“Come here,” I say, my words urgent and demanding as she steps toward me. I reach for her at the same time, my arm slipping around her waist as the other goes to the back of her neck, pulling her mouth to mine in a hard kiss.
Ruby pushes us backward, my legs hitting the bed as I sit down. I watch as she stands over me, a sexy smile on her face as she brushes her thumb across my mouth. “You are beautiful,” she whispers, before moving closer, climbing onto the bed, her legs on either side of my hips as she straddles me.
I reach for the box of condoms, practically ripping it open in my haste to get one. I don’t know which one of us gets it on me, but as soon as it’s on, Ruby is lifting herself up before slowly lowering her body onto my achingly hard dick, our eyes locked together the whole time.
“Oh jesus christ, Ruby,” I whisper, my hand gripping the back of her neck, my mouth against hers. “Fuck, you feel amazing.”
I feel her mouth curve into a smile against mine, her arms around my neck as she kisses me. “Yes,” she breathes out, before slowly lifting up and repeating the move.
I feel overwhelmed and out of control, my whole body consumed by lust and want and need and something else I can’t describe. I wasn’t kidding when I said I hadn’t done this in a really long time and it’s as if Ruby can sense how little control I have. How much I’m trying to hold on right now, trying to last so I can make this good for her.
I keep my eyes open, watching as she slowly rides me, my hand still gripping the back of her neck as my other one now moves between us. She lets out a gasp when I touch her, my thumb brushing over her most sensitive spot.
“Oh yes,” she moans, her head falling back a little. “Yes.”
She continues to move, up and down, slowly and deliberately as I move my thumb against her. Both of us are moaning, our breathing growing more and more ragged as we’re consumed by each other, by the things we’re doing, by the way we are making each other feel.
She looks fucking amazing and I can’t take my eyes off her as she gradually increases the tempo, her body tightening around me as her skin heats up. I watch as her mouth falls open, her eyes closing as her head falls back.
“Caleb,” she cries, my thumb still pressed against her, still pushing her closer and closer until I finally start to feel her, feel as she falls apart and comes around me.
It’s enough to push me over the edge with her, thrusting up into her one last time as I explode inside her. “Ruby, yes…Fuck, yes.”
Her head falls onto my shoulder, her breathing hard and hot against my neck as I slide my arms around her and hold her close, burying my face against her neck and inhaling her scent, which is now a mix of coconut, the beach and us. My heart pounds in my chest, my whole body feeling more alive than it has in a very long time as every nerve fires rapidly beneath my skin, electricity coursing through me.
I’ve tried so damn hard to resist this girl, to not do this with her because she deserves so much more than me or what I can offer her. But right now, I cannot for the life of me figure out how I thought I could stop this. I feel drawn to her in ways I can’t explain. She is so much more than just a comfort or a balm against my nightmares.
She’s…everything.
“Are you okay?” she eventually asks, her head still on my shoulder.
“Fuck yes,” I chuckle. “I am so fucking good right now. Are you?”
She lifts her head, her beautiful smiling face looking back at me as she brushes a hand against my cheek. “Absolutely.”
Smiling, I lean in and kiss her, whispering, “Best birthday ever.”
She lets out a soft laugh. “What about your cake?”
“Didn’t I just have my dessert?” I tease, sliding my hands up her back and wrapping my arms around her ribcage.
Ruby pinches my side. “Cheeky boy,” she says. “Do you want cake?”
“Yes.”
“I’ll go get it,” she whispers, her mouth at my ear as she sucks and bites at my earlobe.
I groan, my arms tightening around her. “No,” I murmur.
“No, you don’t want cake?”
I nuzzle at her neck wanting fucking everything right now. “I want cake,” I whisper, kissing my way to her mouth. “And I want you.”
Her lips find mine, brushing across them in the softest of kisses. “You can have both.”
“Good,” I groan, deepening the kiss, never wanting any of this to end.
Eventually though, I do have to do something about the condom situation, so I gently ease Ruby off me, immediately missing the feel of her body wrapped around mine.
“Let me go take care of this,” I tell her. “And get cake,” I add, smiling as I lean down to kiss her.
I walk out to the kitchen, ditching the condom in the trash before putting the cake in the fridge and grabbing two beers. Then I pick up the slices she cut earlier and take it all back to her room. Ruby is lying in bed already, smiling as I walk in and join her.
“Oh holy shit,” I moan when I finally taste the cake she’s made me.
Ruby giggles. “Is that good?”
I shovel some more in, amazed at the trouble she’s gone to for me today. “Good?” I say around my mouthful. “Ruby, this is fucking delicious.”
She laughs again before trying it herself and the two of us eat in peaceful silence.
After we’re done, I take her plate from her hands, pulling her closer so she’s lying propped against the pillows as I rest my head on her chest, my arms wrapped around her.
“Thank you, Ruby,” I whisper, pressing my lips to her skin, right against her heart. “No one has ever done anything like this for me before.”
I feel her fingers in my hair, gently brushing it back. “You’re welcome,” she says quietly. “I just wanted you to have a really nice day.”
“Mmm,” I murmur, nuzzling her. “It was way more than nice.”
She laughs softly, her fingers still running through my hair. It feels so fucking good to be touched like this, to feel her warm skin against mine and to hear her heart beating beneath my ear.
“Can I ask you something?” she eventually says.
I lift my head, my eyes meeting hers. “You can ask me anything.”
She smiles, her finger tracing my eyebrow. “You said it had been a long time since…”
“Yeah,” I tell her, letting out a soft laugh. “It has, a really long time.”
“Like…?”
“Like, I don’t know, six months, maybe longer,” I admit. “And even that was nothing serious, just a…you know…” I trail off, not really wanting to admit that my sex life for the past two years has been nothing but a couple of random and extremely intermittent one-night stands that always left me feeling empty and shit. “What about you?” I ask, my chin resting on her chest. “That’s a pretty big box of condoms you have there?” I tease, my eyes flicking to the box on her nightstand.
Ruby blushes, a hand on her face now and I can’t help but laugh as I pull it away.
“What? You can tell me,” I say, trying to ignore this sudden feeling of jealousy that rears up inside me.
“Well,” she says, biting her lip, her cheeks a little pink. “That actually came from your sister.”
