Come Together

Xane shook himself, but not before Dani had used his moment of distraction to free her hands and unfasten his fly. She didn’t care if he went from nought to ninety in sixty seconds. She wanted him now.

‘Which part of not touching me didn’t you get?’

‘Every part.’ She thrust her hand inside the back of his leather jeans in order to dig her fingertips into the lovely springy muscles of his arse.

Xane made more of those high-pitched noises, which she decided she rather liked. However, while his arse was glorious and totally squeezable, there was another part of him she was more desperate to feel.

Dani brought one hand between them to encircle his shaft. He was definitely upright, so hard the skin was stretched taut and he was leaking copiously. She massaged the fluid into his length, while watching his expression carefully so as not to push him over the edge. She loved stroking him and the feel of all that power in her hand.

Xane kept his eyes tightly closed and his teeth gritted. Each breath came out like a wheeze.

‘No, don’t stop,’ he pleaded, when she dared to take her hands off him.

‘I thought you said I was going to push you too far if I touched you.’

‘You should touch me,’ he said, revising his opinion. ‘You should touch me all over … everywhere.’

‘I’ve a better idea. Why don’t you put this –’ she gave his erection a squeeze ‘– where we both know it wants to be?’ She was more than ready for him.

Immediately, he twisted at the waist and tried to fish something from his back pocket.

‘No,’ she said, realising that he was searching for a condom. ‘You don’t need to dress up.’

Xane turned back to stare at her. ‘You’re sure?’ They’d both been given clean bills of health, and he knew she’d started taking birth control pills. ‘Has it been long enough?’

‘Yeah. Make love to me, Xane. I want to feel what it’s like when there’s nothing separating us.’ She’d never made love like that.

‘I want to feel that too.’

It took a bit of wriggling to line things up, mostly because their trousers were still snagged around their legs. She didn’t care. She’d been waiting in fevered anticipation of this moment from the day she’d swallowed her first pill.

‘Oh, oh, God!’ It was absolutely worth the wait.

Xane held himself still, savouring the moment. He was balls deep inside her, and the walls of her pussy were hugging him so tightly he feared for a moment he genuinely would lose control and come on the first thrust like some gauche boy. He’d totally forgotten how good this could be. Not that there was anything wrong about sex with a condom, but it was so damned smooth without.

‘You feel so –’

‘Yes,’ she agreed, instinctively understanding. ‘Move a little.’

Just a little. Yes, he thought he could do that without blasting off into space. He lifted his hips, hated the loss of contact and slid back down. Dani groaned right along with him.

‘Oh, God, you feel so good.’

Agreed. Totally agreed. Though what came out of his mouth was more a guttural groan.

When it came to sex, Xane had done almost everything at least once. Even this, way back in the dim days of his youth, before Black Halo hit it big and he got wise to the ways of the world. But none of his past partners had ever meant anything to him. None of them ever came close to touching his heart in the way Dani did. They met and hooked up, fucked and moved on, with the one exception of Steve, and he was gone and no longer an option. The thought left him momentarily choked, but then he stared down at Dani and all the dark shadows in his life rolled away.

Xane wasn’t sure he believed in soulmates, but if they did exist then Dani was definitely his, because that’s what it felt like, being deep inside her sans condom, that they were meant to be bound together. That the only way the universe could continue to exist was if they remained joined in this way.

Beneath him, Dani struggled against the confines of her clothing. ‘Get these ruddy things off.’ She managed to dislodge her shoes. Xane helped her rip her jeans off, whereupon her legs wrapped tight around his back so that her heels dug into his arse.

That was even better. He pushed deeper, and his body locked into a rhythm that paid no regard to his sanity. To be fair, he didn’t care if he was a blubbering wreck at the end of this. It was too damn good to stop.

She fitted him like a glove. So, so perfectly.

‘Lift up,’ she insisted a moment later. ‘I want to see.’ She released her grip on his body, so that he could raise his body as far as his hips. Her gaze, which had been fixed on his face, rode down his body. Xane followed her line of sight and watched his cock dipping into her pussy. Oh, hell, yeah! That was hot.

‘Can I touch?’ Her cheeks grew cherry-pink at the request.

She could touch him anywhere she liked. He nodded, still incapable of speech.

Dani’s fingers scisssored around the base of his shaft then drew upwards to stroke her clit.

She’d been really self-conscious about satisfying her own needs when they’d first met, but he’d taught her it was OK, that she should never hold back from taking what she needed, or asking for it.

‘Let me,’ he managed to gasp. Even though it was hot as fuck watching her stroke herself, he liked to pretend he was a gentleman. He used his thumb a moment, until a better idea struck him.

He inched up the bed a fraction, so that their hips weren’t quite so perfectly aligned. It meant each time he moved, his shaft stroked against her clit. The angle appeared to do something else too, because she was suddenly panting.

‘Fuck. That’s good.’

Xane smiled on hearing her swear. While most of his acquaintances and all of the band were foulmouthed beasts, Dani, as a rule, was far too nice to use such language. She always blushed after using even the mildest expletive.

‘Tell me that again.’

‘So-o good.’

‘I meant the same as you said it before. The uncensored version.’

She gripped his waist tight, head shaking. ‘Can’t.’

‘I want to hear you scream it. I want the whole world to know how good this is.’

She kept her lips pressed tight.

‘I can’t get enough of fucking you,’ he told her. ‘I want you always.’

‘I love you,’ she said right back at him, and he knew it was true. He saw it in her face, her eyes.

She was so beautiful. He was the luckiest man on earth to have found her.

‘How close are you, Xane?’ she muttered against the bare skin of his shoulder. They were sandwiched together again. ‘Because I’m so close … I’m going to … want us to get there together.’

‘Say it, Dani. Tell me how good it is, and I’ll be right there with you.’

She shook her head, while mewling hard.
