Page 108 of Rapunzel Is Losing It

If I had spent even two seconds thinking this through, I would have guessed as much. Thinking about her wants and needs was second nature by now - just not this kind of want and need.

“What are you doing?” She asked breathlessly when I slid my hand up her thigh, fingers brushing up against those tiny panties.

“Date’s not over, zhizn’ moya,” I replied and crossed the threshold into the house.

“Will you set me down already?”

“Nope.”

“Nope? What are you? Five?”

This time, I sank my teeth into her flesh, and Cordelia’s whole body shuddered around me.

I didn’t put her down until we got to her bathroom. Her face was red and her hair a mess, and I never wanted to get my hands on her body more.

“What are we doing?”

“Unless you want to lose your virginity while reeking of fish and pond water,” I unbuttoned my shirt, “I suggest we take a shower first.”

She stilled, eyes flicking between the open door to her bedroom, to the shower, to me, back to the bedroom - again and again.

“I need to call Del.”

“Right now?” I tossed my shirt over the sink and reached for Cordelia’s hands.

“I-” Her eyes started skipping again.

“If you’re not ready, we can wait.”

“I’m ready. I’m so ready. But I’m not prepared. I should do that now. If I get in the shower first, then I can’t call her afterwards, because we’re going to have fun in the shower, right? I want you to do the showerhead thing again, so then it would be really weird to take a break after that and call Del andthenhave sex.”

“Del canprepareyou? Do you need to talk anything through? Is that a girl thing?”

“What?” Cordelia furrowed her brows. “No. I mean that Del probably has condoms. I don’t. I’m not prepared for that specificbodily function. Go figure. So if I call her now, I can get condoms from her room, and then we can take a shower.”

I parted my mouth, but instead of replying, I just opened the medicine cabinet behind the mirror. The box of condoms was exactly where I’d left it.

“What? When?”

“The day you asked me to go down on you on the treadmill. I wasn’t sure how fast you’d get there, but I figured we’d need these.”

“Oh,” a perfectly melodic laugh bubbled from her chest, “you are so getting lucky tonight.”

“If you think this is impressive, just wait until you find the lube in your nightstand.”

“You put lube in my nightstand?” Before she could spin around to run and check, I caught her by the elbow and pulled her back against me. She collided with my chest with a littleoomph.

“You can search for that later,” I promised and slid my jacket off her shoulders. It landed in the sink with my shirt. “Let’s see how wet I can get you first.”

“Are you making puns?”

“If that’s what it takes to get your attention long enough to get you naked.” I unzipped her dress and pulled it off, then made quick work of her panties, too. I’d never get tired of this. Her perfect raindrop tits, or the dip of her waist like a handle made for my hands only, or those fine blonde hairs that made her entire skin glow in the light. Just looking at her felt like a sacrilege, because there was no way her body was meant for my mortal eyes.

“My turn,” she breathed and reached for my belt. She bit her lip as she worked the leather, and I couldn’t take it anymore. I wrapped her hair around my hand and pulled. The only opening I needed was the moment she gasped, and I sank my mouth over hers. This time, Cordelia kissed me back. Lips, tongue and teeth, as desperate as mine.

The rest of my clothes dropped to the floor and I pulled her into the shower.

With the hot water coming down on us, her hands were all over me. I hummed into the kiss, leaning into it. We had been touching -shehad been touching for weeks. Exploring my body, and all the reactions she could draw from it. And she was getting way too good at it. As if I wasn’t ready to go whenever I got a taste of her sweet skin anyway.
