He takes me in, reverence shining in those blue eyes. “You’re so goddamn beautiful, Ellie.” Once he’s gotten his fill, he looks back at my face, a smirk lifting the corner of his mouth. My whole body heats with the way he’s looking at me now. It’s like a flip has been switched, and the softness has been replaced with stark lust.

His voice is gravelly as he speaks. “Now, get on the bed and show me how much you want me, too.”

CHAPTER23

Adam

I yank on my tie,loosening the knot as Ellie climbs onto the bed. She lies on her back, her teeth clamped down on her bottom lip.

“Show me, Elliana,” I growl. My cock is so hard right now, it’s painful. Seeing her stand there, completely bare for me, sent me into overdrive. There was no softness left. The only thing going through my brain was one word.Mine.

She slides her feet to the side, spreading her legs wide for me to see she’s just as affected as I am.

I quickly undo the buttons on my shirt, sliding the material off my shoulders and dropping it to the floor. My eyes never stray from Ellie’s body laid out before me. There’s something driving me to claim her, as if I need to remind myself that she truly is mine. I don’t know if it’s what I witnessed with her mother today or whatever had her racing out of the house. Whatever it is, I have this urge to prove that we belong together, no matter what happens.

I make quick work of my pants, my belt buckle clanking as they fall to the floor with the rest of our clothes. I reach out to grab Ellie’s ankle, pulling it up to my mouth and kissing her soft skin. Her eyes track every move I make as I move up her leg. When I get to her inner thigh, I use my teeth to nip at the soft skin, continuing to move toward her center. My mouth waters at the thought of tasting her arousal, and I can’t wait a single second longer. I swipe my tongue through her slit, eliciting a long moan from Ellie. It drives me higher, forcing me to squeeze my cock to stave off orgasm.

“Adam,” Ellie moans. “I need more.”

“And you’ll have it. When I give it to you,” I say against her pussy. I love edging Ellie. She makes this noise when she’s desperate to come that I’m obsessed with hearing.

Ellie’s fingers slide into my hair, gripping with enough force to make me wince. I chuckle against her pussy, sending a shiver through her body from the vibrations. I suck her clit into my mouth and double down, using my tongue to drive her as high as she’ll go.

I fucking love eating her out. She completely lets go of every thought and emotion swirling inside her until all that’s left is for her to feel everything I do to her. It’s the only time she’s thinking of herself instead of everyone else around her. Being able to give that to her is almost better than when I get to sink inside her.

Using two fingers, I slide into her slick pussy, her walls strangling me so tightly I struggle to move them. Her body coils tighter around me, her orgasm hovering right on the edge. She’s holding back, either to prolong the feeling or because she’s too afraid to let herself fall.

“Come on my face, Elliana. Right fucking now,” I growl against her.

She moans at my words, every muscle tightening until she explodes. I love watching her come. It’s the hottest fucking thing I’ve ever seen. And knowing I was the one to bring her that amount of pleasure is a high I’ll never be able to emulate.

Ellie grips my hair and pulls me away from her clit when she becomes too sensitive. I wipe my face on her inner thigh, then move up her body, waiting for the moment she opens her eyes.

Those sapphire blue eyes slowly come into focus as she comes back down. “Your mouth should’ve come with a warning label.” Ellie grins.

I laugh, shaking my head at her cheek. “I’d say I’d be happy to stop, but it would be a lie. Watching you come apart on my face is one of my favorite things to watch.”

“What else is on that list?”

“Watching you come on my cock. They tend to duke it out for first place.”

Ellie laughs like I hoped she would. She hooks her ankles around my lower back and pulls my hips into hers. “Then we better see which one wins today.”

I slide my cock up and down her slit as she tilts her hips to grind against me. Notching the tip at her entrance, I press forward in one smooth thrust, her body geared up enough to allow me in easily.

A groan rumbles through my chest at the feel of her heat surrounding me. I don’t think I’ll ever get enough of her. Every single time we get to this point, it never feels like enough. Not only do I want to be inside her every chance I can get, but I also want to spend every minute by her side.

She makes me happy like no one has ever done before. I want her more with each new piece of information I learn about her. It’s the opposite of every relationship I’ve attempted before. Usually, I’m doing everything I can to distance myself from a woman. At this point, I want her even closer than she already is.

I pull my hips back, only to thrust forward again until I bottom out. “Fuck, you feel good.”

“More. I need more.”

“I’ll give you everything I have and then some,” I whisper against her lips. I’m talking about more than just sexually, but I’m not sure I’m able to put those feelings into words just yet. I’ve spent the majority of my adult life controlling every emotion I show the world. It’s the only way I’ve been able to combat being in the spotlight. It’s going to take me some time to figure out how to tell Ellie how I feel about her. I just hope she’s willing to wait for me to do it.

I wrap my fingers around the back of Ellie’s neck, holding her in place, as I continue to pound into her. Our bodies slapping together and our labored breathing are the only sounds in the room, creating a dirty soundtrack that only seems to heighten the moment.

Ellie runs her hands down my back, our skin slick with sweat as I push us higher. I lean onto one elbow and pull her leg up higher on my hip, allowing me to slide deeper into her pussy and grind against her clit at the same time.
