Page 71 of Unexpected You

“Cadence,” I said in a chiding tone. “You said I could explore.” She let out a little whimpering noise. “Are you going to be a good girl and let me do that?”

Where had that come from? I didn’t know, but watching and hearing Cadence’s response was electric.

She arched into me and let out such a sweet desperate noise that I decided it would be my mission to get her to make that sound as many times as possible.

Cadence didn’t release her grip on my head, but she did stop trying to control me, so I took my time. I wanted to make this last. Tease her and torture her until she was absolutely begging. There was still an edge of uncertainty, but I knew I’d find my way. I’d find what she liked and then I’d hesitate to give it to her until she screamed for it.

“You’re so gorgeous. Wanted you from the moment I saw you,” I said, flicking one of her nipples with my tongue. The tiniest touch, but it made her whole body jerk. Her eyes were dilated, and she was restless beneath me.

“Harder,” she gasped out.

“I will, Cade. I will. But not yet,” I said, and she groaned. “It will be worth the wait.” Big words to live up to, but I was determined. This was going to be good for her. Good for both of us.

So gently, I sucked one of her nipples into my mouth, barely touching it with my tongue. Her nails dug into my scalp and she tried to buck her hips into mine, but I had her pressed down into the bed.

“Mmmmm, you taste so good, Cade,” I said, flicking her nipple harder and then sucking it back into my mouth with a little more force.

“Fuck, El,” she said, her words barely coherent. “Feels good.”

I laughed. “I’m glad.”

Taking my time, I alternated what kind of contact I gave her nipple before giving the same attention to the other, making her curse and writhe and beg me to touch her.

I still hadn’t taken my dress of and it was starting to feel like it was strangling me, so I sat up.

“Want me to take my dress off?” I asked her.

“Yeah. Fuck, yeah,” Cadence said, licking her lips.

I lifted the hem and then pulled it over my head. I hadn’t been wearing a bra underneath and her eyes went wide when she saw me.

I had insecurities as much as the next person, especially since my body had a few more miles on it, but when Cadence looked up at me with fire in her eyes, I felt beautiful.

“I’ve been dreaming about this,” she said, fluttering her fingers across my belly.

“And how does reality stack up to the dream?” I asked, trying not to worry about the answer.

“Better. This is better,” she said, nodding emphatically. “Fuck, you’re so hot, El. Can I see the rest of you?”

We both only wore our bottoms.

I rolled onto my back beside her and hooked my fingers in the waistband of my bottoms.

“Take them off at the same time?” I asked, feeling a little silly. But then Cadence grinned and copied me.

“One, two, three,” she said and we both yanked our bottoms off, tugging them down and then over our feet. I let mine drop beside the bed. Cadence flung hers across the room where they landed on top of the dresser next to the TV.

I turned on my side to see her and she did the same.

“You okay?” Cadence asked when I was silent for a few moments.

“Yes,” I said, my throat choked with unexpected emotion. “I just…I want you so much, Cade. You’re so beautiful.”

If I didn’t get my act together, I was going to cry and ruin the moment, so instead I rolled on top of her, both of us gasping at the contact of skin on skin. She was hot and desperate, and I needed to touch all of her at once, but that wasn’t possible.

I kissed her again until my head spun as her hands reached and grabbed and tried to get as much of me in her hands as she could.

On an instinct, I clasped both of her wrists and pushed them over her head.
