To meet me.
Reed is here with me. He’s not lying back, going through the motions to please me. He’s meeting me thrust for thrust, groan for groan, shudder for shudder, as our bodies climb together, chasing their release.
“Three times,” he pants. “Start coming, Harls, or I’m going to have to stop for a minute.”
He rubs his thumb over my clit and I go off like a rocket, a mix of teetering on the edge from the feel of him stretching me out, and the knowledge that he’s struggling to hold back himself. He likes what we’re doing. Despite avoiding it for so long. Here with me, right now, he likes it. He likes it so much that his cock is swelling inside me and his balls are pulling up toward his body.
“Harls,” he growls in warning as he pinches one of my nipples with one hand, the other still rubbing my clit.
I come again, intense waves rippling through me and squeezing him tight.
“Fuck.” I tip my head back and shudder.
Reed sits up and takes my nipple into his mouth, and I bring my eyes back to his, threading my fingers through the hair at the back of his head as he grasps me around both hips and drags me up and down over his cock.
“That’s two, Angel. The next one we do together. You ready?”
I nod with a garbled cry as he lies back down and tips his chin up to me. “I’m holding it back, Angel. You’re so fucking sexy. I want to watch you come on my cock as I fill you up.”
“Yes,” I moan as I grind down, and he rubs my clit again. He’s caught me before I’ve fully come down, so a few expertly executed strokes is all it takes before the pressure starts building inside me again.
“Harley.”
I look down into his eyes as he moans my name. There’s no wariness in them, no unease. Just pure, unbridled passion and sexual energy.
“You’re killing me,” Reed growls, his fingers flexing against my hips, his cock slick and hard as the sound of my wetness coating him ricochets around the room like a wonderful, dirty symphony.
“Reed… I’m going to… I’m going to come,” I cry as the first wave slams through my body.
“Fuck, Harls. Fuck, fuck, fuck.”
I squeeze around him, clenching and releasing as each wave steals my breath and has me crying out his name. His eyes hold mine. His body tenses.
Then I feel it.
Hot liquid heat filling me. Filling me and filling me until it runs down my thighs as he thrusts up inside me.
I choke back a sob, overwhelmed as my body tingles all over and goosebumps cover my skin. My vision blurs and my ears ring.
Then strong arms pull me down into something solid and warm.
“Harley, you’re incredible.” Reed scrunches his face up against mine as his cock twitches inside me. He cradles me against his chest, easing his eyes open as the last pulse of his orgasm fades.
He looks into my eyes, our wet cheeks pressing together as he grabs my face and pulls me in close to kiss me. I taste the salt on my lips and know it’s from both of us. His eyes shine as the corners pinch from emotion. The sight of him here, baring his soul to me, knocks the air from my lungs.
Each hot droplet is another move forward.
Another step into the future.
We’re washing away the past.
Together.
Chapter twenty
Harley
“Iwastwenty-one,”Reedsays as I rest my head on his chest and listen to his heart beat a comforting pace in his chest. The sound soothes me, and I snuggle into him. Our hands entwine, and I press little kisses to each of his knuckles one by one, before starting over again.Repeat, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss, repeat. Doing something helps. I can’t change what he’s telling me. But I can press myself into him and kiss him tenderly, showing him that I’m here for him. That I’m not going anywhere.
