I watch in amazement as she rides me. The way she bounces, the sound of her flesh hitting mine. She glances over her shoulder at me, biting back a grin, her expression a lusty haze.
That awakens something in me.
I grab her wrists and pull her arms back behind her, thrusting up to meet her rhythm. Mia responds with a soft, delighted moan.
“You like that?” I grind out, slamming up into her.
“Yes,” she pants. “Oh, yes.”
I’m learning quickly what drives her, how her attempts at control are all coy invitations.
I remember when I thought she was a shy young woman who’d want to be courted slowly, with flowers and dinner dates. Instead, she was burning up from the inside like I was, sending me naked photos, driving me wild with need.
Mia wants a man who isn’t afraid to go after what he wants. I drive into her harder, pulling a fistful of her beautiful black hair.
She cries out as I wildly fuck her from below. I sit up and cover her mouth again as I continue her desired onslaught. Then she shudders, pussy pulsating around my cock, and I allow myself to come with her.
And just as our pleasure peaks at its highest point, the bed breaks, clattering beneath us.
She lets out a squeak as I catch and secure her from tumbling or falling over, rolling on top of her. She looks horrified, covering her mouth.
“Are you all right?” I ask, alert and ready to administer any aid she needs.
Then she stifles laughter, wrapping her legs around me as we lie there on the slanted mattress. “I’m fine,” she murmurs.
I listen vigilantly to the rest of the station. I can hear footsteps.
“Hey, Nolan,” Travis calls up the fire pole. “You okay up there?”
“Fine,” I call back as Mia giggles silently. Her shoulders shake while she sinks into the mattress. “Just dropped something.”
“Oh, all right. Have a good night!”
“You too!”
Mia pulls me into a deep, longing kiss, one that overwhelms my sensors. When the kiss breaks, she nuzzles my nose. “We broke your bed.”
“That’s okay. This is the first time I’ve used it,” I reply, pushing stray hair out of her eyes as my mouth finds hers.
“Can I stay here tonight?” she murmurs, lips brushing along my jaw.
I’m not certain if it’s wise. We could be found out. Apollo especially might not be happy about that, if he discovered her here. But I don’t want to let her go. I can wake her before sunrise and help her slip out unnoticed. I pull her close. “You’re not going anywhere.”
Her smile is bright, framed by the flushed color in her cheeks. “That was amazing. You are the most incredible man I think I’ve ever met.”
I gaze at her. “I think all my drives and processes have imprinted on you, in a strange sort of way. Nothing matters more than you. I’m not sure it ever will.”
She stares at me in surprise, mouth slightly open.
“Was that too much?” I whisper, twirling a lock of her hair around my finger. “Apologies.”
“No!” she says quickly. “Not at all. I just— Most guys would act so casual and never admit it.”
“Honesty is the best policy.” A soft, slow kiss smolders between our lips. “Remember?”
“I believe you.” She simply rests with me a moment, wrapped in my embrace. “With you, I think I’ll believe anything.”
Mia’s voice and the feel of her naked body beneath mine has my entire being captivated. I’m ruined. Enamored.
