Let It Go

** Harper **

Harper's heart was thrumming so hard in her ears that she wondered if Eli could hear it too.

She wanted his touch so badly. She wanted his fingers on her and inside her, making her feel all the things that she had never felt before. The thought was both thrilling and a bit scary — no one else had ever touched her like that yet. Not for a lack of opportunities … But for some reason, she just never felt ready enough to let anyone take her there.

But she was ready now. More than ready.

It felt as if Eli's hand had lingered without moving for an eternity though. He ghosted over her waist, as if waiting for her to say something. The silent anticipation only made her feel more needily impatient, sending more pulses of want down between her legs.

Harper drew in a shaky puff of air. "Keep going …" A breathy plea threaded out of her.

There was the briefest moment of pause, and then she heard the sound of a smile against her ear. With an easy pop, the button of her shorts came undone, and he slipped under.

She forgot to breathe as he hooked the lacey fabric of her panty to the side, and his nimble fingers stroked her folds in a slow, measured rhythm. She could hardly believe how wet she already was … It was almost embarrassing to feel the slipperiness encasing him, a thick gel of heat coating his every move. The realization made her cheeks burn a little, and that only rendered her body more sensitive. She bit her lips, smothering a moan.

Yet the half sound must've still made its way out. Eli drew away from the kisses he was peppering over her neck, and he touched his forehead to hers. "This is when you get to enjoy what you feel, Harper." His words were warm against her cheeks. "No need to hide it. Let it all out."

With that, his finger dipped into her.

Harper couldn't bite back a sharp gasp then. His touch was like fuel pouring onto the fire that was already blazing within her, searing all her sensations. She was throbbing, her inner muscles immediately clenching onto him in a welcoming embrace. The rest of her body turned boneless … All she could feel was the warmth of him gliding in and out of her and the unbelievable pleasure that followed in its wake.

She never knew that his fingers were so long, so soft. So skilled. He took his time exploring her, withdrawing halfway out before sliding in once again. The pad of his fingertip slithered nimbly against her inner wall, not missing a single hidden spot, and she whimpered again and again until he captured her lips once more, swallowing the sounds into his mouth.

Harper felt as if she was floating on a cloud and riding the waves of a wild sea at the same time. Her mind was spinning, and her arms felt weak as she dug her fingers into his hair. She wondered dizzily how it was possible that she'd never felt anything like this before. It's not like she hadn't ever touched herself or—

Her brain stalled as he found a particular spot he was looking for, and he pressed into it.

"!!!" Harper almost buckled against him with a guttural moan. The sensation spiraling from his fingertip was so sudden, yet so powerful and maddening that it shot to every fiber of her being with lightning speed. And he gave her no time to recover from it — his other hand tightened behind her nape, and he kissed her deeply as he sought that spot again and teased her without mercy. The wild sensation swept over her like a wave, and it felt as if the whole world had disappeared around her, leaving only the part of her at his fingertip.

"Oh my God … Eli …" She panted into his mouth. With every stroke, she could feel her senses being pushed to new heights, closer and closer to the edge. The tension was winding so tight within her that she thought her body might snap in half. "I … I can't breathe anymore …"

A low chuckle rumbled through his chest, and it resonated through her core, taking those sensations higher, higher. "Relax," he whispered, drawing back and laying her head over his shoulder. "Just let it go."

His thumb slided to that sensitive bundle of nerves at her front, and he grazed over it.

She shattered.

With a trembling cry, Harper came so hard that she saw stars. Her whole body spasmed, falling into a thousand pieces as the world spun around her. Her brain stopped functioning, and she was only faintly aware of herself clenching and squeezing around his finger so violently that she was almost certain he could never pull back out.

Well … Would that be so bad of a situation? She thought hazily as she fell limp into his arms.
