His fingers lift my chin to look up at him. “Lucy?—”

“Will you teach me?”

“Fucking hell… just seeing you on your knees in front of me is enough to make me come.”

I flick my tongue out and lick the tip. It’s soft, like velvet, and tastes like water and salt.

He groans. “Lucy… God… Put the tip in your mouth and suck. Like a lollipop.”

I do as he says.

“Fuck, fuck, fuck…” His hips rock. “Baby… it won’t take long.”

A powerful feeling overcomes me. It’s like feminine power. I hold this man’s pleasure in my hands. He’s surrendered it to me. Feeling bolder, I wrap my hand around his dick and stroke as I suck, taking more of him in my mouth.

“Yesss… oh, fuck… Lucy…” I glance up, and his head has dropped back. The cords in his neck are taut, straining.

Then he looks down at me. The desire, the need in his eyes encourages me on. “Feel that?” he manages to say through gritted teeth. “My dick has never been so hard. Fuck…” His head rocks back again, and his hips rock at a faster, shorter pace.

A moment later, he pulls away, and I look up at him, wondering if I did something wrong.

“Hold up your tits, baby.”

I do as he asks. He strokes himself until he growls and his cum shoots out, covering my breasts. It shocks me at first, but then I’m fascinated by the thick, creamy liquid. I rub my fingers over it. I bring a finger to my mouth to taste it.

“Holy hell…” He keeps stroking, and more cum sprays over me.

Finally, he reaches down, taking my arm and hauling me up. He presses me against the tiled wall. “Is the top of my head still there?”

I look, not understanding what he’s saying.

“Because you just blew my mind.”

I feel the praise through my entire body. I realize at that moment that my walls have been completely demolished. There’s no doubt about it. When this is done, I’ll be heartbroken. But I also know that I can’t do anything but take what I can from Donovan while I can. I’m going to experience the thrills and joys he brings and savor them. I’m going to sear the memories into my brain so that when it’s over and our lives go back in their own directions, I’ll be able to conjure them up when I need to be reminded of what it feels like to be in love.

DONOVAN

On my eighteenth birthday, Niko and Liam paid a woman to give me a blowjob. I wasn’t a virgin. I’d fucked before. But I’d never had a woman suck me off. When it was done, I couldn’t imagine ever feeling as good or coming as hard ever again in my life.

I’d had some interesting sexual encounters since then, but seeing Lucy on her knees with those plump lips of hers wrapped around my cock, fucking hell, I’ve never been so hard in my life.

We finish the shower, and once we dry off, I pick her up and carry her into the bedroom. I lay her on the bed and then hunt down my clothes for my wallet. Please, God, let me have a condom—maybe two—stashed away.

“Are you all right?” she asks when I return.

I hold up the condom. “Now I am. As soon as my cock recovers, I want to get inside you.”

The blush that comes to her cheeks is adorable.

“In the meantime…” I climb into bed next to her and pull her close. Lucy's head rests on my chest, her breaths even and slow against my skin. I trace circles on her bare shoulder, feeling thewarmth from her body seep into mine. This is fucking awesome. And unexpected.

I replay the moment in the bathroom when words spilled out of me.

I meant the vows I made to you.

I’ve only ever wanted you.
