LOGINHe climbs up my body, his own breathing still uneven. He hovers over me, propped on his elbows, his dark eyes searching my face. I’m still floating, my limbs heavy, my mind pleasantly blank. The hum of the jet feels like a lullaby.
He leans down and kisses me softly, letting me taste myself on his lips. It’s intimate, grounding.
“You okay?” he murmurs, brushing a damp strand of hair from my forehead.
I manage a weak nod. “More than.”
His smile is tender, but there’s a familiar heat still smoldering in his gaze. The tenderness is a brief reprieve; I know him too well to think we’re finished. He is a man who takes his time, who enjoys every stage of unraveling me.
He shifts his weight, his hands moving to my hips. “Turn over,” he says, his voice a quiet command.
The fog of my first release clears a little, replaced by a fresh spark of anticipation. I push myself up, my body still humming, and roll onto my stomach. The bed is cool against my flushed skin. I get onto my hands and knees, feeling exposed, the position leaving me utterly open to him. I look back over my shoulder.
He’s kneeling behind me, watching. His eyes rake over me with a possessiveness that makes my breath catch. He places a large, warm hand on the small of my back, pressing down gently until my spine curves, my back dipping and my hips rising in silent offering. The arch feels natural, submissive. A shiver runs through me that has nothing to do with the cabin’s temperature.
“Beautiful,” he breathes, almost to himself. His hands smooth over the curve of my rear, a slow, appreciative caress. “So utterly perfect.”
He leans forward, but he doesn’t enter me. Instead, his mouth finds the sensitive skin at the base of my spine. He kisses a slow, wet trail downward, his teeth grazing lightly. I bury my face in the bedding, a moan muffled by the soft material. Every nerve ending is alive, hyper-aware of his every movement.
His journey is deliberate, agonizingly slow. His lips and tongue explore the backs of my thighs, the crease where leg meets body. He’s teasing, building the tension all over again, making me keenly aware of the empty, aching throb between my legs. I’m still slick from my first climax, from him, and the cool air on my damp skin is a sharp contrast to the heat of his mouth.
“Paul…” His name is a plea, strained and needy.
“Shhh,” he soothes, his breath fanning over me. “I’m taking my time. This one’s mine.”
Finally, his hands spread me wider. He doesn’t use his tongue where I’m desperate for it. Not yet. First, he presses a soft, open-mouthed kiss to my core from behind. The sensation is different, shocking in its intimacy. I jolt, a sharp gasp tearing from my throat.
He chuckles darkly, the sound vibrating against me. “Sensitive?”
I can’t answer. I’m trembling, holding the position he put me in by sheer force of will.
Then his tongue finds me.
If the first time was a lightning strike, this is a slow, deliberate fire. He starts with long, languid strokes that cover every inch of me. He’s not just seeking my pleasure; he’s savoring me. Memorizing me. The angle is different, deeper. His tongue delves inside, and I cry out, my arms buckling so my forearms are on the bed, my back still arched high.
“Stay up,” he commands, his voice rough. A hand comes down firmly on my hip, holding me in place.
I obey, forcing my shaking arms to straighten. The effort, the slight strain in my muscles, only heightens the sensations. He works me with a skill that borders on cruel. He’ll bring me to the very edge with a relentless, rhythmic pressure, then pull back to feather light, maddening flicks. He’ll lap at me slowly, then fasten his mouth and suck, hard. He’s playing an instrument, and my body is singing a ragged, desperate song for him alone.
My world narrows to the feeling of his mouth on me and the sound of my own ragged breathing. The jet’s vibration seems to sync with the pounding of my blood. Pleasure is a live wire under my skin, sparking and twisting with every move of his tongue. It builds slower this time, a deep, coiling pressure that originates in my very core and spreads outward, making my toes curl and my fingers clutch at the bedding.
“I can’t…” I sob, the tension coiling impossibly tight. “It’s too much…”
“It’s not enough,” he growls against me. He slides a hand around my hip, his fingers finding the swollen, slick bundle of nerves his tongue has been avoiding. He presses down in a firm, circular motion.
The combination is devastating.
A sharp, broken cry is ripped from my throat as the second orgasm detonates. This one is different—deeper, less of a crash and more of a profound, rolling quake that seems to start in my soul and radiate outward. My entire body convulses, the arch in my back becoming a taut bowstring. White light floods the edges of my vision. I am pure sensation, unraveling completely under the mastery of his mouth and hands.
He gentles his touch but doesn’t stop, coaxing every last shudder, every aftershock from me until I collapse forward, my body spent and trembling. I’m a puddle of sensation, unable to move.
He moves then, his own urgency finally breaking through his control. I feel the blunt, heated pressure of him at my entrance. He doesn’t ask. He knows I’m his. With a low groan that sounds like relief, he pushes into me in one long, slow, claiming stroke.
I’m so sensitive, so thoroughly worked open, that the fullness is almost overwhelming. A ragged moan escapes me. He stills, buried to the hilt, letting me adjust, letting us both savor the feeling.
He braces his hands on the bed on either side of me, his body curving over my back. He drops a kiss on my shoulder blade.
“Two,” he whispers, his voice thick with triumph and desire.
Then he begins to move.
He does. He kisses me again, and this time it’s a promise. We keep kissing as our hands begin to move, fumbling with buttons and zippers. My fingers work on the buttons of his shirt, pushing the fabric off his broad shoulders. He makes a low sound of approval as I run my palms over his chest, marveling at the feel of him. He’s still so fit, so solid. Time has been good to him, adding a layer of authority to his handsomeness that only makes my stomach flutter more.He helps me out of my cardigan, then his hands go to the simple wrap dress I’m wearing. He finds the tie at my waist and undoes it with a gentle tug. The dress falls open. He pushes it off my shoulders, letting it pool at my feet. Then, his fingers hook into the sides of my plain cotton underwear. He looks into my eyes, a question in his, and at my slight nod, he draws them down my legs. I step out of them, standing bare before him in the cool, clinical air of his office."You’re so beautiful," he murmurs, his voice thick. H
I haven’t seen my husband in months.I shove things into the hospital bag—sweatpants, a clean t-shirt, his toothbrush—his text was specific. I kiss the kids goodbye in a rush, their little faces blurry in my hurry, and leave them with the sitter.Our sex life had turned into a desert. Dry, empty, a chore neither of us wanted to do. I’m the one who finally said the word: separation. Because sex does matter. Anyone who says it doesn’t is lying or lucky. Since our third baby, Anna, the passion didn’t just fade; it packed its bags and left without a forwarding address. It’s been three months of silence between us, broken only by him showing up to take the kids to the park so I could have a few hours to remember who I was. I was starting to accept the idea of a life without that kind of touch. I’d even joined a ‘holy and wholesome living’ group at church. I wasn’t going to masturbate. The thought felt sad and desperate, a poor imitation of the real thing. I’m not cheating. I know he isn’
He looks rougher than I’ve ever seen him. The sharp, polished edges are gone, replaced by a raw, unshaven scruff and shadows under his bloodshot eyes. The refusal to sign the papers in Vegas, the no-show at the hearing—I met his stubbornness with silence. I cut all contact. My father is still a silent figure in a hospital bed. Zayne is awake, trapped in a body that doesn’t obey him, and I owe him my presence. That’s the debt I’m paying.It’s been almost a month. Gayle called off her wedding to Carlos. She said the accident made her see clearly—she never loved him. Maybe the crash gave us all a brutal sort of clarity. I don’t know. I tuck a strand of hair behind my ear, a nervous habit, as Paul steps back to let me into the penthouse.The space is a ghost of itself. Everything is packed into cardboard boxes, taped shut and labeled. The furniture is still here, but it feels empty, waiting. The only thing that isn’t packed, the only thing hanging on the vast living room wall, is our wedd
"How could you do this, Penny?" My mother hisses through her sobs, the sound raw and broken, each gasp like a physical blow. Gayle stands beside her, aggressively wiping at her own face, her movements sharp with anger and disbelief. Carlos holds her from behind, his grip tight as if he’s the only thing keeping her upright. My father lies in a coma. Zayne’s legs are shattered. The doctors say it will take a miracle for him to ever walk again. All because of a crash on the way back from the airport, a stupid accident that shouldn’t have happened. I’ve never felt more horrible in my life, a hollow, nauseous pit where my heart should be.Paul is driving us to the hotel, his knuckles white on the steering wheel, his face a mask of stern concentration as he talks low and fast into his phone. He’s arranging everything—doctors, private rooms for my mother and sister to stay overnight, specialists flying in. The efficiency of it should be comforting, but it just makes me feel worse. I am paral
When the flight lands in Vegas, I'm completely tired, my bones are aching and I could barely move. He lifts me up after helping me change in a knitted turtle neck dress and a jacket. I cling to him, breathing in his scent as the crew members gives us a knowing look.I know that sooner or later, we'd have to get it done with.I fall asleep at the back of the Bentley that drives us to where my parents are, he's more active than me and it makes me extremely jealous especially since he's the one that did this to me.My thighs are burning and sore, vision blurry but I can feel myself getting carried and I can hear my ringtone that comes to a stop.The next morning, I get up with a stretch. My eyes widen when I see a large frame of our wedding photo at the center of a room I recognize well. It's the room we had our wedding night in, the same hotel he took my virginity. He didn't take me to my parents.I hear footsteps approaching, then he appears from the doors with two coffee mugs in han
The single, gritted-out word was a promise and a punctuation mark. Two. The sound of it, heavy with his satisfaction, seemed to hang in the air of the private cabin, thicker than the jet’s own hum.He didn’t pull out. He stayed buried inside me, a solid, unmoving anchor as the last tremors of my second climax finally subsided. My forehead rested on the cool leather of the seat, my entire body lax and humming, held up only by the cage of his arms and the relentless press of him within me. I was utterly spent, a vessel filled and overflowing. I thought, dimly, that we might be finished. That the storm had passed.I was wrong.With a low grunt, he withdrew. The sudden emptiness was a shock, a cold void where there had been heat and fullness. A weak sound of protest escaped my lips.A dark chuckle was his only reply. His hands, large and inescapable, gripped my hips, his thumbs digging into the soft flesh. He didn’t let me collapse. Instead, he lifted me.It was effortless. The sheer phys
