I was deep in her, but it didn’t feel like enough. Grabbing a fistful of her hair at the base of her skull, I pulled her toward me so I could devour her neck and jaw. I pulled her lobe between my lips and whispered words for only her. Hot devotions. Promises of pleasure on top of pleasure. She quivered and moaned, trying to nod but finding she couldn’t with the grip I had on her. Her “Yes,” came out in broken syllables, and I fucked her little fluttering cunt. Nothing was more important than this. Her and me. Not even breathing. My world had whittled down to our connection.
“Clara.” I breathed against her damp temple, nuzzling her tenderly. “Can’t get enough of you.”
“Jake,” she moaned. “Please. I need it.”
“You’ll have it. I’ve got you.”
Releasing my hold on her hair, I pushed her forward, planting my palm in the center of her back. She clamped down on me as her cries grew more frantic, desperate. I knew she was at the precipice, and I followed her, giving and taking. Losing my pace, my rhythm, my mind as I plunged us both into oblivion.
Falling, falling, barely breathing. She reached back to hold my wrist, and I moved my hand to thread our fingers together. If we fell, it would be together.
It took a long time to hit solid ground again. Only when my knees were steady and my feet level did I pull out of her, dispose of my condom, and hitch up my pants. Taking Clara in my arms, I brought us to the grass and cradled her in my lap. She looped her arms around my neck and thrust her face under my jaw.
Stroking her back, I calmed my breathing and hers. She smelled so good, like fresh air and her signature floral scent. I shoved my nose into her silky hair and took a deep whiff.
Dusk had turned to night. Crickets chirped, and grass and bushes rustled in the gentle breeze. I couldn’t think of many places I would have rather been than in the grass next to my bike with this woman in my arms.
“I can’t go that long without you again,” I murmured. “I lost it on you.”
“I didn’t mind that at all.” She drew herself upright and stroked my beard with her fingertips. “It’ll be an adventure riding all the way home with this ache you left behind, though.”
I winced. “Shit. I clearly wasn’t in my right mind. I should have considered—”
“No, Jake. Come on. I asked for it just as much as you wanted to give it. I’m mostly kidding.”
I cupped between her legs, studying her for any signs of pain. She blinked back at me, a smile curving the corners of her mouth.
“All right. I’m going to trust you’re telling the truth, but I’ll be more cognizant next time—”
“You fuck me on the side of the road?” she filled in.
I gave her ass a little smack. “Next time, I want to fuck you like a madman, Clara.”
She snorted a laugh and looked down at herself, her pants around her ankles, my hand holding her pussy. “I think you should take me home.”
“I intend to.”
Her hand covered mine. “What do you think about staying the night?”
My stomach lurched. I’d been dreading dropping her off, but she had Nellie, and we’d agreed that was a no go.
Before I could decide how to answer, she said, “You could leave early. Sneak out through the patio off my bedroom. No one would even know you’d been there. No one but me, that is.”
“You’re sure?”
She nodded. “I wouldn’t have asked if I wasn’t. That brief morning we had together was nice. I’d sort of love to fall asleep and wake up with you again.”
Closing my eyes, I let my forehead fall against hers. She’d been through a hell of a lot more trauma than I had, yet here she was, being brave—asking for what she wanted, telling me exactly how she felt. Her confidence was so fucking sexy and attractive, my head went foggy.
“You know? I’d really love that too.”
I took her hand in mine, and we made our way back home. Dread didn’t pool in my gut as we drew closer to her house. Our near-perfect day wasn’t over. We didn’t have all the time in the world, but we had hours more than expected.
All because Clara had taken a risk and reached for what she wanted.
I wasn’t going to forget this.
