You’re Mine by Penny Brooks novel Chapter 56

Chapter 56

Harper

I can’t move. I think that orgasm just killed me. Or maybe I’m paralyzed for life. I’m not

sure.

I sort of don’t care.

Easton grabs one of the condom packets and I watch as he tears it open and rolls it onto his erection. He positions himself above me, his expression pained as he grips the base, the head right there, poised at my entrance. We stare at each other, our breaths accelerated and then slowly, carefully, he pushes inside of me.

I close my eyes as I feel him stretch me wide. Oh God it-it stings. Hurts. But I don’t stop him. I breathe shallowly, reminding myself to relax. I can take it. I can take this.

Once he’s fully inside of me, he pauses, and I crack my eyes open to find him watching me.

“You okay?” he rasps.

I nod, unable to speak.

He starts to move, slowly at first, me awkward beneath him until we eventually establish a rhythm. And though it’s not the most pleasant feeling I’ve ever experienced, I can tell he’s enjoying it from the way he’s continuously cursing beneath his breath, his movements coming faster and faster.

Until he’s pounding inside of my body, our sweaty skin sticking. His low groans send a shiver through me, and when he reaches in between us to brush his fingers against my

clit?

“Oh God,” I gasp, my eyes flying open when he increases his speed.

I can’t catch my breath. He’s moving so fast, thrusting. Withdrawing. Thrusting again. Out of nowhere he shouts, and I realize he’s coming, his big body consumed with shivers as I cling to him, a small orgasm rippling through me thanks to his insistent fingers on

my clit.

We collapse in a heap of tangled, sweaty limbs and he rolls off of me, pulling me with him. His mouth is at my forehead as he breathes heavily and I run my hand up and down his chest, shifting lower to trace his abs.

“Jesus,” he finally manages to say.

| giggle.

I can’t help it and he starts chuckling, until we’re both laughing, my face pressed against his neck, his arms around my waist. Eventually our laughter dies and he’s pulling away from me, but I don’t want to let him go.

“I need to get rid of the condom,” he whispers.

“Oh.” I release him, feeling dumb, my gaze trailing his every move as he exits my bedroom and enters the bathroom. I hear the toilet flush, the water run and then he’s back, slipping beneath my comforter and pulling me back into his arms. I settle my head on his chest and close my eyes, content.

“Should I leave?” he asks a few minutes later, his fingers in my hair, combing through the still damp strands.

I lift my head. “Why would you leave?”

“Ryan might come back soon.”

“I don’t care if he does.”

“I’m sure he’s pissed at me.”

“He’ll get over it,” I reassure him.

“How can you be so sure? And why is he so damn protective of you all the time?” The irritation in Easton’s voice is obvious.

“Well, look at you. You’re his best friends and you’re all a bunch of manwhores.” I’m teasing, but then again not. “He wanted to keep you away from me so you couldn’t hurt me.”

His expression turns serious as he continues brushing his fingers through my hair. “I

don’t want to hurt you ever again, Harper.”

My heart cracks. Who knew Easton could be so sweet? “You won’t.” I lean in and brush my mouth against his. “I won’t let you.”

He smiles against my lips. “So you’re a badass now?”

“I was always a badass,” I say, kissing him yet again. “You just didn’t realize it.”

“Are we going to keep doing this?” I ask.

We lost all track of time but It didn’t matter because my parents are still out of town and Ryan never managed to come home. Easton ordered pizza and we ate it naked in bed together. We used up all three of those condoms and wished for more. We fell asleep in each other’s arms and slept that way all night. I woke up rested and refreshed and…

“You’re definitely-awake.” I rub my butt against his erection.

Stupid, I know.

“We should.” He kisses my neck. “I’m hungry.”

“We should go somewhere.”

“Okay.” Yes, in public. Maybe we could run into people from school and they could see us together. Public confirmation would be perfect.
