“Oh God. Oh jeez. But I didn’t even say it yet.”

“Mm,” he rumbled, “I’m still waitin’ for you to say the words, but I figure I can give you a little taste of what you’ll be missin’ if you don’t tell me what I wanna hear.” He extended one long finger between my pussy lips and breathed deeply as he slipped it inside me.

I wondered if he could sense my desperation, the desperation currently sucking his finger in deeper. Could he sense the wildness trying to talk me into letting this continue? Did he know the agony he’d cause if he pulled his finger away and stopped touching me?

Was I really that beautiful to him, with a five-inch scar down my belly, cellulite everywhere, and?—

He withdrew his finger slowly and smeared the wetness over my clit, and then he began to rub. His eyes never left mine, and even though I wanted to hide and cover my face or close my eyes, I couldn’t.

He had me trapped in his cobalt gaze, but when he replaced his finger with two more, they didn’tfeellike fingers. They felt like?—

“Oh my God.” I gasped. “Oh. My. God. How… how are you… doin’ that?More,” I demanded. “It feels so good. More fingers. More everything.Please.”

Leaning over me, he pressed his lips against mine and whispered, “Not till you tell me.”

His mustache tickled my upper lip and his beard scratched against my chin when I almost sobbed, “What? What do you want me to say?”

“Tell me you want what I can give you.”

“What, your cock?”

“No, although that’s one option, but tell me what it is you wantright now.”

“I want tofuckingcome! I want you to fuck me with your tongue and make me feel so goddamn good that I have no choice but to come. I want it hard and fast. I wanna explode in your mouth.”

“As you wish,” he breathed and tilted his head, his tongue sliding into my open mouth easily.

I closed my lips over his and sucked on them, nibbled them, and opened wider for him while I worried the heat he’d caused inside my body would melt his truck bed and I’d burn with it and cease to exist.

The rhythmic thrusts of his tongue and the way it dueled with mine made the whole bottom half of my body tingle and had me imagining other kinds of thrusting, but the kiss ended way toosoon as he slipped his hand out of my underwear and moved quickly down my body.

Pulling the shoes off my feet and then the jeans from my legs, he caught my high-waisted tummy-control briefs with them, and suddenly, I was bare beneath him.

I didn’t have time to feel self-conscious because he descended, fixed himself firmly between my legs, then hooked them over his impossibly wide shoulders. I felt the soft, well-worn cotton of his T-shirt under my calves as he pumped two fingers inside me again and lapped and sucked at my body like a man dying of thirst.

“Ohmygod. Ohyeah. Ohno. I can’t… I don’t know how to…”

“Let go,” he ordered between licks. “You are so fuckin’ beautiful right now that I can barely breathe. Your body is so sexy. Your voice is gonna make me come in my jeans, and the look in your eyes has me questionin’ the existence of the devil.”

I moaned and whimpered and called out his name as he fucked me with his fingers and mouth. How was it even possible that I felt an orgasm building already? My thighs shook around his head, and I clutched his hair in my hands, rolling my hips again and again.

Anybody could have driven by. Those bitchy, judgy PTA moms. A hiker could have emerged from the forest. Maybe someone had. I wouldn’t have noticed because my entire body felt like it was being lit from within.

I couldn’t think. I couldn’t worry. I could only feel.

For so long, I’d felt like I had disappeared. I was a mom, a daughter, a friend, and a widow, but I hadn’t been beautiful or desirable to anyone. Sometimes, I felt invisible.

Tonight, in Rye’s arms and in his eyes, I had reappeared.

I was unhidden.

“Come for me, Aubrey. Better yet, come for you?—”

The first orgasm had me convinced I’d been right about that heart-attack thing. Was it normal to comethatfast? It made me realize just how deprived I’d been of anything that felt good.

The second made me laugh uncontrollably for five minutes while he kissed every inch of my body, until slowly, he began his delicious ministrations again with those naughty hands between my thighs.

I’d never been so aroused. Cum flowed between my ass cheeks as he fucked me again with his tongue and fingers slowly, swallowing everything I gave him down his throat, moaning wildly and urging me on.
