RHODES
T he tears in her eyes that have been threatening to fall finally do. I wipe them away before leaning in and pressing my lips to the wet trail they left behind.
“You trust me?” I ask, and she nods. “Then you let me worry about everything from now on. You’ve carried this burden by yourself long enough, and it’s time to let me carry it for you.”
“I’m not sure I know how.” She gives me a soft smile.
“You’ve already started by telling me and letting me keep you safe.
” I brush away another tear and press a kiss to her lips.
“Have you ever let anyone keep you safe before?” She shakes her head.
“And you haven’t told anyone else this story, have you?
” She shakes her head again. “See, you’re already taking some of the weight off. ”
“I feel bad about it, though. You’re such a sweet man who has done so much for me. It’s not fair that I come in here and?—”
“And what? Make my life better?” I grin at her, and she huffs a laugh.
“That’s not what I meant.”
“But it’s what’s happening.” Her soft brown eyes look up at me tenderly.
“You can see the worst in people because it’s what you’ve been shown.
Meanwhile, I can spot a pure heart a mile away because I’ve known people with bad intentions.
When I look at you, I don’t see a burden.
I see someone who hasn’t had the same advantages as everyone around her.
I see someone who wasn’t protected by the people that loved her.
I see a woman who is strong, and determined, and against all odds, is still fighting. ”
“You do?” Her sweet voice is so hopeful it almost breaks my heart.
“I do.” I nod. “And I’m willing to do anything to protect that.”
“How are you real?”
“I ask myself the same thing about you.” I grin at her. “I keep thinking that one day I’m going to wake up and you’re going to have been a dream.”
Her hands come up to my chest, and I pull her closer. “Then I guess it’s okay to admit you’ve been featuring in my dreams lately.”
“Oh really?” I slide one hand around her waist and brush my lips against hers. “Anything you care to share?”
“Maybe not with the lights on,” she teases.
“What you’re saying is I need to add voice-activated lights to the shopping list.” Her squeal of laughter turns to a moan as I drag her across my lap and deepen the kiss.
Her body fits perfectly against mine as my hands go to her ass and my fingers grip her soft curves. When her lips part and her tongue slides against mine, I moan into her mouth. Her hips rock forward at the same time, and it’s like she can’t help it.
“Rhodes,” she breathes, and it sends a hot shiver of pleasure straight to my cock.
“Easy, sweetness.” I grip her hips to slow her down even though I’d love for her to speed up. “I don’t want to take too much.”
“Take it all.” Her lips move to my neck, and I grunt at how fucking good it feels.
“I, um, didn’t plan for this.” Her body stills, and then she tries to back up.
“If you want to stop, it’s fine?—”
“No!” I shout and then shake my head. “No, I meant that I don’t have condoms.”
“Oh.” Heat flushes her cheeks, but she softens into me again. “I didn’t think about that either.”
“I’ve never had sex,” I blurt out, and her eyes widen in surprise. “Sorry, I thought you should know. I mean, I wanted you to know.”
“I’ve never had sex either.” She bites her bottom lip as she rocks her hips again.
My god, I’m going to cum in my pants if she keeps that up. Who am I kidding? I could cum in my pants just looking at her.
I put my hand on the back of her neck and kiss her like I’ve just broken out of prison.
She moans as her legs tighten around me, trying to get as close as possible.
Then I feel her tugging on the buttons of my shirt, and I help her get it off.
Once I’m bare chested, her hands are there, touching every bit of exposed skin.
“I need to feel your tits on me.” The words are out of my mouth before I can think them through, but Quinn doesn’t seem to mind. If anything, it sends her into action.
She practically rips off her top and tosses it on the floor next to mine as I reach for her bra. Once her nipples brush against my bare chest, my mouth waters with the need to taste them.
“Fuck, let me suck them.”
“Yes,” she hisses as my mouth latches on to one.
Her pussy rocks against my dick, and I’ve never been so hard in my goddamn life. It’s painful how I’m stuffed into my jeans, and I don’t know how much longer I can keep them buttoned.
As if reading my mind, her fingers go to my belt, and she flips it open. My mouth moves from one nipple to the next while she fiddles with the buttons on my jeans. I don’t help her, though. I let her take her time while I focus on the most perfect set of tits I’ve ever seen.
“Holy shit,” she says when my cock springs out of my jeans like a jack-in-the-box. It would be funny if I wasn’t so hard. “And you walk around all day with that thing between your legs? How is your back not sore?”
“It’s only this big when I’m near you.” I grin around her nipple, and she arches closer. “Or when I’m thinking about you.” I hiss as her hands wrap around my girth. “So pretty much all the time since I first saw you.”
“Sounds painful.” Her thumb slides over the slick tip of my cock, spreading the precum.
“Only when I can’t jerk off.”
“When was the last time?” Her soft brown eyes meet mine, and her fingers tighten around my length.
“This morning, when I was in the shower. Seeing you in the morning, all soft and sleepy.” I shake my head. “Almost came right then.”
“I’d like to see that,” she says, sliding her hands up and down.
“You’d like to see me cum?” I ask, and she nods. “Only if I can see you cum too.”
“Well, that seems only fair.”
I sit back on the couch and tug at the button of her jeans. “Take these off.”
My eyes don’t leave her as she stands up and shimmies out of her jeans but leaves her panties on. When she straddles me again, my hands go to her hips, and I play with the edge of the simple cotton.
“Hands on me, sweetness. You’re going to make me cum.” Her fingers wrap around my cock. “Grip it tight, just like your pussy is going to.”
“Oh shit.” She swallows hard but doesn’t seem to mind the dirty talk.
“Look how wet you are.” My thumb traces down the center of her body over the cotton of her panties. “Completely soaked.”
“Rhodes,” she whimpers and squeezes her eyes shut.
“Up and down, sweetness. You have to milk it out.” My thumb hooks into her panties and pulls them to the side. “Think about when I’m inside you and you cum. How you’ll clench and massage my cock.”
She gasps when I slide two fingers between her pussy lips and over her clit. She’s dripping onto me as I go back and forth, teasing her opening.
“This right here,” I say as I tease her hot little entrance. “Imagine my cum going right here.”
“Shit, don’t stop.” Her hips falter and jerk as I rub the heel of my hand against her clit. When her orgasm hits, I push my two fingers into her all at once, and she screams my name.
Her hands grip my cock almost as tightly at her cunt, and I have no choice but to go over the edge with her. Long ropes of cum spurt onto my stomach as she jerks me to completion.
I watch every wave of pleasure as it washes over her and kiss every bit of skin I can reach. Once she’s completely wrung out, I slip my fingers out of her and lick them clean.
“What was that?” Quinn is breathing heavily as she looks at me like she’s seeing color for the first time.
“The first of many,” I growl before I toss her over my shoulder.
Her squeals of laughter echo off the walls as I carry her straight to the bedroom.
