Chapter 10
Eve
“Wow.”I barely recognized my voice. “That was amazing.”
“Amazing is better than good, right?”
“I believe it is.”
The corner of Max’s mouth curled up at my words, but his smile looked strained. And I totally get it. Even after that amazing orgasm, I’m still a little on edge.
Shifting back, I rested against the pillows and held out my arms. Max’s cock bobbed against his stomach as he crawled toward me. Before he reached me, his eyes widened and he shifted then reached over to retrieve a foil packet from the drawer of the bedside table. I watched as he ripped it open and rolled the condom down his impressive length.
My heartbeat had just returned to normal, but it pounded again when Max settled between my thighs. I haven’t been in this position with anyone besides my ex-husband so it should feel strange or awkward, but that’s not the case. It feels oh so right.
He locked his gaze to mine then pressed forward. It’s been a long time for me and at first my body resisted the intrusion, but he was patient and inch by slow inch, he slipped inside. Closing my eyes, I let out a breath once we were completely joined.
Max kissed my forehead, the tip of my nose, and my mouth.
“You doing okay?”
I opened my eyes and met his concerned gaze.
“I’m wonderful.”
He kissed me again then slowly pulled out then pushed back in. Then did it again and again, picking up the pace each time, until he settled into a steady rhythm designed to make me lose my mind. Pressing my feet against the mattress, I pushed my hips up, meeting his every thrust.
“Eve, you feel so amazing.”
His hands cupped my ass and tilted my hips. Wanting to feel more, needing to feel more, I wrapped my legs around his waist and he sank even deeper. Max picked up the pace and I got sucked into the sensation. I didn’t think it could get any better, but he proved me wrong.
“Hold on.”
I barely processed those two words when he tightened his grip on my ass and rolled, putting his back against the bed with me on top, straddling his hips. I thought he’d been deep before, but this position made me sink down until he filled me completely.
Resting my hands against his chest, I rose up on my knees then moved back down. I did that until my thighs threatened to cramp then settled into a forward and back motion. Max reached up and cupped my breasts, flicking his thumbs over my nipples again and again, sending a zing of sensation right to my clit. My inner muscles clenched and tightened around him and I picked up the pace.
“Max.”
He sat and wrapped his hands around my hips, helping me keep a steady rhythm as his mouth opened over my breast. Moving back and forth, he nipped, licked, and sucked. Pleasure radiated between my nipples and my pussy and I moved faster and faster, then shifted my hips to grind my clit against him.
That did it.
I let out a long, hoarse moan as I came for the second time. Max thrust up into me and let out his own shout before resting back against the pillows and pulling me on top of him. I rested my head against his chest and closed my eyes.
Max
Eve’swarm breath floated over my chest and I loved the feel of her snuggled on top of me. Unfortunately, I need to move and take care of business before things get messy.
“Eve.”
“Hmm?”
I stroked my hands down her back and kissed the top of her head.
“I need to move.”
“Oh my God, I’m sorry.” She jerked up and shifted to slide off me. “I’m probably crushing you.”
“You’re not crushing me.” I held her in place and waited until she looked me in the eye. “I need to go to the bathroom to take care of the condom.”
Her cheeks turned pink and this time when she moved, I let her.
I slipped out of bed, walked across the room to the bathroom, and closed the door behind me. The afterof sex can be a little awkward, especially the first time. Eve was with the same person forever, so I imagine this is even more strange for her.
I’m sure her mind is running a mile a minute right now, so I don’t want to leave her alone too long. I took care of business as quickly as possible, washed my hands, and headed back to bed.
Eve sat against the pillows, her hands holding the blanket in place beneath her chin. She had a slight deer-in-the-headlights look as her gaze met mine.
“Hey.” I slipped into bed next to her. “What’s wrong?”
I shifted under the covers and pulled her into my arms. She rested her head against my chest, but still felt stiff.
“I wasn’t sure what to do. Getting dressed to leave while you were in the bathroom seemed kind of strange, so I got under the covers. But just sitting here, naked, in your bed seemed weird too.”
I kissed the top of her head.
“I like having you naked in my bed.” Just like I’d hoped, she chuckled at my words and relaxed a little. “But seriously, I’m glad you didn’t get dressed to leave.”
“I just don’t want to do anything inappropriate.”
“Like what?”
“I don’t know.” She shrugged. “I don’t even know what’s appropriate now and what’s not. It’s been more than two decades since I did this. Things were a lot different then.”
“Why don’t you just do what feels natural and we’ll take it from there?”
Eve nodded then wrapped her arm around my waist, relaxing a little more. I took that as a good sign. Eventually her breathing slowed and settled into a steady rhythm.
I closed my eyes, unable to wipe the sappy smile from my face. Being with Eve is just…easy. And for the first time in a long time, I want more than just a casual hookup. Hopefully she feels the same. But we can discuss that later, after our nap.
