“I’m so close,” I murmur and bite my lip, my body readying for an orgasm.
Daire stands, suddenly. Strips his pants, gets something from his nightstand, and returns to the bed. He rolls on a condom and lowers his body to mine again.
I spread my legs wide and moan at the feel of his erection at my core.
“Daire, please.” I’ve never wanted anything so badly. I raise my head and capture his lips in a reassuring kiss.
He accepts my wishes, cups my cheeks, runs his hand down to my breast, pinches my nipple, and then reaches between my legs. He teases my clitoris until I’m bucking beneath him again, seeking his length.
“What do you want?” Daire whispers as he kisses under my ear.
“You inside me.”
That gets a crazed reaction from him. He devours my lips and rubs the tip of his penis against my core before pushing in.
“Yes,” I moan into his mouth. “More.”
“Fuck, Everleigh,” he hisses. “You feel amazing.” He slides deeper until he’s buried completely inside me.
I work my hips, needing to feel him, to feel more. “Go fast and hard.”
Daire rises onto his arms, push-up style, and thrust his hips, hitting me where I need it.
I moan with each sharp thrust, loving it as I creep closer to my release again.
Sweat coats my skin and Daire’s. Our bodies slap where we meet, our kisses sloppy between our moaning.
He sits back on bent knees and grabs me by the hips, rocking my body to meet his thrusts. I close my eyes and give my body over to the sensations. The moment is everything, perfect, exactly what I need. Soon, I’m there, my muscles contracting with an all-consuming orgasm as I cry Daire’s name into the night.
Chapter18
Everleigh
I waketo the feel of silky sheets on my body and a mattress soft enough to be a cloud. Muted sunlight filters through walls of windows that look frosted. The view through them was clear last night.
Last night. A blush heats my cheeks as I recall Daire’s strong body worshiping mine. I assumed sex with him would be good. I hadn’t imagined his Adonis body naked and the visual appeal it would have on me. The way he kisses is like a fantasy and the things he does with his hands and mouth are equally impressive.
I roll onto my back, aching in a good way, until other parts of last night return like a nightmare.
Grandpa is gone from this world. He’s with our family in heaven, and as happy as that reunion makes me, my heart misses him. It’s silly. He hasn’t been gone for longer than a day and I miss him. I miss knowing he was at home, waiting for me. I miss not knowing what to expect when he greeted me. I miss the chaos. How dumb am I? Mostly, I’ll miss the way his eyes light up when I mention the park or bring him pecan pie.
For a year, my world has revolved around him and his needs. What will I do with my time? Who will I care for?
I can’t think about this right now.
The bed is empty on the other side, and I’m thankful for the solitude. I didn’t go into this assuming Daire would be holding me when I awoke.
This was for one night. He did what I asked, and I loved every moment. I loved being in his arms and feeling him against me and inside me. Nothing ever felt so right before in my life.
Maybe it was the moment and all the drama leading up to it that made it so great.
I should thank him, but how do I do that without it coming off as strange?
I should emerge from the room and see if he’s ready to take me home. He’s put his life on hold enough for me as it is. How do you thank someone for being so selfless during one of the worst moments of your life?
I stand and realize my clothes are missing. A black robe covers the bottom of the bed. I slide it on and make my way into the other room, my eyes exploring everything I didn’t notice last night. Modern furniture with the continued color scheme of black and white, although there are a few natural textures and colors in the form of decorative baskets, trays, and plant vases.
The windows in the great room have clear views of the surrounding buildings. The space seems less modern with all the natural light. I notice more natural elements in decorative pieces out here, too, and a few plants.
