‘These have driven me mad, your hips. The way you move them. When you squeeze past me at the house. When you get up to get a drink at the bar.’ He nipped and then kissed the other. ‘I just wanted to grab them. Then I could, but only in private. Now, I’m going to touch you whenever I want.’
‘That will scandalise – oh.’
He reached for my underwear, a plain black thong, but hedidn’t pull it down like I’d expected. He planted a delicate kiss on me, making me fist his bedcovers.
I lifted my hips. ‘Stop teasing.’
‘It’s only payback, love.’ He planted another kiss. ‘Payback for driving me mad. For making us wait for this.’
The third kiss he gave me had me moaning, and he took mercy on me, pulling the strip of material off me.
‘You. Are perfect,’ he said before he lowered his mouth onto me, and everything went taut. With each swirl of his tongue, soft and then harder, I wound tighter and higher. At some point, my hands ended up in his dark hair, pulling at each decadent lick.
‘Yes. There.’ I moaned as he hit the right spot. He focused there and sped up slightly. Just enough to have my hips rising off the bed. I babbled something about being close and glanced down. Liam’s head was down, not looking up at me, focused on me and me alone – a slight smile on his smug face.
One more second of his tongue sent me over the edge, and I moaned his name as I came hard. Liam lessened his pressure and stroked my thighs as I came back down to earth, panting. I was a mess – the good type. All languid and undone.
I could barely put a sentence together, but I gestured for Liam.
‘Come here,’ I said. ‘I need you.’
‘We don’t have to do anything else, Kat. I just wanted to do that.’
‘Stop being so fucking perfect and come here.’
Liam didn’t need to be told twice. With a cocky smile I wanted to wipe off his face, he lowered himself over me. He was still dressed.
‘Off,’ I demanded, trying to undo his belt but failing.
‘So pushy,’ he said, kissing me and then pulling back to undo his belt. He had his jeans off and then hovered over me in his underwear.
I reached inside and felt him. He was hard, with precum already wetting his cock. I gave him two tugs, making him moan from above me. With two hands, he grabbed mine and put them above my head.
I pouted. ‘What? I can’t play, but you can?’
‘Playing could finish this.’ He kissed me hard again. ‘Not letting that happen.’
‘Fine.’
He kissed me some more, but I was getting impatient. I wanted Liam. I wanted him so fucking much. I wanted him, even when I shouldn’t. Even when I’d suppressed it for so so fucking long in a misguided attempt to protect myself. Liam must have sensed my impatience because he pulled down his boxers.
‘We can stop at any time. Just tell me,’ he murmured in my ears, kissing below them.
His gentle offer, even as he stripped down, was enough to make me melt. It was rare for any man I’d been with to even care enough to make the boundaries of consent as clear as Liam had. I battled the emotions swirling in my chest but focused on the physical. While I was impatient and demanding, Liam seemed focused on savouring this. He kept kissing my cheeks, my lips, and my neck, oblivious to the fire raging inside me.
I’d already come, but Liam hadn’t yet.
How was he so calm?
‘Condoms?’ I panted.
Liam leaned across me to his sidetable, half of his weight landing on me, forcing a strange noise out of me, making me laugh and setting Liam off apologising. Liam rolled on the condom and hovered over me, careful not to put his full weight on me this time.
‘Are you sure?’ Liam asked, his eyes earnest. Was I sure? My body was screaming yes. There was a bit of my brain, underneath all the lust and urgency, that said we wouldn’t be able to comeback from this. It said that this wasn’t casual. It warned that I would end up being destroyed by Liam, not just physically. But I wasn’t going to let that hold me back. I needed this. I needed him. We both needed each other. I could see it in Liam’s face as he looked at me now with gentle affection.
‘Yes.’ I pulled him by the back of his neck to kiss me.
Liam pushed into me, and we both moaned at the delicious sensation. As he pushed in further, I winced a little.
