His heart spasmed before taking off. Pressing his body against her, he flicked off the shower and mumbled against her lips. "We need a little something from my bedside table."
Her grin turned into a giggle as Zach stepped out of the shower, nearly slipping on the floor. She grabbed his arm and pulled him against her, their lips locking together as they stumbled across the bathroom floor.
They left a crooked line of wet footprints in their wake as they kissed their way to Zach's room and both made love for the first time.
Chapter 26
LUCY
I squeezed my eyes tight then slowly let them crack open. My brain did a little spasm as I took in the line of light stretching across the floor. It was morning...and I hadn't been woken by a nightmare.
Shifting my head on the human pillow beneath me, a luxurious smile stretched over my lips. I ran my hand across Zach's bare chest and took a quick peek under the sheet. Yep, still naked.
Every nerve in my body sizzled as the very idea of him touching me again sent spikes of desire shooting through my core. I shifted my knee over his legs so I could press my body against him.
My first time had been different to what I expected. I'd heard girls talk at school, I had an idea of how it all went, but I never imagined it would be so intimate and mind blowing. Zach had taken it slow, touching every inch of my skin. His lips and fingers had worked some kind of magic until my back had arched and my legs were a shaking mess. Then with a slow, lazy smile he'd become a part of me. Once again, he'd taken it slow, knowing it could hurt me. He obviously knew what he was doing. The fact he had condoms in his bedside drawers made me wonder how experienced he was, but then it suddenly didn't matter.
He'd filled me, he'd kissed me, watched me with an awestruck gleam in his eye. He kept checking to see if I was okay and then he told me he loved me. Hearing him whisper those words in my ear while he moved inside of me nearly made my heart explode.
After we'd finished and we could actually move our limbs again, he'd dragged me back to the shower and I couldn't help spending that time pleasuring him, which then led to him touching me and sending my senses hurtling to Mars all over again. I could have gone like that all night, but when he finally tucked me under his shoulder, I felt so secure I didn't want to move. Sleep had captured me in spite of my efforts to fight it, and now it was morning.
I grinned, my tongue skimming lightly over his nipple.
His moan was soft and pleasant, his body reacted to my touch before he'd even properly woken. I skimmed my fingers down his torso and a low chuckle reverberated through him.
His eyes slowly opened, his soft gaze filling me with that familiar security I basked in.
"Morning." I kissed his sleepy lips, enjoying the feel of his hand gliding up my body.
"Are you okay?" he murmured against my lips. Pulling back, his eyes studied me carefully. "Not too sore or anything?"
I touched his bottom lip with my finger and smiled. "Not too sore. Thank you for asking though."
"Last night was..." His face lit with a smile that melted me and I rolled on top of him, lavishing the feel of his naked flesh on mine.
"Last night deserves a repeat," I whispered, trailing my tongue over his Adam's Apple and sliding my body against him. His delicious groan made me giggle, but the sound was stolen as he rolled me onto my back and tucked himself between my legs. Conversation was lost to kisses. It was the best morning I had ever known.
*****
The sheets were a tangled mess around us. I wasn't even sure how we were supposed to get out of them, but I didn't care. Zach's lips were nestled against my neck, his warm body was the perfect blanket. That time had been even better than the night before and I couldn't help wondering if each time we did this it would be even more exquisite. I closed my eyes and softly sighed, wondering if we could spend the day finding out when a sharp knock sounded at the door, followed by the ringing doorbell.
I jerked beneath Zach as his head popped up. He scrambled for his watch and squinted at the time.
"Zach! You home, man?" Elliot's voice wafted in from outside.
Zach dropped his head with a whiny moan before blowing a raspberry into my neck. I squealed and started laughing as he did it again before slowly pushing himself off me.
"Time to face reality."
I reached for his face, running my fingers into his hair and pulling him back towards me for one final kiss.
The doorbell rang again, forcing our lips apart. Zach sat back, getting caught in the sheets and sliding off the bed. We tumbled to the floor in a laughing mess, trying to untangle ourselves. Finally Zach was free. I couldn't take my eyes off him as he quickly dove into some shorts and threw a T-shirt on.
"I hate to say this, because it's the last thing I want to see, but..." Zach winced. "You need to put some clothes on."
