CHAPTER 6
MARLOWE
I held my breath, waiting for some sort of reaction from Viper. I’d just bared my heart and soul and he stood there, not even blinking.
“Say something… please,” I whispered, unable to stand the silence a second longer.
He cleared his throat and swallowed. “You came back for me.”
“That’s right.” I nodded, wondering if I’d misread the signals he’d been sending me.
His lips crashed down on mine, stealing my breath away. This kiss was different from the one before. It was hungrier, more desperate. Almost like we both had been holding back all our feelings for the past ten years and had finally let them free.
Viper picked me up again and headed toward the bedroom. He tripped over the edge of the rug on the way and almost sent both of us flying. My elbow bumped against the doorframe, and I mumbled an “ouch” before my words were swallowed up in another kiss.
“Sorry about that.” He set me on the edge of the bed, and I pulled him down on top of me.
I didn’t want to think about what this might mean for our friendship or worry about anything beyond this moment. I’d imagined it so many times in my head, but having him hover over me, his mouth seeking mine and his hands in my hair, was infinitely better.
He rolled over, pulling me with him. His hands moved under my shirt and glided over my belly. I tensed, too self aware of my middle to let him go on.
“You’re so fucking beautiful, Lo Lo. You have no idea how many times I’ve pictured us just like this.”
I’d learned the hard way that men could be fickle and vile and might say anything in the heat of the moment to get what they wanted. But I believed in Viper. He’d always been honest with me, even when it hurt. I could trust him with my heart.
My muscles relaxed. I forced the self-doubt out of my head and listened to my heart instead.
His lips moved from my mouth to my neck as his fingers worked on the clasp of my bra. My nipples were already hard and my clit was throbbing with need. I shifted on top of him, my hips searching for friction to alleviate the ache between my legs.
“Not so fast.” Viper rolled us over again, so that we laid on our sides facing each other. “I want to take my time with you, Lo. We only get to do this for the first time once, and I want to make sure we both remember it forever.”
“Or,”—I smiled at him in the low light—“the sooner we do it the first time, the sooner we can do it a second and third.”
His chuckle rumbled through his chest. “There’s plenty of time for seconds and thirds. Now that you’re back, we’ve got a lifetime ahead of us.”
A lifetime… I loved the sound of that. With my bra no longer tight around my chest, I wriggled my arms free. Viper eased my shirt over my head, and I rolled onto my back to start working my joggers down my legs.
“Let me.” He took over, his fingers tugging my pants and my granny panties down to my feet. If I’d known I was going to end up in bed with my best friend this afternoon, I definitely would have worn my good underwear. Viper didn’t seem to mind or even notice as he peeled my pants off my legs and tossed them on the floor.
Naked as the day I was born, I shivered as he worked his way back up my body. Each kiss brought on a wave of goosebumps and sent heat racing to my core. I was already close to coming, and he hadn’t even touched me where I craved it the most.
“That’s my girl.” His tongue danced along my thigh. Viper nudged my legs further apart and settled his broad shoulders between them. One hand reached up and ghosted over my nipple. The other slid under my ass and lifted my hips. The touch of his tongue on my clit made my hips buck while fire raced through my veins. When I didn’t think I could take another second, he thrust his tongue inside me. Stars exploded against the backs of my eyelids.
Viper
I’d never tasted anything as sweet as Marlowe’s pussy. I lapped at her sweet core like my life depended on it. Until her fingers tugged at my hair and her hips fell back onto the bed.
“Where did you learn to do that?” she asked. “No, don’t tell me. I don’t want to know.”
I let out a laugh. “The past doesn’t matter. Would it make you feel better if I told you the only pussy I want to taste for the rest of my life is yours?”
She tugged me up until we faced each other. “Yes, that helps. But I bet we’d both feel better if you showed me what you’ve been hiding in your pants all this time. I can feel it pressing up against my leg.”
“You think you’re ready for me?” I smoothed her hair back from her face. My cock was so damn hard it bordered on painful.
“Am I not wet enough for you already?”
Fuck, I loved this sexy siren she’d been hiding away inside. I slipped my finger between her legs, knowing she was already soaking wet. Then I lifted it to my mouth and sucked her sweetness clean.
“Still want to take things slow?” She arched her brow.
“You know, there are several other things you could do with that mouth other than sass me.” It took every bit of willpower I had to not rip off my clothes and take her hard. But I wanted our first time together to last.
“And there are several other things you could do with that cock than tease me,” she quipped back.
I knew it would be good between us, but I’d underestimated how much her filthy mouth would turn me on. It only took me a few seconds to get naked.
“Do I need to use a condom, Lo?” My cock jutted out, aching to engage.
Her eyes widened slightly as her gaze dropped down to my hips. “I’ve got an IUD, so not unless there’s something going on with you.”
“Clean as a whistle,” I said, enjoying the hint of apprehension in her eyes. She’d teased me long enough. Now she was going to have to deal with the repercussions.
“Be gentle, will you?” She laid her head back on the pillow and grabbed onto my shoulders with both hands. “I need to survive our first time if you want to be able to do this again.”
There was nothing gentle about what I wanted to do to her. “Be a good girl and spread your legs, or I’m going to die right now and we won’t get a first time, much less a second.”
Her thighs parted. Thank fuck. I notched the tip of my cock at her entrance, barely able to hold back. Then I eased inside her, one agonizing centimeter at a time. The walls of her pussy fit me like a fucking glove. We were made for each other in every way.
“Damn, Viper. Why the hell does this feel so good?” She angled her hips to take me deeper.
“Because we belong together. You’re my other half, Lo. I let you walk away once, but now you’re mine and I’m never going to let you go.” I held her gaze as I pulled almost all the way out. “If that’s not what you want, you need to tell me now.”
“That's all I want. You and me together. I came back for you.” Her chest rose and fell, dragging my attention away from her face.
I pushed back inside, going deeper than before, as I lowered down to suck one of her tight nipples into my mouth. She gasped and arched into me, taking all of me inside her.
As much as I wanted to savor each second, I couldn’t hold back. I slipped my hand between us, fingering her clit until she clenched around me. Then I let myself go. No matter what happened from that moment forward, we belonged to each other.
