Chapter 152: Don’t Stop
** Harper **
Eli lapped her up slowly, with soft strokes that anchored her as she drifted back down from the high. This was the time when he’d usually sooth her gently, letting her ride out every last wave of pleasure while residual tremors continued to pulse through her body ...
But today, Harper didn’t want that. Her breathing was still ragged, yet she didn’t wait for it to calm down before pulling him up, sealing that sinful mouth with her own. "Don’t stop," she whispered into his lips, not caring how needy she sounded, and her hand glided down between them, reaching for the place that she knew was as hard for her as she was wet for him.
Blissful as the ecstasy he just gave her was, she wanted more. She wanted to share the moment with him, to feel the both of them ascend to that sensational paradise together in each other’s arms.
A groan shuddered out of him when she pulled on the elastic of his boxer briefs. She could already feel the scorching heat there, burning her skin before she could even slip under—
"Harper." The strained word was accompanied by a hand clasping around her wrist, stopping her. "If you touch me right now ... I’ll be done for before you can finish wrapping those pretty fingers around me."
... Oh.
A new bolt of pleasure shot through Harper’s body at the mere sound of those words. From the way he had kissed her and caressed her earlier, so tender and so controlled, she hadn’t expected that he could be ... just as close to the edge as she was, and the revelation made her dizzy, her already dazed mind turning into a fluffy cloud of pure euphoria.
Her hand didn’t retreat though. Instead, she placed it on his waist, lightly stroking the side of his hips. "Then why don’t we go straight to the next part?" she said softly. "You don’t need to hold anything back for me anymore ... I’m ready for whatever you have to give me."
