hopelessly lost and drowning in her tight embrace.
He came in a rush of blinding heat that left his veins humming with pleasure and deeply satisfied on a level he couldn’t understand. No longer able to maintain the kiss, he buried his head at her neck, shaken to the core with the sweet violence of their passion. It felt like he lost all of his hard won control the instant she was near. When had that happened?
Carefully, he disengaged himself, setting her gently down on shaky legs. “Are you alright? I didn’t hurt you, did I?” Those last few moments of taking her had faded to a blur in his memory, and he wasn’t entirely sure her cries had all been of passion rather than pain.
“I think I’ll be sore in some interesting places for a while, but it’s nothing a hot bath can’t cure,” she smiled, her eyes heavy lidded with satisfaction, and Ethan felt a knot of worry uncoil within him.
Her hands smoothed down the t-shirt that was stretched and misshapen now from his tugging on it, and she looked down between them in shock. “Wait… did you not use protection?”
His mouth dropped open stupidly. It hadn’t even occurred to him, not even once. “Shit, I forgot. How could I forget?” Ethan tugged up his pants, eager to bury the evidence of how badly he’d screwed up.
“I mean… I guess it’s fine, I’m on the pill and you said you haven’t been with anyone in a while, right?”
He’d said he hadn’t had a girlfriend in a while. All he could say to her was, “I’m always safe.” Not that she should believe him based on his actions tonight. What the hell was he thinking? He wasn’t thinking where she was concerned, that was the problem. Oddly enough, he looked more bothered than she did by the slip up.
“It’s not all your fault,” she said, rubbing his shoulder in soothing circles. “I wasn’t particularly thinking straight either.”
Another wave of guilt hit him as she tried to comfort him for practically attacking her instead of the other way around. “I don’t have anything you can catch, I swear. I’m a fast healer, remember?” As far as he knew, it was impossible for his body to carry any kind of disease.
“Well, if I can believe you about demons and stuff I guess I can believe you about being clean. If neither one of us has anything to catch, I’m guessing it’s not that big of a deal. We just probably should’ve talked about it first. Not that I’m complaining about how it turned out,” she smiled, but Ethan couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off. Not with her, but with him.
He never let details slip like that, especially not important ones. And he’d had no idea she was on the pill at all, things could’ve ended up very messy for them if she wasn’t. She deserved better than that. She deserved better than to be mauled in her own bedroom by an animal who couldn’t control himself.
“Hey, you’re awfully quiet, is something the matter?”
“No, it’s just… I’m sorry if I got too rough,” he said, rubbing the back of his neck uncomfortably. Like an apology could make up for his actions, only Cady didn’t seem to mind.
“I’m not. Most of it was kinda hot. I like thinking I make you lose your control like that.” She leaned close, her breath fanning across the underside of his jaw and his insides tightened with desire.
“You have no idea what you do to me,” Ethan replied, his lips brushing against the top of her cheek as he fought the urge to lose himself in her again. And again. “I should go,” he said roughly, taking steps toward the open window.
“Hey, you don’t have to run off yet.” Cady followed him, brows pinched together in confusion. “Ian’ll be gone for a while, we could hang out a bit.”
He already knew how that would end up and he’d already made her sore. “No, I’d better not. I shouldn’t have even come here in the
