Without a word, he’s back into it, his mouth and tongue working me over, but this time he lets me crest the wave, my body bucking as hot waves of pleasure overtake me.

I pant for a moment while trying to catch my breath.

The wooden scrape of the bedside cabinet drawer opening turns my head.

My cheeks burn when Declan pulls a strip of condoms out. Is this why he’s here? Just to get laid? I guess it makes sense—and it’s what I want from him, after all, but the dose of reality hits me hard.

“There are a few condoms there.”

Declan pulls one off the strip. “I bought them just in case.”

I bite my bottom lip.

“Zoe, if you’re not comfortable and want to stop?—”

“Don’t you dare.” It only takes a moment for me to realise I don’t care. “Fuck me.”

He grins before kissing me again. After tearing open the condom, he rolls it down his cock.

Lowering himself down onto me, he kisses me again while he slides himself inside my pussy.

I pant against his mouth.

He chuckles. “Love the way you feel, babe. Perfect.”

Propping himself up on his arms, he moves, and I meet each thrust with my hips, pushing him in deeper. I want every little piece of him I can get.

“Not so fast. I want to last,” he murmurs. “Keep doing that and I’ll embarrass myself.”

“You could never do that,” I whisper. “And if you did, it just means we’d have to do it all over again.”

Declan laughs as he pulls me with him until I’m straddling his hips.

“Ride me, gorgeous,” he says, his large hands resting on my butt.

I throw my head back and roll my hips. I’ve never been so uninhibited. The bright lights of Las Vegas illuminate the room, and although no one can see us, the open curtains leave me feeling like an exhibitionist.

Declan thrusts up, deep inside me.

“You’re beautiful, Zoe,” he murmurs. “So tight and hot.”

Running one hand up my back, he pulls me down toward him then sucks a nipple into his mouth and makes me gasp.

“You feel so good.” I grind against him, lost in sensation, his thumb strumming my clit as he coaxes another orgasm out of me.

We fall together, his loud groan coming at the same time as his name from my lips.

Perfect.

ZOE

A warm bodywith a hard chest is pressed against my back. I sigh with contentment before my brain catches up and …

What did I do last night?

I wasn’t that drunk.
