“I don’t want anyone else to see this fucking beautiful view.” I feel the palm of his hand on the small of my back. He presses me down, slowly, firmly onto the mattress. My stomach is flat against the comforter, and he pulls my panties down past my knees and my feet, and now I’m totally naked but I just want Holden to cover me with his body. “I’m gonna come back to this later,” he says, rubbing my butt with both hands. “I know I said I’d describe what I’m seeing, but there are no words for this. Exceptfuuuuuck, so hot.” And then he flips me over.
I can feel him adjusting the sleep mask so it’s on straight, and then his lips brush against mine. His tongue flicks against my bottom lip and my lips part, and he kisses me so deeply, pressing down on me with his body just like I needed him to. He’s still wearing his underwear, but I can feel his erection pressing against the apex of my thighs, and he is so hard, it must hurt him.
“I’ve wanted to kiss your sweet lips ever since I first saw you,” he says into my mouth. “Your mouth is pretty—you know that?”
I nod.
“You do, don’t you?”
“I always try to be kissable,” I tell him.
“You are so fucking kissable, Piper. All over.” He kisses my jaw, my neck, and then there’s a cool rush of air as his body leaves mine. He holds my right foot, slowly bends my leg by pushing my foot up. My leg is bent flat against the bed, so my knee is parallel with my hip. “Flexible, huh?”
“Guess so.”
I feel his lips just above the inside of my ankle. “You have great legs. You know that, right?”
“Guess so.”
He nips at the curve of my calf. “I like this part, right here,” he says, stroking me just above the inside of my bent knee, where it starts to curve into my inner thigh. He presses kisses up my thigh and then licks me. “So wet for me. God.” He blows warm breath where he licked me, and I quiver uncontrollably all over.
He makes a guttural sound, and I’m very glad I can’t see him right now because I have a feeling he’s staring at my womanly treasure. I have the most incredible sensation, like a galaxy of stars is being born in my abdomen. His hand rests on my pubic bone and his thumb is pressed against my clit. I wriggle around. Can’t stay still. I’m so aware of how slick it is down there already.
“Beautiful girl.” His tongue grazes my center, just once.
I cry out.
I’ve never felt anything like this.
He does it again. And again. Then he flicks the tip of his tongue against my swollen clit. It’s so sensitive. I yelp and shudder.
“Baby…”
“Holden!”
His tongue goes in and out and around, like he’s French kissing my lady business. I’ve read about this, so many times, but this is so much more than anything any words can describe. Exceptfuuuuck, so hot. It’s so much. It’s too much and I can’t stay still and he doesn’t stop.
I grip the comforter and scream his name, bucking, and kicking my feet. There are supernova explosions of the kind of energy that fuels the universe, and it’s all inside me, trying to get out. I didn’t know it could be like this. I’m still thrashing aroundand shuddering when I realize his mouth isn’t on me anymore. His tongue has left a trail of shooting stars between my legs.
“I think you’re ready now, Piper,” he says into my ear.
“Yes. Yes! Now!”
NINETEEN
Holden
SHOULD BLINDFOLDING AN ACQUAINTANCE BE THIS HOT?
Jesus fucking hell, I have never needed so badly to be inside a woman.
“Hang on a second—I have to get something from the other room,” I tell her.
“There’s condoms in the drawer by the bed,” Piper says. “Shay made me put them there.”
Fuck it. They’re closer. I crawl across the bed to open the drawer, and I don’t even close the drawer before tearing open a packet.
“Wait! Wait!” she calls out.
