Brylee
The words catch in my throat, choked by the weight of the longing. How do I express the mix of fear and desire threatening to consume me? I can’t let him walk away.
“Can I see you again?” he asks, taking the plunge for both of us.
The idea of spending more time with him makes my heart race. Our hands meet, acknowledging each other without words. “Y-yes,” I stammer, body trembling. “I’d like that.”
“Good,” Leo smiles, relief clear in his voice. “I want to explore... whatever this is between us still.”
“So do I, but we need to be careful. We’ve both been hurt, and I don’t want our pasts to dictate our future.”
“I understand.” His thumb gently caresses my cheek. “We’ll take it slow and see where this leads us. No pressure, no expectations.”
“Promise?”
“Promise.”
In a moment of recklessness, I ignore all inhibitions and kiss him. My brain seems to have stopped functioning. Using my right hand, I unlock my front door, and Leo sweeps me up in his arms, never breaking the kiss. His enhanced strength will prove beneficial for tonight’s events. He nibbles on my bottom lip, and does circles on my arm. The heat of his touch invades my senses and I remember just how good we used to be together.
“Thought we were taking things slow, princess?” he says, grinning and sneaking another kiss in. “Seems like this is quite the opposite.”
Without uttering a word, I lock gazes with him and kneel down, gradually unfastening his belt and pants, until his boxers are exposed at his ankles. As I take him into my mouth, his eyes are fixed on me. I take him deeper into my mouth, feeling his hardness against the roof of my mouth as I suck on him. His hips buck, pressing further into my face as I run my tongue along his length. The taste of him is intoxicating.
Meanwhile, Leo’s hands tangle in my hair, massaging my scalp. He groans, as he leans back. His hands grip tighter in my hair now, not in pain but rather encouragement. The noises he makes fuel the fire within me, pushing me to take more of him into my mouth until his thighs begin to quiver. I look up at him through hooded eyes as I take him all the way before slowly pulling back up again.
There are moments when I desire control, and moments when I yearn to be overpowered.
“You are enjoying yourself, princess, but my knees are about to buckle and I’d really like to taste you.”
His words immediately make me drip. Holy fucking hell. I missed the way he talks to me in private. “Then get your ass to work.”
I rise to my feet, and he effortlessly hoists me over his shoulder, leading us straight to the kitchen island.
Leo chuckles as he watches me climb up on the kitchen island, his eyes glinting with hunger. “Mmm, yes…” he murmured, running his hands up my thighs. He leans in and pressed a lingering kiss against my neck before trailing his lips down to where my pulse is pounding. His teeth nip gently at my flesh, sending shivers of delight down my spine. As he parts my legs, I arch into the touch, moaning. Leo takes me in his mouth, his tongue flicking and circling around my clit with expert precision. I grip the edge of the countertop, trying to steady myself against the onslaught of sensations that course through me.
Fuck, I’ve missed this… him…
By adding two fingers and arching them, he hits the spot, causing me to squeal. To this day, he has been the only man to make me squirt. Walking away from him is like chasing a high that I can’t shake off. “Please fucking do it. I need it so fucking bad!”
The pressure of his fingers and the bite on my inner thigh signal its impending arrival. The surge of endorphins flows through me until his mouth consumes me.
“That’s my good girl.”
His other hand finds its way to my breast, teasing at the sensitive nipple while his mouth continues to work its magic on my most sensitive spot. My body thrums with need under his skilled touch, making me forget all about our conversation from earlier. We are definitely not taking things slow, but he better not stop. I need him inside me like now.
Soon enough, I get closer to the edge. I try to warn him but can’t find the words, only managing a soft whimper that escapes from between clenched teeth. The world blurs around me as I lose myself. Leo groans, pulling away.
“You taste so good,” he says, hoarsely, licking his lips as he stands up straight.
Instead of leaving me to ride out the aftershock, he lifts me up, his hands firmly gripping both of my ass cheeks, and presses against the kitchen counter, he slowly and carefully lowers me onto his dick. I hold onto him, understanding that the night is going to be a marathon. I’ve never been able to get enough of him and now we are right back where we left off sexually. No matter how many fights or disagreements we have had, sex has been our constant.
I dig my nails into Leo's shoulders. He growls in delight, throwing his head back and crashing our lips together. Every thrust sends a shockwave through my core, and I moan into the kiss. I bite my lip, feeling something stir within me. The way he gawks at me, the way his hands move, the way he touches…it is electric.
Leo pounds into me with a newfound urgency. I cling to him as he takes me on a ride I am not sure I'd survive. We go at it like animals, throwing caution to the wind as we explore each other's bodies with a hunger that burns hotter than anything I’ve ever known. It’s been too long.
His teeth grazes my neck, leaving sharp little marks that send shivers down my spine as he thrusts deeper into me. “Fuck,” I gasp out between moans. “Leo…”
Leo's tongue traces the seam of my lips, and I eagerly open to taste him as he slips inside. Our tongues tangle in a deep, passionate kiss, his lips soft and demanding.
He growls, his movements becoming even more forceful. His sweat drips onto my skin, mixing with mine as we become one in that moment. Every time he pulls out of me just to drive back in again, is like heaven on earth—like nothing else matters but this primal connection we share. And when he finally gives in to his own desires… It is everything I need.
His hands roam across my back, leaving a trail of goosebumps in their wake, and with a swift thrust, he pierces through me again. He groans low in his throat, his hips rolling against mine. I bite my lip to stifle the moans escaping and close my eyes, savoring the feel of him inside me.
The friction grows intense as he picks up speed, his breathing labored against my ear. "You feel so good," he whispers, nipping at my neck before continuing his relentless assault on my body with long deep strokes. I arch into him, begging for more as we move together like a well-oiled machine fueled by lust and desire.
His hips buck wildly, driving himself deeper inside me with each thrust. My eyes roll back in my head as I start to lose control. The sweet ache between my legs intensifies until finally...
"Ahhhh!" A high-pitched scream pierces from my throat as I fall apart beneath him.
Our climaxes hit at the same time: mine is a screaming orgasm that shakes my body from head to toe; his is a deep groan that vibrates through me as he holds onto me tightly and lets go deep inside me. We collapse onto the bed together in a tangle of limbs. His stamina is off the fucking charts, and I am grateful. I haven’t been so thoroughly fucked in years and the exhaustion is starting to set in.
“You okay, princess?” he asks, running his thumb down my bare back while I listen to his heartbeat.
I’ll never stop loving that nickname. “After that? How am I ever going to sleep with you around?” I smile and lift my head to kiss him.
“That’s the best compliment I’ve ever gotten.” He leans his head back on the pillow and closes his eyes.
Sleep is elusive as my mind continues to race. Coming back to Lawson Ridge is the right call, but is jumping back into things with Leo the right move?
