Hallie squeezed her inner thighs against my hips, eyes wide. “Here?”
“I can’t wait,” I confessed, sliding my hand around her to cup her nape, to pull her up into my demanding kiss. She grasped on to me, her fingertips biting into my upper arms as I kissed her hard, deep. Needing to touch her everywhere, I caressed her body, frustrated even by the tiny scraps of her bikini that kept me from her bare skin.
Her moan vibrated in my mouth, making me feel more desperate.
Fuck, would this feeling ever go away?
How could I want her more and more as time went on? Cupping her breasts in my hands, massaging them through the thin damp fabric of her bikini, I rocked into her body, impatient to be inside her.
I reluctantly pulled away, panting against her now swollen lips as I pulled a condom out of my swim shorts before shucking them off to roll it on. The whole time I watched Hallie’s expression, the way her lust-filled gaze turned incredulous. “You had a condom in your swim shorts?”
I grinned unrepentantly. “I slipped it in when I saw you walk out of the bathroom in that bikini.”
Hallie giggled, the joyous sound hitting me in the chest like a deep ache. God, I was addicted to this woman. I reached for her mouth, wanting to capture the sound, as I curled my fingers around her bikini bottoms. Hallie arched her hips up, helping me to remove them, and they dropped to the floor by my shorts.
Then I checked her readiness, fingers searching gently. “Mi cielo,” I murmured thickly against her mouth before kissing her, licking at her tongue, desperate to deepen the kiss until she was overwhelmed with need.
Hallie drew me deeper between her legs, her fingers almost bruising on my back. She arched against me again, rubbing against me, beckoning me inside.
I gripped her by the thighs and pushed in.
“Mi cielo, mi cielo,” I murmured mindlessly as her heat surrounded me.
Hallie gasped, her inner thighs drawing up tight against my hips. I watched her, memorizing every feature, every expression, every shade of blue in her eyes as I thrust into her.
Her lips parted on a cry as I slipped my hand between our bodies and thumbed the bundle of nerves at her apex. Her head fell back, and I increased pressure as I circled her, glorying in the bite of her fingernails on my back, on the restless shifting of her hips as she reached for release.
“Fuck, you’re so beautiful,” I panted.
Hallie stiffened with a cry, and then she was throbbing in pulsing waves around me.
Anchoring her hips in my hands again, I lost myself in her. Hard, deep drives made Hallie cry out, prolonging her pleasure.
My climax hit with such force, my vision blurred as she took everything I had to give.
Everything.
Emotion made my heart race as I helped her off the table, as I wiped it down out of respect for my aunt, and then led Hallie upstairs to clean up in the shower. I gestured for her to go in first and followed her in.
Hallie turned under the spray as she smoothed her hair back off her face. She smiled softly at me, knowingly, her blue eyes filled with an expression that I was absolutely certain matched the feeling I could no longer deny.
I pulled her into me, sliding my hands around her small waist, needing to touch her. My mouth was suddenly dry, my pulse throbbed in my neck.
“I love you.” My words were hoarse, gruff with the depth of the emotion. “I am so in love with you.”
Tears brightened Hallie’s eyes as she sank into me. “I love you too. So much.”
Though I’d suspected it was mutual, I buried my face in her neck with relief, my arms tightening around her as we embraced. Water spilled over our heads and bodies, but we didn’t move.
We just held each other, breathed each other in, as we tried to process the utter magnitude of our feelings.
THIRTY-FIVE
Chris
I have to go to work,” Hallie moaned as I trailed kisses down her throat the next morning. “You are insatiable.”
“I’m in love,” I muttered, smiling against her skin.
“Aw, how am I supposed to get out of bed now?” she complained, rolling me onto my back. “You can’t say that when I need to leave. It makes me want to stay.”
I chuckled, trying to pull her over me, but she tensed, so I stopped.
“I mean it.” Hallie pressed a quick kiss to my lips. “I can’t be late.”
Reluctantly I released her. Since we’d said we loved each other yesterday, I had been unable to stop touching her. It was a compulsion. But I vowed to reel it in. “I need to get back to my apartment and write too.”
“Good. Now stay in bed. Do not come into that bathroom while I’m getting ready because you will easily convince me to indulge in shenanigans.”
