Chapter Seventeen
TALLY
I think that is the hardest I’ve ever come.
My head is still fuzzy with post-sex pleasure. Cyrus is so soft beneath me, even with all that muscle, her skin is soft against mine. I could easily fall asleep like this, even if I have only just woken up.
Her arms wrap around me, pulling me in tighter and I melt.
If only we could stay like this. I know once we stand up, she’ll act like this never happened and go back to ignoring my existence until she needs me again. Keep all this her dirty little secret until she’s ready for more sex.
I’ll enjoy what I can get, but I’m becoming obsessed a lot quicker than I ever thought I would. It probably doesn’t help that I've been mildly enthralled with her for years. Now I just happen to know how she feels in my hands, the taste of her and how she looks when she shatters for me.
My breathing slowly returns to normal but I don’t move yet, soaking up this moment for a little longer.
Then Cyrus clears her throat.
“We need to keep this a secret.”
I roll my eyes even though she can’t see. “Oh darn, I was going to shout it from the roof top.”
She smacks my arse with a light chuckle. “Shut up and let me finish. I was going to say we keep this a secret, but if you wanted we could… for the remainder of my stay here… keep doing this?”
She’s quiet as she speaks, almost unsure of herself or if she’s asking the right thing. Whereas my heart stops.
There isn’t anything I want more than to continue doing this. Fucking her at night, cuddling up to sleep and waking to more fucking. But there’s one huge thing that could go wrong.
I’m going to fall for her and then she’ll leave.
I don’t say anything for a second as I think, but Cyrus takes that as an excuse to continue.
“We keep it a secret, but we can meet up and not feel guilty about it. I like this, and it’s nice to not be the one in control all the time. It could be fun… if you wanted.”
I giggle. If you’d asked me who out of the two of us would proposition the other with a secret tryst, I’d have put money on it being me. But Cyrus’s stumbling is adorable. Even knowing this is likely going to ruin me, I can’t help but say, “Yes.”
Now I just need to remember that this is just sex and not to go falling in love with this woman.
