“And?”
Eli raised an eyebrow, giving Sarah the most serious look she could muster. “You haven’t figured that out yet?”
“Well, I didn’t want to assume.”
“Assume away, Sarah.”
“Good.” Sarah pulled her in, their lips moving against each other, tongues dancing and enticing.
Eli drew in a sharp breath as Sarah sidled up closer to her. Eli relaxed into the embrace, so glad the final barrier had been broken down. She wasn’t sure how much longer they stayed there, but when Sarah finally relented, Eli knew they had to leave then and there, otherwise they wouldn’t ever get to the house—at least not any time soon.
She turned in her seat and shoved the truck into first gear. It was going to be one of the longest drives back to the house ever, but she was so thankful that Sarah remained sitting right next to her rather than sliding into the passenger seat. A small consolation as they both anticipated what was to come.
Chapter 16
When they got backto the house, Eli didn’t wait. She undid her seat belt and dragged Sarah toward her. With their mouths locked, Eli gave over everything she had been holding inside—all the pent-up tension, the sadness, the hurt, the anger, the blossoming hope, the attraction.
Dipping her hands into Sarah’s hair, Eli held her still. She closed her eyes, her lips moving against Sarah’s, her breathing coming in shorter rasps. She reached the hemline of Sarah’s loose t-shirt and was met with warm skin. Eli groaned as she splayed her fingers against the underside of Sarah’s belly.
Sarah gasped, her lips parting as her eyes popped open, and she stared directly into Eli’s gaze. Sarah’s eyes were so dark, so hard to see where the brown ended and the black of her irises began. Eli curled her fingers, her nails scraping in a teasing manner. Sarah pulled her lip between her teeth, but she still had a vague smile on her lips. It encouraged Eli to continue.
Gliding her hand around Sarah’s side, Eli slid her hand, feeling the dip at her waist as her body curved naturally. Sarah’s mouth moved to Eli’s jaw, and Eli dug her nails in. She wanted everything. She wanted to see and touch every part of Sarah’s body if she’d allow. Her hand moved up higher, finding the edge of Sarah’s bra strap against her skin and sliding two fingers under it, moving back and forth in a gentle pattern.
Sarah nipped at the tender skin of her neck, and Eli grunted in response before asking, “Are we doing this here?”
“I’m not sure we’ll make it inside.”
Eli grinned. “I’m not sure I’ve had car sex since high school.”
“Rebel,” Sarah muttered, her lips against Eli’s skin again. “Quickie.”
“What?”
“Let’s make it quick, get a little out of our systems, then to the house.”
“Yes.” The last consonant dragged out as Sarah’s tongue swirled against Eli’s pulse point. “Tell me...tell me what you want.”
“Straddle me,” Sarah whispered, her hands already at Eli’s belt as she pulled the leather through the buckle. “I’m going to do everything I can imagine doing to you today. You’re not going to know what hit you.”
Eli whimpered. She shuffled around the cab, suddenly thankful she had splurged for the bigger truck. She finally got up on her knees, Sarah between her legs, already with the button of her jeans undone.
Sarah’s chest rose and fell rapidly as her fingers fumbled with the zipper. Eli gripped Sarah’s cheeks between both her palms and lifted Sarah’s face so they were looking at each other. “I want this.”
Sarah nodded.
“Really, really, Sarah. I want this. Do you?”
“Yes.”
“Good. Take a breath.”
Sarah drew air into her lungs then slowly let it out.
“I want you to touch me.”
A groan passed Sarah’s lips as she stilled completely.
“I want to feel you inside me. I want you to make me come over and over again. I want you to taste me, to bring me so high I won’t know what’s happening. I want to be exhausted and sore when I wake up.”
