Bryson started to move faster, and I could tell he was there. “Rose, fuck, fuck, fuck.”
He pulled out and moved against my belly, his cum hot on my bare skin. A small part of me wished he hadn’t pulled out. But even on birth control, I wasn’t ready to become a mother to a child whose father I’d only known for a few hours and who was on the road most of the year and lived in Seattle. No. Thank. You.
Bryson rolled off me and laid on the lounge chair that barely fit us both.
“What did you do to me, Rose Shaw?”
Smiling, I ran my fingertips along the top of his thigh. “I could say the same thing, Bryson Robinson.”
Bryson and I lay wrapped together in a quilt as I stared up at the sky. At some point, we had moved off the lounge chair, and Bryson had pulled the quilt off the hammock and laid it on the rooftop patio.
The first rays of sunlight were making their way across the sky, and my brain screamed for me to get up and go. Turning, I looked at Bryson. I mean, I really, really looked at him. He looked like a Greek god with his arm over his eyes. I had never experienced sex with another man like I had with Bryson last night. First, we made love, and it was glorious. Then he had me hold the railing that overlooked Seattle as he took me from behind. He was a dirty talker, my first ever, and boy, did I quickly realize that turned me on even more. I closed my eyes and let the memory of it come back to me.
“Do you like my cock inside you like this, Rose?”
Yes. Please.
“I’m going to make sure you feel me for days.”
Okay by me!
It had been mind-blowing, and when he made me come, I had screamed out his name each time. I was positive I woke up some people with the way I cried out when I came while holding the rail. Bryson had made sure I came each time before he did, and three orgasms in one night was a damn record for me. I’d also never come with a man inside me, so that was another plus. I wasn’t sure why I had never experienced an orgasm while having sex. I knew some women did, and some didn’t. Maybe the men I had been with before simply wanted to come fast so the ride was over too soon. I wanted to ignore how amazing it had all felt, but the longer I lay there, the harder it was to pretend it was a one-night stand that meant nothing. It had felt like it meant something, and I saw it in his eyes as well. And that scared the living hell out of me. I wasn’t built to have a long-distance relationship. I was the type of woman who would not be okay that the man she was dating was worshipped by thousands of women. It wasn’t that I wasn’t confident with myself, it was because I was a goddamn realist. Not many men would resist when women threw themselves at them all the time. Okay, and maybe I lacked a little self-confidence, but who wouldn’t! The man was hella gorgeous, rich, and filled out a baseball uniform like he was poured into it.
Leave, Rose. You need to leave.
I closed my eyes and forced myself to carefully slide out from under the quilt. I rushed around the rooftop and found my clothes and sneakers, then quickly got dressed. Then with one last look over my shoulder, I closed my eyes and rubbed at the ache in my chest. Giving one last look at the man who had ruined me for all future men, I whispered, “Goodbye, Bryson,” before I ran for my life.
Chapter Two
BRYSON
I wasn’t sure how long I had sat out on the roof as I watched the day wake up. Rose had slipped away at some point, and I was pissed I hadn’t felt her move. I had been exhausted from the game, and staying up nearly all night talking and making love to Rose didn’t help my exhaustion, so once I fell asleep, I was out. I hadn’t slept so soundly in who knows how long. I was positive it wasn’t because I was tired, but more that I held Rose in my arms while I slept.
Standing, I walked over to the glass railing and exhaled. The memory of Rose holding on to it as I fucked her from behind made my dick jump. I hadn’t even gotten her fucking phone number. Sure, I could get it from Loren, but why hadn’t I asked for it or she offered it up? The truth was, I hadn’t thought she would run like that. I should have known. There was a connection between us, and I saw it in her eyes that she felt it as well. It was a feeling I hadn’t ever experienced before. It was like we had been made for one another. Like she was the missing piece of a puzzle I hadn’t finished putting together yet.
