She throws her head back, slipping her fingers between her legs and rubbing her clit frantically as she moves faster,harder—and I grit my teeth, trying to keep the urge to come at bay. It seems fucking impossible with how good she feels, but I want to see her lose control first. I want to feel her coming on me, in mybed. I want to imprint that image on the back of my eyelids so I can revisit it whenever I want. I’m moving with her as well as I can, straining every muscle in my body to meet her thrust for thrust as wild, untethered sounds fill my bedroom, so many that I can’t be sure which ones come from her and which come from me.

“Ezra,” she gasps, digging her nails into my skin. “Ezra.”

“Come for me, baby,” I urge her breathily. “Come all over me.”

“Ah.”

She’s trembling everywhere; her thighs are shaking and her body is drawn tight, and there is a gush that makes everything hotter,wetter—her pussy cinching around me so tight that it’s involuntary, the way I follow her. I come with a shout, my hips bowing from the bed and lifting her with me as I grind against her hard, trying to get as deep as possible as I empty myself inside her still-quivering heat.

There are stars in my eyes when I settle back into the sheets, feeling boneless and spent. Dani must feel something similar; she drapes herself over me, allowing me to wrap my arms around her and hold her close even while I’m still half-inside her. I leave lazy kisses all over the side of her face; even being this close to her, it’s like I can’t get enough of touching her. Like I need to be connected to her even more than I already am.

I hum against her skin. “Did you pass out?”

“You wish you were that good,” she snorts.

“Me? I was only worried about how…enthusiastic you were.” I’m fully aware she can feel my grin against her cheek. “You must really like me.”

“I will bite you,” she grumbles into my shoulder.

“Mm. Promises, promises.” She moves to shift off me, but I tug her back, keeping her close. “Oh, no,” I chide. “You’re staying right here.”

“You cannot expect us to stay like this all night.”

“Wow, all night? Presumptuous of you.”

“I hate you.”

I chuckle, nibbling at her throat. “No you don’t.”

“I might,” she says with no bite.

“Nope. Besides, I fully intend to keep you here all night.” I run my hand up and down the length of her spine idly. “You’re not nearly as full of me as I’d like you to be.”

“God,” she groans. “You’re going to be insufferable now, aren’t you.”

“Oh, the absolute worst.”

“And here I thought you couldn’tgetany worse.”

“Oh, I’m full of untapped potential, Ms. Pierce. Speaking of untapped potential…”

I reach to give a light smack to the soft swell of her backside, and she huffs out an amused sound.

“I think most would say that’s been thoroughly tapped,” she scoffs.

I push my fingers through her now-tangled hair, cradling her head and forcing it up so that she has to look at me. Her features are lax and sated, and to my surprise, there is a soft smile on her face despite all her grousing. She’s so fucking stunning. All of her. I wonder how I ever thought I would be able to be just casual with someone like Dani. She’s the kind of person who leaves a mark, an impression that never really fades, and she’s marked me up good.

Not that I’m complaining.

I lift my head, brushing my lips against hers briefly before leaning back to rest against the bed once more. “Tell me you’ll stay the night.”

I don’t miss the flicker of indecision in her eyes, but I imagine it will take more than one good night to chase away all of Dani’s fight-or-flight instincts. I’m happy to wait as long as it takes.

“I’ll stay,” she says finally, quietly.

“Good.” I beam up at her. “I told you, Dani. I have a whole list of things I’ve wanted to do to you.” I slide my thumb across her lower lip, meeting her gaze. “And I’m nowhere near done with you.”

I have a swelling feeling that I never will be.
