But her voice is suddenly soft. Kaya . . . I know you’ve never had a relationship before. I know this is your first time.
I want it to be you, I gasp. Please, Veah. I’m ready.
Kaya . . .
Deflower me, I say breathlessly. Take my virginity. Whatever you call it. I want you inside me, now.
Veah grins, and she slips one finger inside of me. Stretching me.
So demanding, she murmurs.
The heat spreads through my entire body, and her finger curling into that sensitive spot sends me spiraling. I can barely hold onto her as my eyes roll back, my hips writhing in the water. The pressure against that hot, inner spot builds. I can’t take it anymore.
Heaven, I whimper, as the pleasure explodes.
Ecstasy. This has to be ecstasy.
I’ve never felt anything like this before.
The cries that escape me are wild, unrecognizable. She keeps thrusting inside of me with those two fingers, intensifying every wave of pleasure, until it is almost painfuluntil there are tears in my eyes, but I am still begging her, More. More.
I don’t think I’ll ever be able to get enough of her.
I don’t think I’ll ever want to.
If you were ever hurt, if someone ever hurt youI would move heaven and hell to get you back.
But she doesn’t give me time to think about it, because with a strong, protective grip, she lifts me by my waist, right onto the pool’s ledge. Spreading my legs, like she has never wanted to taste anything more in her life.
With the glowing water and the flickering turquoise light, it feels likefor a momentI am in a dream.
Then her tongue finds the wetness buried there.
Dear God.
Oh, fuck. Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck
Fuck !
Hey, God, are you there ?
It’s me, Kaya.
I’m really trying to focus on you and not the three warm fingers sliding inside of me
And the way my hips are bucking, restless, against the heat that builds inside of my core
You know what ? Maybe I should put this conversation on pause.
Sorry, God. I’m going to be MIA all night.
I think I’ve created a monster, Veah says, after the twenty-third time. I am laying in a white bed now, turned onto my stomach, as she squeezes pool water from her hair. Preparing for a shower.
I think it might be dawn.
Personally, I just don’t think sleep is necessary. Why would I sleep when I could be fucking you ?
Veah grins. Kaya, it’s almost five in the morning. You know the plan, don’t you ?
Yes. She explained it to me while her head was between my thighs for the fifth time. Perfectly.
She raises an eyebrow, turning on the shower. Fresh water sluices down the glass panels.
Veah, I moan.
Her eyes snap to mine.
I knew it.
If you don’t come here and let me taste you, I’m just going to have to sit here. Burning with lust. You wouldn’t want that, would you ?
So demanding. Her eyes are twinkling. I think you’ll be fine for twenty minutes while I take a shower.
What if I showered with you ?
Her eyes narrow, dark again with that wanton need. And I take that as my answer by jumping up and undoing my bathrobe. Letting her see exactly what it is she has been missing for the past three minutes.
An hour later, Veah’s tattooed fingers curl in the white bedsheets. I am figuring out the art of making her come, and I feel powerful. Seeing someone so dangerous, so terrifying, moaning my name . . . it’s intoxicating.
I love the way her eyes close, her head thrown back. I can tell she likes to be in control, but for me . . . for me, she’s willing to push past those boundaries. So when she climaxes, her knuckles turning white, fisting the sheets . . .
Fuck. It turns me on, all over again.
Which might be how we’ve ended up in this cycle.
Every time I try to sleepor, at least, every time she tells me we shouldall I have to do is take one look at her. Her eyes flare with lust, and just the thought of her as mine is enough that I could almost tackle her.
Maybe it’s the tension that has simmered between us for weeks.
Maybe it’s the fact that I’ve denied thisdenied herfor so long that now I can’t get enough.
I don’t really care. I just want her, touching me, right now.
Does that sound a little possessive ?
Kaya, Veah says, after four more rounds. We really, really need to sleep.
What’s wrong ? I say innocently, trailing one finger over her sharp jaw. Was fucking all night not part of your plan ?
You’re insatiable, you know that ?
And you love it, I tease, draping one leg over her, so that I am straddling her.
Veah catches my hand. We need to sleep, she growls.
Just one more time ?
Her eyes flicker. I can tell the exact moment she gives in, because she flips me over, so that I am beneath her. Both hands on either side of me, her dark hair just touching my chest, she slowly brings her lips against my jaw. Dragging her mouth down my neck, my chest, between my breasts.
Once more, she swears.
And she makes good on her promise, by bringing me to a climax so powerful my entire body is limp by the time she’s done.
With a dark, satisfied smileand my legs still tremblingVeah kisses the top of my head and whispers, Goodnight.
Wake up.
I throw my arm over my eyes. Now who’s the insatiable one ?
