Page 132 of What are the Risks
For something I’d done so many times in the past, with countless other women, this time was different – it was better than I’d ever known possible.
I loved sex, but I fuckinglovedsex with Ruby.
When I angled my hips lower, Ruby clutched at my arms. Her nails sank into my skin, leaving a mark, but I didn’t care. I would happily have something on my body that reminded me of this moment for the rest of my life.
My strokes were relentless and demanding, though for each one, Ruby met me eagerly, alternating between panting and holding her breath. I liked both responses. I liked knowing I was giving her life and then taking her breath away.
“Is this working for you?” I checked, making sure.
“Yes,” she breathed. “I think I might even – oh God.”
She fell back against the pillow, her eyes squeezing shut as her entire body heaved. I could feel her orgasm around my cock. It pulsed, shattering my control.
Her pleasure was more stimulating than all the foreplay combined, and it was enough to tip me over the edge. After a few more thrusts, I gave into the ache and spilled inside her, my own climax intense enough that my arms almost gave way.
In silence we came back down to earth together. Chest to chest. Heart against heart. Only once I felt Ruby’s breaths even out did I partially sit up.
With groggy eyes, she watched me, her cheeks adorably flushed.
“Hey.” I ran my thumb along her jaw. “Need a minute?”
“I’ve never come just from sex,” she sheepishly admitted. “I guess that crowns you the best sex partner I’ve ever had. I feel like I should thank your dick.”
I rumbled a laugh. “Trust me, you just did. Come here.”
Rolling onto my back, I pulled her with me. She settled her head against my bare chest, but barely five seconds later, she was squirming and sitting up.
“Humour me, Rubz. Cuddle with me for ten minutes.”
She grumbled. “Ten minutes?”
“Surely naked cuddling gets me a pass?”
She didn’t budge.
“Surely being thebestsex partner you’ve ever had does?”
She threw a pillow at me. “I regretted that the moment I said it.”
Removing the pillow from my face, she propped it beside me then resettled in the crook of my arm. Ruby agreeing to cuddle me was almost a bigger bombshell than the fact we’d just slept together.
Wanting to keep her distracted, I started talking straight away. “How’s work?”
“Busy, but good.”
“And what about the latest rotation?”
“It’s great! I’m really enjoying working with Dr. Spring. There’s actually this position she wants me to apply for.” She fiddled with the blankets. “In Tacoma.”
“Tacoma?”
“It’s thirty-four miles out of Seattle.”
I trailed my fingers along her side, loving the fact she was still naked. “That’s far from home.”
“It is, but...” Her eyebrows lowered as she peered up at me. “I was only going back because Noah wanted to.”
Fuck Noah. And fuck that Ruby was willing to dim her own dreams to suit his.
