Page 53 of Make You Mine

She smelled so good, like vanilla and blueberries, and fucking joy and light and sunshine and everything I always wanted but never had in my life.

Her eyes dropped to my mouth before lowering to half-mast, with her lashes fanning against the top of her high cheekbones.

A whimper fell from her mouth right before her tongue darted out to wet her lower lip. Then she bit it, and I was done for. No more resisting. No morenotkissing her. No more denying what we both wanted.

“Maybe we should practice,” she said, and I then was hers.

My entire body trembled, and I grew hard as a rock. This was happening.

I wrapped my hand around the back of her neck and crashed my mouth against hers.

Chapter16

Piper

His lips touched mine, and all the thoughts flew out of my head.

Caution was boring.

Stopping was stupid.

And most of all, nothing about the heat that existed between us was fake. I had a feeling that things would explode between us sooner rather than later, and now here we were.

This was our third kiss, and it was nothing like the first two. The progression fromwow, he’s attractive,andI must have him inside me immediately,was like going from zero to sixty.

“Tell me now, if you have any doubt about this, Piper and I’ll stop. No questions asked, and no feelings hurt. I swear. And if you need to tell yourself this is practice or pretend, or whatever else you need to do to protect yourself. Do it. I understand.”

“God, Ren. I don’t even know what to say right now.”

“You don’t have to say anything. All I want is you.” The words were hot against my mouth as he spoke.

“I want you too. Right now. I’m saying yes.”

I tugged at the hem of his shirt, grinning when he reached behind his neck and yanked it over his head. His body was insane, nothing but planes, angles, and sharply defined muscle. He was beautiful. I dipped forward to lick the little dent at the base of his throat, where his pulse fluttered.

He moved his hands to my back, tugging at the hem of my tank top, I lifted my arms and let him pull it over my head, falling to my back on the bed as he covered me, and bent low to suck a nipple into his mouth with a sharp pull.

My hands slid into his hair, pulling him close as my legs fell to the sides. I felt him through his pants, huge and hard, as I ground myself up against him and wrapped my legs around his back.

He pulled back, hair wild from my hands, cheeks flushed, pupils blown wide with pleasure. “I’ve never felt like this,” he growled. “You’re magic, I swear.”

“I’ve never felt this way either. Only with you.”

“Good. Are you sure?”

“I’m sure.”

He moved lower, sliding his fingertips in the waistband of my shorts as he placed a kiss right below my belly button. Down they went, along with my undies as he slid off the bed to his knees and pulled me along with him until my ass was at the edge.

Oh god.

“I’m dying to see if you taste as good as I imagined,” he murmured hotly against my skin.

Oh crap.

I closed my legs as best I could, cringing as I bumped the side of his head with my knee. But that little embarrassment was nothing when I knew if he went down on me, it would go on forever, and he’d end up annoyed when he couldn’t get me off.

“No, it’s okay. I have condoms in the bedside table. You don’t have to do this. You can stop.”
