We watched the fire slowly burn down, until Embry stretched and murmured, “Let’s get ready for bed.”
After we took turns in the bathroom, we climbed under the covers. This time, Embry didn’t wait for us to gravitate together in our sleep. Instead, he slid close enough to share the same pillow and rested his hand on my waist.
As I studied his features, he grinned and asked, “Can you actually see me right now, without your glasses?”
“I’m nearsighted, so you’re perfectly in focus.” We’d also left a small lamp on across the room, so that helped.
I ran my fingertips along the curve of his jaw, which was slightly rough from his five o’clock shadow. “You’re absolutely beautiful, Em,” I said softly.
He whispered, “Why would you say that?”
“Because it’s true, and because you need to hear it.”
He searched my eyes before leaning in and tenderly kissing me. I took us deeper, dialing up the heat as I slid my hand down his back.
I knew this was a turning point—we were about to redefine our relationship, but I wasn’t really thinking about where we’d go from here. I wasn’t thinking about much of anything, actually. For once, I managed to get out of my head, feeling instead of thinking—and whatever was happening between us felt wonderful.
Since he was pressed against me, Embry knew I was starting to get hard. He whispered, “Is it okay if I touch you—”
“Anywhere you want.”
“Okay. Same with me, by the way.”
He slid his hand down my stomach, slowly, as if he was giving me time to change my mind. When he rubbed my hard-on through my sweats, a soft moan slipped from me.
I claimed his mouth in an urgent kiss as heat shot through me. Now that we’d crossed this line, I desperately needed more. The way he responded told me he did, too.
He pulled my T-shirt over my head and tossed it aside. Then he worked his way down my body, licking and kissing and occasionally nibbling me while my cock throbbed.
When he reached my waistband, I raised my hips for him, and he pulled my sweatpants and briefs to mid-thigh. Then he tried to yank them off in one motion, but my legs got tangled in the fabric. I tried to sit up and help, but we bumped heads, and I dropped back onto the pillow with an, “Ow.”
“Just let me.”
Both of us started chuckling when he stood up on the bed, grabbed my sweatpants, and tried to pull them straight up. He ended up hoisting my lower half off the bed, hanging me by my ankles as I exclaimed, “What are you doing? I feel like a marlin that’s being hauled onto a fishing boat!”
“I’ve got this. I have mad seduction skills. I should give a Ted Talk on how to seduce your mate.” That made me laugh even harder.
He shook me like a dog with a chew toy. Finally, my feet slipped out of the tangle of sweats and underwear, and the half of me that had been hanging in the air fell back onto the mattress. He shouted, “Ta da,” and held up the clothes victoriously before tossing them over his shoulder.
Then he dropped down on top of me, and I wrapped my arms around him and murmured, “There’s no one in the world like you, Em.”
“That’s probably a good thing. One’s enough.”
I’d lost my erection during all of that, but it came right back when we started kissing again. Embry reached down and stroked my hard-on, and I cupped his ass with both hands. Somewhere along the line, he’d taken off his sweatpants, but he was still wearing briefs and a T-shirt. I was about to do something about that when he slid between my legs and started sucking my cock.
Holy fucking shit.
It wasn’t my first blow job, but none of the others had prepared me for the magic Embry could do. I propped myself up on one elbow because I wanted to see what he was doing, and when I ran my hand over his hair, he glanced up at me. When our eyes met, our connection felt tangible and electric.
Soon after, my brain shorted out. Pleasure and sensation radiated through me, so strong that it obliterated all rational thought.
Needless to say, I didn’t last long. I tried to give him a heads up by blurting something barely intelligible when I was about to come, but he kept sucking me. About two seconds later, I bit back a yell as a massive orgasm slammed into me.
It left me wrecked. Shaking. Barely functional. I collapsed against the pillows and muttered something totally inarticulate, like, “Fuck me, that was fucking awesome.”
Embry curled up next to me and pulled the covers over both of us, and I rolled onto my side, so I was facing him. He was grinning and looked like he was pretty proud of himself, probably because he knew he’d just rocked my world. Even though I was barely conscious, I mumbled, “What about you? You didn’t get to finish… or start.”
