This Could Be Us (Skyland, #2)

by Kennedy Ryan

How she felt in my arms, how she smelled, the sounds she made, the

way she screamed my name the second time she came.

He leaves one hand at my throat and slides the other to my back, a caress in long strokes that burn through the material of my dress.

😭😭😭😭 yessss Judahhh

I watch as my nipples peak and pebble beneath the thin wool of my dress.

Kennedy Ryan, the ILLUSTRATOR you are!!!!

“Let’s find all the other ways we can make you come.”

Oh my 😩

His hands leave my breasts and I almost weep at the loss, but he doesn’t leave me.

Lord if this is sex in my 40s… I’m here for it all

He drops me onto the bed, and I bounce a little, which makes me giggle. I sound like a giddy virgin. I feel like one, instead of the forty-year-old mother of three who has done this half my life.

Women deserve so much fkn better. I PROMISE!!!! We deserve this in every era of our lives 😭😭😭

He groans, grunts, slurps. He bites, sucks, invades. It is thorough, like Judah is in all things.

My my my

So long since I had the intimacy of a naked man staring at me the way Judah stares at me now.

Oh my 🥵

“I don’t want to hurt you, but I want to fuck you hard, Sol.”

What every woman desires

“As hard as you want,” I whisper into his ear, wrapping my arms around his shoulders to brace myself. “I can take it.”

That’s my girl 😭😭😭

He doesn’t pause but finds a spot I didn’t know existed and strokes it over and over and over. He never breaks pace, never loses momentum, never lets up.

Wow I’m so so speechless

“You okay?” Okay? Is that weak word supposed to describe how it feels to receive the unrelenting, pounding worship of a man twice my size, but who makes me feel absolutely in charge one second and then completely subbed, bottomed out the next? He puts me how he wants me, turning me onto my side, lifting my leg and taking me with my knee resting on his. I have no idea how long it goes, but I know I’ve never been fucked like this.

I have chills!!!!!!!

This woman tipped my whole world on its axis, and she has been here less than two hours.

Never underestimate the power of a woman 😉🤭

I could tell her everything that interests her interests me because it’s a clue to how I can reach her, how I can love her the way she deserves,

“Like I went to outer space.” She closes her eyes, biting into the quiver of her bottom lip. “Like I discovered a new planet. Like I walked on air.”

“If my pussy hurts, I want at least three orgasms to show for it.”

Hendrix!!!! LMAO

“This is some Days of Our Lives shit.”

Cryingggg bc real lmao

I don’t want to laugh, but they make it so hard—and everything so much better—a

“And you immediately wondered,” Hendrix intones without a trace of humor, “How does one best sit on a man’s face when he’s wearing

I literally laughed out loud

glasses?

How did I not know it could be like this? How did I settle for less than this for so long? And would I have kept settling if Edward hadn’t showed his whole ass? What if I had gone my entire life without this?

Trueeee 😭

trust I had in myself seems to be the hardest to recover.”

Real

“It was never you that couldn’t be trusted, Sol,” Yasmen adds, squeezing my hand. “It was always him you couldn’t trust. You are the most capable, trustworthy person I know.”

Beautifully said from a beautiful friend!

“And you think Judah’s a blessing?” I ask. Hendrix shifts a bite of fried green tomatoes to give me a half grin. “Don’t you?”

Making love with Judah uncorked something in me. I was horny before, sure, but this is different. I know exactly how Judah feels inside me. How he sounds when he comes. How ferocious and selfless and patient he is as a lover. My body wants that again and again and again and as many times as I can have it.

All hail Queen Kennedy for this gorgeous writing

Judah: Heard you can’t sleep.

I know this nigga lying LMAOOOOO

Getting laid always knocks me right out. Shut it, DTF2000.

🤭

I was already on my way

If he were wearing his glasses, I’d be sitting on his face by now.

Holy guacamole 😭 she making me consider picking up a spectacles **** lol didn’t even know this existed!

“I missed you.” He says it so freely,

Wow 😩

I straddle him, setting one knee and then the other on either side of his powerful thighs.

I’d forgotten how good I am at this. How much I enjoy it.

Real

“This is a miscarriage of justice,” I tell him, giggling and squirming as he takes the opportunity to tickle my ribs beneath the coat.

Omg lol cuteee

I’m not crying because I might break. I’m crying because I’m healing, and I’m just so damn grateful for the journey I’ve chosen.

Bending his head, he kisses the curve of my neck and takes my earlobe between his teeth,

Damn. These men know wtf to do!

I can’t shake the image, though, of all that hair unbound, pushed over one shoulder so I could kiss her neck while she rode me reverse cowgirl in her she shed on my lunch break a few days ago.

Fuckkk Judah 😭 don’t say thatttt

I’m asking you to be with me.

I want a life with you that we make, and who cares what the hell anyone else does or calls it or expects? This could be our Wild card, Sol. We can make it whatever we want it to be.”

when you do think about this relationship, don’t compare it to anything else, to anyone else. Draw a picture

in your mind of what a future could look like and really believe this could be us. And whenever you’re ready, I’m right here.”

“Like multiple orgasms, like eating me out forever and making me come with just his—”

Dreamy

“If he makes you happy, be happy now.

No one can love me like I do. No one knows me like I know myself.

Wow. Powerful.

Am I ready to love myself that fiercely no matter what?

The feel of her under me, on my lap, in my arms.

I think being whole means acknowledging all your parts. And there are parts of you that want to be held, want to be needed and loved. That is just as emotionally valid as the parts of you that crave independence.”

I was so worried about making sure I’m independent,” I admit, “that I didn’t feel I could acknowledge those parts of me that long to share my life with someone.”

every time I raise the bar for what I should expect from a partner, Judah clears it. Easily.

revealing yourself to your partner should bring healing, not harm.
