Smoothing her hair back from her forehead, I look Carley straight in the eyes. She’s so vulnerable right now it makes me want to break. “That’s so fucked up I don’t even know what to say to that. You were right to dump his ass.”
“You’re the first person to say that.”
“What?”
She closes her eyes against my shock. I’ve hit a nerve with that. Fuck. But how in the hell would anyone in their right mind think it was a good thing to stay in a relationship that wasn’t loyal?
Instead, I lean my forehead against hers. “What were your ambitions?”
“Hmm?”
“You said that it didn’t matter what you wanted or that you had ambition. What did you want to do?”
“I—” Carley shakes her head. “I don’t think I know anymore. I have a job at a florist, and I like it there. And they obviously like me enough to give me this amount of time off during Christmas. I don’t know…I’ve always been around flowers. They’re like home for me. Still, there’s only so many ways to stick a rose in a vase.”
I move, shifting us so that we’re reversed, and Carley is lying across my chest. Where she can feel me breathe. With my hands on her back, she sighs deeply, melting into me. “But then again, I kind of like sticking roses in vases.”
“If you could do anything,” I said softly. “what would you do?”
She takes another deep breath and releases it, thinking. Then I feel her smile against my skin. “This.”
Reaching down, she grabs my half-stiff cock and she moves down my body before I can stop her. Her mouth is on me, hot, wet, and holy fuck—
I’m blind. I can’t breathe suddenly, my dick going fully hard instantly. When I was younger and still yearning after her, I imagined this. I wondered what it would be like to watch her sink down onto my cock like it was the only thing that she needed to survive.
The reality is so, so much better.
Carley takes me deep into her mouth fast, and the suction makes me feel like I’m in high school again, ready to blow. Holy fuck.
I know that it’s a distraction. She doesn’t want to answer my question, and so she’s trying to distract me. I’m not a strong enough man to resist this temptation. But I’ll be coming back to that question later.
“Fuck.”
She laughs softly, swirling her tongue under the head of my cock. Her pussy is still all over me, and now she’s licking it off. God, the thought makes me groan.
Turning her head, she drags her mouth down the side of my shaft, sucking and licking until she’s all the down. She tastes every inch that she can reach with her tongue.
I watch as she takes me in hand and licks me like a lollipop. She looks me directly in the eye while she does it, and my cock jumps in her hand. She has a big grin on her face.
“You don’t have to do this if you don’t want to,” I manage to grind out.
“No,” she says. “I want to. Unless you don’t think—”
The thought hits me all at once and I stare at her. “Don’t you dare suggest to me that you’re bad at this. It’s taking all my willpower not to grab your hair and fuck your throat just so I can have more of your mouth.”
I watch as Carley’s eyes darken at the suggestion. But I also see her shoulders drop in relief. That bastard made her think that she was bad at this. Fucking hell.
She touches her lips to my skin again, and I close my eyes. The sound that’s pulled from me is completely unconscious. I can’t even think while she’s touching me like that. All I can think about is the way she’s making me feel.
And then her lips touch my balls, and I almost lose my shit. Carley sucks them into her mouth, slowly focusing on one and then the other before bringing her mouth back to my tip and sucking it down. My vision goes white, and I’m going to come, but not like this.
Reaching down, I haul her up my body so we’re face to face. “Your mouth is amazing,” I tell her. “And I want so much more of it. But right now I need to be inside you. Need to come inside you again.”
“Yes,” she breathes.
I flip her onto the bed so she’s beneath me, face down on the blankets. She arches up into me, and I match every piece of me with her. Limb for limb until I’m covering her body. And I take her.
Entering her again, I realize I could get addicted to this feeling. The heat and the pliable tension in her body. The way she grips me as I push in deep. The way she moans as I stretch her.
