Free Deceitfully (Sinfully Series) by Leighton Riley

right now, the only person I had. I didn’t want to upset my sisters or mother. They had enough on their plate. Stella had been there for me when I was asleep.
    Just as I was about to fall asleep, I heard her come back into the room. She took the tiniest of steps like she was scared to come any closer. A mix of emotions covered her face, but in the end, it was her smile that got me. It gave me hope.
    I had to ask, I had to hold on to the slightest chance that she was wrong before. She told me all she knew, and it was final. I listened to her sweet voice, but all that came to my mind was the fact that he was gone.
    Closing my eyes, I wept. I had the slightest urge to pull her close. It was crazy, we barely knew each other, but I was holding on by a thread. Her soft, cold hand lay on top of mine and my heart skipped a beat. Putting my hand on top of hers, I held on to her, hoping that she’d give me the strength I needed to get through it all. With my luck, she’d be gone by tomorrow. For the moment though, she was there for me, and I wasn’t going to give it up.
     

     
    LOOKING DOWN, I SAW HER head between my legs beneath the covers. Seriously, the best way to wake up in the morning. Watching her quietly, I tried to stifle the moans of pleasure as she took me as far as she could in her mouth. Her other hand played with my balls, and it was pure heaven. I needed to feel her. Lifting the hospital blanket, I told her to come up to me, and she complied instantly.
    Her pants were off; she was scantily clad in just a t-shirt. She slid up my body and settled over my hips. I was hard as a rock from the oral pleasure she just gave me.
    “I need you.” Grasping her hips, I lifted her up and slid her back down on top of me. She smiled shyly as she rode me. So damn beautiful, I wanted to remember this moment forever. The way her hair fell in waves, framing her gorgeous face. I grabbed her breasts, pinching her nipples, causing her mouth to form the perfect ‘o’.
    Grinding against me now, I knew she was getting close. I could feel her muscles starting to contract, and it caused me to lose it. I pistoned into her, filling her with my release—her body using me to hit just the right spot to prolong her ecstasy.
    Looking up, she grinned down at me. I wasn’t expecting it, but it was better than last imagined. She lowered her chest and fell asleep, me still inside her. Falling asleep with her in my arms, there was nothing better.
    It couldn’t have been but a moment later when I felt her pull away from me and slip out of my arms. Opening my eyes, reality shatters all around me. Stella was looking at me, confused.
    Fuck.
    She looked down my body and quickly ran out of the room before I could say anything. “I’m going to go get some water.” She was gone before I could explain. Cursing myself for having Stella in my room while I slept, I wondered if I spooked her. She ran out way too quick. What would I say to her? What did she think?
    Trying to hold on to the last memories of the dream, I didn’t want to forget them. It was my first dream in years that involved someone other than Payton. It was then that I realized how much Stella was starting to affect me.
    Payton.
    I briefly wondered how long I could hold off from telling her what happened. I wasn’t sure that she’d find out, but I knew that she’d be here in a heartbeat if she knew I was hurt. I didn’t need her worrying about me just yet. I already had a girl at my bedside, and I had a feeling Payton might not help matters if Stella walked in on another girl sitting in my room. I was greedy and wanted to savor each moment I had with Stella.
    It was a good hour later and a switching of nurses before Stella returned. She didn’t say anything for a long time. I looked over at her a few times, and she was staring hard at the television, nibbling on her lip. We watched some game show on television in quiet silence. The silence gave me time to organize my thoughts. I was
