I swallow again. He's got me.

I accuse him of acting like a jealous boyfriend, but now I'm the one acting like a jealous girlfriend. But there's something about the way he says it that gets to me. He's being so brutally honest. He's being so open with me.

He lays his hand on my stomach again and leans closer. His masculine scent overcomes my senses. I'm gone. I want him.

He places a kiss on my lips as his hand begins to roam my body. He raises up on one elbow and puts his full weight on me as he continues to kiss me.

I want him all over me. I want him in me. I want him to claim me again. My pussy yearns for him. He pulls the sheet from between us. I'm naked. Exposed. Open.

His eyes take in my body for a few seconds, then he dips to take one breast into his mouth. He rolls his tongue over it, sending jolts of pleasure all over my body. He kisses my other breast, my neck, my collarbone, my chin.

Then he slides his hands down to my waist…down to my clit. I shiver under his touch, pressing my lips to his more intensely as I moan. I’m wet already. He glides a thick, rough finger down my clit to find my opening. He slips just one finger in at first, but it's so big that it feels like two fingers. Then he adds more and slides them in and out.

I'm a mess, a puddle. I'm melting like a cone of ice cream left in the sun. I'm his, and he can do with me whatever he pleases. I run my hand down his back as he pleasures me.

I like a man who doesn't just dive in for his own pleasure. I like a man who gets off on getting you off. And that's exactly what's he’s doing. He circles his fingers around my clit, then slides them into my pussy. He puts his thumb on my clit with his fingers in my pussy and starts to work it.

Just when I’m about to come, he stops. "I don't want you to come just yet. I've got things I want to do to you with my dick." He shifts to the side, and I feel his hard cock on my thigh. He inches up, slowly pulling his fingers out of me and brings them closer to my mouth. I open up and he sticks them in. I can taste myself on him. Then he brings his mouth up to me to taste me too. He tangles his tongue with mine as he slowly removes his fingers. As we kiss, he parts my legs with one hand and presses the tip of his cock to my entrance, working his way in.

I swear he’s gotten bigger since the last time. He stretches me wider and wider until I’m full of him. He slides in and out of me as he groans into my ear, our skin in full contact; the last time we weren’t completely naked, this time it's different. It feels more intimate. It’s raw and encompassing. He's truly claiming me this time. He owns me in this moment. He's giving me something I won't forget for a long time, even if I want to.

He's so strong. He's so fucking strong.

Just as he's beginning to grunt and about to come, he pauses for a moment but doesn't pull out.

He slides one of my legs up over his shoulder and starts to trust again. This time he's going deeper. I don't know if it's the leg he has up, but I feel it more. He hooks his other hand behind my neck and holds me up so I can see.

I watch as he glides in and out of me. I watch as he splits me open. I watch as his huge cock takes me on a journey. A journey I didn't know I'd be going on tonight. An unexpected one, the best kind. The kind that takes you unaware.

I suspect he’s trying hard to delay his release, because he slows down again, breathing roughly. Then he picks up pace. This time he doesn't stop. He doesn't wait. He doesn't have mercy on me. He slams in and out, driving me to insanity and throwing me off the edge. I fight back a scream as I climax. He pounds hard and grunts deeply into my ear until he fills me with his come, which I feel the hot blasts of deep inside my body.

I'm left breathless. I'm left reeling beneath him. My head spinning out of control, dizzy, electric jolts shooting down my legs.

When we’ve regained a bit of composure, he kisses me lightly on the chin.

"I want to do this again. What do you say?"

When I don't answer, he lifts up to look me in the eyes. "Hmm?"

"We'll see."

He falls back into me, laughing. "A tease. We will see."

Chapter 14

Connor

IfI'dbeentolda few months ago that I'd find someone I'd be smitten with like I am with Aria, I would have said shut the fuck up. But here I am. I can't stop thinking about her. She occupies my thoughts every second of the day. When I'm waking up or going to bed. When I'm at the gym training clients or when I'm crossing the road. I could be in the middle of a conversation, but then she comes to mind, and I smile even when the conversation I’m having doesn’t call for a smile.

It's crazy. And it's also making me feel like I'm betraying Cassy.

I don't know what to do. I crave Aria, I want to be with her, which is so unexpected. I spent so many years disliking her. She didn’t like me either, which didn’t bother me one bit, but now I can't get enough of her. She's in Ethan's room right now, getting him ready for school. And all I can think about is wrapping my arms around her.

The door to Ethan’s room opens and I jump off my bed. When I peek out, I don't see anyone in the hallway. I wait a bit and then I see her coming out of her room. I slip out of the door and cloak her in my arms and place kisses on her face.

"Come to bed."

She giggles. "Stop. What if Ethan sees us?"
