“You’re doing wonders for my male ego, Ajay,” I returned, feeling that smile spread across my face.
“Somehow I feel like you don’t need me to stroke it,” he smiled back, fingers toying with my nipple.
“And yet, I’ll happily let you tell me how good it was as much as you like.”
“Think you might want to do that with me again sometime?” he asked, a hint of shyness creeping across his face.
I pressed a soft kiss to his lips. “We can do that any time you want, Ajay.”
He just smiled at me and that did it. I leant back down and kissed that smile, letting him know how very much I meant those words as he kissed me back in the same way, just a slow, gentle kiss that had no other end point other than just the fact I wanted to kiss him and he wanted to kiss me. Sometimes that was enough.
Especially when words couldn’t always say what might have been hanging in the air between us, trying to make its presence felt.
CHAPTER 19
ajay
Iwoke the next morning, the tang of salt in the air and that rhythmic lull of waves invading my conscience. A new, welcome kind of soreness also greeted my day as I stretched and felt that twinge deep inside me, a reminder of last night and everything Nick and I had done.
It had been incredible. Mind-blowing. Amazing.
So very, very good.
I knew Nick thought I was rushing things between us but I had always been a bit that way. Once my mind was made up about something I was all in. And I had made up my mind about Nick all right. Probably a lot earlier than I had even realised. I could see no point in delaying something we both clearly wanted.
And I had wanted it all right.
Nick made me feel things I had never felt before. It had all just felt so right last night, feeling him moving inside me, finding that spot of pure liquid gold I had thought was a myth, like his body had been made for mine. Although he had probably been right about tamping down my impatience. He was a lot to take for a first time.
I felt Nick shift beside me, his hand tightening where he held me across my stomach. He seemed to have some fascination with touching me there but why I could not explain. His stomach was the one worth fantasising about, not my perfectly flat one.
Nick’s eyes opened and landed on mine, his hand gently smoothing my skin as he woke. A sudden bolt of shyness landed on me. I hadn’t asked if I could stay the night in his bed. It had kind of just happened when we both fell asleep after that incredible and exhausting night of sex when I had been too boneless to move. But he had let me stay the night before so maybe I was worrying about nothing.
“Morning, gorgeous,” Nick murmured, still heavy with sleep and a smile tugging at his lips. It was enough to take that fleeting shyness away with it.
“Morning,” I returned with a matching smile.
“I would offer you another morning blowjob but I honestly think you’ll wake the house,” he grinned.
I huffed a laugh even as my cock twitched at the memory of yesterday morning’s perfect wake up call. “Yeah, sorry,” I grimaced. “I overestimated my control over my vocal abilities last night.”
“Don’t apologise,” Nick returned, voice dipped low. “I love that I make you moan so loud.”
I groaned as I covered my eyes with my arm. “I feel like I should be embarrassed.”
“Nope,” he laughed, moving closer and pulling my arm off my face. He grinned down at me, a satisfied smirk on that sexy face. “I think those might be my new favourite sounds.”
“Let’s just hope no one else heard your new favourite sounds,” I grimaced.
“Exactly. Those aremysounds,” he returned, leaning down to kiss my neck. “No one else gets to hear them but me.”
Oh, I did like that possessive little streak as a lick of heat curled in my stomach. Why I should like them when I had still not quite managed to shake off my last overly possessive girlfriend was a mystery but I certainly made no pretensions about being a psychologist.
“I’m pretty sure those sounds were just for you,” I admitted.
“Really?” he smirked, looking down at me with those bright blue eyes. “Nobody else has made you moan like that before, huh?”
“I really doubt you need me to stroke your ego any bigger than it already is.”
