The moment I felt him suck, my eyes popped open. Coming face to face with the guy I least expected…
For the second time that night.
Chapter 21
—Belle—
“What are you doing?”
“Exactly what it looks like. Let me make you feel good, kitten.”
“I’ve never—”
“I know.”
“I’m sorry about earlier. You’re right. I wasn’t thinking. It won’t happen again.”
My chest rose and fell with each rapid intake of breath. “I’m sorry too. I shouldn’t have turned on you. We’re in this together until the end.”
“I don’t want us to end, and I’ll do whatever I have to in order to keep you in my life. If we have to keep this a secret until graduation, then so be it. I won’t lose you too. I can’t.”
I grimaced. He’d already lost so much in his short life. Hearing him express that to me was like a knife to my heart.
“Do you forgive me?”
I nodded, trying to find the courage to tell him to keep going.
“You’re beautiful, Belle. So fucking beautiful.”
“You are too.”
“Can I make you feel good, kitten?”
I swallowed the lump in my throat, coaxing, “Please do.”
—Tristian—
Her eyes widened, beckoning me to continue down this uncharted territory between us. With my stare focused solely on her pretty face, I sucked her nub into my mouth while my hand caressed her breast, leaving her quivering beneath me. Chills ran up and down my spine as I groaned in satisfaction of having her this way for the first time.
I didn’t know what else I could do to make it right. Other than to soothe the ache I created all the time. Her back arched off the bed, wanting more, and I happily obliged. She sucked in her bottom lip, concealing the moan that was about to escape.
It was a memory I’d take to the grave.
Devouring her this way.
I stayed there with my face in between her legs until she was coming down my throat.
“Holy shit…” she breathed out, riding the high I built. “Where did you learn how to do that?”
I chuckled, crawling my way up to her face. “Belle Montgomery, you have no idea what I can do to you.”
She whispered, “Show me.”
“Show you, huh? What does my girl want that only I can give her?”
“You. I want all of you.”
Rubbing my lips over hers, I murmured, “I didn’t come here for that.”
“I know.”
“I mean it. I know what people say about me at school, but I need you to know, I haven’t been with anyone since we met.” I could read her curious expression. “Ask.”
She hesitated for a second. “How many girls have you been with?”
“Not as many as you think.”
“Which is?”
“Nobody mattered until you, kitten. Everyone before you aren’t even a memory for me. They’re meaningless.”
“And me?”
“You’re everything.”
“Prove it.”
“Kitten…” I softly kissed her lips.
“No more talking, just be with me. Just you and me. Nothing else matters right now.”
“So no bedtime? No tucking you in?”
“Sleep isn’t exactly what I had in mind.” She shyly smiled. “Touch me, please.”
I growled into her mouth, slipping my tongue past her parting lips. She wrapped her legs around my waist and her arms quickly followed, doing the same around my neck. I gripped the back of hers, bringing us closer but still not nearly close enough.
Gently, I kissed her, loving the feel of her tongue in my mouth. Pulling back a little, I rested my forehead on hers to look into her eyes. It crippled me in ways I never thought possible. There was a hunger in her glare I couldn’t place. I was barely touching her, and yet she still felt me all over.
Both of us were panting.
Our breathing mirroring one another’s.
Our heart rates escalating higher and higher, beating beside each other.
So intense.
So consuming.
So mind-blowing.
In that second, in that minute, in that hour…
She. Loved. Me.
And I loved her too.
She touched the pulse on my neck, trailed down to my heart, and past my taut abs as she reached for my belt. The warmth and velvetiness of her skin made my cock twitch, a feeling only she ignited within me.
She gasped when I unexpectedly gripped her hand, stopping her. “Are you sure?”
Before I could assure her, tell her what I felt so deeply in my heart, tell her how much she meant to me, how much she’d always meant to me…
I spoke the truth, “I can’t stay away from you, Belle. I love you. I’m in love with you.”
With wide eyes, she whispered, “I love you too.”
I let go of her hand and she unclasped my belt, unbuttoned my jeans, and then lowered the zipper. Before she could touch me where I really wanted her to, where I had been craving since the second I saw her, I moved her hand away.
“This isn’t about me. It’s about you. Let me take care of you.”
Her gaze set me on fire, and my heart kicked into overdrive. I loved the way she looked at me. No one had ever looked at me the way she did. Everyone usually expected something out of me. I could never get away from it. It was always there, looming over me.
