Pania presses an index finger to my lips. “I just want you. Have you got a condom?”

I freeze. Do I? I haven’t used one in a long time, but surely there must be one in my wallet.

“Umm …”

Pania cocks an eyebrow. “I don’t have any, so if you don’t, then you’re shit out of luck tonight.”

I’ve never scrambled off a bed so fast, reaching for my jeans and rifling through everything to see what I can find.

“Would you kill me if I said no?”

She laughs—laughs at me.

“No. I’m just going to roll over and go to sleep. Are you coming back to bed?”

I hold out my hands. “What am I going to do with this?”

Pania shrugs. “That looks like a you problem, not a me problem.”

“Really?” I stare at her in misbelief.

Her wicked smile makes me even harder. “Get over here, and we’ll see what we can do to alleviate it. But you owe me.”

“I can’t believe I fucked this up.”

She laughs again. “I can. Come back to bed.”

I drop my jeans on the floor and cross the room, sliding back into bed beside her. “What do you mean, you can? You have so little faith in me.”

Pania takes my cock in her hand, stroking it and making me gasp. “You were clearly in a hurry.”

“I was.” I grit my teeth as she runs her thumb over the tip.

Her expression softens as she looks into my eyes. “You flew all this way for me.”

“Only for you.”

She lowers her head to my cock, licking it from top to base.

I let out a groan. “I’m not sure I’m going to last long.”

“If you don’t, that’s two you owe me.” She chuckles, taking my length in her mouth. I close my eyes and shudder as the wet heat of her engulfs me. It’s not how I wanted to spend our first night together, but being inside her one way or another makes me feel so good.

I moan as she works my shaft, her tongue flicking up and over.

“Pania,” I whisper.

She doesn’t respond, picking up the pace, tightening her grip on me. I swear my eyes roll in my head as I sink into the mattress and just enjoy her attention.

My whole body is alive. It’s not just that I’ve been without a woman for so long, it’s Pania. The only woman I’ve fantasised about these past couple of years.

“Pania, I …”

Heat spreads from my toes to my face as I come in her mouth. She slows, still using her tongue until my cock stops pulsing before she swallows and raises her head.

“That was incredible.”

She smiles. “I’m glad you liked it.”
