Drew’s right hand comes to my left inner thigh, and his lips follow suit, greeting the soft skin there. I feel the tip of his warm, wet tongue. The scrape of his two-day beard.
This red glow seems to spread down my legs, anchoring me to him. Because his touch, both gentle and eager, tells me I’m safe. Wanted.
And I should be ready for it, but the explosion of orange behind my eyes takes me by surprise when his mouth lands on my sex. His tongue opens me like a lotus blossom. He moans, and I feel it all the way in my womb.
I feel everything.
Drew’s hands and mouth. The car hood beneath me. The narrow ledge of front bumper under my heel. The tiny hairs on my arms that stand at attention in the rush of so much bliss. My sacral chakra pulses with pleasure. With life.
I reach for Drew, and his left hand catches my right in a tight squeeze, but he doesn’t stop. His lips, tongue, teeth reign over me. And then fingers find my entrance, and my gasp echoes through the garage.
The world turns yellow.
I am consumed in fire. Power radiates from my center. His fingers move inside me, creating ripples of energy and sensation. I feel like there is nothing I can’t do. Together, there is nothingwecan’t do.
I open my eyes to find Drew watching me. Energy surges higher, claiming my heart, the fourth chakra. Nothing even close to this has ever happened to me. Yet I know it for what it is.
This is love.
The sparks flaring behind my breastbone are surely green with heart chakra energy.
And with this awakening, sensations catch fire in my throat, the joining place between heart and mind, and I have to speak.
“Drew, Oh God, Drew—” I close my eyes to the blue that has now ascended all the way up to my neck, opening me. Making room for the words. “You have no idea—”
But I do. Energy ignites the sixth chakra, right between my eyes. And I see. I am the universe’s gift to Drew, and he is its gift to me. I can almost feel the cosmos, with its deep indigo eyes, seeing through me. Witnessing this divine intention as it is fulfilled.
The blade of Drew’s tongue moves over and over me with such tender violence. His fingers surge into my slickness, giving and claiming my arousal. His other hand clenches mine like he’ll never let go.
Just as he is meant to.
And with this earth-shattering thought, I shatter too, with the rush of an orgasm I feel clear through my crown. Loving Drew with all I am and the knowledge that we are infinite.
CHAPTER TWENTY
DREW
For the first time in nearly a decade, I have no doubts.
I’ve just made Evie come on the hood of Anthony’s car. My brother would definitely approve.
But for the first time in nearly a decade, I don’t care. My one concern as I get to my feet is Evie.
The garage door is, as it has been all night, wide open. I scan the street and am relieved to see no one. No cars. No old lady out walking her dog. But just in case, I lift one hand from Evie’s thigh, reach forward, and tug down the hem of her dress, covering her intimate beauty. The narrow thatch of dark, fragrant curls.
Her sexual scent is my new addiction.
Claiming her wasn’t a choice. I chose it as much as I choose to draw breath. I shouldn’t have been so weak, but I have no regrets. How can you regret the greatest moment of your life?
As I adjust her skirt, Evie seems to come to herself, her half-lidded eyes focusing on me standing above her.
“I think you should come down here,” she says, beckoning me with the one hand that’s not flung over her forehead. The hand I held as she came.
The vision before me is the sexiest damn sight I’ve ever seen. Or imagined. Evie, looking like one of her Greek goddesses, lays across the hood of the Supra, breasts still bare, wild curls fanning out around her. Cheeks and lips flushed from climax and rough kisses.
Any red-blooded man — and a good many women — would give their right eye for the invitation she’s just handed me. I’m red-blooded, and I could make it in the world one-eyed. But I meant what I told her.
No way in hell I’m taking a chance with her safety. If I had a condom, I’d cave. There’s just not enough will power in the world.
