Not Even Close (A New Generation) by Elizabeth Reyes (books to read in a lifetime txt) 📗

Now she lay there, barely able to catch her breath, as the electriccurrents of pleasure continued to pummel throughout her body. Kissing theinsides of her thighs a few more times, Byron pulled away from her. Vannahremained in place, eyes closed, heart hammering away, as her body continued toenjoy the aftershock of a climax like none she’d ever experienced or would’veever imagined.

Her eyes flew open when she felt his hard naked body over her. Hesmiled making her breathe in deeply as he spread her legs again. “I’d wait butI need to be in you. Hearing you come like that nearly had me explodingalready, baby.”

Gulping, Vannah braced herself as he adjusted himself to enter her.With the tip of his erection at her entrance, Vannah trembled as he slippedboth hands into hers and slid into her slowly. Vannah had no idea pain couldfeel so good. But even as the burn of him stretching her made her wince and himslow, she could already feel her quivering body readying itself for anotherincredible orgasm. He leaned in and kissed her long and deep as he buriedhimself deep inside her.

The burn of the stretch morphed into pleasure after just a few magicalthrusts in and out. Within minutes they were both moaning in pleasure, as he slidin harder and deeper each time, until he buried himself deep inside her, onelast time with a harsh groan.

“Christ almighty,” he muttered as he remained there for afew more moments and Vannah relished another powerful climax.

Gazing down at her, Vannah was caught in those smoldering eyesagain, like she had been so many times. Only even as her heart pounded away itfelt different this time. It scared her. They’d now shared something so intimate,but it felt like more than just sex. He knew now she may as well have been avirgin before today. He had to know a seventeen-year-old completelyinexperienced boy, had nothing on him. Had to know she’d never felt anythingeven close to what she was feeling that very moment. He had to know just how inawe of him she’d been feeling even before today.

“You okay?” he smiled pecking her softly.

She nodded feeling a little choked up suddenly, but she refrainedfrom letting it show. She smiled stating the obvious. “That was amazing.”

He kissed her again gazing profoundly into her eyes. “You’refucking amazing, Savannah. I already know I’ll never get enough of you.”

Indulging her with more of his heart melting kisses, Vannahbreathed in deeply. There was no turning back for her now. Did he know this? Didit scare him too? If his deepening kisses, and feeling his erection come aliveagain inside her, even after the sex they’d just had, were anyindication on whether he might want to slow things down, she’d take that as a no.

This close to chickening out, Vannah tiptoed out of thebedroom to get her purse and pulled out the bracelet. Since their YouTubechannel had started out as a fashion vlog, there were lots of accessories and jewelryshe and Nena learned to make over the years. They’d feature them on theirchannel and sell them. Among them, were personalized leather bracelets that girlsliked to order for their boyfriends and have something engraved on them. She’dnoticed early on that Byron occasionally wore a couple. She’d always thoughtthey were sexy on guys. When Xochitl had suggested she gift him something cutesyway back as a token of their gratitude for his helping them out at Frat Row,the thought of making him one had crossed her mind. But jewelry, especially apersonalized bracelet felt too intimate, that early on. It’s why she’d gonewith the enchiladas instead. Only now that she’d known they’d likely besleeping together this weekend, she decided nothing got more intimate thanthat.

Except she’d forgone engraving anything that he might deem tooover the top—even for him. Like any declarations of her feelings for him.Though, Xochitl did manage to convince her that what she’d had in mind ofengraving in it, wasn’t too much.

“You said it yourself,” Xochitl insisted. “You’re pretty sureyou’ll be sleeping with him soon. You’ve already spent the night at his place,he’s met your parents, and now you’re taking him to meet the rest of your big scaryfamily, for crying out loud.”

So Vannah had gone with her initial thought and engraved thewords that always danced in her head whenever she was around him, or even whenshe saw his name on her phone screen when he called or texted.

Examining it one last time, because she knew he’d be waking soonfrom their long, exhausting, but beautiful night. She was determined tojust go through with it and give it to him. She whispered the engraved wordsone last time. “Be still my heart.”

“Hey.”

Vannah gasped, spinning around to see Byron peering at her as sheheld the bracelet behind her back and clutched her chest with her other hand.His expression went a little harder as his eyes took her in, and he obviouslynoticed she was hiding something behind her back. “You on your phone?” Sheshook her head as he tilted his. “Who were you talking to?”

“Myself,” she said feeling stupid.

“Yourself?”

Clutching the bracelet Vannah willed the courage to just do it.What was the big deal? His eyes bore into her and she was pretty sure what he wasthinking. From day one, Byron hadn’t been one to hold back his misgivings andshe could see it in his eyes now. He thought she’d snuck out of the room to gowhisper on the phone where he wouldn’t hear her.

“Why do you look so—”

“I made you something,” she said before she chickened out likeshe had yesterday.

The suspicion in his eyes eased up a bit, but he still stared ather confused, so she went on quickly. Holding out the bracelet now for him tosee, she explained. “My sister and me. We make these. Well.” She cleared herthroat. “I haven’t in a while, but she still does. Anyway, our viewers reallyliked them, and I think they’re sexy on men.”

His brows leapt up and she
