Nina cupped his jaw and pushed him to sit on the bed. She crawled on top of him, straddling him and lowering herself down until she cradled his erection between her thighs. “I want you, Zeke. I want all of you. I want to know sex isn’t just an act, but it’s something between people who care about each other. It can be beautiful and fun and more than a requirement.”
“I wish I’d been able to teach you all those things, Nina. I wish I’d been the one to give you your first time.”
Nina gasped. “You were… I was… I always wished it had been you.”
“Me, too, angel. I wanted you so badly. That was part of why I let you go that night. I couldn’t say no to you.”
“Don’t say it now, Zeke. Please. Show me what would have happened if I’d never disappeared.”
Zeke growledand wrapped her tight in his arms. He knew being with her was a gift. A gift he never thought he’d ever have. He was an asshole for claiming her when she was still scared of everything, but he wasn’t strong enough to say no to her.
Again.
He didn’t think he ever would be. All the other women he’d ever known were easy enough to forget. One night, maybe two, and he was ready to get rid of them. He hadn’t even gotten inside Nina and knew it wouldn’t be enough. It would never be enough.
Nina rocked on his lap, a motion so subtle Zeke didn’t think she realized she was doing it. He encouraged her movement with a hand on her hip, which had the opposite effect and stalled her.
“Keep going,” he whispered against her lips. “I want to know what you like.”
She shook her head. “I don’t know. I… It was never up to me.”
“Now it is. Your body did it for a reason. Keep going, Nina.”
“Will you…”
“Anything, sweetheart. What do you need me to do?”
“Will you help me?”
“In what way?”
She shrugged. “I don’t know. I don’t know what feels good.”
“Come here,” Zeke whispered, bringing her lips back to his. He teased her mouth opened and delved inside, tasting hersweetness. He kissed her softly, then kissed her hard. He kissed her with a hand on her waist, then with his hand in her hair. He kissed her every way he could think of until her hips shifted once more.
Her body softened in his arms, her nervousness fading as her body took over. He slid one hand to her thigh, then squeezed gently when her hips faltered. He growled against her lips and filled her mouth with his tongue. His other hand cupped the back of her head, tilting it to suit his needs, and feeling her go liquid again.
She rocked and shifted, her pace speeding up as frustration and desire poured from her.
Zeke tore his lips from hers and trailed his tongue down her throat. He sucked his way back up, nibbling on her ear. “Are you going to come for me, Nina? Are you going to let go and moan my name?”
“Yes,” she whispered, her voice husky and muffled.
“What’s my name, Nina?”
“Zeke.”
“Yes, angel. I love hearing you whisper my name. Hearing your breath falter.” He thrust up against her, and she gasped. “Oh, yeah, just like that.”
“Zeke.”
“Yeah, Nina?”
“Do that… More.”
Zeke cupped both her hips, holding her head in place with his teeth on her ear. He dipped his tongue into her ear, and she moaned again.
He urged her to go faster, dragging her away, then slamming her body against his as he rose up and met her in the middle.
