“Are you trying to drive me wild?”

“Maybe.” I smirked.

Who was I right now?

Bold. Confident. Sexy.

It was like Cole had given me the freedom to step into another persona for the night—one who took what she wanted and worried about the consequences later.

Cole kissed me. Only this kiss was different to the ones before. Urgent and desperate, his tongue plunged into my mouth, stealing the air from my lungs as he devoured me.

Letting his weight fall on me a little more, he rocked his hips forward and I whimpered when I felt him hard and thick, right up against me.

“Is this okay?” he murmured, sliding his hand under my thigh to lift me into him.

“Y-yes, don’t stop.”

“Fuck, Sofe. You feel so good and I’m not even inside you yet.”

Desire pulsed inside me. He knew all the right things to say to get me out of my head. To take me away from the living nightmare I’d found myself in.

His mouth trailed hot wet kisses over my jaw and down my throat. I angled my head to give him better access, reveling in the way his lips felt branding me. He licked and nipped, grazing my skin gently with his teeth.

“Cole,” I cried, arching into him. I needed more.

So much more.

“Touch me, please.”

“Shit, yeah, okay.” He rolled off me to the side, his hand sliding down my stomach and hovering at the waistband of my panties. “You sure?”

I nodded, unable to speak as his fingers brushed back and forth along my hip.

God, I was going to combust if he didn’t touch me—

Pleasure saturated me as his fingers dipped inside my underwear and glided over my clit.

“You’re so wet, babe.” He kissed me, flicking his tongue into my mouth in slow, shallow licks, mirroring the way he dragged his thumb over my clit.

“It feels… God, yes. Like that.”

Pleasure rippled through me, gathering low in my stomach. Cole upped his pace a little, pressing two fingers inside me.

“Oh yes…”

“You like that?”

“Mm-hmm,” I murmured, fisting the bedsheet.

“I want to make you come, Sofe.”

“Yes, yes… God yes…”

He lifted his head and chuckled. “I want to make you come with my tongue.”

“Oh.”

Oh.
