“Fucking hell,” he grits out.
At least that’s what I think he says. My mind spins as moans pour from my mouth and my orgasm pushes down on me. It’s been too long since I had one and this is so different. So much better than my fingers or the toy in my drawer could ever do. This is a real man between my thighs getting me off, and not just any man either. This is the one who takes up every spare thought I have when my nose isn't shoved inside a book.
My panties stick to me as my arousal slicks the inside of them to the point that I’m drenched. My orgasm is right there and ready to break free at any moment.
“Berkley.”
He growls my name and the sound is a rumble from deep inside his chest. It’s filled with so much desire that it sends me over the edge and my whole body jerks with pleasure. I call out his name as hot waves roll over me and my eyes close tight. I shake with the power of it and gasp against his chest, unable to catch my breath. Okay, maybe what I gave myself before wasn't a full-on orgasm, because that is something else altogether. Jesus, I was only dry humping him. What would it be like if I actually had his cock in me?
My heart races in my chest for a second as I think about it. What does this mean for us?
Before I can let my mind play catch-up, Vaughn rolls us over and his body moves on top of mine. I feel the sticky wetness between us and I wonder if he got off too.
“Vaughn,” I say softly, unsure where we go from here.
We shouldn’t be doing this at all. He’s my brother-in-law. He’s going to be in my life forever. My sister’s having his brother’s baby. We’ll be forever connected if this all goes wrong.
“Get out of that head of yours, Berkley. With me that’s not where you need to be.”
“But—”
He cuts me off and my lips part for him as he kisses me slow and sweet. Our tongues tangle like we’ve done this so many times before. For a moment I think this isn’t our first kiss because it’s so familiar and comforting. How is that possible?
“You want sleep or food?” he asks when he lifts off me a little.
“Both,” I say with a small laugh.
“Then sleep. I’m going to shower and make you food. Then you can hit the books.” I nod in agreement and he kisses the end of my nose before pushing off the bed and walking to my bathroom. I roll onto my side and watch him go and it doesn't feel awkward. I still don’t know what this means, but I know I don’t regret what just happened. Not when I feel this good.
“Get out of that head, sweet thing,” Vaughn shouts from the bathroom, making me smile.
I pull the blankets over my head while my body still buzzes with pleasure. I’m smiling as I close my eyes and fall back to sleep for a little bit.
When I wake up, it’s to a kiss on my lips. “Food’s almost ready.”
“Mmkay,” I say, feeling a little shy. This time he kisses the tip of my nose and shakes his head. He yanks the blankets off me in one quick move and I sit up in protest. “Hey!”
“We’re headed for the endzone, sweet thing. Up with it.”
I groan and pull myself from the bed, knowing he’s right. I need to get back to studying because I’m so close to the end. He gives my butt a smack and I jump. I try and give him a look of death but he only winks at me before going to the kitchen, whistling the whole time. The smell of coffee and food has me moving, but first I need to clean up.
I could get used to this. Don’t. I stop that train of thought as I look in the mirror. I push my hair out of my face and remind myself that this apartment is different than the island. I’ve enjoyed my life in London, but it isn't home. I never meant for London to be where I put down roots, but when Collins told me to come back to the island I agreed. Now I don’t know how long I can stay even though I know she’ll say forever. That’s her home and there’s nothing there for me besides her.
“Sweet thing!” Vaughn calls for me, breaking my spiraling thoughts.
“One day at a time,” I tell myself. I need to get through these last few tests and then I can worry about what comes next.
When I walk into the kitchen I come up short when I see Vaughn standing at the stove in only boxer briefs. I’m still in his shirt and only changed my panties when I went to the bathroom. I should have put on some pants. I can’t believe I humped him this morning. I’m like a cat in heat because I already want more right now just watching him make me breakfast.
