“Stop saying sorry.”
“Okay.”
“I want more.”
The last statement took her aback. Then there was no more time for reaction as his mouth came back to take hers—this time, with no reservations as it took with purpose and cajoled hers open in record time. Then a tongue plunged in as his hands glissaded up, touching her spine like a brand.
“Edmund,” she gasped when he latched onto her tongue and sucked on it.
“More than this teasing you are doing,” he growled. “More. I can’t take not touching you.”
The hands lowered to her waist. Then they pushed her down, a deliberate movement that ground her core directly to his bulge and kept going until electricity shot everywhere. She cried out at the pleasure it invoked, then sank into the next kisses he gave her. Her breath hitched when his hands cruised again, then stopped when he palmed her breasts. What started as gentle motions became a frenzied attempt to remove her shirt and bare her before him until his thumb could rub a bare, aching nipple.
“Edmund…”
“You say my name like that and it drives me crazy,” he muttered, bruising her with another hard kiss. “You drove me crazy even before I remembered, Alexa…”
“I did?”
“Hell, yes, and these…I wanted them in my mouth. I dreamed of it.”
The kiss broke and his hands disappeared. Her protest was stuck in her throat when he hitched her up and closed his lips over one tip, latching on so naturally that it stupefied. Electricity jolted once more, then intensified when he licked. But it took a turn when he sucked, alternating between the two, then snatching a kiss or two. Her butt moved on its accord, wriggling while he lifted his, encouraged by his harsh exhales. Still, it wasn’t enough as her body craved more and restlessness began to take form.
“I want to touch you, too. I want to taste you.”
“Me, first.”
“No,” she bit out sharply, lifting her body enough to unzip him. Then she was nudging him out and wrapping him in her hand, at the same time meeting his gaze. “I dreamed of it, too. Of you. When I took you to my place.”
Blue irises smoldered. A sound formed when she stroked him, as delicious as his cock was huge, egging her on to lick his lips and tease him as she had earlier. He fell back on the couch in surrender, eyes closing when her strokes grew in pace, then slowed down. She alternated between looking at his face and shaft, but the former won as she watched it expand even more.
Her attention was yanked back abruptly when he played with her tits, then traced a forefinger over her panties. Then she was flipped on her back with no warning, where she released him in fear of rubbing him too hard. Alexa licked her lips, an action he noted as he lowered himself on top of her.
“Too much,” was all he said. “Your turn.”
Her shorts were drawn down as he kissed her neck and rubbed his chest against her nipples. Her body was on fire when his fingers did their thing, skimming in and out, hooking until he found her wet. He touched her intimately and swallowed her moans, then took the heat with him when his body left. She opened her eyes to protest and found his head coasting downwards as he urged her legs apart.
“Edmund.”
“Just like that, my love. Don’t be afraid to make a sound here.”
Then his mouth was there, and all fantasies ceased altogether as she was thrown into the center of one. Edmund lapped her up, then licked with the ease of someone who knew what he was doing. The man who showed nothing but friendship transformed into a man who shook with hunger, devouring her inch by inch. She grabbed his hair to anchor herself when he inserted a finger once more, mingling with his wicked tongue. Then she grabbed the couch and tried not to tear it apart as his lips locked on to her clit and her claws came out, desperation sizzling when he sucked lazily. Her body shot up as something exploded inside her, so hard and intense that it blinded her.
She drowned in the pleasure and came down from it after a long time, finding him stretched beside her. His cheeks were still pink, this time from a pleasant emotion. She tried to reciprocate, but her jellied bones refused to cooperate.
“That was…”
He kissed her in response, drawing her into another tango that consumed her. But her hand knew its path, returning to his shaft to touch it, then stroking as she did earlier until his hips pistoled in rhythm to her ministrations. This time, it was she who gulped down every groan that came from him, particularly the last one that burst out with so much passion. Edmund started to protest. Then words switched to incoherence when he kissed her instead, the curse released down her tongue as his body snapped. One more stroke was all it took to make him shake, a power that had Alexa basking in her rebuilding arousal. She tugged until he was empty, then curled her body to his, feeling like she had experienced that with him, too.
Warmth seeped from their silence, an inferno that made her want to either retreat or put it out. He made the decision for her when he heaved her towards him until they meshed tight in the small space.
“We could move to the bed,” she suggested. “This isn’t fit for…”
“It’s fit for sleep,” he corrected, then flicked his gaze downwards. There was contentment from his orgasm, then more when he cleaned up his seed. Hunger slithered its way in when the cloth touched her slit and rubbed to clean her, too, and all she could do was stay still as her skin tightened. At the last pat, her hand flew up to squeeze his arm while he focused on her tiny lip bites. She didn’t dare make a sound, confused with how much more intimate this was and how fragile it felt. “You are still so wet.”
Just like that, urging him to bed became the last thing on her mind as his fingers slipped in once more and fluttered until he found the rhythm that affected her best. The lazy flicks, soft taps, and playful, pressing knuckles worked together to send her into a haze until Alexa could do nothing but feel it in her very soul. Her second climax hit her with a softer bang, but that didn’t lessen its intensity by a single inch.
Bones liquefied and soul singing, she gave in to weariness when he was still there, kissing her forehead.
