Luke’s warm lips touched mine, and my entire body exploded with ripples of pleasure. My nipples pressed against my bra, and before I knew it, I threw my arms around his shoulders and kissed him back. His tentative mouth turned hungry and so did mine. He slipped his tongue into my mouth, and I moaned into his.

I regretted not kissing him sooner. He was like a glass of water after I’d been wandering in the desert. He quenched my thirst, but I wanted more.

His hands reached up and moved through my hair, sending tingling feelings running down my body and spreading warmth throughout my midsection.

He pulled away from me, holding my face in his hands. His eyes were heavy, and he panted slightly. He licked his lips, and my gaze fell on those delicious pillows. How I wanted to rest in them for the remainder of my life.

“Sophia,” he said. “Are you sure you want to do this?”

I answered him by untucking his shirt from his pants and tugging at the hem.

He grinned, and the dampness between my thighs intensified.

His hands roamed from my waist to my butt, squeezing me where it counted.

I lifted up on my toes to kiss him again while undoing each of the buttons on his shirt. There were so many, I had the urge to rip them off, but I wanted to take it slowly. I hadn’t been with a man for so long, and I was going to take my time and relish every damn second.

Pulling away his shirt, I splayed my hands over his rock-hard chest. He wasn’t chiseled like men in the movies or on the front of magazines, but he was strong. He proved that when he lifted me up and dropped me on his bed.

He lifted my chin to look right at him. “Damn, you’re so beautiful.”

Heat coursed through me, and it wasn’t just because of the compliment. I was eye level with the hardness bulging in his pants.

I reached out to touch the line of hair under his belly button. Feeling the soft tuft, I dug deeper, popping the button of his pants open and slowly pulling down the zipper.

I glanced up at him, and his jaw slackened as he watched me pull out his cock and stroke it. His silky hardness was ready and alert. While I stroked, I watched him. His pupils dilated, and his chest heaved.

I leaned forward and kissed his tip. He moaned and moved closer to me, aiding its entry into my mouth. He filled me, and I continued to stroke while sucking, harder and harder. My pulse spiked every time he moaned, and my breasts started to ache, wanting to be set free. I wanted his hands and mouth all over me, and I became more impatient.

I pulled away from him, and before I could say anything, he shoved his pants down, freeing himself completely. He pressed a hand against my chest and pushed me down onto the bed.

He stood over me, and I could see him with a crown on his head. He was a prince that anyone would have fantasized about, yet I had him right in front of me, all to myself.

He peeled off my shoes and tugged my pants down, revealing my lacy black panties. It was a good thing I had chosen to wear them today. I wasn’t expecting this to happen, but I thanked whatever instinct had told me to pick them.

Speaking of prepared. “Do you have any protection?”

His hand trailed up my thigh, and my muscles vibrated under his touch. His lips quirked, and for a moment, fear flashed across his face.

“I, um, have never brought anyone here.”

“I have something,” I said. Then my cheeks flushed. In addition to the lacy panties, I’d brought a few condoms. So maybe I had wanted this to happen. I hoped he wasn’t offended or thought that I did this often.

“You little minx,” he said and kissed me. His body was on mine, and the heat rolling off him overwhelmed me. He pushed off the bed and went over to my bag. I rolled over and propped myself up on my arm.

“Inside pocket,” I said. I chewed on my lip, wondering how long I’d had those. I hoped they weren’t expired. I shook away the thought. I had wanted Luke for a long time, and nothing was going to stop us from making love tonight.

Luke returned to me seconds later with the foil packet. He tossed it onto the bed next to me and coaxed me into a sitting position. He lifted my shirt over my head and unclasped my bra. The material fell off my chest, exposing me completely to Luke. He kissed one of my breasts while kneading the other. My head lolled back as his tongue circled the most sensitive part of my body. Well, at least, my upper body.

“Scoot up,” he said without removing his mouth from my breast.

I slid backward, and he crawled onto the bed with me. He switched to the other breast while his free hand moved lower. He drew a line with his finger down my middle and stopped when he reached the top of my panties. His finger curved along the edge of the hem before he pushed himself inside.

I gasped as he entered me. He slid in so quickly. His thumb rubbed my clit, and before I knew it, I was climbing higher, unable to breathe properly. I panted as Luke covered my mouth with his and his tongue darted inside of my mouth. He massaged my tongue with his, and my ears started to ring.

I was on the precipice of orgasm when he started to slow down.

“No, no,” I moaned.

“Patience,” he said with a smirk. He pulled my panties off and tossed them off the bed before ripping open the foil packet and rolling the condom down his length.

I moved closer to him and opened my legs, inviting him inside.

He took the invite and slowly entered me. I drew in a breath, which was quickly extinguished by his lips.

He moved inside of me, and we quickly found our rhythm. Streaks of heat ignited in every spot that he touched me. His hands roamed my body as much as mine did his. I found the peaks and valleys of his muscles, and I committed them to memory.

Even though I knew Luke hadn’t had a girlfriend for some time, he knew exactly how to make me feel good. He was a tease, too. He’d build me up until I was close and then slow down, drawing out the anticipation of my climax.

I nipped him on the shoulder, silently warning him that soon, I was going to take it for myself.

He slowed down enough that he could kiss me. His lips were soft and gentle, as if this were our first kiss.

The moment he broke away from the kiss, the race was on. He picked up his pace as if he’d also had enough of his stalling. I didn’t plan on letting him get away from me anytime soon, so I knew there would be more to come. I made a mental note to see how he liked to be teased.

All thoughts were extinguished from my mind as he hammered into my sweet spot over and over. My chin reached for the ceiling as I tried to contain myself. Luke grunted the most animalistic sound I’d ever heard from him.

He thrusted into me over and over until I reached my peak. I dug my nails into his back as he rode me up and over my climax and then all the way down. I felt the moment that he came, and I wanted to do it all over again to see the pleasure on his face again.

I bucked my hips to milk every ounce out of him before he pulled out of me and dropped to my side.

I twined my legs around him and kissed him again. We stayed like that for some time, kissing and touching each other.

“That was…” Luke said and then licked his lips.

“Good?” I helped.

“Better than good,” he said. “I was going to say unexpected.”

“Rarely do I go from kissing a guy to that,” I said. “I mean, I don’t kiss a lot of guys—” I shut up before I ruined the moment.

He chuckled and took my hand in his, grazing his lips over my knuckles.

Luke adjusted himself so that I was lying on his arm. His finger traced around my stomach and up to my breasts. I closed my eyes, intensifying the feeling of his skin against mine.

I thought back to earlier in the evening and why I’d come back into his room to begin with.

Fluttering open my eyes, I glanced up at him. “Sorry about before.”

“You’re sorry?” he asked.

“Not about this,” I said, touching his hand. “With your mother, I mean. I didn’t want to make things uncomfortable for everyone.”

He grunted. “Don’t worry about her. I’ll handle it.”

“You will?” I asked.

“Of course,” he said. “This is where I want to be, and my mother is going to have to get used to it.”

I curled up with him, a grin plastered on my face. Closing my eyes, I listened to Luke’s breathing become heavy before the both of us drifted off to sleep.
