“Lay back,” he said, his voice gravely and sexy as hell. I did as I was told.
He kissed my inner thighs once more as his fingers danced across my abdomen. And then his lips pressed to my most sensitive spot. My back arched in response as he kissed and caressed me, sending shots of pleasure through me again and again. Never had a man touched me so expertly in this way.
“Oh my God,” I moaned. He gripped my thighs and persisted, driving me wild with every lick, every stroke, and every kiss. He read my body so well, knowing exactly when to change the pace and when to continue. Pleasure built within me as I moved beneath him. We moved in sync with one another as I climbed toward orgasm. As I teetered at the edge, Dev pulled away.
“Why did you stop?” I asked, panting, pushing up on my elbows and locking eyes with him.
“Tell me what you want.”
“You,” I moaned. “Oh my God, you. Make me come, Dev. Please.”
He returned his attention to the apex of my thighs and that was all it took. Within seconds, I approached my release, and my fingers gripped his hair. I pulled…probably a bit too hard.
“Don’t stop, Dev. Holy helllllll!”
My orgasm ripped through me and I screamed, bucking against my bed, feeling like I was floating on a cloud. My breath was ragged as I came back to Earth…ever so slowly.
“Holy shit. I’m so sorry!”
Dev kissed his way up my bare belly before resurfacing. “Sorry for what?”
“For pulling your hair. Are you okay?”
“Are you kidding? That was the sexiest thing you’ve ever done. You’re aggressive. I like it.”
“I’ve never done that before. I just… I couldn’t help myself. You’re really, um…you’re really good at that. Like the best I’ve ever had.”
“Well, thanks,” he said, placing a gentle kiss on my lips. “I do my best.”
I wrapped my arms around his back, pulling him closer. “I want to make you feel as good as you made me feel.”
“I’m all yours, Khaleesi.”
That nickname was all it took to awaken the aggressive side of me. Pulling myself up, I pushed him down, so he was lying on the bed. Placing kisses against his muscular chest, I kissed my way down to just below his belly button before unbuttoning his pants, pulling them down to reveal his boxer briefs below. He hissed as I pulled off his pants and gripped him through the thin layer of cotton. I pulled at the waistband and yanked them off, tossing them on top of his jeans. He was hard, he was ready.
“Impressive,” I said, gripping him in my hand. Stroking him gently, I reached down to cup him, and he clenched his teeth, breathing in.
“Don’t stop.”
“Oh, don’t worry,” I said, leaning down to take him into my mouth.
“Oh shit,” he said as he gripped my hair with his hand. “Oh God, Lyra.”
Again and again, I stroked him as I massaged him with my other hand. And then, just like he did, I stopped. Only this time, he didn’t give me a chance to tease him. With a feral growl, he sat up, reaching for me and flipping me back to the mattress.
“You’re the sexiest woman alive,” he whispered before kissing me passionately. He kissed my lips, my cheeks, my neck. It felt like he wanted to consume every inch of my body.
“Do you have a condom?” I asked, ready for him and knowing he was ready too.
“Oh shit, I don’t.”
“Hold on,” I said, rolling to reach the drawer for my nightstand. Pulling a foil packet from the drawer, I held it out for him.
“Easy access, huh?”
“Do you really want to give me shit right now?”
Dev laughed. “Good point.”
Within seconds, Dev had ripped the packet open and I’d rolled it onto him. He shivered at my touch and kissed me hard. His tongue stroked mine as his fingers explored my breasts. My nipples rose to meet his soft fingertips. He pinched them slightly and stroked them gently. Arousal built within me once again.
“I want you,” I whispered. “Now.”
Dev eased himself into me and I moaned beneath him, wrapping my legs around his waist and thrusting myself toward him. His thrusts started slowly and picked up speed as we moved together, completely in sync as I matched his movements with my own. My hands clutched the strong muscles of his back as I pulled him closer. Dev’s breath was ragged as he kissed my neck, my lips, my shoulders.
Pleasure built within me once more as I felt myself climbing toward another orgasm. I thrust my hips against him, again and again until I fell apart, crying out into the warm air of my apartment. Dev pressed his forehead against mine as he found his release. He moaned loudly, then cried out my name.
“Holy shit,” he said. “I just…holy shit.”
“I know,” I said before kissing him gently. He cupped my face with his hands and deepen the kiss, his tongue stroking mine lovingly as he smoothed down my disheveled hair.
“That’s never happened, by the way.”
“What?” he asked, still in a daze as his eyes locked with mine.
“I’ve never had orgasms like that. Like, back to back,” I said with a shrug. “That’s new to me.”
“Really?”
“Yeah. I didn’t know it was possible, in fact.”
“Wow,” Dev said as he flipped to his back, staring up at the ceiling, still catching his breath. “I guess I bring out the best in you, huh? I mean, I knew I was good, but…”
I nudged him, rolling my eyes. “Don’t say another word. You’ll ruin it.”
“Whatever you say, Khaleesi.”
“That’s better.”
“At the risk of getting in trouble for speaking, I just need to tell you…”
“What?”
“That was amazing. You. You’re amazing.”
“Thank you.” I smiled.
“It’s how I always imagined it would be.”
“You imagined this?”
“C’mon, I’ve wanted you since we first met. You know that.” He swallowed hard, and I knew he was being vulnerable, showing me his heart. It was time for me to show him mine.
“It’s my fault we took so long to get here,” I said. “I’m a little stubborn…if you haven’t noticed.”
“Nope, never noticed that. Not ever.”
“You’re a smart man,” I said with a wink, pulling him in for another kiss.
“Some would say I’m brilliant,” he replied.
“Don’t push it.”
He leaned over and kissed me on my forehead, dragging the back of his hand down the side of my face as we gazed at each other. His gentle touch warmed my heart. I placed my arm on his chest and he took my hand in his. He lifted my hand to his mouth and kissed my palm before pressing it to his chest.
We fell asleep in each other’s arms.

DEV
“What the hell are you listening to?” Peter asked, sitting at my breakfast bar. We’d just come back from our run and I was still streaming Keith Urban, even after five miles. I’d yanked out my headphones and his country twang bounced around the room.
