Stay With Me Read online

  The energy in the room changed when she opened her eyes. A slow smile played across her face as I fought to breathe. In that moment the world faded away and the only thing that was heard was the beating of our hearts.

  “Thano,” she whispered as she sat up. Our eyes stayed locked on one another. When she reached for her T-shirt and pulled it over her head, I took in her breathtakingly perfect body. Reaching my hands up, I unbuttoned her jeans and held my breath when she stood. She hooked her thumbs and slid her pants down, leaving her dressed in only her bra and panties.

  Still on my knees, I placed my hands on her hips. A rush of goose bumps covered her body, causing me to smile. She sucked in a breath of air when I kissed her right above her panty line.

  “Oh, God,” she whispered.

  I fucking loved how my touch affected her so much. Moving my index finger lightly along her panty line, I looked up and watched the way the light of the fire bounced off her face. I wanted to memorize every look she made when I touched her.

  Slowly, I pulled her panties down. My heart was pounding against my chest and I was positive Kilyn could hear it.

  Her breathing increased, and I swear I had to fight off the urge to throw her leg over my shoulder and taste her pussy.

  I’d save that for later, now I wanted to feel what it was like to be inside of her. Thad looked at me like I was nuts earlier when I pulled him off to the side and asked if he had any extra condoms.

  “Bro, I have a whole damn box in the glove box of my truck.”

  I swear, I wanted to kiss him on the lips when he handed me two.

  Placing another kiss on her stomach, I stood slowly. My eyes landed on her chest as it heaved with each breath she took. Lifting my head, our eyes locked.

  Kilyn slowly ran her tongue over her lips, preparing for me to kiss her. And damn it if I didn’t want to kiss her.

  Lightly running my finger over her chest, she gasped and then whimpered softly.

  Leaning over, I kissed her chest and slowly made my way to her neck. Placing gentle kisses as I moved, I pushed her hair behind her shoulder. With my lips against her ear, I whispered, “Breathe, ladybug.”

  The rush of air that left her mouth had my dick jumping. I reached behind her and unclasped her bra. There was never a moment in my life that I longed for more than this one. Seeing Kilyn standing before me naked and ready for me to make love to her was something I wanted etched in my memory forever.

  The bra dropped to the floor as I took a step back. Her first reaction was to cover herself. I gently took her hands and slowly shook my head. “To soma sas eínai téleia.”

  The crooked smile on her face made my stomach feel like I was on a thrill ride. “What did you say?”

  My eyes took in her body with hunger and lust. Cupping her face in my hands, I gazed into her seductive eyes. “Your body is perfect.”

  The flush across her cheeks had me falling even more for her.

  I wanted nothing but her in my head and heart tonight. “Kilyn, tell me what I want to hear.”

  Her lips parted while her eyes frantically searched my face. “I want you.”

  My hand moved to her lower back, pulling her body flush against mine. “Tell me what you want me to do.”

  Her eyes penetrated mine and all I saw was desire. There was no sadness in them at all. Swallowing hard, she whispered, “I want you to make love to me.”

  My eyes closed and I took in a deep breath. Every woman I’d been with since Savannah I had fucked. There was no love making involved. You only made love to someone if you loved him or her. But with Kilyn . . . I wanted to make love to her.

  Slowly.

  Passionately.

  My heart began to beat faster. Was I falling in love with Kilyn?

  “Thano?”

  Her voice pulled me back from the darkness. “Lay on the bed, ladybug.”

  For a moment she paused before she did what I said. Reaching into my pocket, I pulled out the condoms and placed them on the bed. I quickly got undressed while Kilyn watched my every move, all the while rubbing her legs together. She was turned on and I could see she wanted me as much as I wanted her.

  Pushing my pants down, my cock sprung out. Kilyn sunk her teeth into her lip and moved her hand between her legs. It was the hottest fucking thing I’d ever seen.

  Reaching over, I grabbed her hand and shook my head. “The first time you come is going to be with me inside of you.”

  Closing her eyes, she whispered, “Dear God, you’re killing me.”

  Not being able to contain my smile, I crawled onto the bed and pushed her legs apart. “I want to go slow. Memorize everything that makes you feel good.”

  Her head thrashed back and forth as she grabbed the sheets. “Slow is good. But a hurried up slow is even better.”

  Damn this girl. She had somehow managed to sneak into my heart and I wanted more than anything to keep her there.

  Lifting her leg, I gently placed kisses on her thigh. “Oh, God. Faster slow. Faster slow!”

  Smirking, I moved across her pussy, just enough for her to feel my hot breath and lift her hips for more. Placing my hands on her hips, I held her down. I wanted her to stay still so I could tease her a bit more.

  “No,” she whimpered.

  “Please. Don’t!”

  I glanced up, but kept my hands on her, holding her body down.

  “Stop!” she called out as she tried getting away from me. I quickly sat up and moved away from her.

  She was breathing so heavy I thought for sure she was having a panic attack.

  “Please don’t, Peter. Please,” she softly cried.

  My heart dropped as I realized she was being taken back to a bad memory.

  “Kilyn, it’s me,” I said as I reached out for her. She dragged in a deep breath and stared at the fire.

  “I’m so sorry if I scared you, I didn’t know, ladybug.”

  When she looked at me, it about killed me. Fear was not only on her face, but in her eyes as well. When the single tear slipped down her cheek, I quickly moved to her side and wrapped her in my arms. Her body trembled. Reaching for the covers, I pulled them up and over us as she melted into my side.

  “It’s okay, baby, it’s okay. I swear, I would never hurt you.”

  She slowly nodded her head and barely responded with, “I know.”

  I wanted desperately to ask her who Peter was. Whoever he was, I wanted to fucking kill him.

  When Kilyn finally fell asleep the sound of her breathing relaxed me almost immediately. As my eyes grew heavier, I made a promise to myself that I would never again see that look of fear in my Kilyn’s eyes ever again.

  Never.

  MY EYES OPENED and the first thing I saw was Thano. My chest fluttered as I watched him sleep. It didn’t take long for the memory of earlier to resurface. Closing my eyes, I silently cursed Peter for invading my world.

  Snapping my eyes open, I focused on Thano’s breathing. Smiling, I let the peacefulness of it settle my thoughts. The way he reacted earlier and held me in his arms caused another piece of that wall to crumble to the ground.

  The moonlight danced across his face and I was totally swept away from my reality. The only thing that mattered right now was this man and how desperately I wanted to be one with him.

  With a smile spread across my face, I decided we needed to pick up where we left off, but this time I was taking the lead.

  Reaching over carefully, I turned on the lantern and lit the room up enough to see everything, but not enough to where I thought it would wake him. Grabbing the one condom that remained on the bed, I slid it under my pillow. I slowly moved my hand under the sheet and found Thano’s semi-hard dick. Wrapping my hand around it, I gently moved up and down as I watched his brows pinch together and a low moan form in the back of his throat.

  My lower stomach pulled with such desire I swear I wanted to crawl on top of him and sink down without even worrying about a condom.

  Claire would kill
me if she knew I had unprotected sex. With an evil grin, I got an idea.

  Opening the condom wrapper, I put the condom in my mouth and attempted to repeat what Susie Walker did with a banana and a condom when Claire and I were at her sixteenth birthday party.

  I’d never in my life put a guy’s dick in my mouth. This could turn out to be bad. Very bad.

  Slipping under the sheet, I positioned my mouth and went for it.

  Thano’s body jerked as he moaned. If I do this and that asshole slept through all of it, I’ll be really pissed.

  “Fuuuck,” he hissed as his hand laced through my hair and his other hand threw the sheet back to see what I was doing.

  Clearly, I wasn’t very good at this and ended up having to use my hand. Thano didn’t seem to mind one bit.

  Crawling on top of him, I captured his eyes with mine. “Are you sure?” he asked.

  My chest fluttered with how caring he sounded. “I’m very sure,” I replied with a smile that had him flashing his beautiful smile back at me.

  His hands went to my hips while I slowly sank down on him.

  “Jesus, you’re big.”

  When he laughed, I swear it rolled through my body and heated it even more.

  Slowly working him in inch by inch, I leaned down and sucked his lower lip into my mouth, gently biting on it. His moan went straight to where my desire was slowly building.

  Lifting up to pull him out some, he grabbed my hips and shook his head as he lifted up, pushing himself deeper inside of me, causing me to let out a gasp.

  God he’s so big. I’m not going to be able to walk for a week.

  With a smirk, I reached between my legs and played with my clit as I sank onto him, allowing his dick to fill me completely. It was heaven. Pure heaven. I’d never felt like this before in my life.

  I slowly moved my hips until I got the friction I was looking for. If I kept playing with my clit, I was going to come. My hands moved slowly up my body until I found my nipples.

  Thano’s eyes darkened with lust and I could feel he wanted me to go faster, but this was my show.

  Dropping my head back, I moaned. My hand found that sweet spot between my legs as I played with it again.

  “Jesus, you look beautiful touching yourself, ladybug,” Thano panted out.

  Bringing my eyes back to his, I placed both hands on his chest. I quickly learned to love his pet name for me and I swear every time he called me it I was turned on even more. I moved faster, but not too fast. It was slow. Steady. A rush I’d never in my life experienced.

  Thano gripped my hips harder and began pumping, instantly building the orgasm I had been trying to hold off.

  His eyes piercing me, he spoke in Greek. “Me trelaíneis.”

  I had no idea what he said, but it was my undoing. My entire body shook as my orgasm hit me so hard, I swear I saw stars.

  “Thano,” I cried out before he had his arms wrapped around me with his mouth swallowing my cries of ultimate pleasure.

  It felt as if it lasted forever. When I finally slowed my movements, he masterfully rolled us and hovered over me. “That was beautiful, ladybug. Absolutely beautiful.”

  My head was spinning. I was still throbbing when Thano began moving inside of me.

  “Oh, God,” I panted out. He was doing something that was the most magical thing I’d ever experienced. I was going to come again. I’d never in my life had an orgasm during sex and now I was about to have two back to back.

  “What are you doing to me?” I panted as he smiled.

  His mouth moved to my neck. “Does that feel good, baby?”

  I swore I could feel it in my toes. “Yes. Please don’t . . . don’t stop.”

  Not even caring how I sounded, I was desperate for this orgasm.

  His lips were next to my ear where he whispered, “I don’t want you to come again yet, ladybug.”

  My eyes widened in shock. What? Is he insane?

  “What!” I whimpered.

  I began to move my hips but he pressed down harder on me. For a one quick moment I panicked as he pinned me, but when he looked into my eyes, I knew I was okay.

  “Are you okay?” he asked as he slowed down some.

  Frantically nodding, I replied with a gasp, “Yes!”

  “You feel so good, Kilyn. I’ve never—”

  He stopped talking and buried his face into my neck as he seemed to lose his control. What was slow and steady turned into Thano pulling back and grabbing my hips. He pulled out and pushed back in so hard and deep, I cried out.

  That was it. He was hitting the spot over and over with each thrust into me and I loved every single second of it.

  “More!” I whispered.

  “Kilyn, baby . . . come for me now.”

  My eyes rolled to the back of my head as he pushed in and did something with his hips, causing me to slam my hands over my mouth and cry out as the orgasm rippled through my body. Something happened between the two of us in that moment as we both came together. Thano pushed in deep, his body shaking as I felt myself squeeze around his dick. When he stopped moving, he buried his face into my neck again, gasping for breath.

  My arms wrapped around his neck while I tried to take in air. Once we both had our breathing under control, Thano looked up and into my eyes. I was very aware that he was still inside of me. I could feel his dick twitching and, for some reason, it made my stomach drop that he hadn’t wanted to pull out right away.

  His eyes searched my face . . . as if he was looking for something. With a smile, I placed my hand on the side of his face. “I’ve never experienced anything like that before.”

  His face lit up while he lifted his eyebrows. “Two orgasms?”

  I wasn’t sure why I felt the need to share it with him, but I did. “I’ve never had an orgasm during sex before . . . let alone two.”

  Thano’s smile faded some, before it grew into a wide smile.

  Leaning over, he gently kissed my lips and pulled back some. “Kilyn, I need you to know that was one of the most amazing moments of my life. I don’t think I could ever put it into words what making love to you felt like.”

  My heart slammed against my chest.

  Then I remembered his whispered words in Greek. “What did you say to me earlier? In Greek.”

  He let out a nervous chuckle. “I have no idea why I keep talking to you in Greek.”

  I smirked before giving him a wink. “Because you know it turns the girls on!”

  Thano was still inside of me, resting his body on his arms. He slowly shook his head. “I’ve never talked to anyone but my family in Greek before. Not even Savannah.”

  Savannah. That must be the girl who broke his heart.

  I frowned. It was suddenly very awkward with him bringing up another girl while his dick was still inside of me.

  Clearly, he saw my reaction to him saying another girl’s name. He quickly pulled out and jumped out of the bed. Slipping the condom off, he tied it in a knot and threw it in the trash can he had sitting in the room. He let out a deep sigh and began moving into the bathroom as I sat up.

  “Wait. You didn’t tell me what you said.”

  When he turned and looked at me, I sucked in a breath. His face wore an expression of . . . regret. I wasn’t sure if he regretted bringing up this Savannah girl or making love to me.

  Clearing his throat, he barely said, “I said you drive me crazy.”

  And just like that, he turned and walked into the bathroom, turning on the shower. Pulling my legs up, I no longer felt that warm happy bubbly feeling I felt five minutes ago. Fighting back the tears in my eyes, I closed them and counted to twenty. I needed to get my emotions in check.

  “Kilyn, did you want to hop in the shower?”

  My eyes snapped open and anger raced through my body. I scrambled out of the bed and wrapped the sheet around my body. Walking into the bathroom, I expected him to still be in the shower. When he wasn’t, it felt like I had been slapped across the face. It woul
d have been so romantic to have had him stay in there.

  If he was trying to send me a message that what just happened was a mistake, I got it loud and clear.

  He frowned when he saw me wrapped in the sheet. I stood frozen in one spot while he dried off with a towel he must keep here for when he stays the night.

  “Um . . . I only have one towel.”

  Lifting my chin and squaring my shoulders, I dropped the sheet. Thano’s eyes took in every inch of my body before I turned and stepped into the shower. The only thing in the shower was a bar of Irish Spring soap. Rolling my eyes, I quickly scrubbed my body and then used it to wash my hair.

  Peeking out of the shower curtain I saw he had left the towel and lantern for me. After shutting off the water, I reached for the towel and dried off in record speed. It was freezing in the house.

  When I stepped out of the shower, I ran my hand over the steamed up mirror. Staring at my reflection I was overcome with a sense of sadness.

  How could such an amazing moment be ruined by the mention of one name?

  He regretted sleeping with me.

  How could I have been so stupid to let my guard down and let him in? I should have known better.

  Pulling in a deep breath through my nose, I slowly blew it out. Spinning on my heels, I walked into the bedroom only to see Thano sitting on the bed. He had lit another lantern so the bedroom was lit up. I quickly found my clothes and got dressed.

  “Wh-what are you doing?”

  “I’m getting dressed, what does it look like?”

  “Why?”

  I slipped on my T-shirt and shook my head as I looked back at him.

  “I can’t do this.”

  He drew his head back and gave me a confused look. “Do what?”

  “For years, I built a fortress around my heart. You’re the first guy I’ve ever let my guard down with. The first one I’ve opened my heart up to, and I feel like all I’m getting is whiplash with you. One minute you’re whispering romantic things to me in Greek and then—”

  Looking away, I fought to regain my composure. I wasn’t going to let him bring me to tears. No guy would ever do that to me again.
