And she found herself wetting her dry lips with her tongue while she watched him. Without warning, Elijah parted her legs wide open and stared at her hole, making her blush crazily.
She was wet.
It was her first time. And having someone watching her closely like that, was beyond all the embarrassment she had experienced before.
“Fuck!” he cursed in between her legs. She closed her eyes when the tip of his tongue slid along her entrance.
Meredith groaned with pleasure when she felt his finger slide inside her. She was so wet that it slid in easily. He felt so damn good.
But she wanted more.
As if reading her mind, Elijah started rubbing his tongue against her clit, and she shuddered in ecstasy. The feeling he was giving her was new, and it was driving her insane. When he inserted another finger, she heard herself squeaking in pleasure as he continued licking her pussy.
She was dripping, and more than ready for him to satisfy her needs. She thought she was losing her mind. How could she not? His touch was taking her higher and higher. She felt like she was floating on air.
Her fingers ran through his hair, pulling him closer.
“Please,” she begged.
“Yes?”
“Just fucking do it,” she spoke while panting heavily.
Her eyes widened when Elijah stroked his cock a few times before lining himself up in between her legs. She felt a bit scared. She'd heard the first time was painful, and she was worried he was too big for her.
“Please be gentle,” she murmured, biting his bottom lip.
“I thought you wanted me to fuck you?” he said with a smirk.
“It’s…” she whimpered in pleasure as his hands squeezed her breasts, “ It’s my first time,” she said.
Meredith wished she hadn't said anything when Elijah froze. Without a word he climbed off the bed, moving to pick her dress up off the floor.
“Get dressed,” he said.
“What?” She was confused. She wanted him, and she knew he wanted her. They'd finally been about to fuck. And now he was telling her to get dressed?
“Get dressed and go back to your room,” he said patiently, although his tone was icy.
“Seriously?” she grumbled in disbelief, picking up her dress and underwear, feeling mortified more than ever.
She'd been more than ready to lose her virginity to him. And here he was, kicking her out. She felt insulted.
“Let’s not talk about this. See yourself out,” he said without looking at her.
With that, Elijah locked himself in the bathroom, leaving her speechless. She was mad.
Mad as hell.
She must have been out of her mind to think she’d lose her virginity with him.
No way!
Chapter Eighteen
After checking in to their hotel in Texas, Eli immediately headed for a meeting with his speechwriters. But as much as he wanted to focus, his mind constantly wandered to thoughts of Meredith. Mostly of the moment they'd shared in his hotel room.
He'd never imagined she was still a virgin.
And he hadn't expected her to be willing to give it up to him.
Part of him was flattered. But a larger part, for some reason, was scared. Touching her would mean he'd have to take responsibility for whatever happened next. And he wasn't sure he was ready for something like that.
But damn! A woman in her twenties, still a virgin? Dude, that’s rare, he thought, making him shake his head.
Meredith herself was rare. He must have been out of his mind for turning her down.
But if he'd had sex with her that night, it would have been his first time taking a woman's virginity. He'd never slept with a virgin before. He wondered what it would be like.
Just the idea of how incredibly tight she must be started to make his dick hard.
Fuck.
“Are you okay?” Lea asked, looking concerned. She was his head speechwriter.
“Yeah,” he answered, wiping away cold beads of sweat from his forehead.
“You can leave everything to us, Elijah. Don’t worry too much. Get some rest. You’re looking a bit pale,” Lea said, looking worried.
“Are you sure?” he asked.
“Yep! I'll call you if we need anything,” she answered. He shot her a grateful smile.
Relieved, he headed back to his room, fully intending to get some sleep. Everything had been so hectic lately, and he'd been getting less sleep than normal.
But when he passed by Meredith's room, he was knocking on her door before he could reconsider what a terrible idea this was. He just wanted to see her face. When the door swung open moments later, he found himself stunned into silence.
Meredith was wearing a pink tank top and denim shorts. She wasn't wearing any makeup, and she looked like she'd just finished drying her hair. Even like this, he found her incredibly beautiful.
“Hi,” he said stiffly, feeling awkward.
They hadn't talked since that night – he'd suspected she'd been avoiding him. He felt like a giant asshole for the way he'd treated her.
“Hi,” she answered, lowering her head as her cheeks grew tomato red.
“Do you want to get something to eat?” he asked, thinking he could have done better than that.
She blinked.
“I don’t think that’s a good idea,” she said hesitantly.
“Relax. Everyone will come with us. It'll be a group outing,” he responded, disappointed by this turn of events. He hadn't really thought this through at all. And of course he wanted to be alone with her. But he didn't have a choice.
Being seen alone together would only prompt rumors.
“Fine,” she said, then shut the door in his face. Well, at least she'd agreed, so that was something at least.
Heading down to the hotel lobby, Elijah called Sosie and instructed her to make the necessary arrangements. Sosie sounded irritated, but did as he asked.
It didn't take long before everyone was gathered in the lobby. Meredith was now wearing a pair of jeans and a white shirt, but she still looked stunning as usual. Sosie was running late, and texted him to say to go ahead without her, but to save her a seat next to him.
The only place able to accommodate their group on such short notice was more casual than he'd had in mind, serving mostly fried foods and cheap beer. No one seemed to mind though, and Eli was more than happy to sit next to Meredith.
When the food was served, he thought Meredith would politely decline. But to his surprise, she was one of the first to dig in.
“Sorry I'm late you guys,” he heard Sosie say behind him. “I had some things to wrap up,” she added, trying to pull up a chair between him and Meredith.
It didn't escape Eli's notice when Sosie grimaced after seeing the assortment of fried foods on the table. Like Meredith, Sosie came from an obscenely wealthy family. But she was acting like she'd rather drop dead than eat any of this food.
“I never thought you'd like this kind of food, Miss Fields,” Sosie said in a loud voice, drawing everyone's attention to Meredith.
“Oh? How come?” Meredith asked cautiously.
“Because you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth,” Sosie said, and everyone stopped to stare. “I just assumed you only ate foods prepared by your own personal chef.”
