Twenty minutes into our one-hour drive, Xander whips the car off the main highway, smirking in my direction as he does so. “No worries,” he says, his raspy voice sending shivers down my spine. “I know a short cut.”
I angle toward him, pushing my back against the door, and spreading my legs. I lay my hand on my legging-covered thigh and move it upward, hiking my skirt as I go. “Are you sure this is going to get us there faster?”
He glances my way, the dash lights illuminating his pretty face as his eyes fall to my wandering hand. He swallows, licking his lips. “Absolutely not.”
“Good.” I smirk, pushing down my skirt and righting myself in my seat. “Hurry, please.”
He presses the pedal and the car flies down the road. The wheel is gripped tightly inside his fists, and he keeps glancing in my direction. I tighten my thighs to fight off the need that aches between them and do my best to pretend he isn’t within reaching distance.
I’m one gruff-spoken word away from mounting him.
Minutes later, the car slows quickly and tires screech as we leave the pavement behind in favor of a narrow dirt road. The headlights shine down a thin, dusty path that’s lined by thick trees on either side, and the anticipation inside the car ticks up a notch.
He shifts his attention to me, this time holding my eyes. Dark desire burns across my skin, causing flames to envelop me. I squirm, on the brink of an explosion.
“Soon,” he murmurs, focusing toward the narrow roadway. “There it is.”
I follow his gaze, gripping my “oh shit” handle as he veers left, sliding into a pathway that’s barely wide enough for the car to fit through. Brush scrapes against the windows on either side, but I can’t be bothered to show concern. Privacy is the most precious commodity right now, and it’s clear this space will offer it.
We burst into a clearing, and Xander slams on the brakes, bringing the car to a sudden halt. He barely even looks my way as he shoves open his door and exits in swift fashion. Pausing only to shift his erection in the bright beams, he hurries to my door.
Without preamble on either of our parts, he slings it open and I jump at him at the same time as he reaches for me. Our tongues collide in a flurry of passion and need, and he works to maneuver us around, opening the back door and shoving me inside.
I land with a thud, yanking my sweater over my head and tossing it across the front seat. Xander yanks my sheer leggings down, and I kick off my UGGs, not caring that they land on the ground.
“Jesus, Ivy,” he rasps, pushing up my skirt. “No panties?”
“I wanted to give you easy access,” I reply, reaching for him.
He resists, but only long enough to roll a condom down his thick shaft. His body covers mine, and it’s like we’re the only two pieces of an exceptionally large puzzle. My legs go up to cradle his hips, our chests line up, and his pretty face is poised right above mine. He props one hand on the seat beside my head to keep from crushing me, and the other guides his cock to my entrance.
He enters in one solid stroke, and our matching grunts sound in the silent night. His legs still hang out the open doorway, and Xander’s jeans are only barely pushed down, but it’s perfect. We’re perfect when we’re together.
No matter where or when.
His thrusts are hard and hungry, deep and strong. My thighs tighten around his hips, my back arches, and my fingers search for anything to tether me to this world. My head bumps the door panel, and I anchor my hands against the leather. A purring moan slips from my lips as his long, thick cock strokes me in places that haven’t been touched in three long weeks.
It doesn’t take much to drive me to the brink, and his teeth descending to my neck and nipping lightly push me over the edge. His mouth closes over mine to muffle my screams, and he thrusts with wild determination as I spasm around him.
I’m almost to the point where I can’t take anymore when he stills, expelling the sexiest grunt I’ve ever heard. In unison, my arms and legs cradle him to me, both of us fighting to catch a breath. In this moment, at I don’t even know where, I do know one thing more than all else.
Xander Rose is my soulmate.
