Hitching her legs up around his waist, she clenched her vaginal muscles and rolled her hips.
“Bitch,” Paul muttered before pulling out and slamming back into her hard. “Is that what you want?”
“Yes.”
He thrust into her again, driving her back deep into the cushions. “This?”
“Yes. Harder.”
Paul hooked his hands around her shoulders and pounded into her as hard and fast as she could handle. Sadie gave herself over to the sensations of his cock filling her, her clit rubbing against him, her breasts tingling from his chest hair. Her second orgasm was a surprise, but she didn’t have time to fully appreciate it.
A moment after she started to cry out, Paul thrust one final time into her, threw his head back and screamed. They collapsed into a heap, a mess of arms and legs on the too-narrow couch.
Sadie ran a hand down Paul’s back, drawing a pattern on his damp skin. “Ian is going to freak.”
Paul chuckled. “Tell him I’ll pay to clean the couch.”
“He’ll probably hold you to that.”
Rolling off her and onto his side, Paul pulled Sadie into a hug. “So.”
“So.”
“You and me. Want to give that a shot?” He twirled her hair around a finger before kissing the top of her head.
She placed an answering kiss on his chest. “Yeah, maybe. As long as you promise me one thing.”
“What’s that?”
Sadie rested her chin on his chest and smiled. “If we do this, I want you to talk to me if something is wrong. No running away to sulk. No thinking you’ve ruined our friendship and there’s no going back. If we’re in this, it’s going to be together.”
Paul nodded as he tucked her hair behind her ear. “Promise.”
“Good. We’ve been friends for too long to screw things up now. Unless you make me sit through another bad Hitchcock remake. Then I might be forced into drastic measures.”
“Now I wouldn’t want that.” He kissed the tip of her nose. “I promise I’ll try to keep my idiocy to a minimum.”
For the first time in a week, Sadie relaxed. “And one other thing.”
Paul chucked. “Yes?”
“I love you too.”
