“We didn’t have a very big selection…”
She didn’t seem to be listening when she gave an excited gasp and dropped the knife. The other two in the room glanced backas startled as I was, but Kami stared at me with the biggest, brightest eyes.
“I have a book you need to read!” Salad forgotten, knife abandoned on the board, she hurried over and grabbed my hand. “I have a copy in my nook. It’s life changing.”
“Hey!” Lavena called after us as Kami yanked me towards the door. “The salad!”
“I’m coming back!” Kami promised without slowing in her sprint.
“You’re lying!” Lavena yelled after us. “That room is a—”
I never heard what Kami’s reading nook was as she hauled me up the stairs to the last door at the end of the hallway. I laced our fingers together, taking advantage of the situation while I could. Kami didn’t seem to notice, too excited by the idea of sharing her book to notice much else.
The door opened to a steep set of stairs to what used to be the attic. At the top, she released me to hurry to the row of shelves along the far wall, leaving me to linger by the door and wait for her.
The idea of the nook had been mine. It had been meant as joke after Kam and Lavena got into a heated argument over Lavena being too loud and disrupting her reading, and Lavena shooting back that they were on vacation and Kami should stop reading. As a smart-ass teenager, I’d teased that Kami should just have her own soundproof reading room to lock herself away in. My parents who had been arguing for days over what to get Kami for her birthday that wasn’t yet another gift card to a bookstore with an obscene amount of money on had immediately loved the idea. A private reading space on vacation was exactly what she needed, they decided.
The reveal, though, watching the joy and tears on Kami’s face, the radiating euphoria as she took in the space, the threewalls of all her favorite books, the dozens of comfortable reading spots, the lights, and everything a bookworm needed…
It may have started out as a joke but in that moment, I felt like a superhero.
“Found it!” Kami hurried back to me, a tattered and faded paperback in hand. The destroyed sight of it had me peering up at her with a raised eyebrow. “I found it in a thrift store,” she explained. “Someone has even written notes in the margins and their thoughts are just … beautiful. Whoever they were had such a deep soul. I would love to meet them and—”
I kissed her.
It was light and brief, and so rude interrupting her, but I’d been dying for years to taste all that addictive joy radiating off her.
“Sorry,” I murmured. “I couldn’t help it.”
She smiled sweetly and looked down. “I know I’m weird…”
“You’re amazing.”
Her cheeks pinkened. “Will you read it?” She offered me the book as if it were her most treasured possession, like I would crush her heart if I refused.
I accepted her gift and studied the dull, yellow cover of a cottage in the middle of a prairie, surrounded by tall grass and bare trees. The sky above it was yellow with dark smudges in the clouds. The title was torn off, and only part of the author’s name was visible.
“They really did a number on this guy, huh?”
“I think it was very well loved,” she corrected, staring at the paperback with a fondness that was too endearing to ignore.
I chose not to ask what it was about. I didn’t read the faded back. I accepted her word that I would enjoy it and tucked it into my side. Then I reached for her. I pulled her into my chest with a gentle tug.
“Will you read it with me?”
Her dark eyes widened even as her face broke into a brilliant smile. “Really?”
I nodded. “I want to hear the story with your voice.”
She kissed me this time. Her arms curled around my shoulders, and I wasted no time pulling her up, allowing her legs to bind around my hips.
I fucked her slowly on the floor of her precious nook, her wrists pinned by mine to the ground as I sank deep inside her waiting heat, her pale dress a bunched puddle twisted across her naked chest. I rode her with hard, shallow thrusts that she met with downward rolls of her hips, her heels digging into the carpet.
I fucked her until her walls grew hot and slick, until her breathing wheezed into whines, until her thighs quivered around my hips. I fed her my cock until she gasped my name and bowed her body under me.
I pulled out.
My hands tightened on her wrists, keeping them anchored to the plush carpet. My hips held her quivering thighs open, giving her no way to ease the ache I knew she was feeling. She bucked and begged, and I watched her face morph from confusion to panic to fury. Her belly heaved with every sound that left her. Her arms trembled under my hold, her fingers bunched balls of tension.
