“Shawn!” I gasped softly and clutched at his shoulders.
“Shhh.” He brushed a soft kiss over my lips and then slid down my body with practiced ease.
He slid his tongue between my labia and pressed gently against my entrance and I curled my fingers into the blanket beneath us. Gasping for air, I lifted my hips slightly against his mouth and then collapsed on the bed in wonder. His tongue slid over my clit and I jerked hard against him.
His hands clamped on my hips and held me still. After several agonizing laps of his tongue, he sucked my clit between his lips and I shattered. My vision darkened and I went slack under his hands.
I covered my face with my hands and shook for several seconds. “Wow.”
Shawn placed a soft kiss on my inner thigh and slid upward slowly. Kisses that felt like whispers drifted over my stomach, breasts, and upward to my mouth. I moaned against the press of his lips and tongue.
“I’m rushing this,” he whispered softly. “I don’t mean to.”
“You can make it up to me later.” I slid my hands down his stomach and wrapped one around his cock. “Fuck me.”
He moved against my palm as I explored the length of him. “Condom.”
I stilled briefly. “Crap, I might have some in the bathroom.” I pointed toward the door.
Shawn chuckled softly and snagged both of my hands. “I can go back to my apartment if there isn’t one.”
“Fuck.” I watched disgruntled as he left the bed and disappeared into the bathroom across the hall from my bedroom. He came back a few minutes later with a small box.
“We’re in luck.” He tossed the box on the bed after pulling one free. “Not that I wasn’t game for a naked run across the hall.”
I laughed softly and reached out for him. “Come here.”
He rolled the condom on with a practiced ease and moved up between my legs. I spread my thighs farther apart and pressed my feet against the mattress.
I hissed softly as he pressed the head of his cock against me and then pushed inside. “Yes.”
Shawn pushed deep inside and ran his hand down the length of my thigh. He lifted me off the bed slightly as he thrust into me. I felt full and overwhelmed at the same time. My clit pulsed hard between my labia and each push of his cock sent a shaft of pleasure up my spine. Wrapping my legs around his hips, I pulled him as close as I could.
I raked my nails down his back and he arched in my arms. His body slapped hard against mine and orgasm started to build deep inside. Then he slowed down and rolled us over.
Arching back, I slid fully down onto his cock and stilled. I pushed my hair back and started to move slowly. His hands moved over my thighs and upward to my breasts. Fingers tugged at my nipples and pinched them just enough to hurt. Heat spread down my stomach and orgasm rushed so suddenly that I cried out.
I moved hard against him and gasped when he pulled me abruptly firm against his chest and forced me still. His hips thrust up against mine several times and then he relaxed slowly beneath me.
We laid there breathing hard and slick with sweat for a few minutes before I carefully slid off him and sprawled beside him on the bed.
“That was…” I waved my hand. “Fantastic.”
“Yeah, it sure was.” He rolled to his side and put his hand on my stomach. “This wasn’t what I planned when I came over here.”
“I know.” I smiled. “I won’t hold it against you if you promise to do it again.”
“Deal.” He leaned in and kissed my mouth softly. “Do you want me to go?”
At first, I said nothing, but then I realized that I’d made it clear earlier that my bed was a no-man’s-land of a sort. “No, I think I’d like it if you stayed.”
If he was surprised, it didn’t show. I wonder if I looked as surprised as I felt. I hadn’t slept beside a man in years. He left the bed and disappeared into the bathroom. The rush of water running filled the silence of the apartment. After a few minutes, I slid off the bed and walked naked to the bathroom. He was at the sink.
I pulled a couple of towels from the cabinet and put them on the counter. As I passed by him a second time, he reached out and grabbed me. “Hey.”
“You and those green eyes.” He touched my cheek and shook his head. “Very sexy.”
Shawn pulled me close and kissed my mouth softly. It had been a long time since I’d been treated so gently and carefully by a man. I moaned softly against his mouth and parted my lips to the press of his tongue. His hands slid down my back and I pressed closer.
He lifted his head and sighed. “Shower?”
“Yeah.” I smiled softly and slid my hand down his chest. “You should start wearing a full sweatsuit when you jog.”
“Why?”
“The women in the neighborhood aren’t used to the kind of stimulation that you provide.” I tucked my face against the side of his neck and kissed him. “I like that I have to look up to you.”
“We’re a good fit.”
Yeah, we were. I turned and went to the shower to turn it on. On a personal level, I was pretty sure I’d jumped out of the frying pan and into a fire. Shawn didn’t strike me as a man easy to put off or control. While it had never been my intention, I’d done most of the maneuvering and manipulating in my relationship with Connor. And maybe that was why it was so easy to let him go. It had become clear several months ago that he wasn’t going to let me push him into something more permanent or serious.
“You’re frowning.”
I glanced back at him as I slid into the shower and adjusted the temperature of the water. “Just thinking.”
He moved into the stall and pulled the door shut. “Well, no more thinking, if that is going to be the result.”
I rested against his chest when he pulled me to him. His cock hardened against my ass as we stood there under the water. Being with him was too easy and felt so natural that it was alien.
“I thought he was going to rape me.”
“I know.” Shawn pressed a soft kiss on my shoulder and held me tight. “I’m sorry.”
“It wasn’t your fault.”
“I was the one that had a bad feeling. I should have checked your door myself.”
“I’m not your responsibility.” I turned in his arms and met his gaze.
“I take your safety very seriously.” He rubbed my mouth with his thumb. “I’ll push at Martin; he’s in my unit. I’ll do all that I can to make sure your case doesn’t get pushed aside as long as there are leads to follow.”
“Thank you.”
“I’m sorry that I’ve kept you up half the night.” I slid beside him under the cool cotton sheet.
“Yeah, well, a man has to make sacrifices for the greater good.”
I laughed. “Fucking me was for the greater good?”
“No, that was for me.” He pulled me into his arms. “I figure making sure you get some rest is for everyone else.”
I shivered slightly as he ran a hand down my back. “I’m normally not so needy.”
“I can see that.”
“Under normal circumstances, I could wear you out in this bed.”
“I’ll be happy to let you try.”
