"Jas, I'm gonna—oh God, I'm?—"

I sealed my lips around her clit and sucked hard. She shattered with a sharp cry, her body seizing up as she fluttered and clenched around my fingers. I worked her through it, licking and stroking until she was boneless and spent.

Slowly, I kissed my way back up her body, savoring the salt of her skin. She blinked up at me with glazed, sated eyes, and her kiss-swollen lips curled into a lazy smirk.

"Mmm, you're very good at that," she purred, dragging a finger down my chest. "I think you deserve a reward."

She flipped us over, straddling my hips. The move pressed my rigid cock against her hot, wet center.

"Natalie," I gritted out, fighting the urge to thrust up into her. "Baby, you don't have to?—"

"Shhh." She pressed a finger to my lips, eyes shining with mischief and desire. "I want to. I want to make you feel as good as you just made me feel."

With that, she scooted down my body, tormenting me with hot, open-mouthed kisses. I jerked as her teeth grazed my nipple and a strangled curse fell from my lips.

Natalie just smiled smugly, continuing her sensual descent. She nuzzled her face against my abs, tracing the ridges of muscle with her tongue as her hand cupped me through my underwear.

"Fuck, Nat," I groaned, lifting my hips desperate for more friction. I was painfully hard, straining against my boxer briefs. Natalie traced my length through the fabric with a fingertip, teasing me with feather-light strokes.

"You're so hard for me," she said, hooking her fingers in the waistband. "Let's get these off, shall we?"

She tugged my underwear down in one swift movement. My aching cock slapped against my stomach, flushed and leaking at the tip. Natalie's eyes darkened with lust as she wrapped her slim fingers around my shaft and gave it a slow pump.

"God, I've missed this." She swiped her thumb over the sensitive head. "Missed the taste of you."

And then her hot mouth enveloped my cock. I groaned as she swirled her tongue around the crown before sucking me deep. My eyes rolled back, and I buried my hands in her silky hair as her wet heat engulfed me.

"Jesus..." I gasped, fighting the instinct to thrust into her mouth. "Baby, your mouth... feels so fucking..."

The rest of the words died on my lips. I was in heaven as she bobbed up and down my dick, taking me deeper each time. Tightening my grip on her hair, I gently guided her movements as the pleasure built and built and built.

"Fuck, just like that," I groaned, hips rocking to meet her. She hollowed her cheeks, sucking hard, and a hoarse shout ripped from my throat. "Nat, baby, I'm getting close..."

She released me with a wet pop, grinning up at me as she stroked my slick length. "Not yet. I'm not done with you."

She flicked her tongue around the tip and lapped at the steadily leaking precum. I clenched my jaw, desperate to hold back the orgasm barreling down on me. But when she took me to the hilt and swallowed around my cock, it was too much.

"Gonna come." I grunted out a warning, tugging at her hair. But she just hummed in encouragement. The vibrations sent me right on over the edge.

I exploded. My vision whited out as ecstasy crashed through me in waves. She worked me through it, swallowing every drop as I pulsed in her mouth.

Gradually, I floated back down from the high, my body going limp against the grass. Natalie crawled up my body, asatisfied smile on her lips. I hauled her down for a deep, languid kiss, moaning at the taste of myself on her tongue.

We kissed for long minutes, slow and thorough, hands roaming over sweat-slicked skin. The urgency from before had mellowed into something tender and intimate. I rolled us to our sides, tangling our legs together and pulling her flush against me.

As Natalie sighed and melted into my embrace, I felt something slot back into place in my soul. A piece of myself I didn't even realize was missing until she walked back into my life and turned it upside down.

Natalie. My first love, my deepest heartbreak. The girl who shattered me and the only one who could put me back together.

She was here in my arms, warm and real and so damn perfect.

Chapter Twenty-One

NATALIE

Numbers blurredinto an indecipherable mess as I stared at the screen. I had been poring over the orchard's financial records for hours, trying to make sense of what I was seeing. It just didn't add up.

To make matters worse, my mind kept drifting. It was still curled up with Jasper in the orchard under the stars. The taste of his lips, the way he looked at me like I was the only thing in the world that mattered.
