Chapter 17

"Lift your hips, Zoe," Trevor said softly.

Gripping the comforter, Zoe did just that as she worried her bottom lip. She could not believe she was doing this. Well, not the sex part. She'd always liked sex and over the past five years she'd really missed it. It was one of those things she'd hoped to do again, soon, really soon.

What she couldn't believe was that her gorgeous landlord, a man totally drool worthy was turned on by her. She shouldn't even be a blip on his radar. Where he was hot and incredibly handsome she was, well..........

She was not. Good looking that is. She knew she wasn't ugly, but she knew most people wouldn't rate her above a five and that was being generous. She was plain looking and still overweight. Even to attract a guy she hadn't been able to make herself go through with the makeover the lady at the makeup counter had offered. She just wasn't a girly girl and probably never would be.

Although her new clothes and undergarments made her feel more feminine she knew she would never be someone guys tripped over themselves to get to or even someone like Haley, who seemed to make every guy smile and fall all over themselves to make happy. She was just average with absolutely nothing special about her and she'd accepted that fact and was even fine with it.

One day when she had her act together she'd find a nice average guy and live in an average home and lead an average life. In all honesty it was something for a girl like her to aspire to. After her childhood and the last few years an average life with an average guy sounded like a fairytale. But for right now she was going to enjoy having this incredibly handsome man in her bed for as long as his moment of insanity lasted, because she knew one day he'd come to his senses and go find a woman in his league and once again forget that she even existed.

Until then she was going to enjoy every minute with him.

"Are you sure you're ready?" he asked in a husky voice as he placed the pillow beneath her stomach and gently encouraged her to lie back down.

Was she ready?

Was he kidding?

"Five years, Trevor. Five long years," she stressed, licking her lips in anticipation.

He chuckled softly. "I'll take that as a 'yes.'"

She was about to open her mouth and demand that he get on with it when she felt him press a kiss against her left cheek. A moan may have escaped her. She'd never had a man pay so much attention to her bottom before and was surprised to discover just how much she liked it.

He pressed a kiss to the right cheek before she felt him move over her and his erection slide between her cheeks.

"Oh god," she choked out as he gripped her hip and ground himself against her. Even though all of his attention right now was on her bottom it was a different part of her that ached and throbbed in reaction.

"Ready?" he whispered against her ear.

Unable to talk at this point, she nodded.

"Here we go," he said softly, pulling away. Seconds later he was positioned between her legs. "Nice and slow," he promised her as he pushed the large tip of his erection inside of her.

"We're going to take this nice and slow," he said tightly to her or himself, she wasn't sure. All she knew was that nothing ever felt as good as Trevor Bradford sliding inside her.

She wanted to thrust back, but his weight on top of her stopped her from doing anything more than lying there. It was pure hell lying there and needing him so damn badly. He was barely halfway inside of her when he pulled out and slid back in.

"Nice and slow," he said through what sounded like clenched teeth as he continued his agonizingly slow pace that was killing her.

At this point she couldn't even find the words to beg him to move faster and she desperately wanted him to move faster. He felt so good, so incredibly good.

"You feel so damn good, baby," he said, turning her on more than she ever thought possible. She knew he didn't really mean the endearment, but right now she allowed herself to enjoy the way it made her feel.

"I could stay in you forever," he said, groaning as he pressed hot wet kisses against the back of her neck as he slowly thrust inside of her. She'd never made love to a man in this position, but there was something about having a man lying on top of her and taking her from behind and not being able to move that was intensely erotic.

"Do you like this?" he asked, pressing a kiss against the corner of her mouth.

"Yes," she said, tilting her head back so she could kiss him. The kiss started off slow, but soon turned hungry as Trevor slid his hands over her arms until their hands met and their fingers entwined.

His slow pace started to become a little less controlled and a little more frantic as he started to thrust into her harder. One minute she was kissing him and loving the way he made her feel and the next she was crying out her release.

She barely heard Trevor when he muttered tightly, "Next time, damn it. I'll make it good next time." Before she could register his words he was slamming into her from behind and she loved every single second of it.

Before her five year stint she'd had a few lovers. They were attentive and she'd guess they were good lovers since they always made sure she found her moment, but they never made her feel like they were desperate for her or couldn't get enough of her. They'd certainly never lost control like Trevor was currently doing.

"So fucking good," Trevor gasped, igniting the fire once again inside of her. It wasn't long before he had her screaming again as her body burst apart on an orgasm so intense that it left her gasping for air as little black spots danced around her vision.

Trevor's deep groan of satisfaction had her biting back a pleased little smile. She knew she hadn't done much, but it was still satisfying to know that a man like Trevor had enjoyed being with her and clearly he had. There was no way she could have misread his enjoyment. She wondered if this was the best sex he'd ever had as well.

"Thanks," he said, pressing a quick kiss to the top of her head as he pulled out and climbed off the bed.

That was it? Thanks? After the mind blowing sex they'd just had? Granted she hadn't had sex in five years and a thirty second romp in the hay probably would have earned an eight by default on her Richter scale, but still.......

She thought she deserved something a little more than a "thanks" like she'd just handed him the remote or something. It wasn't as if she was expecting his undying love or something, she wasn't an idiot after all, but something with feeling would have been-

"That was great," he said as he gave her bottom a little rub and a pat.

Well, that was something, she supposed as she blew a strand of hair out of her face. The great part was at least true, she thought with a sniff as she heard him moving around in her bathroom.

At least she didn't have to figure out a polite way to get him to leave. In the past she had a few boyfriends that she'd cuddled with and slept with, but Trevor wasn't a boyfriend and never would be. Not only was there no way in hell that he'd date someone like her, sex? apparently and shockingly yes, but men like Trevor didn't settle on plump, plain nobodies like her.

This was just going to be sex, mind blowing, life altering sex, but sex nonetheless and she was going to make damn sure she remembered that. Besides he never really treated her like she was anything special so she didn't foresee herself doing anything stupid like fall in love with him. He sure as hell wasn't going to fall in love with her. Just the thought of Trevor dropping to his knees and professing his undying love for her had her laughing softly.
