When he stepped back, she heard his belt being unfastened and the sound of his zipper. The slide of denim along his skin. The tear of the foil condom wrapper.
“I thought you were kidding when you said no one was getting naked.”
With another answering grunt, his heat was once again at her back.
He clamped a hand on her hip and tugged. “Tip your ass up.”
She was A-okay with that particular demand.
She shivered when he pulled the back of her shirt higher to completely expose her bare ass.
Should she worry about what it looked like? Cellulite, stretch marks, the list could be endless…
Hell, did she remember to lotion this morning?
Or… should she simply not care?
Really, it was out of her control. Either he liked how she looked or he didn’t.
She could be wrong, but he didn’t seem to be the type to nitpick over a little extra weight, loose skin, or even scars.
The truth was, nobody should judge unless they were perfect themselves.
Obviously, Nox was far from perfect. Though, she wouldn’t mind seeing him naked so she could do her own thorough assessment.
Unfortunately, that wasn’t going to happen—today, anyway—since the man was determined to have sex with her while standing up, with her facing away from him and by only dropping his jeans far enough to whip out his cock. While in contrast, she was naked from the waist down and her breasts hung free.
Not fair.
But at least she was getting some action, right? And from a man who was fine as hell.
Awkward or not, doing this today might lead to more sex with him in the future. The next time might not be as awkward, on an actual bed and when she wouldn’t be worried he’d get spooked and sprint for the exit.
Normally, she’d say this was a baby step. But for Nox, it had to be huge.
While she needed patience and understanding, she also needed his cock. What was he waiting for?
Ohhhh. That.
His hand skimmed over one ass cheek before doing the same on the other. His touch was feather-like until he grabbed a cheek and squeezed. Hard.
Slipping a hand between her legs, he once again tested her wetness.
She could confirm, she was ready for him to proceed.
He withdrew his hand to draw the head of his cock down through her crease before reversing course and sliding it back up.
His scorching temperature radiated against her skin, even where they didn’t have direct contact. He was burning up and she was burning up for him.
Having sex would either help him move forward or hurtle him back down into his dark space, where he retreated to feel safe. Time would tell if this would help or hinder him.
“Ready?” His gruff voice shot a shiver through her.
Oh hell yes, she was ready. She nodded to let him know, even though it was unneeded.
“It’s been a while,” he said softly.
“It has.”
“I meant for me.”
“You’re in good company.”
He stilled behind her. “You haven’t been… dating?”
Was “dating” his alternative way of saying “fucking?” Because she hadn’t been doing either.
“Who has time for that?” she half-joked.
Not only did she not have the time, she didn’t have the mental energy to deal with a dating scene that consisted of slogging through lumps of coal to find an elusive diamond.
Plus, after Jason, she now looked at all men with tinted glasses. And that tint was far from rose colored. It would take a lot for her to ever trust a man enough to give him her heart.
Not only that, but she wasn’t one to have sex with a random stranger.
She glanced at the man she didn’t know very well standing behind her with his cock in his hand.
At least Nox wasn’t random. Or a complete stranger.
That was her story, and she was sticking to it. Sometimes a girl had to do what a girl had to do.
And she was about to “do” Nox.
“You didn’t need to warn me. I figured.”
“I don’t want to disappoint you,” he whispered.
“I’m only disappointed that you’re taking so long to—”
Chapter Seventeen
With one hand on her hip and the other grabbing her shoulder, he drove into her hard, causing her to jerk forward and eat the rest of her words. She braced her arms so he didn’t smash her face into the door with how hard he was thrusting.
She adapted quickly to his thickness. He was definitely the perfect size to clean out her cobwebs.
She forgot how good it felt to have a man fill her completely. While her toys got the job done, using them was not quite the same as sharing mutual satisfaction with another person. Of her choosing, that was.
Nox was definitely that.
Intimacy was lacking when she only used a vibrator. With Nox, all her senses were being utilized.
Well, except for taste. They hadn’t kissed yet. And she wasn’t sure if they would, given the circumstances. She hadn’t even touched her lips to his skin like he had with her. But as for the rest…
