Tainted Love: A High School Bully Romance: A Pacific High Novel

by Nichole Noel

  “Tell me if you want me to stop,” he murmurs softly before leaning in for a kiss. I don’t want him to stop, I’ll never want him to stop. I’ve wanted him for so long now that I’m having a hard time containing myself. I run a hand through his thick hair, fingers tangling in the strands as I hold tight.

  “I’ve never… I’ve never done this,” I admit, and he lets out a little laugh.

  “Yeah, I know, Princess. I know. I’m not… well, this isn’t my first time, but I’m not that experienced either so we can….”

  “We can learn together?”

  “Yeah, that sounds about right,” he says softly before his hips shift and this time, it feels much better to me.

  My lips part and I let out a breathless little moan. His hands twitch against my hip as he pulls back, shifting his hips before sliding back inside. It’s... Oh, I really like it. I wiggle my hips a little to test things out and he really likes that.

  “Too much, Sadie. Too much of that… and this’ll be over before we really get started.”

  I laugh, a breathy sound that’s more moan than anything else, as I let my legs curl overtop his as he really starts to move. And soon, we’re breathless, clinging to each other as our bodies move in tandem.

  He kisses me. I kiss him back. His teeth scrape. I bite. My nails dig into his muscles, his lips suck. And when his hand slips between us to stroke between my legs in time with what he’s doing to me… I almost feel like I’m going to fly.

  It’s magic. It’s more than I can handle. It’s everything. I look into his citrine eyes and at that moment, we’re one. And as we come apart in each other’s arms, I know that we’ll be able to put each other back together again.

  For the first time, I’m feeling pretty God damn magical. I’m hot, sweaty, a little embarrassed, and a lot enjoying the way Connor is still shirtless. I pulled on most of my clothes—skipped the underwear, which had magically disappeared, though I think that Connor swiped them, and I’m currently in his lap, with his strong arms around me and his lips against my neck.

  “That was fucking spectacular, MacLean,” he assures me.

  “I’m glad to hear so,” I say because I don’t know what else to say. I have nothing to compare it to, but most people seem to bitch about their first time, but with Connor, well, I’d got mine just before he’d gotten his, so I had nothing to complain about.

  “You’re pretty considerate for someone with a reputation for being an asshole,” I tease.

  “But I don’t have a reputation for being bad in bed, do I?” he teases right back.

  I laugh. “I guess not. Next time, maybe in a bed?” I suggest, already thinking of next time.

  Connor looks up at me as a slow smile spreads across his face. He lips his full lips before he says, “There are so many things that I’d love to do to you in a bed.”

  I swallow, mind racing with the possibilities. I might be inexperienced, but I’ve read a lot, so I have some ideas of my own.

  I don’t know where my courage comes from, but I lean forward, breasts pressing tight against his chest as my lips brush against the shell of his ear while I demand, “Tell me what you want to do to me, Connor.”

  And for a moment, I think I’ve shocked him to death, but he recovers quickly before telling me, in sordid, delicious detail, exactly what he wants to do with me next time… and the next. Soon enough, we’re back at the start, this time half-dressed as he works himself out of his pants and I work my skirt up and when we meet in the middle, it’s bliss.

  After, I rest my head on his shoulder as we catch our breaths. In his lap and in his arms, I’m wrapped up in his love and warmth. I know things are complicated between us and that they’re not going to get any more uncomplicated any time soon, but for now, for this moment, everything is perfect.

  This time, when I tell him that I love him, it’s with my whole heart. He kisses me once, twice, softly, surely, before it turns into something more as his hands skim over my body, threading into my hair to hold me tight—right where he wants and needs me to be.

  For now, it’s enough. For now, I have him. And for the future, I know that I’m willing to fight for what I want, and I want Connor O’Brien, whether his father agrees or not. I might not know the whole story there, but I’m determined to find out.

  For Connor, I’m willing to risk it all. And I hope he’s willing to do the same for me.
