Page 21 of Still Here Without You

He laughs, and the sound runs right through me, straight to my core. He’s so fucking hot right now, I’m surprised my clothes haven’t melted off.

“Don’t worry, Del. You’ll be begging me for seconds, and thirds, and—”

“Less talk, more action,” I say, opening the door and moving inside. I don’t even bother looking around the room. Instead, I strip the loose tee I’m wearing over my head before reaching back for the clasp of my bra. My hands are stopped in their tracks, and a warmth spreads over me when Joel’s breath moves across my skin. He’s standing behind me, so close he could lick me. I stifle a shiver. God, do I wish he would lick me.

“Let me do the honors,” he rasps before flicking my bra open and tracing his hands slowly down my arms, following the path the straps take as they fall from my body. When his fingers reach mine, he links our hands and wraps both our arms around my waist, pressing himself against my back. I can feel every inch of him.Andfuck, there are a lot of inches.

Joel moves the hair off my shoulder before kissing the bare skin then making his way up toward my ear. When he reaches my lobe, he gently bites down before whispering between kisses, “You are so fucking beautiful, Delilah. Every.”Kiss. “Damn.”Kiss. “Part of you.”

Oh, God! A moan rips from within me, and I melt into his arms, no longer able to support myself. Joel seems to understand completely, because he pulls me against him and slowly walks us toward his bed. As soon as my knees hit the side, he spins me around and lifts me into his arms, gently placing me onto the mattress. I shouldn’t be thinking this, but it’s easy to see this is not his first rodeo. Not that I expected him to be a virgin. I’m not one myself, but I didn’t expect him to be so smooth, despite my jokes to the contrary.

When he’s made sure I’m comfortable on the pillow, he travels down my legs until he’s positioned between them. His fingers move under the waist of my leggings before he slides them down my legs, leaving me in nothing but a tiny black thong.

“Fuck, Del. Just when I thought you couldn’t get any better.” His eyes roam all over my body, something that you’d think would make me uncomfortable, but given the pure desire in his expression it actually makes me feel more at ease.

I can’t respond. I’m so turned on that I’m speechless from anticipation.

Joel kisses his way up one of my legs from my ankle to my hip before making his way across to my center. It’s so agonizingly slow, it’s like torture of the best kind. “I’m going to kiss you now…right here,” he says, moving my panties to the side and pressing his lips to my core. I moan out in pleasure as a bolt of electricity shoots straight through me, sending my pulse spiking to an alarming rate. I’m trying not to show it, but I’m nervous as hell. No one has ever been like this between my legs.

“Joel…” He doesn’t answer. “Joel, you don’t have to do this. We can do something we both enjoy.”

Joel peers up at me through his lashes, eyebrows raised. He licks me one more time, pulling a moan from deep within me, before stopping. “Are you not enjoying this? Because I fucking love it,” he says.

What?

“You do?” I ask, skeptically.

“I really fucking do. Now, shut up and let me work.”

My insides clench at his words, and my need takes over as the fear subsides. “As you were,” I say before falling back on the pillow.

Joel laughs against my body before licking me again, the vibrations of his laugh and feel of his tongue causing goose bumps to spread over every inch of my exposed skin.

He alternates between licking and sucking, leaving me writhing beneath him until I’m seconds away from losing my mind.

It only takes one more suck, and I scream out his name, my body convulsing in pleasure. “Fuck, yes. God, Joel.”

He continues until I’m squirming so much that I have to beg him to stop, then he finally sits up with a laugh.Of course, he fucking laughs.

“Get up here now, Joelle. I’m not done yet,” I pant out, looking up to see him.

“Of course, milady.” He winks, causing me to roll my eyes.

Making quick work of his clothes, he joins me on the bed, lying down next to me, then pauses, slowing things down. When he rolls to face me, I do the same. “Hi.”

“Hi, yourself.”

He smiles. “So…was that…are you?”

I half cover my face, shying away from his gaze. “I’m not a virgin. It’s just, no one’s donethatbefore.”

Joel pulls my hand away, bringing my focus back to him. “Fuck, yes.” He grins. “I love hearing that.”

“I’ll bet you do.”

“So, did youenjoyit?”

“Hated every second.”
