SOMETHING wet splashed onto her feet, and Yumika realized it was the drink she had accidentally dropped the moment Cade had pressed his lips to hers. Her head was spinning, she couldn’t think straight. Her mind questioned what was happening, but her body was screaming otherwise. She followed what her body told her to—kissed him back.
When she responded, his kiss deepened. Her arms instinctively wrapped around his neck. And when Cade noticed she was nearly out of breath, he let go—only to gaze at her lips, now red and glistening from his kisses.
“And friends definitely shouldn’t be thinking of repeating that,” he continued, panting.
“Cade—”
She couldn’t finish speaking because he claimed her lips again. She gasped. Yumika could feel his hardness pressing against her. It should have frightened her, but it didn’t—instead, it only ignited her desire even more. She felt herself as hungry as he was. Nothing else mattered that moment, just him. Only Cade.
He lifted her up, and she immediately wrapped her legs around his waist. Cade’s lips never left hers. She felt him walking but she wasn’t really fully aware where he was taking her. Her mind went blank the moment she felt his hands on her ass as he was lifting her.
Then, everything happened so fast. The next thing she knew, Cade was lowering her onto the soft bed.
“I want you, Mika,” he whispered as he slowly undressed her, and she let him. She didn’t utter a single word, nor a protest—she just arched her body as he removed the last piece of clothing from her.
There was no time for shyness as she lay there completely naked, Cade touching, kissing, and tasting her. He murmured how sweet, how soft she was, and Yumika could only moan in response. When he positioned himself in between her legs, a tiny shriek came out of her mouth. She wanted to protest as no one had ever gone down on her before. But at the same time, her body was anticipating it. It was as if he knew what her body wanted because he smirked before bringing his head down to her warmth. She writhed, gripping his hair for dear life as he brought her to ecstasy with his tongue. The sensation was too much, and yet she couldn’t get enough.
Just when she thought it was over, she felt his fingers coaxing her, teasing her entrance. His fingers were just there, giving light caresses, not fully entering her. When she thought she couldn’t take the teasing anymore, she wrapped her hand on his wrist and silently urged him, her eyes pleading, his name rolling off her tongue. Then, he entered her with his fingers causing her to gasp at the sensation.
“You’re tight...” she heard him say but she could only moan his name again. A moment later, he brought her to the peak again. Yumika couldn’t hold back her cries. Cade smiled, clearly enjoying the sounds she made.
Cade moved away between her legs, only to undress himself. She watched in slow motion as he disregarded all of his clothing. Her breath was caught in her throat when she saw how hard and ready he was. He was big to begin with, and she wasn’t sure if he would fit.
“It will fit,” he whispered as he crawled on top of her. It was as if he read her mind.
“Cade…” she whispered his name, biting her lip in the process, as she felt his hardness at her entrance.
He paused, locking eyes with her. “Do you want me to stop?”
Yumika shook her head. “No, I don’t want you to stop. Just...be gentle, please.” She looked into his eyes. “I have never done this before.” She admitted shyly.
He kissed the tip of her nose. “I won’t hurt you, I promise,” he said, and she nodded.
She bit her lip as she felt him slowly entering her, gasping aloud at the initial sting. He kissed her moans but didn’t go all the way in—he was gentle, truly gentle, just as he promised. He waited for her to adjust, and once her body accepted him, he withdrew and thrust again, going a little deeper each time until he filled her completely.
“Oh, Cade, you feel so good,” she said, squeezing him involuntarily.
“Mika…” he moaned, closing his eyes as if trying to control himself. He peppered sweet little kisses from her jaw down to her throat. Yumika realized it was just a distraction, because he suddenly moved at a steadier pace.
Together, they found their rhythm, their bodies glistening with sweat. She met every thrust in perfect sync with his movements.
Cade was a selfless, generous lover. He brought her to the edge twice, aiming for a third—this time, he was coming together with her. She arched into him, craving more and deeper, and he gave it to her without hesitation.
“I love you, Cade!” she cried, her legs squeezing tighter around him as she climaxed. He buried his face in the crook of her neck. He thrust once more and tensed, his groan resonating as he came too. He captured her lips once more, and she moaned into the kiss. He pulled her close as they lay side by side. She could feel his gaze on her, but she wasn’t ready to speak.
“Mika—”
She cut him off. “No, Cade, please. I just… I just want to lay here beside you and not talk about anything.”
He sighed and didn’t argue. “Let’s talk in the morning,” he said. She felt him kiss her hair as he wrapped his arms around her. Yumika closed her eyes, trying to hold back her tears. She let her feelings spill out in the throes of their passion, speaking the words quickly because her stubborn heart wanted nothing more than to stay right where she was—by his side, forever.
