Nina repositioned herself, letting her feet dangle over the edge of his bed.
Zeke dropped to his knees next to the mattress and groaned. “You’ve already soaked through the lace.”
Before she could say anything, his mouth was on her, the sensation of his tongue dulled by the fabric. “Zeke.”
He pressed her thighs wider and slid a finger inside her.
“Oh, yes.”
He added a second finger, curling them as he sucked her clit through the lace.
“Zeke!” She came instantly, her body pulsing around his fingers.
He tugged the lace, dragging the fabric over her clit, and she splintered. The rough tug of the fabric and the soft touch of his tongue the perfect combination of pleasure and pain.
“Fuck. Zeke. So good.”
He withdrew his fingers and pressed his tongue inside her, swirling the tip around and licking her clean. He surged to his feet and kissed her hard, letting her taste herself on his tongue.
Nina groaned. He made her so hot. So crazy. A month with him was nowhere near enough. She wasn’t sure any amount of time with him would be enough.
His fingers pushed into her again, immediately followed by his cock.
She broke their kiss on a gasp when he filled her completely. “You feel so fucking good.”
“I’m sorry, angel, but this is going to be quick.”
“Fuck me hard, Zeke. Don’t hold back. Let me have all of you.”
“You already do, angel.” Zeke slammed into her.
Nina cried out. The angle he hit was perfect. So fucking perfect. He grabbed one hand and brought their joined hands to her breast, tugging her bra to the side. His other hand went between her legs, grasping the panties she still wore. He tugged, dragging the fabric over her clit again.
Her body bowed, the pleasure so fierce she couldn’t see straight. “Zeke.”
“Come for me, angel. Let me feel you. Come.”
Nina’s body answered his demand, coiling tight, then releasing an orgasm so powerful her throat hurt and her body felt like it was being torn apart at the seams. She thrashed on the bed and bucked against him and fucked him harder.
“God, fuck, Nina. Shit.” He slammed into her, stilling deep inside as he trembled with his own orgasm. His entire body shook with aftershocks, sending a shiver through her.
“Wow,” she breathed after a minute.
“Always wow.” Zeke leaned down to kiss her hard, sliding from her body when he did. He helped her to her feet and steadied her before following her to the bathroom. He threw away the condom and cleaned up, then brushed his teeth in the sink next to hers.
Nina wondered if they would have had the same chance to be together if she’d never disappeared. What would life had been like?
As she crawled into bed with Zeke’s arms around her, she kept thinking about it. He told her he wanted her years ago, but what would have happened? Would he have stayed with her instead of following Monty to the military? Would he have protected her and cared for her the same way? Would they have children?
A part of her wanted answers, but she knew they would never come. Instead, she had Zeke for the moment. She was safe. And she was cared for.
It had been a long time since she felt that way. Since the early days with Gwendolyn. In the house on the eastern edge of the city. Where they were like sisters. Where Gwendolyn protected her. Where…
Could Gwendolyn be there?
No. Nina dismissed the idea even as she knew it was possible. It had been a decade since they were at that house. Gwendolyn said she sold it. Nina had forgotten about it, but was it possible?
