I could faintly hear Inferno praising me as he stroked my hair and kissed my lips almost tenderly. My ears roared, and I struggled to catch my breath. Through it all, Inferno helped me come down gently until I finally relaxed into his embrace.
“There’s the birthday girl. Back with me?”
I stared up at him wide-eyed and completely stunned. “Wow.”
He chuckled as he kissed me again. “I take it you approve?” I loved that I tasted myself on his kiss and if that made me a little weird, I’d wear that label with pride.
“Um… Not sure?” I tried to give him a contemplative look. “Might have to do it again so I can make sure.”
“Oh, you’re a little brat, aren’t you?” He reached for the nightstand for protection which he used to sheath his cock. Then he was back over me, one hand braced beside my head, the other guiding himself to the entrance of my pussy. I pulled him down by the back of the neck for another kiss.
“Set the pace, birthday girl,” he said against my lips. “I got you.”
I rolled my hips up to meet him. We moved together, increasingly rough and fast and a little desperate on both our parts. The bed frame knocked the wall as Inferno fucked me with more and more powerful thrusts. He nipped my collarbone, one arm under my thigh. Never had I experienced sex like this. I could barely catch my breath. Even though he said I was in charge, all I could do was hang on to him, clutching his shoulders and taking all he had to give.
He caught my left arm at one point, pinned it above my head, and pressed his mouth to the inside of my forearm right over the faded burn scars. Never slowing his thrusts, Inferno shivered as he traced the burn scar with his tongue.
I screamed as I came again, and he followed a few thrusts later with a groan he tried to muffle against my shoulder and mostly failed. For a second neither of us moved. His weight pressed me into the mattress, heavy and warm and real. Inside, I think I was stunned. Right here, currently sweating and collapsed on top of me, was a man who’d given me more pleasure in a very short period of time than I’d ever experienced. No man had ever gone down on me, certainly not Brett.
He rolled to the side eventually, taking me with him. We lay there looking at each other. My heart wouldn’t slow down. Sweat cooled along my arms and shoulders.
“You good?” he asked, brushing a few strands of hair away from my sweat-dampened face.
“Better than good.” I meant it more than I could express.
He pulled me more securely against him and rolled more solidly onto his back. I rested my head on his chest as he held me. I didn’t really know what to do because I’d never actually… cuddled before. And I fucking craved it.
I’m not sure how long we lay there. I must have dozed off because the next thing I knew, Inferno slid from underneath me. I made a murmur of protest, but he leaned down to brush his lips over my temple.
“Hush, birthday girl. I’ll be right back. Just lie there and rest.” When my eyes drifted shut, I heard him again. “That’s my girl.” He pulled a blanket over me, covering me from feet to my shoulders.
A few minutes later he returned with a glass of water and a plain white T-shirt in the other hand. At some point he’d thrown on some boxers. Sitting on the edge of the bed, he handed me the water.
I scooted up, keeping the blanket over my breasts as I drank half the glass in one go. I wasn’t too proud to admit I might have screamed enough to need the damned water. He set the glass on the nightstand.
“Here.” He tossed the shirt onto the bed beside me. “Figured you didn’t want to sleep in that dress.”
I pulled it over my head. It swallowed me whole and smelled like him. I liked it more than I wanted to admit.
“Your car’s probably already out front. Tiny wouldn’t delay once Darby or Sully asked him. You’re welcome to leave whenever you want. Nobody here’s gonna stop you. Understand?”
I nodded, throat tight for reasons I didn’t examine too closely. “Yeah. Thanks.”
The room was dimly lit. I saw the tender smile on Inferno’s face and realized no one had ever looked at me with that expression. Like I mattered and there was no other person he’d rather be with in this moment.
He tilted his head and his brow knit together in slight confusion. “You can stay as long as you like, though. If you do, I’d like it to be with me.”
I exhaled a breath all in a rush. “Yeah. I wouldn’t really want to stay with anyone else.”
