“There were plenty of times when I didn’t tell you.”

He chuckled. “I’m sure that’s true.”

His hands roamed up my arms and over my shoulders to my cheeks where he cupped my face. “I’m sorry.”

The magic inside me pulled taut. His touch sent shivers throughout me, tingling my skin and sending goosebumps over my body. The longer we stared at one another, the more intense the pull became until I didn’t want to resist it anymore. I leaned forward, pressing my lips to his. Finally.

It was as if a balloon popped. Restraint was gone. He pulled me closer, deepening the kiss, and I loved every second of his sure lips moving against mine. My body stopped shaking as Travis filled me up. All the while, my magic brimmed at the surface, oozing happily through my veins as it stitched us together. A new tremor shook my body. It was from something way different than magic fraying my nerves. This was from complete and utter pleasure.

Travis pulled a breath away. “My God.”

Sounded about right. My hand snaked around his neck. “You’re sorry you resisted for so long?”

“Am I an asshole if I say yes?”

“Yes,” I said, pulling him toward me again. His lips were like heaven on mine. He took control, burying his tongue in my mouth, taking the breath right out of me. Our relationship had been like drilling a tiny hole in a dam and waiting for the water pressure to break down and crack the rest of it until a big rush of water engulfed us. The little touches, the long looks, all of it was a small crack, another fissure. This was the outcome, the barreling water of us coming together.

I pulled back and reached for the hem of his shirt. He helped me take it off and then I sat back and stared at him. He was beautiful. Hard lines, chiseled. I didn’t hide the fact that I was ogling him. It had been too long until we’d gotten to this point.

He smirked. “My turn.”

He tugged at my shirt, but I slapped his hands away playfully. “You’ve already seen me.”

His jaw hardened. “I know. Too many times without it being my hands on you.”

He reached for the bottom of my shirt. He pulled it over my head and dropped it on top of his. I didn’t give him any time to look, I just plastered myself on him, soaking up the way his body fit to mine. He reached up to cup my breast, and I sighed. “Fuck, Travis.” His cock already strained against me. I pitched my hips over it, feeling its hardness between my legs.

He unhooked my bra, then slid the straps off, revealing my breasts. His gaze locked there as he swallowed. I continued to rub against him as he took one of my nipples in his mouth, showering it with attention while playing with the other. I stared down at him, taking this all in. I was with Travis. Finally. My panties were already coated. “God, Travis, I’m going to need you inside me.”

“I thought that’s what we were doing.”

I pulled on his zipper and yanked his pants down. “I’m going to need it faster.”

His face darkened as he slipped his hands down the front of my jeans. He hooked his fingers under my panties, feeling how wet I was. “I see.”

He rubbed me, and I undid the clasp on my jeans to give him more room. “Travis, please.” I rubbed against his cock while his finger played with my clit. His face was serene, determined. “Damnit. I’m going to come,” I moaned, unable to stop myself from moving against him.

“Again, I thought that’s what we were doing.”

“I want you inside me.”

He ignored me, arching down to draw a nipple into his hot mouth. His finger teased and played with me, egging me on. My whole body shook.

“But—”

“But I’m going to make you come like this, Norah. Then, I’m going to take your pants off and push inside you. But not until you come on my finger.”

God, why did he have to be so hot telling me what to do? And his tongue as he played with my nipple. Son of a bitch. I moaned. “Yes.”

He smirked. The asshole smirked.

“You’re so fucking beautiful. You’re practically dry humping me, you know that?”

“I’d be fucking you, but you’re stubborn.”

His finger moved faster. “And you love it.”

I gripped his shoulders as my orgasm hit. “Fuck yes.”
