Should’ve Known It’s You (Not You Again #7)

CHAPTER 19

AUSTIN

I leaned against her, feeling when she gave in. With every stroke of my tongue against hers, her body softened and melted into me as she forgot about all the bad things that had happened today.

My heart started hammering against my ribs. My body responded to the pull of hers. I held her tighter to me, kissing her hungrily while simultaneously thanking the heavens above that I finally had my lips on hers again.

Kennedy tempted me every minute we spent together, and kissing her now was like sinking into cool water on a sweltering hot day, a relief that was instantaneous and visceral. I reached for the hem of her top and slid my fingers underneath it to run the backs of them across her soft skin.

She trembled against me, a soft moan sliding out of her. She touched her fingertips to my cheeks and smiled against my mouth. “You’re really good at these distractions.”

I chuckled. “I’m about to get even better.”

As I said it, I walked her backward, stealing hard and hot kisses until she was backed up against the counter on the other side of her small kitchen. Raising her hands above her head, I pressed them against the cabinet there, breaking our kisses only to speak between them.

“Keep them there,” I murmured before lowering my head to her throat.

As I dragged my lips across her skin, I worked her shirt off over her head. Groaning, I dropped it on the floor. Kenny leaned her head against my shoulder, and I glanced down to see her eyes were closed, her lips parted, and her breathing shallow.

A smile appeared on her lips as she cracked one of her eyes open, her hands still held above her head. “Why are you staring at me?”

I laughed. “Because you’re gorgeous.” I moved my hands to her hips, gripping them with my eyes locked on hers. “Do you want to stop?”

“No.”

Grinning, I ran my hands up her sides and traced her full curves lightly, loving the feel of her skin under my fingertips. She shivered a little and closed her eyes again. Her breathing sped up as she finally lowered her hands to grip the counter behind her.

As I watched her face, I brushed my palms over her breasts. Lust hit me square in the cock when she sucked in a sharp breath in response. Shit, that’s hot.

Fighting to grab hold of my self-control, I resisted the urge to unhook her white cotton bra and instead slowly moved my hands back down again. Kenny’s breathing became louder when I let my fingertips sink into the waistband of her pants. I ran the backs of my fingers across her pelvis, but then I pulled them out again, continuing my exploration of her abdomen until she was practically panting in my arms.

My own breathing was labored too, my heartbeat out of control and my dick trying to punch through the zipper of my jeans. As much as I was enjoying the slow, sexy tease, it was time to kick things into a higher gear.

Dragging a hand up to her breast, I felt her nipple harden under my palm and I pinched it between my fingers, immediately catching her chin in my free hand and lifting it up so that she faced me. Her eyes had flown open at my pinch and I saw the desire in them. She wrapped her arm around my neck and pulled me to her for another hard kiss.

As soon as my mouth slammed into hers, I hooked an arm around her and undid her bra, hurriedly sliding the straps from her shoulders. It dropped to the floor. Kenny let me take charge as if she’d been born to follow where I led.

Ready to get down to business, she kissed me back. I pushed my fingers into her waistband once more, but this time, I flicked open the button and quickly tugged at the short zipper underneath it. She wiggled to help me along. The movement of her pelvis against my aching cock was almost too much to bear.

I pushed her pants down fast and took her panties with them, with a little more helpful wiggling from Kennedy. She kicked off her shoes too, as eager as I was. Then she started returning the favor, her hands trembling as she rushed to get me naked too.

Her fingers moved from one button of my shirt to the next. Our kisses grew harder and faster as she undressed me. Soon there was nothing left between us and our bodies were pressed tightly together. Her chest rose and fell fast against my own until our breathing seemed to sync up. Her hands shot up into my hair, sending shivers through me.

My mind raced, trying to remember the layout of her kitchen. If I tried getting her up on the counter behind her, she’d bang her head on the cabinet I’d pressed her hands against earlier. Nothing could stop sexy time like a concussion. So that was right out.

Thinking fast, I remembered the counter beside the door had nothing above it. Triumphantly, I wrapped her ponytail around my fist, using that and my body to guide her to where we needed to go.

When I opened my eyes, breaking our furious kiss to check we were in the right spot, she blinked up at me, a dazed look in her own eyes as she frowned. “What are we doing?”

“Hop on up.” I pushed her hips against the counter and braced to lift her when she jumped.

Stunned, I looked at her sitting on her kitchen counter, totally naked and so sexy that my teeth sank into my lip. Kenny’s pupils were so dilated that there was almost no iris left. As she looked at me, she spread her legs open wider, then cocked her head like she was daring me to make the next move.

I arched an eyebrow at her and smirked as I accepted the challenge. Taking a step forward, I ran my fingers up the smooth skin of her thighs, pausing before I reached the apex of them. She was still breathing hard, her lips swollen from our kisses and parted as she watched what I was doing.

I took her chin in my hand, wanting her eyes on mine when I pushed my fingers into her. Finally sliding my hand up to her pussy, I groaned when I felt how wet she was.

Soft and soaked, she felt like a slice of heaven on my fingers, and seeing the way her brow furrowed as I slid them through her folds was even better. She gasped when I touched her clit, her lips parting a little more as her head dropped back.

Intently watching her every reaction to me, I pushed a finger into her, taking note of every gasp, shudder, and moan. When I found spots that were particularly sensitive, she clamped down on my fingers, the look in her eyes wild and desperate as she moaned my name.

“Austin, I need?—”

I gave her what she needed and she hissed and screwed her eyes shut. Unable to control the sounds I was making, I moaned whenever she did, which was a lot as she got closer and closer to the edge. Aching to get inside her, I brought my thumb up to her clit, rubbing tight little circles around it until I felt the moment she shattered.

Watching and feeling her come was the hottest fucking thing I’d ever experienced and I nearly lost it myself as she milked my fingers, gushing around them as her hips bucked. Incomprehensible words fell from her lips as her gorgeous face contorted in pleasured agony. Her hands gripped the edge of the countertop behind her.

As she finally started coming back down to earth, I sealed my mouth over hers, kissing her gently. Her body collapsed against my own. I gave her a minute to recover, but my very blood was roaring with need. I was nowhere near ready for this to end. When she reached for me, I shook my head, even though I was throbbing, and sank to my knees instead.

I glanced up at her. Her skin was flushed a beautiful pink as she watched me without saying a word. She didn’t question me as I pushed her knees apart again, tenderly pressing my lips to the inside of her thighs.

Ever since that first time we’d hooked up, we’d been pretty in sync physically and it felt like she was happy to keep letting me hold the reins. I kissed her skin, stoking the fire inside her again. She closed her eyes and leaned back on the counter, holding her weight on her elbows.

Kenny definitely had a way of giving me exactly what I needed without me having to say a single word and I groaned, my cock begging for attention I wouldn’t get just yet. I couldn’t stop my hips from rocking as I moved my mouth to her core, though.

My eyes locked on hers as I ran my tongue through her folds, and though her brow had furrowed again, she nodded in response to my silent question. Relief skated down my spine. She was good with this. Fine to keep ratcheting up the tension until neither of us could stand it.

Writhing and moaning, I licked and sucked to my heart’s content. She kept her gaze on mine until she couldn’t anymore. Her eyes screwed shut when I felt her nearing the edge again and I finally realized I couldn’t take it anymore either.

I pulled away and Kenny cried out, her eyes flying open just in time to see me pushing myself back up to my feet. She wrapped her arms around me without saying a word, letting me kiss her and not seeming to mind the taste of herself on my lips.

I was about to thrust into her when I remembered we needed a condom. With a growl, I broke away from her to quickly track down my pants and pull my wallet out of the back pocket. She was still panting as she watched me tear the wrapper open and roll it on. Then she spread her legs for me once more when I walked back to her.

Kenny let out a soft sigh when I stepped between her legs. Her eyes were on mine as she wrapped her fingers around my length. Her palm stroked me, and she watched me carefully. I growled again and my hips moved of their own volition, needing more of that delicious friction.

She gave me a playful squeeze and I hissed. Bringing my fingers to her wrist, I stopped her movements and pushed forward until my tip was nestled at the hot, slick entrance of her. I brought my hands to her hips to steady her.

She smiled and wrapped her legs around my ass. “Don’t worry. I won’t fall.”

“If you do, we’ll fall together,” I murmured and pushed into her, sliding home in one hard thrust instead of persisting with the slow build-up from before.

Her calves tightened against my butt. At her encouragement, I set a rapid, punishing pace, grateful that there wasn’t much maneuvering required on account of the height of the counter.

Leaning over, my lips found hers and I kissed her, perhaps a little more sloppily than usual, but her channel was pulsing around me, and it was difficult to focus on anything else.

She let out throaty moans that robbed me of my thoughts and every ounce of my control, and when she came again, I couldn’t hold back either. The climax tore through me. Explosive bursts of pleasure shot to my extremities while Kenny bucked against me.

My knees nearly gave out with the force of the orgasm, but I managed to stay upright, panting and weak in the aftermath.

She opened her eyes and smiled lazily at me. “I’ve definitely found a favorite new distraction,” she said breathlessly, chuckling as she pulled me down on the counter with her.

I laughed, the sound husky and muffled as I lay with my head in the crook of her neck, my upper body folded over hers. “Yeah, it doesn’t get any better than this, does it?”

“I don’t know,” she teased. “Now that we’re done in the kitchen, how do you feel about the shower?”

“Jeez, woman. Give a guy to minute to recover, but then you’re on. I happen to like showers, but only if we can get a couple of hours sleep after. I’m beat. That was a pretty big day.”

She turned her head into my hair and kissed my temple. “It was a huge day, but you’re on. Let’s go get cleaned up, and then we’ll see if you’re still in the mood for sleep after.”
