“Three times might kill me,” she says weakly. I shimmy her skirt down from her waist, covering her thighs, and she gives me a smile. “Thank you.”
“Hopefully this isn’t the worst part of your night like last time.”
“Far from it.” A piece of hair is stuck to her sweat-covered forehead, and she brushes it away. “Wow. I’m realizing I’ve never had a guy give me an orgasm without kissing me.”
“Do you want me to kiss you?”
“That’s okay. You don’t seem like a man who?—”
I step toward her, crowding her space. I put both hands on her cheeks, tipping her head back until my nose brushes against hers.
“You should know something about me, angel. If you want it? Ask. I’ll give it to you. Do you want me to kiss you, Maxine?”
“I think I’d like that,” she whispers, and I smile. “Please.”
“With pleasure,” I purr, crashing my mouth against hers.
Her lips are warm and full and they part, opening for me. I sneak my tongue in her mouth, brushing it against hers, and she wraps her arms around my neck. She hitches her leg up against my hip, surprising me when her teeth sink into my bottom lip. Each swipe of my tongue coaxes soft noises out of her, and I could listen to them all night.
When I break away from her, she’s breathless.
So am I.
“That was…” Maxine trails off and touches her mouth. Her lips are starting to swell, and I hope I have some of her lipstick on me. A souvenir, along with her cum on my hand. What a lucky guy I am. “Wow.”
Wowis fucking right.
I think my brain is fried after twenty minutes with this woman.
Heaven help me when I get a whole night with her.
“Be good, Maxine. And don’t miss me too much.” I kiss her forehead. “I’ll find you again one of these days.”
“Thank you for—well. Yeah.” She clears her throat. “Goodbye, Hunter.”
She slides away from the wall, slinking toward the path that will bring her back to the queue. With one more look over her shoulder, she gives me a small smile and disappears into the night.
I miss the fuck out of her already.
SEVEN
MAX
I’ve been livingin a daze.
My feet are off the ground, and I can’t stop smiling. Days have passed, but my head is still in the clouds. I’ve run through my encounter with Hunter so many times, I have every single detail memorized: his burning gaze as he glanced up at me. Large palms, a commanding voice. My foot on his shoulder and his desire to take care of me.
Repeatedly.
This is a new side of sex I’ve never seen before. The confirmation I needed that I’ve been sleeping with the wrong people up to this point.
He set the new gold standard and didn’t ask for anything in return.
So selfless, such aman.
I fall asleep thinking about him and wake up turned on, halfway to an orgasm and having to bury my face in my pillows so Skyler doesn’t hear me moaning from down the hall.
There was something magical about the way he touched me. Possessive, but gentle. Rough, but sweet. He knew he had the power to fully control me, but he didn’t. It was like he was being careful, treating me like I was important.
