Page 31 of Tainted Deception

I didn’t say a word. I didn’t tell her that I’d seen her as mine since I arrived on campus. My stomach knotted when that realization hit me. Ellie would not be happy if she found out how I felt about Rynn. My past was layered in secrets, and Ellie had done everything to keep my life hidden. She wouldn’t want me getting involved with Rynn because it would be dangerous for both of us.

Rynn sighed. “Maybe we shouldn’t do this.”

My fingers tightened on her thighs. “Just answer one question. Why don’t you want to be mine?”

She didn’t say anything right away, and I was curious if she’d tell me the truth. I wasn’t sure if it was the entire reason, but I had a feeling that those two assholes were part of it. She might act like they didn’t mean much to her, but the fact that she’d slept with them told a different story.

“We’re here for a reason,” she finally muttered. “And we can’t get distracted. Plus, you already act like I’m yours, and your controlling tendencies would only get worse if I actually was. You would drive me crazy.”

Her tone was playful, but she spoke the truth. Too bad that was already how I thought. I didn’t care what we were labeled. I already saw her as mine. But for her benefit, I decided not to argue. For now, anyway.

“Fine,” I relented, leaning forward and kissing her. “I’ll only distract you when we’re alone. Like right now.”

“I’m serious,” she breathed out, tilting her head when I kissed her throat. “This is only sex, Gage. Nothing else.”

“Only sex?” I questioned roughly. “Once I start, that’s all you’ll be able to think about.”

I didn’t let her get another word out before I scooted her forward until her ass was at the edge of the counter. I dropped onto the barstool, letting out a groan when I was level with her pussy. Fuck, I’d been obsessing over doing this again ever since the night I handcuffed her to the bed. I wrapped my arms around her thighs and lifted a bit. She dropped back until her spine hit the countertop instead of staying sitting up and trying to keep her balance.

“I’ve been dying to taste you again,” I murmured. “Be a good girl and stay still for me, Rynn.”

I dove down, running my tongue over her pussy, enjoying how her legs immediately tried closing around my head. I kept my arms tight on her thighs, keeping her where I wanted, as I sucked on her clit, letting my tongue piercing graze her. She let out a small moan, already beginning to squirm as I continued to assault her clit.

I sucked and grazed her clit with my teeth, making her arch her back. Her palms slapped down on the counter as she began trying to escape my hold, her moves proving I was doing all the right things. I pressed my mouth against her, inhaling her addictive scent, loving her taste with every swipe of my tongue.

Her legs trembled around me, and when her body began tensing, I pulled my mouth from her and raised my head. She was already glaring at me, moving up to rest on her elbows. I dramatically licked my already wet lips before grinning.

“I already claimed your first orgasm with my tongue.” I released one of her thighs to slide a finger into her pussy. “I’m going to take your next one without touching your clit.”

“What?” she panted, fully focused on what my fingers were doing.

“Have you ever come that way before?”

I wasn’t even sure I wanted an answer. Because there were only two other guys who had gotten her off, and I wanted to claim another one of her firsts. She didn’t respond. Her hips rocked until I stilled, keeping my fingers inside her. She let out a frustrated noise, her eyes snapping back to mine.

I tsked. “Communication, Rynn. You know what your G-spot is?”

Her cheeks flushed. “Of course I do.”

“Have you come from that alone?” I asked, trying to keep my voice even.

“No,” she said slowly. “I need my clit touched.”

Excitement strummed through me, and I reached forward and grabbed her arm, hauling her off the counter.

“It’s going to be fun to prove you wrong,” I said, carrying her to the couch. “One more question.”

“What?”

“Do I need to go get a condom?”

She stared at me in surprise as I held her, waiting to sit on the couch until she answered me.

“I’m on birth control,” she stated. “As long as you’re clean—”

“I haven’t slept with anyone since coming here. Did you use condoms with…them?” I tried really fucking hard not to sound jealous when talking about Jace and Kian. The fact that they’d slept with her first had rage bubbling through me. But I wouldn’t let it ruin what we were about to do.

“Yes,” she answered, her voice firm. “I’m not going to feel bad for sleeping with them, Gage.”
