because he had to kiss her again.
He settled between her legs and she pressed her hands against his chest. He fed on her mouth until they were both breathless. She flicked her finger back and forth across his nipple and he laughed and groaned at the same time.
Lifting away from her, he undid the rest of his buttons and threw his shirt to the floor. He had a white tank top on and he got rid of it before going back down to her and tasting the slope of her neck.
Her thighs were up around his waist and he automatically grinded against her. He still had his pants on and she was wearing suit pants too. The friction was torment.
He nipped her neck and she yelped.
“No hickeys!” She exclaimed, breathing heavily.
He placed hot, wet kisses from one side of her neck to the other before going up to her ear and sucking her lobe into his mouth. He felt her shudder and her hands ran up into his hair in a tight grip.
He released her ear lobe and went to the other one, gently sucking it for a few moments as she squirmed beneath him. His breathing was ragged and he was beginning to feel desperate. He pulled away so he could stand up and she seemed unwilling to let him go. After a couple of seconds, her arms dropped to her sides and she lay on the couch with closed eyes. Her ample breasts rose and fell with her erratic breathing and he smiled at the sight she made.
He toed off his shoes and began to unbuckle his belt. She opened her eyes and watched him for a few seconds before reaching for the button on her own pants. They were naked in seconds and he hurried back to the couch, eager to touch her.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and they kissed again. He pinched her nipple and rolled it between his fingers, making her cry out.
She opened her legs, wrapping them around his waist. His shaft was nestled against her wet heat and it was his undoing.
He moved back, opening her for him, before thrusting inside with a long sigh. She felt too good to be true and he immediately began to move.
“W-wait!” She gasped through gritted teeth.
“What’s the matter?” He managed to say. It took everything in him to be still.
She opened and closed her mouth several times without making any sound other than heavy breathing.
“Em?” He whispered, his body trembling under the stress of sexual tension.
“A condom!” She breathed and snapped her eyes shut.
With a jolt, he pulled out of her, shocked beyond words. He’d never, not even as a randy kid, had forgotten to use protection. To do it now was so unlike him that he didn’t know what to say. Wordlessly he fished his wallet out of his pants and retrieved the condom.
“I’m sorry, Emerald,” He said, embarrassed at his mistake. “I would never-”
“It’s okay!” She snapped, her legs still wide open. “Hurry up.”
He smiled in spite of the huge error he’d just made and quickly rolled the condom on. He joined her on the couch and she took him in her hands and guided him inside. Digging her nails into his back, she met his thrusts, crying out with each one.
He knew he had a death grip on her hips but he couldn’t help himself. He was already mindless with need. He began to thrust faster and faster until he felt her body quaking around him.
“Lincoln!” Her nails raked him again and he was vaguely aware of some stinging on his shoulder as he reached his own climax.
Out of breath, he gently lowered himself down on top of her. Her breath came in warm bursts against his cheek and he lifted up on his elbow and smiled down at her.
“That was…” She sighed and smiled.
“I know,” He whispered back, touching her face, loving the contrast between her creamy brown skin and his fair skin.
Something remarkable was happening here and he couldn’t help but be pleased about it. Tonight had gone better than he’d even dreamed. Hell, he’d only planned on going to her house so they could talk. But they’d already made love again and with it, a huge step was taken
