Melody of the Heart (Runaway Train, #4)

“I was just thinking how everything was so romantic except I’m here in a T-shirt and my sweatpants.”


I laughed. “Well, you had to have a get-away outfit. It wasn’t like you could come here naked under a trench coat.”

She cocked her head at me. “Is that what you would have wanted?”

“No, I mean, it would have been cool if you had, but you look great just as you are.”

She gave me a teasing smile. “I have on something underneath this—something I thought you might like.”

My brows shot up so far they probably disappeared into my hairline. “You do?”

“You want to see it?”

Considering my mouth had run dry, I could only nod my head. Lily stepped back from me. Her hand hesitated at the hem of her shirt, so I reached forward to gently pull it over her head. I got an eye-full of her breasts that were pushed up by some lacy, white number. It was like what women back in the day wore. A corset or something.

Lily kicked out of her shoes and shimmied her sweatpants down her legs. When she stepped out of them, my heart shuddered to a stop and then restarted at the sight of her. White lace stockings came up her legs and stopped mid-thigh. Above them a pair of frilly, white panties met the corset. I don’t how long I stood there staring at her.

“I guess you like it, huh?”

“I-It’s amazing.” I swallowed hard. “You’re amazing.”

Her cheeks flushed, and she ducked her head. “I asked my sister, Melanie, to help me with something to wear. You know, for my first time and for your birthday.”

“She won’t tell on you, will she?”

Lily shook her head. “No, our secret is safe.”

I smiled. “Good.”

“Now it’s your turn,” Lily said, as she stepped forward. Her fingers gripped the hem of my Georgia Tech T-shirt and then lifted it over my head. Her hands then smoothed over my chest. I closed my eyes at the feel of her touch. I sucked in a breath as her fingers went to waistband of my sweatpants. She dropped down onto her knees as she tugged them down. I wasn’t wearing any underwear, so my aching hard on sprang free.

Taking me in her hand, Lily stroked me up and down before sliding me into her warm mouth. It was probably only the third or fourth time she’d given me a blow job, but fuck, she was so good at it. She seemed to pick up a new move to drive me wild, each and every time. Just as I got carried away, I gently tried to push her away. But unlike all the other times, she didn’t let me go. Instead, she kept bobbing up and down my length. “Lils, if you keep that up, I’m going to come,” I groaned.

She still didn’t let up at my warning. I gritted my teeth and jerked my hips forward, as I came into her mouth. That was certainly a first since I had pulled out all the other times, but Lily didn’t seem to mind. When I finally finished convulsing, she rose off her knees. “Why did you keep going?” I asked, my mind still hazy from the amazing blowjob.

She gave me a shy smile. “Melanie said it would be better if you…well, you know, if you came once before we started to do it. Like it would help you last longer when we were together.”

Crossing my arms over my chest, I asked, “You told you sister I was a virgin, didn’t you?”

“Maybe.” When I huffed in exasperation, she reached out to cup my cheek. “I’m sorry if I embarrassed you. Her first time was with a guy who was a virgin, too. Well, that guy is her husband now, but that’s another story. She just thought the tip would help.”

Deep down, I knew it was stupid to care if Melanie knew I was a virgin. I already owed her one for getting Lily the sexy-as-hell lingerie, and I’d probably owe her more in the morning. “I’m sorry for being stupid about it.”

“It’s okay. You were just being a guy.”

I laughed. “An over-sensitive guy about my virginity, right?”

She smiled. “Maybe.”

Pulling her to me, I kissed her lips. “Now it’s your turn. I think you need to come before we get started to.”

“Okay,” she replied.

Easing us down on the mattress, I stared into Lily’s blue eyes. “You are so beautiful.”

“Thank you,” she whispered.

I pushed her onto her back. Then I bent my head to kiss around the frilly lace where her stocking ended on her thigh. I eased one down her leg and off her foot, and then I went to the other one. Lily kept her eyes on me the entire time.
