Chapter 17: Ignited

SLOAN

I feel impatient, but everything that Kade has done so far feels incredible, so I’ll do my best.

Kade strips my dress off over my head and starts to trail kisses down my body, from my neck to my collarbones to the swell of my breasts.

“Wow, baby, you are so perfect,” he says breathlessly.

“Mmm, Kade, I’m yours.”

The way he touches my body is like I’m precious and unlike any way I’ve ever been touched before.

I start to tug at his clothes until he slips his jacket off and pulls his T-shirt over his head. I take the time to take him in; every rippled bulge on his sculpted torso is better than the last.

“Kade, you’re so perfect.”

I lightly trail my fingers down from his shoulders to his chest, then to his abs and into his waistband. I can almost feel the second he gets fully aroused and starts pressing himself against me.

“Sloan, are you sure?”

“I want you, Kade. All of you.”

The rumbling sound that comes from his throat lets me know I’m not alone. It’s been so long for me, and I have no idea where Kade stands but I don’t care, I just want him.

I put my hands on the sides of his face and pull him close. “Kade, listen carefully… I only want to say this once, and then you can react however you want.”

“I’m listening.”

“I want you. I’m a hundred percent sure. I consent. This is my first time in years, and feelings are involved, but I promise to keep a rational head about you.

“Please, Kade, be with me, and don’t treat me like I’m broken.”

Kade crashes his lips onto mine while he massages my breasts with his hands. It feels so good to have his hands on my body that I can’t hold back the little moans of pleasure I’m letting out.

He presses his lips to my neck and keeps his deep, swirling kisses moving until he scoots my bra out of the way and takes my breast into his mouth.

He swirls his tongue around my tight peak, and I moan his name.

Kade sits up on his knees, looking down at me while his hard length strains against his pants.

“Kade, please, I want you…”

“What do you want?”

“All of you, you inside of me, your hands on my body.”

“Sloan, I’ll give you everything you want because I want it, too, but I need to be sure you’re okay after last night.”

“Kade…”

“Sloan, are you okay?”

“Yes, better than okay. Please, Kade, don’t hold back.”

Kade finally seems to let go of his worries and crashes his lips into mine, taking my breath away. My hands are roaming all over his body, and his muscles feel so good against me.

I manage to unbutton his pants and start to ease them down. He stands up and kicks them off, but then he’s back to me in a split second.

I roll him over and straddle him, remembering the feelings of this morning. I kiss him with a fiery intensity and feel more heat pool between my legs.

He wraps his arms around my waist and rolls me onto my back. He easily removes my bra and panties, and just like that, I’m lying there, vulnerable and stark naked under him.

For a minute, I get nervous. I’ve only ever been with Archie, and he hasn’t touched me in so long. Maybe I’m terrible at this, maybe I’m gross.

Kade seems to sense my hesitation but, instead of questioning me, he lies down beside me and pulls me close, whispering into my neck.

“You are the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen. You are a dream. I’ve known it since I first laid my eyes on you.”

He slowly and lightly traces his fingers down my curves, looking at me with a sexy intensity in his eyes—like he wants to eat me alive—and I really believe him.

Spurred on by his words, I climb into his lap and straddle him. His eyes go wide as he takes me in; eventually, he settles his hands on my hips before he pulls me closer.

Our kisses keep getting more and more intense, and the sexual tension between us is about to ignite.

I trail kisses down his body, over his chest and abs. His groans of pleasure are so satisfying that I keep going until I’m pulling his boxers off.

When his erection springs free, I’m completely taken aback by how perfect he is. I want to jump on him right away, but I also want to make this last.

I lean forward and teasingly encircle him with my tongue.

“God, Sloan,” he gasps.

I slowly but surely take him into my mouth, hollowing my cheeks, and he swears under his breath before he fists his hands into my hair.

He seems like he’s coming undone, and I’m loving it, so I keep going, my movements mimicked by my hand teasing him into submission.

He’s shaking with desire at this point and, without warning, he flips me over and starts to kiss me passionately.

He settles between my legs, and I can feel his length right next to my entrance.

I want so badly for him to be inside of me, but before I can do anything about it, he starts to trail his kisses down my body again.

He spends some extra time kissing my hip bones; I think he can tell that it’s winding me up. I’m almost totally lost in the moment when I realize what is about to happen.

Archie never did this, but before I can get too nervous, Kade’s lips descend onto my sex and he presses his tongue between my wet folds.

He licks me, long and languidly, while he moans. The sound that comes from my mouth can only be described as a mewl; I can’t help it.

“Mmm, Sloan, you taste so good,” he groans.

He finds my throbbing bud with his tongue, and the sensation is so incredible, I feel like I might pass out.

He takes two fingers and slides them into me while he sucks my clit and starts to stroke me in all the right places.

I close my eyes and throw my head back until the sensation becomes too much and I start to writhe. Then, a feeling I’ve only ever gotten from my vibrator crashes over me like a tidal wave.

“Oh, God, Kade.”

My body is shaking a little, and I can’t really believe what’s just happened.

Kade slides up my body with a satisfied grin on his face. “Sloan, you are so sexy. That was probably the sexiest thing I’ve ever seen.”

I can’t quite find words but I know I’m not done with him. I spread my legs a little and press my throbbing wetness to him while winding my hips, enticing him to thrust.

He lets out what sounds like a growl from deep in his throat and brings his face close to mine, locking his eyes with mine, then he enters me with a hard thrust.

The sensation is immediately shocking and incredible. I clench down on him, not wanting to lose the feeling. It just makes him groan a little more, and he slowly starts to rock his hips against me.

“Sloan… Oh, my…” He’s breathless but soon regains his composure and slides his hands under my hips, lifting me up while he thrusts deeper and harder.

“Oh, Kade, don’t stop…”

He sits up taller, and his thrusts are fast and rhythmic, and I can tell he’s going to make me cum again. I’ve never had sex like this, it’s incredible.

He slows his pace a little and tries to catch his breath. I enjoy the slow drags against my walls. I’m able to feel every move and start to tremble beneath him.

“Yes, baby, that’s what I want.”

He keeps bucking into me, and his fingers find my clit and start to rub circles.

“Ahh, Kade, I can’t…”

I let go and moan as my whole body feels as though it is on fire. My toes curl, and he keeps his pace, drawing out the sensation.

Just when I think I can’t really take anymore, he swears under his breath, and I feel him spill into me. He collapses next to me, and we both struggle for breath.

“Wow, Kade, wow.”

We both laugh a little, and he tucks me close to his body and whispers, “I could fall in love with you, Sloan, I really could.”

I allow myself to be vulnerable for a minute and share Kade’s sentiment. “Me, too, Kade. I could fall in love with you.”

With that, he pulls me even closer to him, then begins to absentmindedly trail his fingers up and down the curves of my body until we’re both asleep.
