that this was Nick—who lazed his way through
life, who never felt anything too deeply—and he was into her so intensely.
She’d never known this was
part of who he was. Maybe she’d never really known him at all.
“What’s the matter?” he
asked, his eyebrows lowering slightly.
“Nothing.” She bent her legs
up around his hips and ran her fingernails lightly down his back. “Now get
going.”
“Should have known you’d try
to boss me around in bed.” Despite his dry mutter, he was smiling again as he
started to move.
She was smiling too.
He built up a fast, steady
rhythm that stimulated her all over, and soon she was losing control again. He
was filling her completely. Her whole body was being moved by his, and she
couldn’t keep control of the sensations. She fell out of rhythm, clutching at
his ass and trying to ride him from below.
“Damn, sweetheart.” His whole
body seemed to get even tighter. He was trying to move with her, but she too
far gone. “Damn.”
She let out a loud sobbing
sound as she reached climax, shaking and tightening and digging her fingernails
into his firm flesh. When the waves of pleasure finally worked their way
through her, she collapsed back onto the bed, a satisfied smile on her face.
Nick leaned down to kiss her.
“Sorry,” she mumbled against
his lips. “I kind of lost it there.”
“I have no complaints.” He
adjusted his weight so he could slide one hand down and cup her bottom with it.
“But this time, let’s try to do it together.”
“Sounds good to me.”
Since she was less urgent
now, she was able to move with him when he started to thrust again. He started
slowly at first until they’d managed to synchronize their motion. Then finally
his face twisted with what looked like effort and pleasure, and he started to
accelerate.
“Yeah,” she gasped, as he
pumped his hips hard against hers. “Yeah, Nick. Just like that.”
For the first time, he seemed
beyond words. His gray-green eyes never left her face, and they were so hungry,
so strangely needy, that it scared her just a little.
She didn’t have time to
react, though, because everything else was feeling so good. They were moving
together really well, fast, urgent, primitive, shaking the bed, shaking their
bodies. Nick had started to grunt softly, and she loved the sound of it, like
he was feeling too much to keep it inside. She was making helpless little
sounds too as she clawed at his back and his ass.
It all felt good—really
good—but after a while it started feeling even better as another orgasm began
to tighten inside her. She’d never had trouble coming during sex, but she
usually didn’t come repeatedly this way. She had no idea what was happening to
her. It was like her body just couldn’t get enough of Nick.
“Oh God!” she gasped, arching
her neck and closing her eyes.
“Yeah, sweetheart,” he
muttered, evidently seeing she was close. “Yeah. Come again. Come. Again.”
She did, making an
embarrassingly loud cry as she did. Then he was coming too. His body clenched
up hard. Then froze. Then released in tight shudders that ripped through his
body, causing him to choke on a helpless exclamation of his own.
They were both panting
desperately as he finally collapsed on top of her. She still felt the
occasional little clench of pleasure, and her body softened in deep satisfaction.
After a minute, Nick rolled
off her, holding the condom carefully as he pulled out. But he didn’t get up.
He just lay beside her, panting just as loudly as she was.
“Wow,” she managed to say at
last. “That was…”
“Wow.” He turned his head to
smile at her. “I knew we’d be good together.”
“I didn’t. It never even
crossed my mind.”
“That was your mistake.”
“It sure was.” Her hair was
sticking to her damp face, so she brushed it back impatiently. “I can’t believe
we did that.”
“We can do it again,” Nick
said, his eyes softening uncharacteristically
