“Oh,” I breathe out softly.

“Any other questions?” he asks gruffly, then pulls back to stare at me with a tight look on his face.

I do nothing but shake my head, words not seemingly important at this moment. He smiles at me then—radiant, triumphant…joyful. Taking my shoulders, he spins me back in the direction of the restroom and gives me a slight push. “Hurry up. Sooner you get back, sooner we can drink a beer, sooner we can…well, you know.”

I scurry off to pee, completely obsessed with how I can forgo the beer that Alex must have committed to drink with Garrett before we could make our exit. I briefly consider faking an illness, but instead quickly pee and opt to guzzle my beer.

My legs are spread wide, my h*ps raised off the mattress because Alex has my ankles resting on his shoulders. He’s pounding away inside of me, pausing every few thrusts to ravage my lips, once even biting down when I dared to disobey him and closed my eyes in pleasurable abandon. He had previously ordered me to keep my eyes on his, but that proved difficult when I felt on the verge of slipping into a coma of lust.

After a particularly hard kiss where we both try to push groans past each other’s lips, Alex pulls back and stills his h*ps for a moment. A sheen of moisture covers his face and his arms are locked at the elbow while he supports his weight above me, causing his muscles to look sharply cut. He looks down at me with such fiery need etched on his face, my heart skips a shocking beat as I return his gaze. I’ve never seen anyone look so hungry for something before…like he is starving and there will never be enough sustenance to fill the void that is ravaging him.

He opens his mouth as if he’s going to say something, and whatever it is, I can tell it’s going to be profound by the look on his face. But then something clouds his irises and he gives a slight shake to his head as if clearing it of cobwebs.

Without warning, Alex pulls out of me, lowering my legs from his shoulders. He’s a large man in every way and I keenly feel the loss within me. Before I can ask what’s wrong, his hands grip my waist and he flips me over on the mattress, immediately pulling me up on my hands and knees.

I hang my head low, letting my hair float in a curtain around me, not even daring to look over my shoulder at him. I’m afraid if I see the same intensity in his gaze that I can actually feel vibrating off his body, I might spontaneously combust.

Alex’s hands grip my h*ps firmly, his thumbs grazing the skin on my butt cheeks. He wastes no time or energy as he pulls me back while thrusting forward, filling me up in one powerful move.

Breath hissing through his teeth, Alex rocks into me deeply, sometimes groaning when he reaches in to the hilt. My own lungs seem constricted at times; so great is the pleasure he’s giving me that it’s almost impossible to breathe. I keep my face pointed toward the mattress, my eyes scrunched shut, only imagining what Alex’s massive body must look like as he takes me from behind with no mercy.

There is no sweet tenderness from him, but I can still feel a world of care within his touch. I can sometimes hear it in the way he moans, but most definitely he gives it away when he talks as he f**ks me.

So good.

Never felt like this before.

Only you, Sutton. Only you.

Every word is said with thick longing in his voice, and even though he’s getting exactly what he wants at this very moment, it tells me he is craving even more from me.

That thought causes me such elation because I’m not sure I’ve ever been truly needed before by someone.

I think Alex truly needs me, and every minute I spend with him, I’m afraid the feeling is becoming mutual.

Our breaths come out harsher the faster Alex moves within me, mine practically wheezing out of my lungs. Digging his fingers into my skin, he endears himself to me further when he pants, “Are you okay?”

“More” is how I answer him, and he groans in response.

He also gives me more.

I spiral out of control so very fast, and I don’t try to even hold myself back. I just imagine myself throwing my hands up in surrender and falling down into a vortex of mind-blowing pleasure as I start to orgasm. Alex feels me fracture…hears me as I come because I’m crying out in desperate relief. He answers me with a hard slam into my body, pushing me all the way down into the mattress where the entire length of his hard frame comes to rest on me.

He comes beautifully as his h*ps continue to pump, his mouth resting by my ear as he murmurs, “So f**king good, Sutton. So f**king good.”

My hair is covering my face as I turn it sideways to rest on the pillow. I can feel Alex’s fingers as they start to push the long locks away so he can look at me. I blink when the glow of his bedside lamp hits me, and I see his beautiful face covered in sweat and satisfaction as he gazes at me. His face clouds in concern and his thumb sweeps just below my right eye.

“You’re crying,” he whispers.

“I am?”

Moving off of my back, Alex lies down at my side, peering at me closer. “Yeah, you are.”

“Tears of joy,” I assure him. “Tears of ecstasy. Tears of the best freakin’ orgasm ever.”

Chuckling, Alex pulls me into his arms and I roll slightly so that he can pull me in tight. My outside leg slides in between his and I feel him still semi-erect and pushing hotly against my lower stomach. It makes me want him again—already. I curl my arm around his waist and snuggle in tighter.

“Am I too rough with you?” Alex asks quietly as he strokes my na**d back.
