He lifted his head, knowing she needed to breathe.
Her eyes fluttered open and a second later, reality kicked in.
She gasped.
He didn’t say anything, just looked at her challengingly.
Gabby swallowed and bit her lip.
Dammit – it was time she learned what that little act of hers did to him.
With a low growl, he bent his head down again and sucked her lower lip – hard.
She gasped again, her body bucking against him.
Releasing her lower lip, he ravaged her mouth with another devouring kiss, swallowing her whimpers of surprised pleasure. He exerted force on her legs until they fell open and he settled on top of her, groaning against her lips as her mound nestled her cock.
“Hadrian.” It was the sexiest thing he had ever heard.
“Yes, baby,” he gritted out, looking down as he cupped her perfect little breasts. He slowly pulled the cups down, exposing her breasts inch by inch.
“Hadrian!”
“It’s as perfect as I’ve always imagined.”
“Hadrian!”
Ignoring her shocked cry, he bent down and nuzzled his face against her breasts.
She trembled hard, unable to believe how aroused she was. This was Hadrian. What was happening? But there was no time to follow that line of thought, not when Hadrian was cupping her breast, making her swallow, and then his head was moving towards her nipple—
She let out a shriek, body arching as a lightning bolt of pleasure struck her body at the feel of his mouth around her nipple. He laved it with his tongue, played with the tip, and nipped it gently between his teeth before sucking on it hard.
Oh…my.
She dug her nails into his shoulders, unable to stop herself from lifting herself towards him, wanting more of his kiss.
He obeyed the silent command, suckling on her nipple, loving the taste of it, before moving on to worship her other breast.
His fingers were moving down, tracing her belly, and making her squirm. She tried to pull away when she realized where his fingers were heading but it was no use, not with her legs spread eagled and Hadrian’s powerfully muscular body between them.
His fingers dipped inside her lacy underwear. Before she could draw another breath, he was tracing her folds sweetly and gently.
Her breath caught in a strangled choking sound.
Never…never had she imagined it would feel this heavenly. Hadrian was moving his fingers rhythmically now, stroking her like a pet. And then he was dipping one finger in.
“HADRIAN!” She could not stop herself from screaming. She didn’t care if everyone on the same floor heard her. It was unbelievable, the way just that one finger filled her to satisfaction. And then he started to move his finger, thrusting it in and out slowly. She moaned, gripping his shoulders tightly.
“Let go, baby,” he urged her as he moved his finger more rapidly inside her. When he felt her inner muscles contracting, her walls stretching to accommodate him, he slipped another finger inside her.
“Oh God!”
“Yes,” he hissed in satisfaction, staring down at her enraptured face and loving every moment. He moved his fingers even faster.
She began to move, matching his thrusts, lifting herself up as he drove his fingers in.
“Please…”
He slipped his third finger in.
“Aaaaaaaaaaaah.”
He did not give her time to adjust. He thrust his fingers hard in and out of her, fucking her like it was his cock. Her cries became wilder, almost incoherent, telling him she was close.
“Hadrian.”
“Yes, baby, let go.”
“Please, Hadrian!”
“Now, baby, now.”
And because it was that tone, she could not help responding and submitting, could not stop herself from doing what she could to please him. And like always, what pleased him pleased her even more and she cried out as her orgasm took her over the cliff, her body shaking and pouring out her release, drenching his fingers.
All the while he held her, gazed at her, and God he wanted her even more now.
When she opened her eyes, they were confused, with just the hint of fear.
No. Fuck no! He would not let her retreat to a safe distance and use their friendship as a barrier again. Hadrian withdrew his fingers, the loud popping sound making her blush. He touched her clitoris very gently.
She gasped, her eyes widening, her breath hitching.
“We are not fucking over yet.” He started rubbing her clit.
Oooooh…
She tried to keep herself from getting lost in his touch.
But then he started rubbing her clit faster and harder.
Ooooooh…
She closed her eyes and let it take her away again.
****
Three days had passed since that happened and each day was emptier than the other.
And now this…
He couldn’t stop staring at her. Three fucking days she had ignored him and he had done his best to ignore her back. If she thought he was just a rebound guy and now regretted making out with him, then that was fucking fine with him. Countless girls wanted him. She was just one of the many.
But deep down inside, Hadrian knew it wasn’t true.
Waking up that night alone in his bed, Gabby not answering her phone, had pissed him off. But more than that, it hurt him. Was she ashamed now that she had made out with him? She had always been the goody-two-shoes type, the kind that believed she had to walk down the aisle a virgin. Did she now think he had corrupted her and blamed him for it?
When she actually tried to move around him, her eyes not meeting his, Hadrian snapped. He grabbed her elbow and ignoring her loud protests, he dragged her with him all the way out of school and into the parking lot.
“Let go of me!”
He opened his car door. “Get in.”
“No!”
“I said, get in.”
She didn’t want to do what he said but it was that tone and even now, it was still effective. She got in. He slammed the door shut, hard enough to make her flinch. And then he was getting in from the other door, pressing a button to lock themselves in.
His nearness drove her crazy. It made her remember all those things they did and…oh God!
“What the hell’s eating you?”
“YOU!”
“What the fuck does that mean?” he roared.
Tears struck her eyes. How dare he sound so furious with her? “And you call yourself my friend,” she spat.
He gritted out between clenched teeth, “You’re not making any fucking sense.”
“If you can’t handle the fact that you kissed me, then I’m sorry!” she shouted. “I didn’t ask for your pity! It’s not my fault that you were so filled with pity you kissed me! And then you ignore me, acting like it’s my fault—”
He kissed her, hard, thoroughly, and so beautifully that she could only succumb to it, the familiar taste of his lips addictive.
When Hadrian lifted his head, she asked shakily, “What do you think you’re doing?”
“Taking pity on you,” he answered flatly before kissing her again.
The kiss went on for an eternity. And when he finally allowed her to breathe, she had completely lost the will to fight. “Hadrian,” she whispered.
He looked at her.
She admitted brokenly, “I don’t want you gone from my life again.”
With a groan, he pulled her to his lap and she went to him eagerly, her arms weaving around his neck tightly.
“What happens now?” she whispered against his neck.
“I’m not boyfriend material,” he told her harshly.
She became paralyzed. Oh God, did that mean he would leave her again?
“But…the days you were gone were the fucking worst days of my life.”
She started breathing again.
He tipped her chin up. “So…what do you say we take it day by
day?”
She said unevenly, “I’d…like that.”
He watched her gnaw on her lip and knew she was worried again. “What?” He was doing his best to control himself, knowing they still had stuff to sort out.
“I don’t think…” She took a deep breath. “I’m sorry, but I don’t think I can handle it if you have other girls while we figure out—”
He kissed her. “You don’t have to worry about me wanting anyone else. I’ve been having wet dreams about you for years, baby.”
Her eyes widened. “But—”
Hadrian brought her hand to his cock. “Let me fuck you tonight and you’ll understand how much I want you.”
The rawness of his tone made her gulp and turn red. “Hadrian,” she protested.
“I’ve always been your slave, baby. You just didn’t know it till now.”
The words stunned her, aroused her, but most of all it humbled her that someone like Hadrian would say something like it – for her. She struggled to speak, couldn’t, and so even as her face flushed a deeper shade of red, she did her best to make herself understood by squeezing his cock.
His eyes widened.
She squeezed it harder.
And then he was kissing her, and she sighed in surrender, satisfied that he understood what she could not say.
