“Oh good.”He swooped his lips down over hers and explored her mouth with the same exacting purpose he was employing with his cock.
Suddenly his orgasm started to build—he went from zero, well notzero, to sixty in nothing flat.He began to move faster, his hips snapping into hers.She met him, thrust for thrust.
He ripped his mouth from hers.“Come with me, Crystal.”
She cried out as her muscles tightened around him.Her legs squeezed him, and she dug her nails into his back.
With a deep, final stroke, he yelled her name.Once, twice, more times than he could count.He came hard, closing his eyes and abandoning himself to the dark oblivion.An eternity later, he eased his weight to the side but didn’t leave her completely.
She kissed his cheek and ran her hand through his hair over and over.He could fall asleep so easily, but he forced himself up and went to the bathroom to get rid of the condom.
When he went back to the bed, she was under the covers and had folded them back for him in invitation.They often dozed together afterward, but not always.That she wanted him to stay filled him with joy.
He slipped beneath the comforter and pulled it up as he snuggled against her.She turned, pressing her back against his chest and nuzzling her ass into his groin.
He groaned.“Careful.There aren’t any more condoms.”
“That’s right, so you’re just going to have to check yourself.”
He heard the smile in her voice and kissed her temple.Sliding his arm over her, he found her hand and linked his fingers with hers.
“So, that bad experience,” she said, her voice soft and vulnerable.“I had this boyfriend in high school.Turns out his condom supply was completely expired.I ended up pregnant.”
There was pain in her tone, and something else.Self-recrimination maybe.
He wasn’t entirely sure what to say but didn’t want to bombard her with questions.That she trusted him to share this was incredibly humbling.“That must’ve been tough.”
“Yeah.I didn’t know what to do.Alaina had already left for LA when I found out.I was absolutely lost without her, panicked.But then I miscarried, and I was so relieved.I was also pretty upset.What a dichotomy, huh?”She paused for a moment.“My boyfriend liked drugs— coke, ecstasy, and later heroin.I tried the coke and the ecstasy.”Her fingers clutched his, squeezing as she recounted her story.“I would’ve done the heroin if Alaina hadn’t invited me to come stay with her in LA.My mom basically told me I had to go or she’d kick me out.So I went.”She lightened her grip on his hand and stroked her thumb over his.“Alaina saved my life.”
“Sounds like your mom had a hand in it too.”
“You’re right, she did.”
He kissed her cheek, his lips lingering against her satiny flesh.“I’m glad you told me.”
She rolled to her back and looked up at him.“I’ve never told anyone about the pregnancy—other than Alaina.And my worthless ex, of course.”She shook her head and averted her gaze.“I try really hard not to think about it.That stupid condom brought it back up.”
She blinked, and he wondered if she was about to cry.He kissed her cheek again.“Shh.I’m sorry.I hope you don’t regret sharing that with me.I’m quite humbled that you would.”
She smiled at him.“Thank you.”She yawned.“I’m going to go turn out the lights.”
“No, I’ll take care of it.You still want me to stay?”
She nodded.
Later, after she was sound asleep in his arms he thought of when he’d first arrived, how he’d told her he could develop feelings for her.Too late—they were already there.If he wasn’t careful, he was going to fall head over heels in love.
Soin love.
