There was nothing but his tongue and his hands, holding me open.
I gripped his wrist and his hand turned to lock onto my arm, then he did the same with the other until I was tethered to him. I should have had control at that point, but there was no controlling this man. There was only surviving.
And I wasn’t entirely sure that was possible. His devil of a tongue slid between my folds and up to my clit then back until I was a mess.
God, I didn’t have any resistance to this insidious level of seduction. He played my body like he played his piano late at night when he’d had too many glasses of whiskey.
He let one of my hands go and slowly slipped a finger inside of me.
I purred out his name and my body went tighter and tighter in reaction to his invasion. I was helpless against his mouth and the pressure of the pads of his fingers at my clit.
The first orgasm sucker-punched me. Somehow I didn’t even realize I’d coasted up and through the teasing and into the victory circle. My thighs shook and my scream ended in his name.
“Fuck, you’re so damn tight.” He pushed a second finger inside me and I arched to get away from him. My body was too sensitive as I soared and crashed in the space of thirty seconds.
“That’s it, baby. Give me everything.”
I tried to curl into myself, but he wouldn’t let me go. My knees trembled and the heel of my boot tapped out the little aftershocks as my body tried to process this level of stimuli.
He stood up and buried his face in my neck as he turned his hand and fucked me with his fingers. I cried out as the pleasure twisted into pain. “Seth, wait.”
He paused. “I’m sorry. Was I too rough? You soaked my face, so I thought you were with me.” He made sweet hushing sounds against my ear. “I’m sorry. I got too into it.”
I breathed through the invasion of just two of his thick fingers. How the hell was I going to take his cock?
God, I was so over my head.
“Don’t tense up.” He wrapped his other arm around my waist and fit his cock against my ass. “You’re perfect. We’re so good together, can’t you feel it?”
I nodded, but I couldn’t think around the invasion of his fingers.
He pulled out of me and went to my clit. “Sweet little circles until you’re ready for me. I want inside you so bad I can’t think straight, but I can wait. I’ve waited this long, right?” He laughed against my neck and I wanted to weep in reaction.
My stupid virginity was going to ruin everything.
“Where did you go?”
“Never mind.”
His eyebrows snapped down and he pulled his fingers from between my thighs before turning me toward him. “No, not never mind. No matter how much I want you, if it’s too soon, I’ll survive. I promise.”
I shook my head and wrapped my arms around his neck. “No. I want this more than you could ever know.”
His fingers dug into my hips. “Thank God.”
I stared at his chin and traced the bristles of his scruffy face. My fingertips went farther down to his neck, where his Adam’s apple jumped under my touch.
The vibration of his growl made my skin prickle. Somehow I’d thought I could just walk in and make this work. It wasn’t as if I was a complete novice about sex. I hadn’t actually had it, but I was a woman with needs. Some nights the only way I’d gotten to sleep with the stress and frustration of my life was to take care of myself.
But I’d been deluding myself that it compared to reality in any way.
He lowered his face until our gazes collided. “What?”
“I…”
“You…what?” He laughed. “You can tell me anything. You know that.” His dark brows pinched together. “Has someone hurt you?”
“No! Oh, God, no.” I blew out a breath. I was doing this all wrong. I slid out of his arms and paced the wide living space. “It’s not that. In fact, quite the opposite.”
