Losing It: A Collection of VCards (19 page)

He reached down between her thighs, slipping his fingers over her clit, rubbing it softly until she let her head fall back and moaned from his actions.

“Oh, Dylan…keep doing that…”

He grinned and followed through, knowing his touch was sending her over the edge.

“Yes…mmm…” Shade squeezed her legs as her orgasm rippled through her. He felt every bit of it as she tensed. Finally at the right moment to finish, he closed his eyes, letting her fingers slide down his chest to stroke the hardened muscles along his abdomen. Running them along his lower stomach pushed his ecstasy over the edge, and he let his orgasm pulsate through as he slowed, his face screwing up with pleasure.

He collapsed over her, taking a moment to catch his breath, his heart still racing. Shade’s fingers stroked his back gently, running up and down, soothing with every tiny touch. He never wanted to pull away, never wanted to feel anything but this moment here, forever. How could one person mean so much to another? Dylan couldn’t imagine being anywhere but there and hated having to move away to Shade’s side, where his arm encircled her tiny frame, pulling her close.

“Don’t ever go.”

“I don’t ever want to.” She smiled, kissing his lips with her soft, warm lips.

“You okay?” he asked, peering over to her, looking concerned. She nodded.

“Just a bit sore.”

He grinned. “One sec.” Reluctantly getting up, he walked toward the bathroom, returning with a towel in one hand and slipping beside her again as he handed it to her. “Here. You might need it.”

“Thank you.” She watched him as he moved to pull the soft icy blanket over them. The lack of cold didn’t bother them, as long as they could hold onto each other.

“What if we never leave this place?” Shade cradled her head in the crook of his shoulder and slipped her hand across his chest.

Dylan stared up at the crystalized roof of their room in the Ice Castle of the Great Divide.

“As long as I’m with you, we’ll find a way.”

Shade’s soft breaths softened as sleep came and the sky outside turned into night, darkening the room in an eerie glow. The moon lit up the crystals that splattered its light across the walls. If they never got out, it would be alright, but Dylan knew that with their power combined, there was no spell, no prison, or castle that could hold them. Their love was too strong for that.

Our Someday

by Julie Prestsater

Our Someday is an extended—and much sexier—version of a scene from
Double Threats Forever
(the last book in the Double Threat Series). In this fun-filled, fast-moving young adult series, sassy Megan Miller, and her close-knit friends, begin their four year high school journey.

Expectations and hopes are high for their freshman year. Meggie wants nothing more than to experience all high school has to offer—growing freedom, hot boys, parties, make-out sessions, and did I mention hot boys?

Enter Alex Aguilar. At seventeen, he is Carver High’s sports superstar and dreamy superstud. Yet, despite the hype, Alex is undeniably sweet, and Meggie is beyond smitten. But, of course, he is a SENIOR. So, ought to be completely off limits for a ninth grader, right?

Age doesn’t always dictate whom you will love, though.
So I’m A Double Threat
is the start of their journey. Will young love survive the challenges presented them or is friendship all they can really hope for? Fast forward to Meg’s senior year—Alex’s junior year in college— and the scene that follows to answer that very important question.

***

“Happy eighteenth birthday, Megan,” Alex says.

“Thank you. Tonight has been perfect,” I tell him. “But there’s only one more thing that can make this night complete.”

“What’s that?”

“Let’s go up to your room and find out.” He knows exactly what I’m taking about. We’ve waited long enough. Tonight is the night. I’m eighteen. Finally. I’m legal. No worries. No regrets.

Besides, this is so different than the many other times I have considered sleeping with Alex. I was afraid, nervous, and so unsure before. Now, there isn’t anything holding me back. I know what I want and I know he wants it, too.

Silently, he takes a deep breath causing his chest to puff up and down noticeably. “Are you sure?”

“Yeah,” I say, nodding. “I am. But let’s just see what happens. You never know. I could change my mind.” Although, I know I won’t.

He reaches out and grasps my hands, squeezing lightly. He waits until my gaze meets his before he responds. “And you know that would be okay with me?”

“I know.”

If I suddenly changed my mind and was like,
just kidding
, I know Alex would be fine with my decision. That’s one of the many things I love about him. He’s always been patient with me and I don’t expect him to be any different tonight.

Alex is still rooted where he stands, so I make the first move. Backing up, I start to lead him down the hall.

When we walk into his room, Alex flips the light switch and it’s not surprising that his room is spotless. It always is. There’s a click as he closes the door and locks it behind us.

“Give me a minute while I do a few things in here.”

I watch as he transforms the small living space into a candle-lit bedroom. Slow songs playing in the background, making me feel like I’ve been transplanted onto the set of a romantic film.

“You’ve put some thought into this,” I say.

He steps in front of me, reaching out to smooth my hair with his hands. “I want tonight to be perfect for you. For us.”

I gaze up into his eyes, my heart pounding and overflowing with love. “As long as we’re together, it’ll be perfect.” I know it sounds corny, but hey, he’s hot, and we’ve waited a loooong time.

He dips his head and his lips touch mine. Slowly and tenderly his mouth caresses my own. I tilt my head to deepen the kiss and our tongues dance, brushing against each other in a steady rhythm.

My hands curve around his waist, then trail up his back under his shirt. The heat of his smooth skin on my fingertips sends fireworks throughout my body. His mouth feasts on the tender skin under my ear. Mmm, it feels so damn good.

I lift his shirt to reveal his sexy-ass chest—the one that my friend captured in a drawing of all of our guy friends at the beach. Alex could give the cover models on my mom’s mommy porn books a run for their money. He’s fucking hot. And he’s mine.

My palms flatten against his collarbone and then drag down toward his V. I trace the outline of his muscles with my fingertips, a journey they’ve thoroughly enjoyed countless times before.  Damn, he’s so sexy.

I feel Alex’s grip on the bare skin of my hips and I relax into his touch. Then his hands travel to my back and my shirt begins to rise over my head.

Piece by piece, we take turns peeling clothes off each other until we’re standing stomach to stomach with nothing but our underwear between us.

Allowing myself one more touch, I follow a path from his neck, down the center of his chest to the faint happy trail toward his boxer briefs. He squirms underneath the heat of my hand. And I love it.

It pains me to step away from him, but I do. I turn toward his bed and pull back the covers. Not wasting any time, he starts to put a knee on his mattress, but I stop him.

“Not yet. I wanna be naked with you first. I want you to see me…and I want to see you.”

The moan that comes from Alex at that request makes every hair on my body rise. How can one sound turn me on so much and so quickly?

Suddenly, his mouth is on mine and he’s feasting on my lips, my tongue, my neck, and my chest. His kisses are just as sweet and tender as before, but with a whole new intensity. I just can’t get enough. This is pure bliss. Everything I have ever imagined and so much more. “You are amazing, babe,” he says. He reaches behind my back and unhooks my bra. With care, he slides the straps off my shoulders, following them with gentle kisses before his hands find my boobs.

With my heart beating faster than ever before, I hook my thumbs inside his boxers and slide them down his hips. I take in the sight of him, and I know, without a doubt, that I’ve never been more ready for anything in my life. This is going to happen. I love Alex, and I’m completely, absolutely ready for what’s about to come.

Slowly, Alex drops down to his knees. He places a light peck to my belly. He kisses each of my hips and then gradually peels down my panties, past my hips, past my thighs, his mouth following the path along the way until my undies drop to the floor.

Holy fuck. What this guy does to me is indescribable.

I have to steady myself with a hand on his shoulder when his fingers stop to wander between my thighs. A whole new wave of warmth washes over me, sparks flying up and down my body before settling at my core. This isn’t new to me entirely; we’ve done this before. He’s done this to me, but tonight the feeling is at a whole other level. It’s simply mind-altering. My breath comes out in stuttered pulses along with a whimper when he increases the speed and rhythm of his fingers. He must recognize my trembling legs because he steadies his pace again, looking up at me, our eyes locked onto each other until he stops moving completely. If he was testing the waters—so to speak—my body left no room for doubt. I’m definitely ready for him.

As he rises to his feet again, Alex trails kisses all the way up my body setting off sparks of electricity along the way.

“You…have…protection…right?” I ask, breathlessly.

It’s as if we’re both so entranced that we can barely form any words. He nods, and then reaches to his desk drawer and pulls out a foil packet. I take it from him and climb into his bed. He follows, settling himself on top of me, as I get comfortable on my back.

He gazes into my eyes before he sprinkles sweet kisses on my lips, cheeks, and chin. With one last peck to my forehead, Alex looks deeply into my eyes. “I love you. No more holding out on me, babe. You’re my girlfriend now, right?”

The question makes me laugh inside. The poor guy. Not only have I been holding out on him sexually, but I’ve been adamant about not defining our relationship until now. We’ve been through so much over the last four years. We’re together. We’re not. I’m ready. He’s not. He’s ready. I’m not. I guess I’ve just been waiting for our paths to finally cross. No, that’s not right. I’ve been waiting for our paths to meet and connect. Waiting for our time to be
our
time. And now, that’s happened. We’re there. Finally.

“Yes, I’m your girlfriend,” I say with a slight chuckle. “And I love you, too, more than anything. You’re my best friend and you’re the love of my life. Now, will you make love to me?”

We’re both still for several beats, our eyes closed, our lips gently connected, love pouring through each of us. Then, our eyes flutter open and he meets my stare. He leans back on his knees, takes the foil packet from my hand, and tears it open. I watch as he slides the condom on. His warm hands touch my thighs, and my legs fall freely apart, completely ready for what we’re about to share. Alex never takes his eyes off mine while he settles himself above me.

I’ve looked into Alex’s eyes many times before. We’ve spent hours talking, laughing, gazing. But there is something in his expression now that takes my breath away. His eyes are so serious—loving—yet seeming to burn with lust. Intense. And then he smiles and it’s like the room is suddenly alive with light. I smile too, and I realize I feel so incredibly happy.

This feels right.

Perfect.

Just like I knew it would be.

“I love you, Megan,” he says, barely grazing my mouth with his.

“I love you, too, Alex. This is it. This is our someday.”

His stare is filled with emotion. “No, Megan.” His soft lips brush against mine. “This…is our forever.”

Tears pool in my eyes. I’m overwhelmed by the love we share. I’ve dreamed of this moment since I met him years ago and decided that I wanted Alex to be mine. We’ve come along way since then. We’ve been through so much to get to where we are today. And I wouldn’t have it any other way.

I love Alex. He is mine. And we’re about to make love.

I’m not sure what to do next. I smile against his mouth and decide to let him take the lead. I trust him with my heart, my body, my soul.

There’s no doubt he’s just as ready as I am. The feel of his erection presses between my legs as he kisses me softly. I kiss him back while my hands grasp onto his hips and pull him closer to me. It’s instinct. I just want to crawl all over him and hold him as close to me as possible. The tenderness and warmth of our naked bodies touching is simply amazing. I never want to stop feeling what I feel right now.

Slowly, Alex’s hand travels down my body until his fingers trace the seam of my opening. One finger slips inside of me and oh my… If I didn’t want to crawl all over him before, now I want to just burrow myself under his skin and live there. My toes are curling with the pleasure he’s giving me with his fingers.

“Are you still sure, Meg?” His tone is gravelly in my ear making him even sexier than before.

“Absolutely.” I meet his gaze. “I’m not changing my mind. I want you.”

Balancing himself on his knees and holding himself up on one elbow, he uses his hand to position himself at my entrance.

“I’m going to go slow, Meggie. Tell me if you’re uncomfortable or if it hurts and I’ll stop.”

He’s nervous and it has to be the cutest thing ever.

“And it’s not going to last long, so we’ll have to try this again in a little bit.”

“Alex.”
