He grinned when he saw my underwear. “Iron Man? Really?”

“Every girl wants Tony Stark a.k.a. Robert Downey Jr. in her pants.”

He snorted. “Well, I’m the one getting into your pants so…”

“Robert was here first.” I snapped the band of my underwear.

He growled and with a sharp pull he removed them as well.

I pouted. “You better not have ripped those. They’re my favorite pair.”

“I’ll buy you new ones,” he promised, covering my body with the heat of his as he kissed me all over.

My fingers tangled in his unruly mane of hair when his mouth found my center. “Oh God,” I panted in a long moan.

Lights sparkled behind my closed lids as his tongue swirled around and around. It had been far too long since I’d had sex and my body was overly sensitive to every stroke of his tongue and fingers. I felt like a rocket, ready to go off at any second once the right button was pushed.

“Ezra.” I panted his name like a prayer.

I felt him smile against me and his fingers crooked inside me.

“Oh God,” I moaned as my orgasm hit me. My whole body shook and he held tightly to my thighs so I couldn’t get away.

He kissed his way back up my body and took my lips between his own. My heart pounded in my chest like a caged bird fighting to get free.

With shaky hands I framed his face.

“I want you inside me,” I begged. I’d been waiting for this moment for what felt like years, and now that it was here I didn’t want to wait a second longer.

“Eager, are we?” He chuckled, kissing the sensitive skin behind my ear.

“Very.”

He kissed me again, long and deep, imbedding himself on my heart and soul. I would never be the same after this, but I couldn’t stop it. I didn’t want to. I needed this—I needed him—more than I needed my next breath.

Once my lips were tender from his kisses he pulled away from me and stood up.

I swallowed thickly and watched as he walked the two short steps over to his bedside table and grabbed a condom.

The rush of my blood roared through my ears as it raced towards my heart.

He stood in front of me, his eyes capturing mine as he reached down and undid his belt oh-so slowly. Next, his fingers went to the button and then the sound of the zipper going down on his jeans filled the silence between us.

He reached out, grazing his fingers against my bare thigh and I shivered.

Raising a brow he stepped forward and bent down so his lips brushed my ear when he spoke. “This will change everything.”

“This changes nothing.”

Neither one of us believed my words, but both of us were too needy to back out now.

He crawled back until he towered above me once more.

I held my breath in anticipation of what was to come.

He kicked off his jeans and removed his boxer-briefs, leaving himself bare to my viewing pleasure. I licked my lips and he chuckled.

“Like what you see, sweetheart?”

I sat up and my hands landed on his chest. His skin was heated and his heart beat as fast as mine. At least I wasn’t the only one affected and we’d barely even started.

My eyes flicked down taking in the impressive length of his cock.

Gazing back up at him I said, “I like it…a lot…but don’t call me sweetheart ever again.”

He grinned and stuck the foil condom wrapper between his teeth, ripping it open. “Whatever you say…sweetheart.” He winked.

My heart stuttered and then stopped before picking up speed once more.

“Lay down.” He commanded in a soft voice.

I wasn’t one to take orders, but I listened to him.

Once I was lying down he grabbed my thighs and pulled me to the edge of the bed. He’d already put the condom on, but he didn’t push into me. Instead, he stared down at me and several emotions flashed in his dark eyes. I was terrified that he was going to back out and leave me naked and wanton on his bed, but he didn’t.

He grabbed the base of his cock and guided it inside me.

My body tensed all over at the delicious pleasure coursing through my body.

With one hard thrust he was all the way inside me. We both gasped and then I swore he said, “It’s better than I fucking imagined.”

“What did you say?” I wanted to hear him repeat them so that I’d know I wasn’t crazy.

“Nothing.” His teeth gnashed together and a vein pulsed in his forehead.

His hands tightened around my thighs.

“Uh…Ezra?”

“Yes?” He ground out between his teeth, his head ducked so that his dark curly hair concealed his eyes.

“This is the part where you should be moving your hips. Just saying.”

He let out a breathless chuckle and raised his head to look at me. “Sadie, if I move I’ll blow my load like a fourteen year old kid. Bear with me for a minute.”

“Well, we can’t have that.” I took a deep breath and let my body relax.

He shuddered and slowly pulled back before sinking back inside me.

My eyes closed and a long moan left my parted lips. My hands landed on his shoulders and when I opened my eyes he was staring at me with a look of awe, his mouth slightly parted.

“Kiss me,” I pleaded. Not only was I desperate for the feel of his lips on mine and his stubble rubbing my face, but I needed him to stop looking at me like that, because that look…it showed me more than he was willing to give and I refused to get my hopes up.

He brushed his lips against mine in the lightest, most fleeting of kisses and I groaned out loud. My fingers fisted around his silky hair, holding him to me as I arched my neck to kiss him more fully. A growl vibrated in his chest and his teeth nipped my bottom lip. His hands roamed over my hips, down my sides, before he palmed my breasts. I moaned when he rubbed his thumbs over my nipples.

“Fuck,” he growled, his lips sucking against my neck. “This is everything.”

My hips lifted to meet his and I saw stars behind my eyes.

I’d never known sex could be like this, and if I had I think maybe I wouldn’t have given up my virginity at such a young age. He was right when he said this was everything.

His hands left my breasts and he grabbed my hips, lifting them off the bed. He hit something deeper inside me and I let out a small cry.

He paused, his face tightening with the effort it took to hold back. “Are you okay?” Sweat clung to his skin and the pupils of his eyes were dilated.

“Yes,” I panted, “don’t stop. Please, for the love of God don’t stop.”

With a deep exhale he let himself go and we both became lost in the feeling of each other.

He was wild and unrestrained as he fucked me. It was a beautiful sight to see and to know that I made him come undone like that.

I felt myself building to another orgasm and I gasped when it hit, my back arching. Ezra watched me with a look of awe and delight. A moment later he reached his own peak. He growled lowly, a curse passing between his lips, and his fingers dug harshly into my thighs. I wouldn’t be surprised if it bruised.

He collapsed against me, his head buried in the crook of my neck. Our bodies stuck together from our perspiration and he was careful to brace his weight on his arms so he didn’t crush me.

After a long moment he sat up slightly and kissed me deeply.

He took my chin between his fingers and forced me to look at him. My chest rose and fell harshly with each gasping breath I took.

His tongue flicked out over his lips and he breathed, “I think this is the best idea you’ve ever had.”

I smiled and said, “Yeah.”

Even though I already knew this was the worst idea I’d ever had, because I was dangerously close to falling in love with my best friend and I’d only end up with my heart broken.

I SAT ON the dock, dangling my bare feet out over the water. The sun warmed my exposed skin and I reached up to adjust my sunglasses.
