Chapter 25
DANNY
I leaveher inner thigh with a soft kiss before directing my mouth to her clit once more.
This time when I take her in my mouth, I employ the softest bit of suction. A minute later, Eden’s shouting and thrashing. Her legs give out completely from under her, but I’ve got her. With my hands gripping her hips, I press her against the back of the couch, propping her up as she rides the wave of her orgasm.
When I feel her start to ease, I stand up, taking an extra second since my knees are sore from kneeling.
I straighten up to my full height and steady Eden with a hand on her waist and the other cupping her face. She wobbles slightly before blinking and flashing the most adorable pleasure-drunk smile.
I lean down and lead her in a filthy, sloppy kiss that goes on so long, I lose track of time. By the time I pull back, we’re both panting.
“Danny. Oh my god.”
We laugh as we rest our foreheads against one another. And then she palms the front of my jeans. I groan at the feel of her soft, warm hand cupping the bulge between my legs.
“Show me your bedroom,” she growls into my ear.
I don’t know if I’ve ever cleared ten feet so quickly in my life. I’m pretty sure I leap from the living room to my bedroom while holding Eden’s hand in mine.
She’s giggling as I flip on the light.
“That was fast,” she says as she plops down on the edge of the bed. She bounces up and down with the movement of the mattress. In two seconds flat she sheds her blouse, leaving her in a lace bra the exact color of her panties.
She reaches behind her, like she’s going to unhook her bra, but I stop her.
“No. Let me.”
Once more I’m back on my knees, this time kneeling between her spread-open thighs. I reach around to her back, tracing my fingers along the delicate curve of her spine.
“God, your skin. So fucking soft.”
Her cheeks go pink as she smiles. When I unhook her bra and tug it away, I take in the most perfect pair of tits I’ve ever seen.
“Jesus Christ, Eden.”
And that’s when I see it. A tiny heart right next to the underside of her left breast. It’s so simple: just the outline of a heart in black ink. I run my thumb along the delicate design.
“This is pretty,” I say.
“You think so?”
Instead of answering, I lean down and kiss it. Somehow this skin on this part of Eden’s body is even softer than the rest of her.
I trace my tongue along the tiny, precious heart. With my face this close to her chest, I can hear her heartbeat pick up.
“So you like it,” she says.
“I fucking love it. It’s so delicate and bold.”
Just then she cups both of her hands around my face and turns me to look at her. She looks like she’s about to say something, but then she kisses me. She starts to pull me onto the bed, but I stop.
“Not yet.”
She raises an eyebrow as I yank off my shirt. When her eyes go wide and her smile turns giddy, I feel myself blush. Something about the way she looks at me—like she wants to devour me—drives me wild.
“You’re beautiful,” she says, taking me completely by surprise.
I still as I stand between her legs. “No one’s ever called me that.”
“Really?” She looks shocked.
I nod. “I mean, I’ve been complimented before. I’ve been called hot and handsome, which is really nice. But never beautiful. It feels different. I like it.”
She grins as she reaches up and runs a hand along my stomach before settling at my waistband. When she unbuttons my jeans and pulls down the zipper, I’m aching ten times worse than when I was just a minute ago.
“You’re the hottest, most handsome and beautiful guy I’ve ever seen, Danny.”
She pushes my jeans and boxers down my legs. I step out of them and kick them away, then catch her unblinking gaze on me.
“Whoa…” She stares between my legs. When she licks her lips, my chest swells. Man, what is this? I’ve been with other women who have complimented me. It’s always felt good. But something about the way Eden looks at me is different. It’s like she’s in awe, which is…honestly, it’s fucking awesome. Yeah, I know there are a million more impressive guys out there. Guys who are better looking, more successful, more accomplished, who have more money.
But the way Eden is looking at me right now makes me feel like I’ve got them all beat. Here’s this stunner who’s also a brainiac programmer, and she’s looking at me like she’s never seen anything more incredible.
I rest my hands on my hips as she drags her stare from between my legs up my torso and to my face.
“So. Damn. Beautiful.”
I capture her mouth in mine the second she gets the last syllable out. We’re desperate in our kiss, like our tongues are rabid with desire. I tug off her panties, pulling her by the thighs to the edge of the bed.
“Lie down for me,” I say before reaching over to the drawer of my nightstand and pulling out a condom. I rip it open with my teeth and move to slide it on, but Eden reaches forward and stops me with a hand on my wrist.
“Wait. I want to taste you first.”
She moves to take me in her mouth, but I hold her back with a hand on her shoulder. “Believe me, I want that too. But later. I won’t last long if you do that, and right now I need to be inside of you.”
She nods excitedly as she falls back onto the bed. I chuckle at how she manages to be adorable and sexy all at once. I roll on the condom, pull her to the edge, and line up with her entrance. When I slide in, we let out dual groans.
“Oh my…”
“…fucking god.”
“You feel so big, Danny.”
I have to take a second to calm myself. It’s like she knows exactly what to do and say to get me hotter than I’ve ever been. I swallow, drinking in the gorgeous sight of Eden sprawled out naked on my bed. Her black hair looks like spilled ink against my white bed sheets. Her tan skin is red on her chest and the top of her stomach.
I grin. “I knew it.”
“Knew what?”
“That you blush all over when you’re turned on. I noticed the skin on your chest turns pink a couple times when we’ve hung out—when I thought that maybe you were flirting with me.”
Again she sinks her teeth into the beautifully plump bottom lip. “I’ve always been self-conscious about that,” she says softly.
“Don’t be. It’s hot as fuck.”
I thrust into her, slowly at first. Her eyes roll to the back of her head at the measured rhythm. I catch her fisting my bedsheets, and my head swells at just how good I’m making her feel.
“Danny?” she whines.
“Yeah, baby?”
“I don’t do this.”
“What do you mean?”
“I don’t…I don’t go out on a date with one guy and go home with another.”
“Even if you did do that, that’s perfectly okay.”
It’s a struggle to talk as I slide into and out of Eden. My entire body feels like it’s on fire in the best way. Pleasure builds inside of me, starting at my lower abdomen and spreading higher up my chest. But I don’t care. If Eden wants me to sing her a song while I fuck her, I’ll do it. I’ll do anything for her.
“Wyatt was a great guy. But he wasn’t you,” she rasps before moaning and arching her back.
I’m taken aback at the mention of his name. It’s petty, I know. I’ve got her in my bed and I’m screwing her brains out. Why would the mention of some random guy’s name get to me? There’s a flash inside of me. It feels a bit like anger, but the longer it lingers the more turned on I feel. Damn, what is that? Am I…am I turned on by this flash of jealousy?
The more I think about it, the harder I get, the faster I thrust. Eden seems to notice too because she mutters, “wow” before her moans get louder.
“Forget Wyatt. You’re with me now.” There’s an edge to my tone, but I wink down at her. Eden seems to like this bit of play-jealousy I’m testing out judging by the way the corner of her mouth quirks up.
I grab her ankle and set it on my shoulder, deepening the angle between us. She moans.
“Were you jealous? To see me with another guy?” she pants after a moment.
“Yeah. I was. But who did you end up with?” I lick the pad of my thumb and start to gently tease her clit. That earns a whimper and another moan.
I pull my hand away. “Say it, Eden.”
“You. You, Danny. I always wanted you.”
I return my thumb to its rightful place between her legs and pick up the pace.
“Oh my god, Danny. I’m close. So, so close…”
The pleasure inside of me crests as Eden breaks underneath me. Just like she did before, she’s thrashing and shouting. My spine turns to liquid heat and I’m growling and cursing through my own release.
I collapse on top of her and bury my face in the side of her neck. For the next minute we’re a sweaty, panting pile as we catch our breath. When I lean up to check on her, she grins up at me.
“We need to do that again.”
