Page 65 of A Love Like That

“So good,” she echoed in a whisper, leaning her forehead against mine.

I froze, gripping her hips.

“Condoms,” I gasped. Her pussy was gripping me so tightly it made it difficult to think. “I don’t have any condoms.”

What was I thinking? I didn’t know if she was on birth control. We weren’t using a condom. I couldn’t derail her future, let alone my own, with an unwanted pregnancy.Shit.

“I have an IUD.”

“But—” I gasped when she rose up and sank down on me again. Taking me in all the way. How the hell was I supposed to focus on anything else?

The feel of her body on mine was ecstasy. The way her eyes held my gaze consumed me.

“Wait. Just wait.” I gripped her hips, holding her above me, but only just.

“I had a preliminary physical for the JET Program. I was given a clean bill of health.”

“I, um—” I cleared my throat. “I’ve only ever been with one person, and yeah…” I shook my head. “Same.”

For a moment, we paused. Our eyes met, the ghost in the room weighing heavy—Tessa.

“Should we stop?” Elle asked.

“Do you want to?” I held her close. Not wanting to let her go.

She shook her head, and I knew I needed to take back control. For both of us. We were too far gone already.

“Then ride my cock.” I pressed my fingers into her hips. “Make yourself come.”

She did as I asked, determination marking her features. She seemed intent to chase away the demons. And I let her.

I reached between us, rubbing her clit with my hand. It felt as if my entire world, my entire being was wrapped up in her. And this moment.

“Yeah. Just like that,” I said.

I smashed my lips to hers, craving that connection. Knowing this wouldn’t last, but needing it to all the same. Even as she gasped into my neck, my name on her lips when she started to shake. Her walls pulsating with her release. Even when I started to unravel.

“Elle, I’m gonna—”

“Yes,” she hissed, her movements wild, skin flushed. “Let go.”

White lightning shot up my spine. “Fuck. Yes.” I grunted, digging my nails into her skin as my climax ripped through me. I convulsed, coming inside her.

And then she collapsed against my chest, our bodies intertwined. My cock still inside her, throbbing deep within her core.

“Wow,” she panted.

I stared up at the ceiling, still trying to catch my breath as water streamed down on us. “Yeah.”

I wasn’t quite sure what had just happened, but I was pretty sure my world had shifted.

“Earth to Tristan,”Enzo said from beside me. His arms were crossed over his chest, his tattoos on display.

I’d gone to Fall River Estates to check in on the equipment and talk to him about a few updates to the software. But my mind was on Elle, as it often was. My thoughts consumed with the purple-haired ray of sunshine that currently resided in my guest room.

I didn’t know what had come over me yesterday. I’d never been like…thatin the bedroom. It felt as if something had been unlocked inside me—or perhaps, unleashed.
