Finally, he stops as my body begins to come down. He lowers me to the mattress, spent.
He climbs above me. “That was good, then?” His cocky smile makes me laugh.
“Good? It was fucking fantastic.”
His brows shoot up. “Well, if I made you swear, then it must be.”
I laugh. Cody would try anything to get me to swear in high school, but I wouldn’t give in. It was a stupid game we played.
“I hate to take away from this moment, but I do swear now.”
He waggles his eyebrows. “Good, because I plan to elicit a lot more dirty words out of you. Are you ready?”
“Yes, I want you.”
He reaches over and opens the drawer of the nightstand. By the time he’s back over me, he’s grown serious.
“What’s wrong?” I ask.
He settles between my legs. “I’m so sorry for leaving the way I did.”
I smile up at him. “I know.” I kiss him as he lines up at my entrance.
He breaks the kiss and looks into my eyes. “You’re sure about this?”
I wrap my legs around him and give him a nudge. “If you don’t fuck me right now, I’ll scream.”
“But, Luce, I want you to scream.”
Before I can say anything more, he pushes all the way in. I can’t stop the tears that wet my eyes. He feels so familiar and different all at once. But one thing that hasn’t changed is that being here with him like this feels like coming home. It just feels right.
He buries his head in my neck as he moves in and out.
“Cody?”
He lifts his head, and I see his eyes are glassy. “I’m so sorry for leaving,” he rasps. “I’ll never leave you again.” Then he kisses me hard.
I kiss back with all I have.
He picks up the pace, and his fingers find my clit and rub in circles. “Fuck, Luce. I could do this all night.”
He swivels his hips as he enters. It feels so good. I lightly bite down on his shoulder.
“Come again for me,” he grunts out.
His fingers move faster on my clit, and I scream out when my orgasm hits me. He thrusts two more times, then groans as he has his own release. Then he falls to his side, taking me with him.
“That was better than I remember,” he says.
“Yeah, me too.”
“You’d better rest up, because I think we’re going to have to try that again. I’ll be right back.”
He jumps up and takes care of the condom, then comes back to bed and snuggles with me. I’m all for doing that again and again.
