“Yes.” I flipped my face so that even in the dark I was facing him. He took that as his cue to tilt his head forward and kiss me.
When he pulled back, I felt his eyes even though I couldn’t see them. “I can’t put my finger on it, but something about you feels like home.”
His words were weighted, but not in a bad way. In a way that I resonated with, even though I had only known him for four days.
I was on my back and his body was hovering over mine within seconds. “Home, huh?” I asked, light from God knowswhere had found its way into the bedroom from the outside window.
He lowered his head and his lips were right back on mine. Wet, soft, and commanding. “We gotta stop before we… shit. Before we go too far.”
“What’s too far, Oden?” I asked, my legs wide open and body open for him while my mind asked just what the fuck I was doing.
He cupped my ass. “Too far to where neither of us can turn back. You know I want you, but I don’t want you thinking this is the only reason I invited you over tonight.” His lips went into my neck at the same time his body came down into the empty space between my legs.
“I didn’t think it was. I’m grown and so are you. What happens next, I wanted.”
“Good, ’cause once we go there, ain’t no taking nothing back.”
I nodded, unable to catch or carry my thoughts. “I’m good with that.”
He gave me a long look before nodding and shifting my body upward so he rested between my legs.
I should have been nervous, but I wasn’t. I was aroused by his whole being. His lips, his eyes, his demeanor, shit, even his stature. Oden was delectable and mysterious. One of those desserts with a mystery number of calories you didn’t need, but Lord knows you wanted them.
He pecked my lips before finding himself on his knees. He reached over me, going into the nightstand drawer. When he pulled the gold wrapper out, it didn’t take him long to work the condom down his length.
He helped me out with his draws that I had rolled up around my waist. Of course he tossed them across the room before using his fingers to play in my wetness.
“It’s so fucking wet. Shit you want me in here, don’t you?” He made a mess with his fingers, then replaced them with his dick.
“Mhmm.” Words failed me, so I moaned.
“Use your words, Jade. Tell me what you want and I’ma make it happen.” The way he was talking to me while massaging my throbbing center had my heart dropping with every motion. I was all but squirming in his embrace.
“I want you…” My words trailed off when he began to feed himself into me inch by inch, creating shockwaves through my body.
“You want me to do what, Jade?” He paused, waiting for the rest of my demand.
“Fuck me.”
The sinister smile on his face had me opening my legs wider. I wanted Oden in a way I had never wanted anybody else. Yeah, this was probably irresponsible, but for once I didn’t care about what I knew. I only cared about what I felt at this moment.
Once he was all the way in, he leaned down and kissed my chest, then my collarbone, and lastly my lips, before he pulled back and thrust forward fully, sending pure static electricity up my spine.
This was going to be a long night, and I welcomed all of it.
Chapter 4
Oden
When I opened my eyes, she was moving around getting dressed, telling someone she was on her way. She was apologizing profusely for being late in the most hushed tone. Whoever it was must’ve accepted her apology, because she quickly promised them she wouldn’t be any longer than forty-five minutes. I then watched her exhale a relieved breath.
“You weren’t sneaking out on me, were you, love?” I asked.
“Of course not, well maybe. I was supposed to be at a family breakfast this morning, and yeah, I’m here.”
“Am I seeing you tonight?” I tossed over my shoulder as I moved in the direction of the washroom. I didn’t bother dressing; shit, she had seen and felt what I was working with last night.
“Do you want to?”
