Chapter 10

Meryl
I was feeling very proud of myself when we arrived at his building. This was going too well and I was on a fast track to earning a self-improvement medal.
Finn’s unit was on the ground floor and I let him go in alone as promised while I walked Poptart around the grassy front area.
Finn came back to let us in pretty quick, and I let PT off of her leash inside the entryway to his apartment so I could survey the space. There were some boxes scattered and nothing on the walls yet, as I’d expected, but I was surprised to see the place almost completely furnished.
“It’s nice,” I murmured as I moved around the living room. Everything was done in different shades of blue, but it tied together well and the couch felt soft. It was better than any other guy”s place that I”d seen, but to be fair, I hadn”t seen many.
“Thanks, you can explore,” he encouraged. So I did. I opened cabinets in the kitchen, I touched throw blankets on the couch, I tested his gaming chair at his desk, I opened drawers in his bathroom, and I saved his bedroom for last.
Finn followed me closely from room to room, lingering just out of reach. The tension between us was palpable. It was like a dance as I flitted around and he matched me step for step. Finn didn’t take his eyes off of me the entire time and I already knew how I wanted this tour to end. His bed was here and it had sheets and blankets on it. Thankfully. It would suit me fine.
“I like your place,” I told him finally as I moved further into his room. I turned to face him as he stepped in closer to me.
“I like you,” he murmured heatedly. I tilted my head up to meet his eyes and he gently cupped my cheek with one hand. I pressed a quick kiss to the inside of his wrist and the sharp inhale of breath I was rewarded with sent my pulse racing. My heart pounded like thunder in my ears as he lowered his face and closed his blue eyes.
I wasn’t prepared for the rush that hit me when his lips captured mine. Lightning struck me and jumped between us, overflowing from my fingertips where I clutched the front of his shirt. I caught fire from it, burning up so suddenly that I gasped into his kiss.
All of the ache and hunger that’d been simmering within me since last night overflowed, fueled the fire and took over. Finn had awakened a blazing need inside of me that had been dormant for too long and was now out of control. I couldn”t contain the series of small moans spilling from my lips. Finn consumed them all.
Need propelled me forward, and I pressed harder against him with a desperate urgency. I needed to touch him, I needed him to touch me, but more than anything I needed his bare skin on mine. I snatched up the bottom hem of my shirt and whipped it over my head as fast as I could. The rough sound that escaped him as his lips devoured mine again dissolved any hesitations that remained in the back of my mind.
Every kiss was more frantic than the last as we fumbled our way closer to the bed. I yanked at his shirt and he took it off to throw it behind us. I hiked up my skirt and then slid my panties off before we collided again. My hands explored his hard chest and ran over his arms. I loved the feel of his bare skin under my trailing fingers.
Finn returned my passion with equal fervor, his own fingers delving into my hair and holding me tight as we fell on top of his bed together. Left in only my skirt and bra, he trailed fiery desperate kisses down my neck and all over my chest. I arched my back at the sensations while his free hand slid down my side until it was under my skirt, climbing my thigh to grip my bare hip.
Then he suddenly lifted me up to put me in his lap, the skirt pushed up around my hips as I straddled his waist. I rocked against him ever so slowly, teasing both of us. The athletic shorts he still had on didn”t hide much and I pressed myself down onto his rock hard erection through the fabric.
Finn looked up at me with so much smoldering heat and hunger that my breath hitched in my throat. Then he was rising up again to devour my mouth while I rocked myself against him, needing the friction so fucking badly. Why were we still wearing so many goddamn clothes? I whimpered as his hand glided upmy heated skin to push my bra aside and cup my bare breast. I reached back to take the whole bra off and give him better access.
The first swipe of his thumb over my nipple had me gasping. Finn groaned and pulled me down against him even tighter. I was barely thinking about anything other than how much I needed his shorts off. Everything felt too good. I was torn by wanting to savor every minute and by being so scorching hot with need that I might explode if I didn’t get more from him right now.
I’d forgotten that I could feel like this. I was completely caught up in him and I loved it. I was already breathing hard, my chest rising and falling above him erratically. Was it possible to actually catch fire from being too worked up? I would have by now if it was.
“Meryl,” Finn muttered as his body shuddered under me.
“Please,” I urged breathlessly. I pushed my palms down on his bare chest to finally lift myself away and I fell carefully to the side of him. Finn shoved the shorts and his boxers down off of his legs and I wiggled out of my skirt so we were both completely bare. He kissed me again, his body pressed tight against mine and I reached out to grab his erection in my hand.
“Meryl,” he hissed again with his eyes closed tight. He was so hot and hard for me. He reached down between us to find me already wet for him. His first stroke of my clit had me seeing stars. I jerked my hips into his touch as he worked me into a fever, but it wasn’t enough. I needed more. Every piece of me was quivering with need. I was burning up with it. I wanted it hard and fast, and I wanted it now.
I gripped him hard in my hand and rolled myself over him to straddle his waist again. This time, there was nothing between us and I used my hand to guide his tip against my entrance. Finn reached up to grab my breast as I slid down onto him. Finally.
His sharp intakes of breath goaded me on as I fully took him in. I went slow, each agonizingly blissful inch at a time. A searing ache of need surged throughout my body as I rocked down against him.
Finn palmed one breast while the other gripped my hip hard, keeping me firmly pressed on him as I slid back and forth. I started slow, each movement sending sparks of pleasure dancing between us. His hips rose up to meet me, driving him deeper inside until I couldn’t take it anymore.
I moaned loud, finding just the right spot, and my movements become frantic as I chased my release. Finn clutched me desperately as I rode him harder, rocking erratically onto him until I was panting from the exertion.
Tension grew in my core until I was suddenly struck with the feeling of it all being too much. I fell off the edge with a groan and a shudder. Finn kept rocking up into me with a tight grip on my hip as I slowed my movements on top of him. I shivered and leaned down to press my lips to his over and over.
Finn slid out of me to flip us both over. I smiled up at him with hooded eyes, feeling satisfied and thoroughly fucked. My whole body felt looser and relaxed, like I’d been tensing every inch of myself without realizing.
“We’re not done yet,” he growled as he lined himself up again and I lifted my hips to meet him.
“Fuck,” he muttered as he slid back into me fully. He pumped into me with long and tortuously slow thrusts. I clutched at his back, his shoulders, his arms, moving with him and gripping him tight. We melted into each other. One rhythm, one breath, one endless wave of pleasure carrying us higher and higher.
My body was burning again too fast as he stoked the fever into an inferno. I clutched at him desperately. I shook my head from side to side as my nerves coiled and burned. I dug my fingers into Finn’s brown hair and he groaned low in his throat just before his thrusts became faster and harder.
I realized he was getting close and I wanted to come with him again before we were done, so I reached down between us with my other hand to stroke my clit feverishly. The bundle of nerves was slick and swollen against my fingers as I worked it until I could feel another orgasm cresting like an oncoming wave.
His wild strokes and small groans helped send me into my second euphoric shattering of pleasure. I convulsed around him, wildly raising my hips and matching his frantic pumping.
Finn groaned and shuddered as he exploded with me. The final surging bliss reverberated through us both for several breaths as we each slowed our movements, shaking bodies collapsing together. Entangled, sweaty, and utterly spent.
Finn lowered himself beside me and kissed me, long and lingering, pulling me close and burying his face into the nape of my neck.
“That was amazing,” he sighed into my hair.
“Mmm,” I agreed lazily. We laid there together for awhile, content and naked.
“Shower?” he offered finally and let me go to scoot off of the bed. It sounded good. We were both sweaty and I needed to clean up.
“Yeah,” I agreed and took his outstretched hand so he could help me up. Finn’s naked body was impressive and I took a second to admire him as I followed him into the bathroom. I especially liked the muscles in his back and the way he flexed his arms as he stretched. A quick glance in his bathroom mirror told me my hair was a mess and my cheeks were flushed.
“I don’t normally do this,” I told him hesitantly as we waited for the water in the shower to get hot.
“Okay,” Finn eyed me curiously. His gaze lingered on my lips, but traveled down my body once before coming back to my face. I smirked slightly at the appreciative gleam in his blue eyes. What had I been trying to say?
“Like ever,” I added firmly, remembering the point I wanted to make.
“I know that. Even if you did, I don’t care. It doesn’t matter,” he shrugged.
“No, not like that,” I looked down at my feet, feeling a little unsure and all kinds of self-conscious now. It felt like emotional whiplash.
“What is it?” he asked gently and wrapped his arms around me. He was so warm. I leaned into him and sighed softly against his skin.
“I’m trying to say this is important to me, and that it means something,” I whispered into his chest. It was one thing to be physically attracted to each other and to have great sex together, but it was different to commit to a person as a whole.
“It means something to me too. I don’t do casual,” he said sincerely.
“Good,” I sighed in relief. One of his big hands found my chin and lifted my face so he could lean down and kiss me. It was sweet and reassuring. Then he let me go and we stepped under the water together.
There wasn’t a lot of extra room in the shower, but we did our best to get soaped up and I untangled my hair as best as I could. Finn had too many muscles and his skin was hot under my hands. I pressed my front into his back and breathed deeply against his shoulder blade.
“You okay?” he asked me. I liked the concern in his voice, but I was fine. More than fine. His heated skin on mine had me aching again. I’d been starved of this for too long.
“No,” I answered solemnly. I rested my forehead into his back.
“No?” Finn said, his tone light and teasing. He must’ve heard something in my voice that gave me away.
“I want more,” I whispered huskily and nibbled at the skin of his shoulder. I slid one hand around his waist and gripped his dick as I pressed my hard nipples into his back.
“I think I can help you with that,” he nodded though I couldn’t see his face. I let him bend me over under the hot water and fuck me until the water turned cold and we had to clean up all over again.
