KADE

FLASHBACK 7

Stacey has always been the girl out of reach for me. The girl I wanted but could never have. My sister’s best friend who hated me with everyfibreof her being.

I was the deranged kid. The mentally fucked-up kid. A boy who struggled with basic emotions.

But whenever I’m around her, I want to learn everything there is to feel. I want to be good enough for her. I want to be able to feel this way and not worry about it turning into something dark and sinister, the way it did with my parents.

Hurting Stacey would kill me.

I doodle while I wait for her to get out of the shower. We’re in a hotel in London, just after seeingThe Greatest Showmanlive intheatre. Stacey cried the entire fucking show, and it triggered something protective inside me I never knew existed.

Withoutrealising, I’ve drawn a rough design of both our initials interlacing with each other –unrecognisable, unless you know what to look for. I want to add vines and some roses to make it pretty for her, maybe a scripture of something meaningful, but I have no idea what it should say.

I leave it blank and work more on the details.

When the door unlocks, I quickly shove the paper into my pocket and get to my feet.

Holding a towel to her wet body, she stops in the middle of the room. “Hi.”

I smirk. “Hi.”

“I didn’t mean to fall asleep,” she says. “When I woke and you were gone, I thought…” She pulls her lip between her teeth.

I approach her, eating up the distance slowly. I’m still hard from devouring her pussy. She fell asleep right after.

“You thought what?”

She shivers as I drag my knuckles down her arm. “I…” She trails off, her head tilting to the side as I come closer and press chaste kisses against her fluttering pulse. My fingers tease across her towel, testing her reaction, and I pause when she hesitates. “I’m very inexperienced,Kade.”

“I nearly passed out when you sucked my dick in the studio before we came down here.”

The room was spinning, and I’m not ashamed to admit I slid to the floor and had to take a second. She did it again while I drove us down here, and I have no idea how I didn’t crash.

She blushes. “I’m still inexperienced in other stuff.”

I cup her cheek gently, lowering my voice. “So am I.”

“Doesn’t it bother you that I don’t know what I’m doing?”

I let out a disbelieving laugh. “Stacey, I don’t know what the fuck I’m doing either.” I caress her cheek with my thumb. “We’re the same. When we’re ready, we’ll learn from each other. No rushing. Okay?”

She stares at me, and I swear I see a shield behind her eyes lowering.

“Do you want to wait?” she asks softly, her eyes dropping to my mouth. Her towel stays on her as she wraps her arms around my neck, rising to her tiptoes. “For more?”

“Only if you need me to.”

“I think I need you now,” she says as her nose nudges mine. “I want to experience it all.” Her voice drops to a whisper against my mouth. “With you. Now.”

The kiss comes first, then her body is crushed to mine as I lift her into my arms, the towel dropping to the ground. With a hum of satisfaction, her back hits the mattress, and I’m on her.

She’s unbuttoning my shirt as my hands explore her body. I dig my fingers into her hips and press my hardening cock between her legs.

Then I pull away and unbuckle my belt, yanking the leather out and tossing it across the room. She reaches inside my boxers and palms my cock, gliding her nails up the underside.
