Max laughed as he batted away her hands. She wasn’t particularly strong but she was quick. At least thirty percent of her strikes were landing.

“Look, miss, if you don’t calm down, I’m going to have to take defensive measures.”

“Defend. This. You. Prick.”

“I mean it.”

Julia slapped him in the ear. “All right, but remember you asked for this.”

He seized both her wrists, pulling them down to her sides. Julia drove her forehead into his and sparks exploded behind Max’s eyes. “Ow, fuck!”

Instinctively he forced Julia back, pinning her body to the floor, parting her legs with his thighs. She jerked her hips trying to throw him off so he pressed down, trapping her under his weight. “Gotcha. Not so tough now, are you?”

Julia’s smile was too wicked to be anything but a dream. “No I’m not, Max.”

Oh no. Oh fuck. He wason top of her, his hips bearing down on hers. Their eyes were level. Their mouths were level. The curve of Julia’s upper lip was inches from his, her breath coming out in shallow pants. He couldn’t kiss her, could he? His heart would give out if he even tried. He waited on the edge of everything for a sign, some confirmation of what to do. His head was pounding, his cock was pounding, and his hands still holding her wrists were shaking.

“Max…”

He knew she was begging and it turned his cock to steel against her. She felt it, pressing against him and whispering. “I want you. I’ve wanted you for ages.”

Then she kissed him soft and slow. Bright spots popped behind Max’s eyes as pleasure twisted like amphetamines in his blood.This is it, he thought.This is fucking it,though what that meant he couldn’t begin to explain.

Julia’s hands stroked through his hair and he pulled away, unsure of what was happening.

“Was that bad?” she asked.

“No. That was the furthest fucking thing from bad.”

He raised a hand to his lips, stroking his tingling mouth. They’d kissed. The girl he liked had kissed him. The sensation was as fresh as it had been at fourteen.This is it. This is fucking it.

Before he knew what was happening, they were kissing again. That graceless, all-consuming way teenagers kissed, like you needed to swallow the other person whole and fuck them through your clothes at the same time. Julia was all hands as she stroked his back and shoulders, reaching between them to caress every muscle she could find. She was greedier than he could have possibly imagined and the idea got him hot enough to do a little exploring of his own, sucking on her tongue as he cupped her breasts, kneading the sweet little mounds until she moaned. They consumed each other, hips moving restlessly and then Julia wrapped her legs around his waist, pressing her jeans against his aching cock. “More.”

Max kissed her neck. “More what, baby?”

“Justmore. I need more of you.”

He held back, needing to hear her say the words. “Tell me what to do and I’ll do it.”

“Touch me,” Julia whispered. “Touch me like you did before.”

Max’s heart thudded so hard he thought it might fall out. It had been years but he knew exactly what she meant. “Are you sure?”

Julia’s voice was little more than a whisper. “I want you.”

He raised himself up on his palms, tense with the need to prove himself. He could be that romance book guy for her. He could be better than that guy.

The stretchy material of her pants gave way easily under his hand. He fingered the line of her panties, memorizing the way the silk felt against her skin.

Julia moaned in frustration. “Max, please, lower.”

He kissed her jaw. “We’ll get there, I promise. Now lie still.”

He worked his fingers lower, past a scrap of hair and into her folds. She was wet as a river, her outer lips as slick as the inner ones. He found her clit in seconds, hard as a tiny stone. The knowledge she wanted him, that he’d gotten her this hot was almost enough to make him blow in his pants like a horny teenager. His fingers moved on instinct, two slipping down to tease her opening, his thumb resting against her throbbing clit. Julia reared up, gripping the collar of his T-shirt. The material tightened around his neck like a tether. “Max,fuck.”

She reached for his cock but he moved away. "Stay still and feel everything I'm doing to you.”

“I want to—”
