I don’t have the words to reply, which is probably a good thing because I probably would have told him I love him.
I’m not ready for that.
Neither is he.
My thoughts are cut off when I feel him trail back down my body in a slow perusal. His nose breathes me in and he sticks his tongue in my most sensitive spot, opening my folds with ferocity. I immediately shoot my hips up, and his hands press me back down.
Liam takes his time licking, sucking, moving from my entrance to my clit and back again. His hands grasp my hips so hard I’m sure he’s going to leave bruises, but I don’t care. I’d take those bruises any time if it meant this was how I got them. My right hand is clenching his hair tightly when I feel myself on the verge and my left arm shoots out, grabbing the bedding, trying to anchor myself there. “Liam.” A deep moan wrecks me, and I scream when the orgasm shoots through me, so intense.
“You’re…” I gasp. I can’t seem to catch my breath and Liam looks at me, half cocky and the other half genuinely curious. “Amazing. That…that was amazing,” I say on a laugh. His smile turns into a grin and I reach up, not done with him yet. I yank his shirt off over his head, nearly ripping it and getting it caught on his ear. “Sorry,” I mumble, embarrassed but not enough to stop. I go for his jeans, but he stops me.
“I got it…don’t want it to get caught…” He goes for his pants, and I noticed he’s straining against the material, a laugh bubbling in my throat at his insinuation. My laugh quickly fades when he loses his boxers and his cock springs forward.
I swallow and look up at him.
It feels like it’s been so long, so I try my best to appear unaffected by him though he’s definitely the biggest I’ve ever had. I already know how skilled he is, and I know it’s going to be just as amazing as it was then.
“I can’t wait much longer.” His voice is rough, and I nod my head. He grabs a condom out of the pocket of his jeans, and I raise a brow. “I’ve carried one ever since I met you,” he says. I don’t know how to respond to that, so I choose not to comment at all.
Liam leans over me again, moves us up onto the bed more securely, and presses his lips to mine. It’s soft and slow, sweeter than before. He stokes a fire inside of me, bringing my untried senses to life.
When he’s ready, he looks deeply into my eyes, and I soften my expression when I see how he’s looking at me—like I make him feel loved, like he’s just as unsure and yet so passionately ready for everything we could do together. When he pushes into me, he doesn’t break eye contact, and I can see everything he’s feeling, something I’ve never been able to do before. He lets me adjust to him, and I reach up to kiss him. He takes it as encouragement and moves deeper inside until he’s buried completely. I can’t get over the sensation of how it feels. It’s quite possibly the best feeling I’ve ever felt in my life, and I’m more than grateful that I get to experience this with him.
Liam puts his forearms underneath my shoulders and holds me to him, pushing deeper with every thrust, and I let myself fall into this with him. He takes charge, and I follow him every step of the way. His eyes peer into mine, and I see something I’ve never seen before. Love is the only word I can use to describe it.
Wait, no—love, awe, understanding.
This isn’t something he’s experienced either; I can tell, and that makes it that much more powerful.
I feel myself edging to the brink of my second orgasm, and I close my eyes again.
“No,” Liam says, his voice strained. “Open them.” I blink my eyes open and watch his face, mine contorting as my orgasm slams into me. Our eyes stay locked as our breathing syncs, and Liam continues moving until his body tenses above me. I hold him close and let us catch our breaths, my mind going a million miles an hour.
Words I haven’t and can’t let myself speak come to the tip of my tongue. It makes my heart race with a deep urgency but I hold them in, fear keeping me from fully acknowledging the truth.
I truly hope I don’t regret not telling him.
For now, I just hold on to the man who’s changed everything for me.
