“Yes.”

A low chuckle rumbled in his chest.

I gasped as his thumb pressed against my clit while his fingers curled inside me. I shifted my hips, lifting them as much as I could with the weight of him on top of me as his fingers pumped in and out.

“Does this feel good?”

“Soooo good,” I moaned.

His fingers continued moving. A spiral of sensations began to coil inside me. Even though my eyes were closed, I squeezed them and focused on that tiny ball of sensation swirling inside me, building and building. I held my breath.

“Not yet, Nora,” he taunted, removing his fingers with me right on the cusp.

“What…”

He moved down my body, pulling my panties down my legs.

I closed my eyes as his mouth replaced his fingers, his tongue moving against my clit.

“Je-sus,” I breathed as the sensations began to swirl again, building and building as he licked his way around my clit, torturing it with exact precision as my body let go. The swirl of sensation released, tremors rocking through me as Kyler kept at it. Wave after wave. Shiver after shiver. Then, an invisible hum radiated over my body.

Kyler’s tongue disappeared. He moved back up my body and pressed his lips to mine. “That’s what it should feel like when you’re with someone special.”

I stared at him speechlessly—for so many reasons.

He shifted off me, rolling me onto my side away from him. He wrapped his arms around me and held me as my heavy breaths continued, the satisfied buzz still radiating from my skin.

“What about you?” I asked.

“What about me?”

“Isn’t it your turn?”

“Is that what your ex made you think?” he asked.

I shrugged, though his strong arms around me made it near impossible.

“Well, that’s not how it works. Tonight was about you.Onlyyou.”

“But won’t you turn blue?”

He pulled me closer to him as his chest shook with laughter. “I’ll be okay,” he assured me. “Areyouokay?”

“Very,” I sighed.

He lowered his lips to my shoulder and peppered my skin with feather-light kisses. “Oh, sweet Nora. Why did I have to meet you now?”

“Because you needed me.”

“I still need you,” he said.

The most heartbreaking thing about it was, I felt the same way. I needed him in ways I had no right to. And,thatscared the hell out of me.

CHAPTER 13

It was difficult to make eye contact with Kyler after last night. But I thought I played it off well by getting up, showering, and dressing while he still lay in my bed. I figured he was waiting for me to say something, but how did you verbalize how it felt to be with someone who made you feel special? Someone who put you first? Someone who was not really there?

I was seriously hopeless.
