His tongue lapped as he dipped a finger into me, and I nearly shuddered from the experience. Slowly, he probed, and tickled, and pressed his sweet lips against me, licking and tasting and finding the spot that made me growl when he pressed his flat tongue against it and rubbed. My hands gripped the sheets, and I arched my back, forcing his face to bury deeper into my pleasure.

As he deepened his exploration with his fingers, his tongue teased against me, and I was unable to control myself. I fought it as long as I could, but a quick flick, followed by a tiny suck at the same time as he fingered me deep, was my greatest undoing. Although my eyes were closed, I saw stars and colours, and a voice I didn’t recognize growled out of me, filling the room with its gratified sound.

“Oh, David.” My breath came in waves. “Oh my god.”

He covered my mouth in kisses, and for the first time in my whole life, I tasted myself; all sweet and savoury. A bit of a turn-on, not that I needed any more help.

He reached over me and into the drawer beside the bed, fumbling for a condom. Expertly, he rolled it over his length and lay prone on his back.

A night full of firsts, since I’d never been on top before, but I couldn’t wait to try. Feeling wildly alive and unabashedly free, I straddled him, and it gave him full access to my bouncing breasts, which he stared at. As I maneuvered over him, he guided his thickness into the right spot, having first tested it with his fingers. I was still on fire. Slowly, I lowered over him, feeling him fill me up in the best way.

“Lean back and use my thighs for support.” His own words were breathless.

Unsure, I did as he suggested. While his one hand palmed my breast, with the thumb focused on my erect nipple, his other hand slipped back between my legs and searched out my pleasure zone.

I rolled forward in ecstasy, but found it wasn’t quite as stimulating when I cut off access, so trying to remind myself to keep breathing, I leaned back. This time, both his hands moved to squeeze my hips and he rocked me back and forth over his pelvis, until his thumbs slipped a little lower and worked me back into a frenzy.

As I bucked my hips with all the sensations rocketing through my body, he pumped his pelvis and his thumbs rubbed and circled and pressed. The harder I moved, the firmer the pressure, and I was sure I would explode all over him once more. When he released the pressure and instead made teasing little touches, I squeezed his thighs as another orgasmic wave crashed over me and threatened to wash me out. With that, he grabbed my hips and moved me back and forth, the speed increasing the longer he held his breath, until finally, he grunted and groaned, his hands dropped to the sides in satisfaction.

Fighting to catch his breath, he blew the words out. “Damn, Erin, that was magnificent.”

“I agree.”

My pounding heartbeat made my words as erratic as my thoughts, and I did the only thing to come to mind, and that was curl up beside him, pressing my back against his firm wall of a chest.

Laying in his arms, sweaty and spent, I couldn’t wait to do it again. It had been far too long since sex made me feel this good, this lit up inside, like I could take on the world.

Chapter Fifteen

Waking up in the morning, snuggled under David’s heavy arm was a new one. But it felt perfectly natural.

“Good morning,” he said, as he kissed my bare shoulder.

I rolled over and stared into his handsome face. “Good morning.”

“That was some night, last night.”

“Best I ever had.” My heart was as full as my body was exhausted. It was a tremendous feeling.

“Really?”

“Why do you sound so surprised?” I pressed my naked body against him.

“Because you’re you, and gorgeous. Every man’s dream.” He lazily ran a fingertip over my hips. When he did that at three am, it led to another round of the best sex ever, for the third time.

“And what about you? You were married, surely you had many nights like that?”

His gaze flipped to the ceiling. “Never. She was a one-and-done type, typically heading straight to the shower afterward. There was no cuddling, and I wasn’t allowed to sleep with my arm around her.”

“Guess that’s why you divorced her, huh.” The words slipped out before I could stop them.

“Well, that was part of it. Where she wouldn’t do that with me, she had no problems snuggling with someone else.”

“Oh, Jesus, I’m sorry.” All my life I’d never understood why people cheat. Just man up and end things first, how hard was that?

After pulling the sheet over my naked body, I rested my head on his shoulder and trailed my fingers around his tight chest.

“It is what it is. She moved on, but it was the darkest point in my life.” His voice softened, but his body tensed. “About seven years ago, I discovered the truth. In my own house, no less. I kicked her out, dumped all her things on the lawn, and sold the place.”
