KATIE

A muscle bunched in his jaw as he growled, "Did you learn to move your hips like that when you were pole dancing?"

"Yeah, and I would have studied harder if I knew I'd be able to put those lessons to good use with you later, even though I didn't know you back then." Tilting my head to the side, I realized I'd never mentioned those classes to him. "Wait a second, how did you even know about that?"

"It was one of the stories your brother told me about you."

I rolled my eyes at his answer even though I should've expected it. "Did he mention that it was a pole dancing class in the middle of the day without an audience of any kind?"

"Nope." Some of the tension left his muscular body as he sat on the edge of my bed. "Jesse forgot to mention that part, which isn't a surprise since it didn't take me long to learn that he has blinders on when it comes to you. Your brother doesn't see the woman you've grown into, but I do."

Although I loved that he knew me well enough to see past the fun-loving persona, I had to wonder about the motivation behind how he'd approached whatever this thing was between us. "Is that why you decided to be my secret admirer? Because you weren't sure about me after all the crap my brother had to say about how flighty and irresponsible I was?"

"Fuck no." He shook his head as he leaned forward, resting his forearms on his thighs. "I already figured out how wrong he was about you before I left your parents' house after Christmas."

His denial soothed some of my hurt feelings. But not all. "Why did you do it then?"

"Jesse isn't just my best friend. He's also my business partner. I didn't want to burn any bridges between us if it could be avoided." His eyes burned into mine as he added, "When we tell him about us, I want to be able to say that we took our time getting to know each other before I made you mine. And that sure as fuck wasn't going to be possible if I'd been anywhere near you for the past couple of months."

That was an explanation I could accept, especially since he was risking a lot to be with me. And I couldn't argue with the results when I had a feeling we wouldn't have gotten to know each other half as well if we'd spent all those weeks in bed together instead. "Am I that irresistible?"

His gaze raked down the length of my body, desire smoldering in his dark blue eyes. "You're all the way over there because if you were any closer, I wouldn't be able to keep my hands off you."

"Then let's get this conversation over with so you can touch me all you want." I circled my hand in the air in a gesture for him to hurry up.

"If you're cool with why I went the secret admirer route, then we're already halfway done." I nodded, and his lips curved into a satisfied smirk. "The only other thing I need to make sure of before I sink my cock into your tight pussy is that you understand what this means."

A sensual shiver raced down my spine as I grinned at him. "I'm hoping it'll mean lots and lots of orgasms. I've been waiting my whole life to have one that I didn't give myself."

"I'll give you all the orgasms you can handle from now on," he promised, getting to his feet to stalk toward me. "But they come with a price, baby."

I squeezed my thighs together, trying to ease the ache in my core. "And what's that?"

"You'll be mine." He lifted my left hand and pressed a kiss to my ring finger.

I'd wanted nothing more since he'd saved me from falling down my parents' steps. "That's a price I'm more than willing to pay, as long as you'll be mine right back."

"I'm already yours." Tightening his hold on my hand, he yanked me to my feet before striding over to the bed. "And it's finally time for me to take what's been mine all along."

A pulse of anticipation swept through my body as I kicked off my heels before tugging his shirt from his waistband. It didn't take long until we were almost naked—me in only my bra and panties and him in a pair of black boxer briefs that were stretched over a huge hard-on—and tangled together on top of my sheets. I gripped his biceps as his head dropped low, his mouth crashing over mine. When my lips parted, his tongue swept inside. This kiss was better than anything that had come before with so much of his hot skin pressed against me.

When he dragged his mouth from mine, I dug my nails into the bunched muscles in his arms and whimpered, "No, don't stop kissing me."

"Wasn't planning on it." He flashed me a sexy smirk before gliding his lips down my jawline. "But there are other places I'm interested in kissing, too."

"Oh, yes," I sighed as he licked over the pulse point in the groove of my neck, my inner walls clenching at the sensual promise in his tone. Twisting my head to the side to give him better access, I moaned when he nipped at my skin.

"You want to see what I can do with my lips on your gorgeous body, don't you, baby?" he murmured, kissing his way down my chest. His tongue trailed over the edge of my lacy bra. "What it'll feel like when I suck your pretty nipples deep into my mouth. Graze my teeth over your clit. Stick my tongue inside your tight hole and finally get a taste of your sweetness."

My back arched off the mattress so he could reach underneath my back to unclasp my bra as I whimpered, "Less talk, more action. I've been waiting a long time for you to do all of that."

I felt his lips curve up before they left my skin so he could remove my bra. Then he wrapped them around one of my puckered nipples, and I felt the tug of his lips all the way in my core. I let out a little whimper of need, making him chuckle as he released my nipple. "You like that, baby? You're gonna love how it feels when I have my mouth on your pussy."

He switched to the other side to flick his tongue over the pebbled tip of that breast before moving down my belly. My breath caught in my lungs when he kissed me over the center of my panties, my butt lifting off the mattress. Sawyer's hands glided down my sides to wrap in the scraps of lace at my hips, fisting the material and ripping my panties from my body.

"Dang, those were one of my favorite pairs."

He lifted his head to smirk at me. "Then I guess I'll have to figure out a way to make their loss up to you."

I nodded. "Uh-huh, and it better be good."

"I can do a fuck of a lot better than good, baby." Gripping my hips, he pressed me down against the mattress as he wedged his broad shoulders between my thighs. "I'm going to eat your pretty pussy until you come a couple of times, and then I'm going to pop your cherry so I can fuck another orgasm out of you."

He stroked his palms up my inner thighs, framing my pussy with them as he spread my lower lips apart. I felt his hot breath against my core, and then his tongue swiped through my center. Just the barest touch of his tongue, and I was already close to the edge. I hadn't experienced anything like this before, but I never wanted it to end.

Threading my fingers through his hair, I rode Sawyer's face while he ate my pussy like candy. He ruthlessly used his lips, tongue, and teeth to bring me to the brink of an orgasm. Writhing beneath him, I panted, "So good."

"Let go for me, baby," he rasped. "I want to hear you shout my name while you fill my mouth with your sweet release."

He pinched my clit and speared his tongue into my core. My body was flooded with intense pleasure as my release roared through me. "Sawyer!"

"That's it, Katie. Come for me." He started to work a finger into my channel, barely letting me come down from my orgasm before he pushed me right back up again. My second release was more powerful than the first, and my body was still shuddering when Sawyer got to his knees. He shoved his boxer briefs down his legs, his thick cock bobbing with excitement, a drop of pre-come glistening at the tip.

I licked my lip, wondering what it would taste like. But my curiosity would have to wait for another time because he quickly covered my body and notched his hard length at my entrance. His blue eyes were filled with so much passion and so much need. And it was all for me. "You ready to be claimed by my cock, baby?"

"Yes. Please, yes." I lifted my knees to cradle his hips between them and stroked my palms down his back, my nails digging into his taut flesh to urge him on.

He inched his way into my wet heat, going slow because my muscles clamped down on him. I was expecting it to hurt more, but I didn't feel any pain until he pulled his hips back only to thrust inside without any warning. Anchoring himself deep, he stilled. "Shit. Fuck. Sorry, baby."

I offered him a weak smile as I breathed through the pain. "It's not your fault it hurts."

"I know, but I hate the idea that I'm the reason you're in pain." He brushed his lips against mine before kissing the tears from my cheeks.

I wiggled my hips and was relieved to feel a spark of pleasure. "I guess you have more to make up to me now, don't you?"

"That I do, baby." Gripping one of my knees, he lifted my leg higher and slipped deeper inside. Then he started moving in and out of me, slowly at first before gaining so much speed that he was practically drilling me into the mattress. I reveled in his lack of control, my body drawn taut as my headboard slammed against the wall.

At this angle, his dick kept stroking against my G-spot, and it wasn't long before it felt as though fireworks went off in my body, and I was screaming his name again. Only this time, he came with me. "That's it, baby, squeeze that tight pussy and make me come. Good girl. Fuck! Yes!"

My worst Valentine's Day had turned into the best—all because my brother's best friend who I was head over heels for also happened to be my secret admirer. And orgasms. Lots and lots of orgasms. Just like Sawyer had promised.
