“What?”
Her hands slid to my cheek. My neck. Down my arms until she found the hem of my shirt and began lifting.
“Sometimes your strength surprises the hell out of me.”
Her hands froze, and her lips parted in shock at my outburst. “Yeah?”
Did she still doubt what I saw in her? “Of course.”
I went to brush my hand to her cheek, shove it back to her hair and kiss her again but as I did, she arched her hips, shifted the weight of her legs and I went rolling, grabbing her with me until I was on my back and she was once against astride me.
“That is definitely some nice strength you have there,” I murmured, right before she leaned down and teased me with a kiss.
“Every time we’re together, you’re the one who gets to take his time. Tonight, it’s my turn.”
Well, shit. I let go of her hips and tossed my arms out to the side. “Then have at it, sweetheart.”
Her grin wobbled right before her gaze dropped to my stomach, trailed up to my chest. Her cheeks flushed and her beautiful eyes glazed over. It was possible her freckles popped more brightly from the flush of her cheeks.
And then she moved. She flung my shirt behind her, uncaring where it landed, possibly because she was already bending down to trail her lips and tongue over the curves of my pecs.
For as hardened as she was in some ways, she was so innocent in this. And yet as she learned my body and undressed me completely, I let her have her way with me, tasting and teasing in all the right areas. By the time she finally took me in her mouth, I was holding back with the need to blow straight into it.
My hand tangled in her hair, holding it back and giving me a view of her mouth wrapped around me. Her eyes were on me, watching every reaction she pulled from me as one of her hands slid up and down my length and her mouth sucked me as deep as she could.
“I’m gonna come,” I groaned, and as soon as I gave her that warning, she took me deep one more time and swirled her tongue around the head. Right as I started coming, she pulled back, took me in both of her hands while I came all over my chest, my stomach, all over her hands.
“Was that okay?”
I had cum drying to my stomach and she wiped her sticky hands all over me to clean herself off. It shouldn’t have been funny. But my heart was a thunderstorm against my chest. Instead, all I could do is shove my head into my pillow and roar out a laugh.
“I take it that’s a yes?”
“Yes, Lilly. That was better than okay. That was perfect.”
Her grin softened and grew confident. It wasn’t often I found myself fully naked with a fully dressed woman on top of me, looking at me like I was the best award she’d ever won.
Which was good. I felt the same way about her.
“Let me go clean up,” I said.
“I can go.” She moved to climb off me and then the bed, but I stopped her, gripping her hips firmly. “Oh no. The only place you’re going is getting undressed because when I get back I have plans for you.”
That time, we came together, our ecstatic cries mingling together and when we finally fell asleep we were both listless, exhausted. Personally, I’d never felt better.

I woke quickly,alert even though I was foggy from sleep. The sun was up, a rarity for me since I was usually already working out. I turned and searched for Lilly to see if maybe her movements were what woke me but she was exactly how I remembered seeing her. Sleeping on her side, facing away from where I’d held her for most of the night until I got too hot and let her go.
A dull thump hit my door and I frowned.
Figuring that was what woke me, I curled off the bed and slid into a pair of gray sweatpants and snagged a white T-shirt from a drawer. I was still holding it when I got to my door to another round of quiet but persistent knocking and peered out the peephole.
A boy and a girl were out there.Angie.
I figured the guy was her brother. He was sporting a lovely shiner beneath his right eye and a cut beneath his left eye that was being held together with butterfly tape.
I unlocked the door and flung it open. Lilly had people who gave a shit to come check on her. They were welcome without question.
