Prom Queen by Alexa Riley

Chapter Five

Celeste

He presses his mouth against mine, making me melt into his touch. I want so much more as his fingers dig into my hair and he deepens the kiss. I part my lips, allowing his tongue to sweep against mine. The taste of him fills me like the sweetest dessert, and I can’t get enough. For a long moment, I forget about everything else, and it’s only the two of us.

I’ve gone too long without him, and Apollo groans at the same time I do. My hands move to his hair, his neck, and down his chest. As they dip lower, he jerks his mouth away from mine. One second he’s there, and the next he’s gone. I gasp, trying to catch my breath.

“Not here.” He glances around the patio, reminding me we’re in the middle of a party.

His fingers untangle from my hair, and he takes me by the hand. Leading me through the house, he takes me into the office, and once inside, he shuts the door and locks it behind him.

“What are you doing?”

“I need you.” He pins me up against the closed door, kissing me again. “Say I can have you.” His mouth moves lower as his lips find that soft place on my neck that drives me wild. He’s everywhere all at once, and his need surrounds me.

“Please,” I beg as my whole body is set on fire.

At this moment, I’d agree to anything to keep his mouth on me. He lifts me off my feet and carries me over to a long velvet sofa. He lays me down, and when I go for my shorts, he stops me.

“Let me, beautiful. Please.” His eyes are hungry, and his fingers tremble. “I need this.”

I let my hands drop away and watch as he undresses me. It’s torture how slowly he’s going, but his fingers stroke my skin along the way. My desire only intensifies, and I wonder if he is trying to drive me crazy.

“Apollo,” I beg, lifting my hips.

“You want my mouth?” he asks, and I whimper. “You’ve got to say it.”

“Need you,” is all I can get out.

“Don’t ever forget that,” he says as he spreads my legs and his mouth goes to where I need him most. At the first touch of his tongue to my clit, my hips rise again. My body is greedy for more, but he grips my hips to hold me in place. His tongue strokes me back and forth, and all of my desire centers in that one spot. He’s got full control over my body, and I let him have it.

“Apollo.” I reach down, digging my fingers into his hair as the orgasm starts to build. My legs tremble as he sucks my clit, taking hard pulls as his tongue works faster. A groan comes from him and vibrates through me, sending that sweet pleasure to my core.

That’s all it takes, and I go off. The orgasm hits me hard, and my hips buck as I try to fight it. Apollo still has me pinned down to the sofa, so all I can do is take it. Even as the pleasure hums through me, I still want more. I need the deeper connection of when he’s inside of me, because I’ve never felt more connected to another person as I did that night.

My eyes flutter open as Apollo places a kiss on my clit. My body jerks again, still sensitive from the orgasm. I watch as he pulls his shirt off and then stands, discarding the rest of his clothes.

When he sits back down, he grabs me and pulls me into his lap so I’m straddling him. “Guide it in,” he orders me.

The edge in his voice sends a thrill through my body. I lift and then reach between us to grab his cock. I center him at my opening, and I’m so wet the head easily slips in.

“Fuck,” Apollo groans at the first touch of his cock against me. His eyes squeeze shut, and if I didn’t know better, I’d think he was in pain. From the expression on his face, it’s a torture he’s enjoying. “I already want to cum again.”

“Again?” I sink down a little more, and his eyes open. They lock with mine, and the way he’s looking at me makes my heart swell with love.

“Yes, again. I have no self-control around you. Eating your pussy was enough to get me off.” He licks his lips. Oh god. Why is that so damn hot? I love that eating me can get him off so easily. It makes me feel sexy and kind of magical.

I drop the rest of the way down onto him and press my bare chest against his. I soak up the warmth from his body as Apollo’s hand goes to the back of my neck to pull me forward.

“I love you,” he says before he claims my lips.

My heart pounds, and I had no idea how badly I needed those words from him. Unexpected relief fills me, and I have to fight back tears because I don’t want this to end yet.

Apollo grips my hips to move me up and down on his cock. I hold on to his shoulders and move with him. Every time I come all the way down on him, I moan. He’s deeper inside of me than he’s ever been before.

“You have no idea how beautiful you are.” His hand goes between us, his fingers finding my clit. How can I be ready to orgasm again so quickly?

“Apollo,” I moan, resting my head on his shoulder. He stops moving until I look up at him.

“Eyes on me, beautiful. I want to watch you cum and see what I do to your body.”

I give him what he asks for, and the intensity and love I see there is the last straw. My sex clenches around his cock as I go off again.

“Celeste,” he whispers as he cums with me.

His warmth spills deep inside of me, and I fall forward, burying my face in his neck. There’s a buzz of pleasure all through my body, and we sit there for a long moment catching our breath. After some time has passed, Apollo starts to rub his hands up and down my bare back.

“This last week without you has been hell. I need you back in my life, Celeste. I love you more than I even knew was possible.”

I lift my head, unable to stop the tears that break free. “You thought I was trying to get pregnant.”

He shakes his head. “I’m still inside you right now without a condom. Honestly, I don’t give a shit if you do get pregnant. It’s going to happen one day.” I gasp. He did not say that. “Well, it’s true, isn't it? You want kids, don’t you?” He swipes the tears on my cheeks.

“Yes, I want a couple of them. It’s always been just my mom and me. I want a big family.”

“I’ll give you that and anything else you want. I promise, Celeste. I know what I said was awful. I panicked thinking there was a chance you didn’t actually love me, and it scared the hell out of me. I thought that the one thing I love most in this world was going to walk out and never look back.” The sadness I was feeling starts to slip away.

“I did walk out.”

“When I saw your face I knew I’d fucked up right then and I wanted to beat my own ass. I’ve been trying to give you some space, but it’s been absolute hell.”

“I agree. How can a few days without you be so miserable? We haven't even known each other that long.” I didn’t know my heart could ache that much for a person.

“Celeste.” He drops his forehead to mine.

It’s so right being back here in his arms. When I’m with him, it’s like coming home to a place that belongs to me. But even still, I know I need to tell him about my mom.

“I’m sorry about my mom.” I let out a long breath. “I knew what she was up to, but I didn’t know how to handle it. On one hand is my mom and on the other is you. It doesn’t help that I’m not crazy about your dad. I’m pretty sure he hates me.”

“I don’t care about our parents. That’s their own bullshit to work through. We’re never getting tangled in their mess again. How did we end up as the adults in this situation?”

I let out a laugh because he’s right. His cock jerks inside of me, making Apollo groan. He’s hard again, and for a moment I’ve forgotten we’re naked in someone else’s office.

“We need to get out of here before I fuck you again on this couch. I want you in my bed.” He lifts me off him, and his cock slips free. When some of his cum leaks out of me, he grunts. “Fuck, that’s hot.” He puts me down beside him, and we both start getting dressed.

I’m suddenly exhausted, and all I want to do is lie in his arms and pass out. He tucks my hair behind my ear and smiles.

“You're coming home with me.” It doesn't sound like a question.

“You’re bossy.”

“You like it.” He slaps my ass, making me jump, before he leads me out of the party and to his car.

People move out of Apollo’s way as we come through, but I don’t miss the stares. They can look all they want. I don’t give a crap anymore. I’m over letting people try to get between us. When it’s only Apollo and me, everything is perfect.

“Shit.” Apollo jerks me back quickly when a car screeches down the driveway like a lunatic. “I’m done with her shit,” Apollo grits out.

“Who was it?”

“Amber.” Yikes, she really is crazy. I hope she hasn't been drinking, because someone is going to get hurt. I wonder if she was aiming for us, but I shake off the stupid thought.

Apollo holds my hand tighter as he opens the passenger door and presses another kiss on my lips. When he hops in, he takes my hand again before he pulls down the driveway and out onto the road.

“I love you, too,” I tell him because I forgot to say it back earlier.

He doesn't get a chance to respond before the sound of twisted metal being crushed fills my ears, and glass explodes all around. My car door pushes in on me, and screams fill the air. I’m pretty sure they're mine, but it all happens so fast.

“Apollo?” I call out, my words coming out slow and soft.

“I’ve got you, baby,” I hear him say, but he sounds so far away. “Stay with me,” he begs, but the darkness wins out.
