I brushed my fingertips over his full parted lips. “You’re loving me right now.”
A wordless moment passed between us. I grazed my touch down his chest, floating over the hard ridges of his abdomen, until I reached his cock. I positioned him against my slit and moved my hips to urge him to me.
Taking my lead, he began moving into me slowly. His heated gaze held mine. I stretched around his thick penetration. He tunneled deeper and claimed more of me as I savored the sensual glide of our bodies becoming one. With every inch gained, he retreated fully before sliding into me again. The maddening rhythm ensured I was ready for everything he gave me.
With one hand, he held his weight above me. He slid the other under my lower back, protecting me from the hard floor. I lifted my hips into his careful thrusts, desperate for the pinnacle moment when we joined completely.
“This is more than sex, Liv. Tell me you know that.”
I gripped his shoulder tightly. “I know.”
The sex was unmatched, but he was right. We’d crossed over into something that meant so much more. Because it did, I was quickly losing my mind to the intensity of the moment.
“You feel so good…” I closed my eyes, the buzz of our closeness lighting up under my skin everywhere we touched.
When I opened them, he brushed his lips over mine tenderly, filling my lungs with his smoky scent.
“I could stay inside you for hours, baby.” His muscles bunched and flexed as he buried himself inside me completely with a shaky sigh. “Fucking you… Christ, it’s better than anything I’ve ever experienced. Can’t wait to feel you come apart around me. I want to take you there, over and over again.”
I gasped at the feel of him reaching the deepest part of me.
His rhythm picked up. My walls clamped down around him, adding an intense friction to every invasion. I clawed at his tight skin, wild with the sensations rocketing through me. A frenetic heat skittered over my skin and pulsed heavy at my core. I craved more the way I craved the release that would bring it all to an end.
“Ian!” I trembled beneath him, anchored by his powerful drives.
Banding an arm around my hips, he fucked me harder and at an angle that sent me into orbit. Colors flashed behind my eyes. Seizing around his cock, I screamed the air from my lungs and clung to him through the powerful release.
He slowed his undulations as I came down, but he was still thick and hard inside me.
“Did you come?” I asked breathlessly.
His lips curved up into a wicked smile. “Not yet, baby. I want to see if I can make you scream my name a few more times. Can you take it?”
He flexed inside me, putting pressure on the place inside that threatened to make me come on the spot. I bit my lip, aching for the stroke of his cock against that spot, again and again.
I nodded with a breathy sigh. “Yeah. Definitely.”
The lights buzzed and flickered above us. I rolled to my side, molding myself against Ian’s warm body. His eyes were closed, and one muscled arm rested over his forehead.
I was still reeling—from the multiple orgasms, and even more from the way I was falling hard for him. My heart hurt when I thought that maybe the affection I felt for him could be totally one-sided. Then I thought about his words…that he wanted to love me. He was too smart, too seasoned with women and protecting his heart to say something like that without meaning it.
I was falling for Ian too, but how could I love him with half my heart?
Will knew I was meeting Ian tonight, but that didn’t allay the sliver of guilt that took root. Still, Will had pushed for this. We’d all walked into it with our eyes open.
Didn’t change the fact that every time we were together felt like a free fall into feelings I wasn’t completely ready for.
I drew circles on Ian’s chest, marveling at how far we’d come in such a short time.
He moved his arm and looked over to me. “What are you thinking about, baby?”
I exhaled deeply and followed my thoughts to the last time we’d been together. The night had ended in Will’s bed, only because Ian had left. I hadn’t mentioned it, but his absence had bothered me more than I wanted to admit.
I released the frown I was holding and sighed. The rules were changing at every turn, and Ian’s absence right now, after what we’d just shared, would gut me.
“The last time we were together…you left. I wasn’t sure what to think about that.”
“I figured Will wanted his time with you. That’s all. My schedule is a mess with work. Most nights I don’t sleep really well, so I usually go out. I go for a walk or grab a drink before I turn in.”
I was silent a moment. His reasons were sound, but that didn’t change that I wanted to be close to him.
“Did it bother you?”
I shrugged. “I guess I felt a little vulnerable after what we did. I didn’t know what to expect. Now I do.”
