“That was fucking amazing.” I point a finger at her as she goes to push herself up. “Don’t you dare move.”
Taking a shot in the dark, I head toward her bathroom with the lights still off. I dispose of the condom and find a couple washcloths to clean both of us up with. Making sure the washcloth is warm, I walk back into the bedroom to her laying exactly where I left her and clean her up. Only then does she move to sit up, smiling at me as she places a gentle kiss on my cheek.
“Do you have to go?” Lilly whispers, and I’m shaking my head before she finishes talking.
“That is completely up to you.” I respond calmly before she sucks her bottom lip between her teeth as she watches me.
“You can stay if you want.” I smile and go to lay on the bed with the intention of pulling her with me, but she evades my grasp.
“Hold on, I need to go…” She gestures for the bathroom, and I nod, turning toward the bed and pulling the blankets back for us. When she comes back, I don’t let her hesitate and snatch herinto bed with me. Tucking her into my side, where she stays all night long.
There’s always this one moment in movies after the love interests get together for the first time, where they play some cute music as the camera pans, to show one of them adoringly watching the other sleep. That scene always has me rolling my eyes and scoffing at the ridiculousness. Movies makeit seem like morning breath, full bladders, and those crusties that form in everyone’s eyes don’t exist.
The idea that anyone would look at someone right after waking up and watch them instead of getting up baffles me. Yet here I am, doing exactly that for the past thirty minutes. Somehow, I cannot bring myself to move. Right here, next to Lilly, I’m finally understanding that stupid movie moment more than I ever thought possible.
I’m a total sucker for cuddling after sex. It’s just that once we wake up, I usually roll out of bed to take care of my morning routine and move on with my day.
Until this morning.
Lilly is beautiful. When I woke up still curled up with her, it shocked the hell out of me. Without even thinking it through, I had decided to stay where I was and simply pulled her closer. It shocked me even more when she turned toward me in her sleep, nuzzling her head into my chest, before letting out the most adorable little snore, and settled back down.
Now I’ve been laying here, being a total creep while watching her sleep. She’s beautiful, peaceful, and content. Lilly looks perfect sleeping in my arms.
Dude, chill the fuck out.
A small chuckle escapes as I think about how Sarah used to tease me all the time growing up. She claimed that the reason I could never date casually is because I would get attached if given the smallest bit of affection. She was right, of course. Our parents raised us to own our emotions, so when I was a teenager and in college, it wasn’t abnormal to be called overly emotional. However, as an adult on a professional hockey team, it was now more normal for my team to come to me asking for advice when dating or picking up girls. It used to make me proud that I was someone they could confide in.
Until Josh ruined it.
“You had better not be laughing at my insane bed head. That would be rude and result in you getting pushed out of this bed.”
Lilly’s sleepy voice is muffled against my chest, and while she startled the shit out of me, she puts an instant halt to the spiral I was about to go down. Bringing my hand up from around her waist, I run it over her crazy curls and laugh while leaning down to kiss her forehead.
“Definitely not laughing at you, Sunshine.” Running my hand from her hair down along her back until it’s settled on her hip.
She laughs, the sound and warmth of it spreading over my chest before she’s stretching her body out and causing her breasts to push against me. My body wastes no time reacting to the movement as the memory of her pressed beneath me last night flashes through my mind. I tighten my grip on her waist as I think about the sounds that she made.
With those thoughts taking over, I start moving my hand lower to grip her ass to pull her closer to me.
Her laugh slows and I catch the slight hitch in her next breath as she peers up at me, the sleep leaving her eyes as they begin to darken. Her gaze lowers to my lips and there is no stopping me from moving to capture hers. The feel of how perfectly her ass fits in the palm of my hand has me rolling us until I’m settled between her thighs, my hands moving to hold her closer to me. As I grind down into her, I’m met with the warmth of her bare skin beneath me.
Without breaking the kiss, I run my hand down her bare thigh and grip a hand around her knee, pulling it up to my hip. Breaking away from her lips, something that earns me a whimper of disapproval, I trail kisses along her jaw. She lets out a low moan as I continue down her throat and collar bone, until my face is hovering above the center of her chest. After teasing a path up along her hips, I cup one breasts in my hand while my mouth worships the other.
Lilly squirms and moans beneath me, her warm center grinds against my cock and pulls a deep groan from my chest. The need to be inside her hits me like a freight train. Pushing past my own desires and releasing her knee, I kiss and suck my way down her stomach. Tasting every inch of her perfect figure, not stopping until my mouth hovers over her pussy. Lilly shifts and lifts her hips, as if she’s seeking me out, and a chuckle escapes my lips as I turn my head to kiss the inside of her thigh. A desperate moan escapes from her lips as I turn to kiss her other thigh, skimming my nose along her tempting center in a teasing motion on my way.
With my shoulders holding her legs open, I wrap my arms around her thighs and grip her hips to pull her closer, positioning her an inch from my face. Pausing, I take in the view above me.
Her tanned skin has a flush and a light shimmer of sweat coated over it. Perfect pink lips are parted slightly as she pants in anticipation. Her golden hair is fanned out around her, the braid she wore last night had fallen out at some point while we slept. I stay put, waiting until she finally opens her piercing hazel eyes.
“Dominik.” My name leaves her lips in a breathless plea and is without a doubt the best sound that I’ve ever heard.
I reward her with a slow teasing swipe of my tongue along the length of her pussy without breaking eye contact. The taste of her pulling another groan from me, knowing how easily I could become addicted to the sweet taste of her on my tongue. Before I allow myself to get lost in devouring her, I pull back slightly and move my hands to grip her ass.
“You are fucking beautiful.” She opens her lips to respond, and I cut her off with another swipe of my tongue, only this time I keep going. One of her hands moves to the top of my head, holding me in place as she attempts to grind her hips against me. I free one of my arms to wrap around her waist and hold her still,wanting to draw this out. Her moans and the taste of her on my tongue is enough to forget everything else. Needing to hear more from her, I use the hand that is not wrapped around her waist to give her ass a firm squeeze before letting it go to trace along her inner thigh.
Shifting slightly, I move to give her clit attention while teasing her entrance with two fingers. A desperatepleaseescapes her lips and I give her what she is craving.
Slowly pumping in and out of her a few times before curling my fingers to find that spot that had her tumbling over the edge last night.
