Page 29 of Reckless Kiss
“Oh god, Esme,” I grunted as I speared her one last, glorious time, spilling everything inside her, hips surging over and over as my semen continued to rocket up and out of my cock.
“Oh. My. God,” Esme cried, her orgasm squeezing and squeezing the last of my cum out of me until I didn’t think I’d ever be able to stop.
I stumbled forward, setting her back on the table, surging in and out of her a few more times becauseI had to.And because she seemed to need it too. The quakes kept coming.
Until finally we both let out one last breath and stilled.
Instinctively I knew I had ten seconds to end this right or else it would explode in disaster, so I dropped kisses along the column of her neck and nuzzled behind her ear. “My god you’re a beautiful, wild woman, Esme.” I pressed inside her one last time to make a point. “You’ve undone me in a way no one else ever has. Thank you.”
She swallowed, the action pressing her skin against mine again. “I can’t believe we just did that.” Her arms began to tremble.
“Everything’s okay. I meant it when I said you were safe with me, Esme. Darling. I’ve got this. No one is around.”
She nodded several times and relaxed a little. “Okay.”
I pulled out of her, removed the condom and tied it off, then tucked myself away before helping her down and smoothing her skirt. Aside from a freshly fucked glow, she looked exactly the same as when I followed her down here. “You look beautiful.”
“Thank you.”
And because I couldn’t help it, I brushed her hair out of her face. “Just you and me here, Esme. No doubts. No consequences.”
She nodded quickly, looking away.
Ihatedthat she looked away.
“I appreciate what you did for me. Again.”
God, how I needed her eyes on me. I cupped her chin and brought her gaze back. “I think I’m the one that should be thanking you. You’re miraculous.”
Miraculous?Where the fuck was I coming up with this stuff? And yet, I meant it. It was like I didn’t even know myself anymore.
“You’re a good friend,” she whispered.
And it hit me in the gut. Twice.Friend.To her I was a good friend with benefits. Someone who happened to be able to fulfill her sexual needs. And to Jeffry I was the worst kind of friend. Fucking the woman he was dating behind his back.
Twice.
It didn’t matter that the first time I didn’t know they knew each other and it didn’t matter that they hadn’t gone on a date yet. That was an accidental crossing of the friendship line.
This was intentional.
Desperate. Needed. But intentional. I knew I was crossing a line and I didn’t give a flying fuck. Jeffry didn’t even cross my mind until we were finished.
I was the absolute worst friend on the planet.
“You need me, I’m here.” I said it and knew I meant it, even though Jeffry was my best friend, there was something more here with Esme. Something important. I needed her to know she could count on me for anything, even if all she saw was sex when she looked at me.
“Well hopefully there will be no more mandatory dinner parties.” She looked everywhere but at me.
I couldn’t stand it.
I kissed her. “You are miraculous and you are my friend. You need me, you call me. No questions asked. Are you okay tonight?” It was absolutely insane and stupid how much I wanted her to say she needed me to go home with her.
She took a deep breath and let it out. “I think I’m fine now, thanks to you.”
“It was my pleasure.” I said it as solemnly as I could. I really wanted her to understand that she as so much more than sex. I cared about her.
“Anyway, I’m sorry you’ve been professionally roped into the tangled web of Edmund Brown. I hope it won’t make things uncomfortable when we hang out as friends.” Her eyes went wide. “And please don’t tell anyone who I am. Obviously Marie knows but none of my coworkers do. I’d like to keep it that way.”
“That secret is yours to keep for however long you wish, Esme. No one will hear differently from me. I promise.”Darling.I wanted to say it again. Say it when we weren’t in the throes of orgasm. It was who she was quickly becoming to me.
My darling.
My Esme.
But not mine at all.
