“Good girl.” I gave her a long, languid lick, smiling when her entire body shuddered. She was so responsive.
Two fingers slipped inside her, and I curled them, searching for that spot that would electrify her. Her body jerked as I made contact and I kept that pleasure coursing through her body until the way she gasped told me that she was close to coming. She let out a little sob as I withdrew my fingers and waited for her to relax again.
“Please, Mr. Lexington.”
I blew on her slick skin and ignored her plea. I’d only refused her twice. We were barely getting started.
Six, I thought with satisfaction as I pushed myself up from the bed. Ashlee’s eyes were closed, but she wasn’t sleeping. A thin sheen of sweat coated her skin despite the air-conditioning, and her limbs twitched as her body struggled to process yet another build-up and loss. I’d gotten her close to orgasm six times and had stopped her from finishing each time. She’d cursed me more than once, but she’d never spoken her safe word.
She might not understand the importance of the trust she put in me to make all of this worth the end result, but I did, and I vowed that I would never abuse that trust, in here at least. I couldn’t promise that I’d never do something asinine or say something I shouldn’t, but I could at least care for her body, bring her all the pleasure my experience could offer.
I retrieved another condom and rolled it over my throbbing erection. I almost winced as my hand moved over the latex sheath. I didn’t think I’d ever been this hard after something like this. Denying her, punishing her, turned me on, but this tightness in my gut, this was something new.
I was going to go off the moment I was inside her. Of that, I had no doubt. But she would have her pleasure first. And I didn’t think it’d take much to get her there either. Her entire body had to be buzzing.
“I’m going to let you come now,” I said as I climbed back on the bed. “And then I’m going to fuck you.” I knelt between her legs, then paused long enough to admit, “It’s going to be over fast.”
Her eyes opened and locked with mine. “About damn time.”
I laughed but didn’t lose my focus. Two light strokes across her clit with one hand and a pinch to one of her nipples with the other, and she tipped over the edge. Her back arched, mouth opening in a silent scream that gained its voice the moment I buried myself in her with one smooth stroke.
Her pussy pulsed around me, tightening even as I kept moving. Three, four thrusts and then I was coming too, our bodies fused together in that moment, two parts of a single being, and I’d never felt closer to anyone than I did right now.
Four
Ashlee
As much as I’d enjoyed my night and morning with Nate, my body was in dire need of rest. I felt as if every inch of me had been pulled apart and put back together again. Like my muscles were made of rubber. Rubber that ached in yet again another new way. It wasn’t a bad thing, but it wasn’t only my brain that needed time to process everything.
A part of me wished I could’ve processed faster so that I would’ve had a better handle on things before meeting my mom for lunch. She’d approved of me going off with Nate yesterday, but I still wasn’t sure how she’d feel when I told her that we planned to give this thing between us a real shot.
She was already in one of the beach side restaurants when I arrived, waiting at a table near a massive window, clearly enjoying the sunlight and blue sky and water of a beautiful spring day. I allowed myself a moment to appreciate how fortunate I was that Mom was here for another spring. Even though the doctors had caught the cancer early, I’d met far too many people whose loved ones hadn’t been so fortunate. I never wanted to take her for granted.
As if she knew I was thinking about her, she turned her head toward me and smiled. Nothing in the world could make me feel as loved as I did when she smiled like that at me. I’d had a far better childhood than a lot of other kids, but better hadn’t always meant easier. No matter how hard it had gotten, I’d always known Mom had my back.
“Have you been waiting long?” I asked as I slid into the seat across from her.
She shrugged and picked up her coffee. “It’s a beautiful view, and I’m in no rush to do anything specific.”
“I’m sorry for going off with Nate yesterday,” I apologized. “This was supposed to be a vacation for the two of us.”
I stopped talking when she put her hand on mine.
“Do you honestly think I wouldn’t have told you if I didn’t want you to go with him?” She squeezed my hand.
“I know,” I said, “but I still feel bad.”
The waitress came over to take my drink order, interrupting a conversation that most likely would have continued back and forth for another ten minutes with the two of us reassuring and apologizing even though neither of us had done anything wrong. It was our way.
“Actually, I’m a little surprised your…friend didn’t come with you. Considering how far he’d come to talk to you, I assumed he wouldn’t want to let you out of his sight.”
I flushed. Her remark was innocent enough, but it prompted the memory of how possessive Nate had been just a short time ago. His hand in my hair, pulling my head back until I was right at the edge of too much. His declaration that he was the only teacher I needed. Despite all that, I didn’t believe he was the sort of possessive who would take over my life, tell me who I was allowed to speak to or what I could wear. If he did become like that, I’d end things without hesitation.
Still, Mom wasn’t the only one surprised that he hadn’t demanded to stay at my side.
“Nate went back to New York,” I said, accepting my chai tea with a smile. I took a sip and continued, “He asked me to apologize on his behalf for interrupting our vacation.”
I could see questions forming, but she waited until we’d both ordered our lunches before asking any of them. As the waitress walked away, I braced myself for what was coming.
