to life than achieving your next adrenaline rush. You need to have people you are close to as well,” she says gently and tilts her head back to look up at me.
I meet her green gaze, and my pulse starts racing again. I have a sneaking suspicion that she’s been fooling around with Aiden, and I don’t want to step on any toes, but there’s something in her gaze that makes me think that she feels the same attraction in this moment that I do.
“I…uh…” I clear my throat again, not sure what to do next, not wanting to leave but also afraid to impose. “I’m sorry for coming over so early, but I just had to talk to you.”
She shakes her head reassuringly, some loose strands of her blonde hair dancing around her face. “I’m not sorry,” she whispers in a husky voice. “Sophie is still asleep, which is really convenient since you’re here in my room.”
Feeling a jolt of lust coursing through me, I gulp. My cock leaps to attention and presses against my sweatpants. I know she canfeel my erection now. There’s no way that she could ever miss it with us pressed this tightly together.
“Are you and Aiden…” I start to say, but she silences me but pressing a finger to my lips again.
“We need to talk, all of us,” she says. “I don’t know…I just…I care about all of you.”
I stare at her, processing this information. I guess I’m not surprised. I had a feeling that something more was going on with Aiden, and maybe with Brody, too.Does it bother me? I guess it really doesn’t.Things have been pretty chaotic for all of us, and no one has had a moment to really breathe. All we’ve had are stolen moments to connect with one another. It’s probably been the same for the others as well.
“Are you mad at me?” she asks, looking worried.
I meet her gaze and then shake my head. “I’m not mad. But we really do need to talk about…boundaries…or if there are going to be any,” I tell her.
She bites her lip. “Agreed.”
“Do you still want to…” I start to say.
“Hush,” she says. “Just kiss me.”
I don’t need to be told twice. I duck my head and claim her lips, moaning into her mouth at the rush of pleasure that her kiss brings me. She tastes so good, and her soft body pressing against mine feels amazing. I have to bend down quite a bit to kiss her because she’s so tiny, but I love how big and powerful she makes me feel. Everything about Lena is soft and kind and inviting. She lets me be myself without judgment, without demand.
“You taste like heaven,” I murmur against her mouth as my hands slide down to cup her breasts. I thumb her nipples through the soft, silky material of her nightgown, and she moans softly, pressing their weight into my grip.
“I want you.” She tugs at my shoulders and backs us up toward the bed. I can see that she’s forcing herself to be brave enough to take charge of the situation, and I love it. I think it might be a new side of her, one that I’m glad to be getting the benefit of enjoying.
“How do you want me?” I ask her, my voice thick with lust. I draw her to a stop as her legs hit the bed, and I reach out to shove the robe off her shoulders. It puddles around her feet, and she looks up at me with her mouth ajar, as if she’s just waiting for me to kiss her again.
I hurriedly slip out of my sweats and the rest of my clothing, then stand before her naked and ready. Her eyes dip to my erection, widening at the sight of it.
“Let’s take this off first.” I reach out and catch the hem of her nightgown and slip it up over her body before casting it to thefloor. She isn’t wearing any underwear, and I stare hungrily at her curves. Reaching out a hand toward her, I tease her core, which is already wet and ready for me.
She closes her eyes and sways a little on her feet, humming with pleasure at my touch.
“How do you want me?” I repeat, wanting her to take charge again. I liked her sudden confidence. It was sexy as hell.
She swallows hard enough that I can hear it, then opens her eyes again. She slowly turns away from me, pivoting on her small feet, and climbs onto the bed on her hands and knees. She looks back at me over her shoulder, her mouth turned up in a naughty, little smile.
Grinning, I join her, stroking my hands over her perky butt, which she wiggles under my fingers invitingly. I hesitate for a moment, admiring her, then delve my fingers into her, feeling a thrill at the sound that she makes before pressing back, seeking more. She’s positively dripping at this point, more than ready for me, and I can barely hold back.
I drape my body over hers and bite down on her shoulder as I slowly press myself inside of her. I give her a moment to adjust, knowing how big I am. Not every woman can take me like this, but she seems to be more than up for the challenge.
“Oh, God, Tanner,” she keens softly, pressing her ass back until it’s touching my hips. “God, you’re huge. You feel so good.”
“I’m just giving you a moment to adjust…” I start to say, but she shakes her head.
