Aria

Nate makes me feel so good, I’m able to forget for full minutes at a time why the idea of being with anyone like this is difficult for me. My body is still vibrating with the orgasm he’s just wrung out of me, yet my mind skips, and all at once, I’m far off in a place I don’t want to be. My heart clenches as I try to pull myself out of the dark. I close my eyes and focus on breathing until I’m under control.

Nate’s still between my legs, and seeing him there feels right. He’s what I need right now. I shift, smiling softly at him. He looks up at me while he kisses the inside of my thigh, nipping at the skin, then licking over the spot to soothe the sting. “I want to be so deep inside you, Aria.”

My heart races, and I nod, raking my teeth over my lip. I crave this closeness with Nate. I need him to make me forget. Based on my experiences with Conner, I should absolutely be afraid of Nate’s size and strength. But I’m not. He’s respectful of me. He’s gentle when I need him to be and rough when I want him to be. A hard swallow works down my throat. “I want it, too.”

Nate presses a kiss to my pussy then crawls over to where I threw his jeans after I stripped them off him. He digs into one of the pockets, coming up with a condom. He rolls it on, and my eyes sweep over the perfect form of his body. I get hung up on his taut nipples, the ridges and indentations of his abs, and the deep grooves leading down to his hard cock. He crawls between my legs, then leans down, catching me in an open-mouthed kiss that sends pleasure streaking through my body. He holds most of his weight on his forearms as he continues to worship my mouth, his tongue massaging mine. I feel every ounce of his desire for me in the way he’s almost desperately kissing me. My heart, so cracked and broken, mends a tiny bit. I never knew it would be like this. Never knew it could be. Fuck you, Conner. You can’t have me.

Nate’s thick cock nudges my entrance, and a flash of heat sizzles through me, rendering me incapable of thinking about anyone but him. He hooks one of my legs with his arm and slowly begins to push himself inside me.

My mouth falls open at the feeling of him stretching me so wide. I claw at his shoulders, my breath coming out in staccato pants. My other leg wraps around his hip, clamping down.

His jaw goes rigid when he sees what must be a rather wild look in my eyes. “Are you okay?”

“I-I just forgot—” I stammer.

“Yeah. You’re tiny. I’m—”

“Not,” I gasp as he moves just a fraction.

He lifts one hand to my face, cupping my cheek and sliding the pad of his thumb over my bottom lip. I stare into his eyes as he moves it back and forth. Back and forth. “Do you know how much I like your mouth on my cock?” He pushes his thumb between my lips. “It made you so goddamn wet. Suck for me.”

My face flushes, but I swirl my tongue around and around, moaning a little as I do.

“You’re so fucking sexy, Aria.” He pushes his thumb in and out of my mouth, simulating his dick, and oh God… it’s turning me on. An intense throb of arousal makes me moan and suck harder.

Ever so slowly, Nate begins to move, withdrawing, then pushing back inside my body. He removes his thumb from my mouth and replaces it with his tongue in a fiercely sweet kiss. My body meets his stroke for stroke as we find a rhythm that is all ours.

He’s turning everything I know on its head. Making me think I could have something real and good. As I gaze up at the stars, I let the idea consume me. I give it wings and let it fly.

My heart hammers impossibly hard against my rib cage as Nate picks up speed and our movements become more frantic. His body feels so good against mine, and I can’t help but let my hands wander over every bit of him that I can reach, from his brawny, golden shoulders to his tight, toned ass.

And when I think it couldn’t get better, it does. He changes things up on me, kneeling and tilting me just so, then pushes my legs up until they are tucked against my torso. His eyes roam greedily over me, and I can’t blame him as I’m doing the same thing. Skin glistening, he’s the hottest thing I’ve ever seen. As he begins to slowly thrust into me, he catches my eye. “Look at us,” he grits out, and his gaze drops to where his cock is sliding into my pussy.

It’s mesmerizing.

Mind-bending.

Soul-wrenching.

And then he reaches for my hand, placing it right there at my slick entrance so I can feel him as he enters me. I suck in a sharp breath as the sensations rushing through me magnify a thousandfold. Oh God. This may be the most intense thing I’ve ever experienced in my life. And fuck if I can’t stop watching us—together. As one.

Nate rubs swift circles around my clit until I’m panting and crying out and moaning, unable to stop the torrent of pleasure careening at breakneck speed through my body. With every plunge of his cock inside me, I become more and more his. More whole. Less broken.

Out of my mind, the orgasm takes me, and I surrender to it, body clenching and shaking. With a sharp snap of his hips against my ass, Nate throws his head back as he empties into me. “Fuck, Aria. Fuck. You’re mine.” His eyes blaze as he languidly pumps another few times, almost as if he doesn’t want this moment to be over.

And I don’t either. This was entirely too good. I feel like we’re cosmically connected or something.

I’m terrified it can’t last.
