“Does it feel like I have to pee?”
“It sometimes can when you’re not used to it.” Nex caressed her thigh. “Trust me, kitten. I said I’d take care of you, didn’t I?”
She did trust him. His eyes darted to where her hand was locked around his wrist, and she let go. Fisting her dress, her eyes slid shut as he continued. He pumped his fingers in and out until it happened again, that clamping, that intense pressure that had Kat’s toes curling and her nails digging into her dress as her whole body tensed.
“Trust me, Katherine,” Nex murmured, pulling her into an embrace as he kissed beneath her ear. “I’ve got you.” He curled his fingers inside and held her close. “Come for me, kitten.”
Kat tensed as the delightful pressure burst. Pleasure crashed in waves, making her throb as it released. She moaned and dropped her head against his shoulder, whimpering while she came. Nex groaned at her repeatedly clenching around his fingers. Breath ragged, she wrapped her arms around him the second his fingers left her, needing to be close after the intense experience.
“See?” He kissed her neck and hugged her. “That’s how it should be, kitten. That’s a taste of what real sex is like, and trust me,” he grabbed her chin so she’d look at him, “sex ismuchbetter.”
Chapter 23
Redo
BlackFriday,Kathadto work a double shift at the bookstore. She got up earlier than usual, careful to be quiet as she got dressed. She looked back at Nex’s sleeping form, her heart swelling and body warming at the memory of his touch.
Last night, after Nex gave Kat her first orgasm, she understood why people liked sex. It wasn’t just that he made her feel incredible physically but also how he kissed and held her afterward. Panic surfaced once she came down from the high, but he kissed her slowly, deeply, dissipating her fears. She wasn’t sure what to expect, but he carried her to bed where they slept close, his arm draped over her waist and her head in his chest. She couldn’t remember the last time she felt so comfortable and close to someone.
She shook her head to focus for the busy day ahead, quietly shutting the bedroom door after stepping out. He liked his sleep. She knew that based on the fact he hated the alarm clock more than anything, but that didn’t stop her not wanting to leave without saying something. She was buttoning her coat when Nex appeared in front of her.
Kat squealed and fell back against the wall. “Didn’t I tell you to stop doing that?”
“Yes, but I ignored your request.” He braced his palms against the wall on either side of her head. “Were you leaving without saying goodbye?”
“I didn’t want to bother you.”
“The only thing that bothers me is that you were going to leave without saying goodbye.” He skimmed his nose alongside hers. “You’re not going to miss me?” He moved to her neck, dragging his nose up and down.
Kat shuddered. “Of course I am.”
“I was hoping to ease more tension before you left.” Open-mouth kisses on her neck melted her into him. “Would you like that, kitten? Would you like me to touch you like I did last night?”
Kat’s eyes closed as he placed a hand on one side of her neck while kissing the other. His other hand dropped to her lower back and pulled her against him. Work was a priority, but she couldn’t resist tilting her head back, giving him better access. Containing a moan wasn’t easy. He knew how to touch, how to kiss, and where to place his lips, making her too warm to wear the coat she had on.
“Yes.” Her eyes fluttered when he sucked on her neck. “But I can’t right now. I have work.”
“Be a rebel,” Nex said, teeth scraping her skin. “Be a few minutes late.”
“I can’t.” Kat bit back a whimper while he nipped a sensitive part of her neck. “Not on Black Friday.”
“Kitten.” His mouth moved over her throat, tongue darting across her skin. “Do you like what I’m doing?”
Kat set her hands on his chest with the intent to push him away, but she couldn’t. “Like you can’t tell.”
“Well, if you like that,” he kissed her, sliding his tongue into her mouth, eliciting a moan, “imagine how much you’ll like it when I use my tongue instead of my fingers.” He slid his hand up her dress to her thigh. “Why don’t you stay home today? Then you won’t have to imagine.”
Kat usually only called in for work when it was an emergency. It never crossed her mind to call in because she had better things to do. Until Nex. He made a compelling argument, but it didn’t change the fact it was Black Friday.
“I can’t.” She was convinced his dark eyes held the answers to the mysteries of the universe. If only she could stay home to uncover them all. “I’d rather be with you, but I can’t leave my boss to the crowds.”
“Fine.” Nex removed his hand from under her skirt. “I take it my plan to show you that good sex isn’t unrealistic worked.”
“You’ve given me something to think about.” Heat radiated off her skin with the same intensity she cursed her work obligations. Unable to think clearly, she scooted away. “I’ve gotta go. I’ll be home later than usual tonight.”
Nex crossed his arms and propped one shoulder against the wall, his gaze never leaving her. “Very well, kitten. I’ll see you tonight.”
Kat backed toward the door, waving on her way out. Outside, she released a long breath and leaned back against the door. Her eyes closed, the ache between her legs worse now she knew how good Nex could make her feel. She allowed a moment to get ahold of her mind, then rushed to work.
