It felt different this time. There was very little pain, just a slight twinge when he'd first entered. She was better prepared and without the pain, there was only a strange, intense pleasure and a feeling of fullness.
"I'm already addicted, Maddie," he murmured, covering her body with his own. His hands landed on both sides of her head, their lower halves completely pressed together, creating pressure on her clit. Every thrust was heaven.
"C-Caleb," she whispered, panic clogging her throat. Already, she felt her orgasm rising and she was worried what it would be like. All the ones that came before kept building and building in intensity … and the first one had already been mind-blowing, life-altering. This one just might kill her.
"I've got you, princess," he soothed, even with his voice tight with desire. "It'll be good, I promise. So fucking good."
He was right. Not even a moment later, she was coming for what felt like the millionth time that evening. It was so intense that it bordered on pain-the most exquisite pain, unlike anything she'd ever felt before-and when Caleb felt her clamping down around him, he muffled his shout into her neck and then he was groaning her name.
His hot seed spilled inside her, coating her walls in lashes. And then their ragged breathing filled the room. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Caleb's arms tremble with his exertion and then he rolled off her so he wouldn't crush her.
Dazed, body tingling, and so incredibly exhausted, Maddie barely felt Caleb loosen the belt that held her wrists. He massaged them with his fingertips and her eyelids fluttered shut. Just the thought of moving made her even sleepier, so she just laid there, not caring that she was a sweaty mess or that she wouldn't be able to walk tomorrow.
"Good?" Caleb murmured, his lips grazing her jawline.
She didn't trust her voice, but she turned her head so she could kiss him, her eyes already closing in satisfied-beyond satisfied-exhaustion. She hoped that was answer enough.
The last thing she remembered before she passed out was Caleb pulling her closer and the sound of the belt dropping on the floor beside the bed.
THIRTY-SIX
After one of the most restful sleeps of her life, Maddie woke up nauseous and a little aroused, a somewhat alarming and strange combination. Her whole body tingled from the overstimulation from the night before and when she moved her legs, the space between her thighs throbbed lightly.
Caleb was still sleeping soundly next to her, on his back, his naked thigh resting next to her hip. He was completely out, which pleased Maddie because she figured that he wasn't getting nearly enough sleep anyway. He'd been working himself too hard, coming home too late and leaving too early.
Looking at the clock, she muttered, "Shoot," when she realized that she'd missed her earliest class of the week by almost two hours, considering it was a little past ten o' clock. Making a mental note to stop by her professor's office when she got to campus today, she shimmied out from underneath Caleb's arm without waking him and stumbled towards the bathroom on shaky legs. Her whole body was sore, as though she'd taken a weight lifting class at the gym for five hours as opposed to the sensual torture Caleb had put her through last night.
And despite her rising nausea, when she looked in the mirror, Maddie saw a different woman. Flushed cheeks, bright eyes, rounding belly, and whisker burn around her nipples from Caleb. She touched between her thighs and her knees trembled.
Remembering that she hadn't showered or brushed her teeth last night, she quickly remedied the latter and then hopped into the shower, turning it on as hot as she could stand. But she was sensitive everywhere. Even sliding a soaped-up loofa over her body bordered on too much. She wondered how she'd be able to get through her day like this.
Right after she rinsed out the conditioner in her hair, her skin prickled and she turned to see Caleb leaning against the bathroom counter, his arms crossed over his chest, an impressive erection jutting from his body. Through the steam and the glass door of the shower, he was watching her bathe herself. Her lips parted and she automatically reacted, a rush of desire making her skin feel like it was on fire. Was it healthy to be this attracted to a man? One who made her light up like a flipping firework?
Maddie watched as he uncrossed his arms and then reached for the door, intending to join her. When he closed it behind him, enclosing the both of them in the small space, he backed her against the tiled wall, their bodies sliding together. Then he was giving her the sweetest kisses, his arms wrapping around her like he never wanted to let go, and it was possibly the most romantic moment of her life.
