Chapter 144 (2/2)

“Only once,” she lies again.

“That’s too bad.” I completely pull away from her.

“Three times, okay?” Tessa admits, embarrassment clear in her voice.

“What were you thinking about? What was it that made you come?” I ask with a smirk.

“You, only you.” Her eyes are hopeful, needy.

Her admission thrills me, and I want to please her now more than ever before. I know that I can make her come in less than a minute using only my tongue, but I don’t want that. With one last kiss to the apex of her thighs, I pull away and stand. Tessa is completely naked, and the mirrors . . . fuck, the mirrors reflect her perfect body all around me, multiplying those luscious curves of hers ten-fold. Her smooth skin surrounds me, making me tug my shorts and boxers down to my ankles with only one hand. I begin to pull at the tape wrapped around my knuckles, but her hand quickly darts out to stop me.

“No, leave it,” Tessa requests, a flicker of darker lust sparking in her eyes. So she likes the tape . . . or maybe watching me work out . . . or the mirrors . . .

I do as she says and press my body against hers, my mouth claiming hers, and I pull her down to the padded floor with me.

Her hands run across my bare chest, and her eyes darken to a smoky gray. “Your body is different now.”

“I’ve only been working out for a week.” I roll her naked body so that’s she pinned underneath mine.

“But I can tell . . .” Her tongue runs across her full lips so slowly that I don’t hesitate to press myself against her, letting her know just how fucking hard I am. She’s so smooth and so goddamn wet against me, one small movement, and I’ll finally be inside her.

Then it hits me.

“I don’t have a fucking condom in here,” I curse and bury my face in her shoulder.

She lets out a frustrated groan but presses her nails into me, pulling me closer. “I need you,” she moans, flicking her tongue across my mouth.

I press against the warm, soaked flesh and slowly fill her.

“But . . .” I begin to try to remind her of the risks, but her eyes flutter closed, and sensation overwhelms me as I flex my hips to get deeper, as deep inside her as I possibly can.
