Chapter 30
Liam
Kendall stills at what I’ve said.
“That night we kissed and that photographer saw us and I said you were nothing…” I shake my head, angry with myself for saying it.
“I said that because I didn’t want that paparazzi scumbag to bother you.
They hound me and my teammates and their partners and families too, and if he thought that we were together, then he’d go after you, and I don’t want you having to deal with that.
If you were out with your aunt and that guy harassed you, I’d never forgive myself. ”
She blinks. The softness and understanding is still there in her gorgeous brown eyes.
“It’s okay. I understand now. You were just trying to protect me,” she says softly.
My heartbeat thunders in my chest. “Like I said, I’d do anything to protect you.”
I pull her closer to me. I cup her face in my hand and stroke my thumb along the skin of her cheek. I hold back a groan. She’s so soft.
This is the closest I’ve ever held Kendall. This is the most I’ve ever touched her.
Heat flashes across my entire body. All I want is her.
“I want you, Liam. So bad.”
Her breathy words ignite a fire inside of me. I crash my mouth against hers.
I drive my tongue into her sweet mouth, cupping her face in my hands, desperate to taste her. My head spins as I kiss her. She claws at my shirt, pulling me closer.
Our kiss in the alley the other night was hot as hell, but I thought it would never happen again.
But we finally broke through the years-long tension between us. We hashed out our feelings. We realized that we both like each other—that we’ve wanted each other for years.
My blood pumps hot and my heart thunders in my chest.
Can’t believe I’m kissing her. Can’t believe I’m touching her.
This woman who used to hate me. This woman who I’ve wanted for over a decade.
Kendall moans into my mouth and my dick throbs. Fuck, I love it. I want to listen to her moan over and over.
I reach down and lift her in my arms. She wraps her legs around my waist and I press her against the wall.
She moans again, louder this time. My cock gets even harder.
“Fuck, baby,” I say against her mouth. “I can barely take it when you make that sound.”
She flashes a sexy smile at me. “You like it?”
“I fucking love it.”
I kiss her, and she pulls my hair even harder. The burn in my scalp is heaven. I love how turned on she’s getting. I love that she gets rough when she’s aroused.
She shifts against the ridge of my erection and gasps, breaking our kiss. A shaky breath falls from her mouth as her head rolls back.
I thrust my hips up, pushing into her again.
“Liam,” she whimpers. Her gaze turns pleading as she looks at me.
“Does that feel good, baby? You pressing your pussy against my dick?”
She sinks her teeth into her bottom lip and nods.
“Then do it some more,” I growl.
A naughty smile dances across those gorgeous lips. She presses harder into me and gasps. Pleasure rockets through my cock and up my abdomen. A feral noise rips from my throat.
Fuck. If I’m not careful, I’m gonna come in my pants like a teenager.
I take a slow, steady breath and close my eyes as she works herself along the ridge of my cock, which is now hard as steel. She moans and whimpers. I bury my face along the side of her neck. I run my tongue along her soft skin, savoring the sweet taste of her.
She shivers under my tongue.
“Do you like it when I kiss you here, baby?”
Instead of answering, she whimpers.
I grunt. “No, baby. I need to hear you say it. I need you to tell me what you like. I need this to be good for you.”
I lift my head up and gaze at her. Her mahogany eyes are cloudy with arousal.
“It’s already so good, Liam,” she rasps. “Just grinding on you gets me so hot. I’m so close to coming.”
Her eyes turn shy, almost like she’s embarrassed at what she’s said.
Liquid heat simmers through my body. My cock is concrete hearing her say that.
I gently grip her jaw in my hand and tilt her face to me. “Is my firecracker ready to explode?”
She grins and rolls her eyes. “You and that nickname.”
“It’s perfect for you. You’re fiery, bright, and bold.” I lick my lips and capture her mouth in a kiss.
When we break apart to catch our breath, she holds my gaze. “I’m so close, Liam.”
I push my hips up, pinning her even harder against the wall. “Take what’s yours, baby.”
There’s a fiery flash in her eyes. Kendall digs her fingers into my shoulders and pushes up, riding the ridge of my cock.
She’s panting and whimpering and moaning the more she grinds.
I grit my teeth, pain shooting through the base of my skull.
I need the distraction because I’m about to come.
This is so fucking hot feeling her grind her pussy against me.
Ten seconds later, she comes. She screams as she thrashes against me. Her head falls back and she claws at my shoulders. I hold her in place and watch, mesmerized by the wild way she falls apart when she orgasms.
God, she’s beautiful.
When she starts to come down, I carry her to the bed and lay her down. I stand at the foot of the bed, looking over at her.
She gazes up at me, her face flushed. Her eyes are big and bright, like she’s surprised at what just happened.
I drop to my knees and touch my hands to her thighs, gently pushing her legs apart. I reach up and begin to pull off her jeans.
“You look a little surprised there, firecracker.”
She bites back a shy smile and lifts up her hips as I slide the fabric down her legs.
“That’s never happened before. I’ve never been able to get myself off just by grinding on a guy’s dick.”
I grin as I toss her clothes to the floor. “Is that so?”
She nods. My ego swells. “I feel pretty special then.”
She giggles, then whimpers softly when I run my hand up her smooth, tan leg.
“You are so beautiful.” I rake my gaze along the length of her body. She’s wearing light green cotton panties and a shirt that hugs her perfect tits. Her skin is flushed, half of her hair has come loose from her ponytail, and she looks insanely hot.
My gaze catches on the wet spot in the crotch of her panties. Fuck.
I reach up and run my knuckle gently along the spot. Her eyes flutter.
“I’m dying to taste you. Would that be okay?”
She nods. I reach up and tug at the hem of her shirt. She sits up and I pull it off, leaving her in a lace bra the same color as her panties. My eyes bulge at how her tits are spilling out of the cups.
“I’m gonna need you to take that off, firecracker.”
That shy smile is back. She reaches around, unhooks her bra, and slides it down her arms. My eyes almost bulge out of my head.
“Jesus…” I mutter, shaking my head.
“What?” She says through a shy, soft chuckle.
“You have the most perfect tits I’ve ever seen in my life.”
“Really?”
I lean forward, cup her face in my hand, and kiss her hard.
When we break apart, I hold her gaze. “Really, firecracker. You are absolutely stunning. Now lie down. I’m starving.”
