Page 56 of The Love We Make

He hadn’t noticed I was awake yet. And after the night we had, I didn’t really want to be awake yet. I was exhausted. But I also didn’t want to sleep through this moment.

Us.

Ethan.

The morning after what was quite possibly the best night of my life to this point.

We only stayed in the bath for a few more minutes after we both came onto each other’s hands. We had to get ourselves together and our brains functioning again. Because what we were doing to each other was mind-blowing.

At least for me, it was.

I had never had a single male-induced orgasm in my life and now I had three. All three by different means and all three within a very small time frame.

I’m serious when I say that I didn’t think that was possible.

Maybe Ethan was a magician?

All I know is, when we finally pulled ourselves from that bath and made our way to bed, I slept like a baby. Wrapped in Ethan’s arms and the afterglow of sex lingering in my veins. It wasn’t the first time I had slept in his arms but it was by far the best.

“What are you thinking about?” I finally asked.

He looked down at me, acknowledging I was awake and kissed my forehead.

“Baseball.”

I rolled my eyes. Ethan was always thinking about baseball.

“I should have known,” I laughed. “What is your schedule like for the next month?” We had already talked about the fact that he was going to be gone most of the month, but I was curious about what teams he was playing and how many times he was going to pitch. He always thought about his matchups weeks in advance. That is probably what made him the best.

“That isn’t the kinda baseball I was thinking about.”

“What other kinda baseball is there?” I adjusted my head on his hard pec before settling back down.

“Trying to figure out the sexual base system. We really do need to google that.”

I laughed so hard I had to readjust again on his chest, my lips brushing his nipple as I did.

“I’m not kidding,” he added. “It’s gonna keep me up at night.”

He reached over to the bedside table and grabbed his phone, pulling up the Google app.

“You’re actually serious?” I was teasing him, but I was kinda curious myself.

From where I was laying, I could see his screen and noted it was already 11 am. He used his free hand and thumb to type into Google: Sex Bases.

“Oh, good Lord, sex bases?”

He shrugged, “If I knew the actual term, I wouldn’t have to google them.”

He clicked the first link that came up.

“Ok, first base. Mouth to mouth kissing.” He looked down at me and smiled. “Check.”

Again, I rolled my eyes.

“Second base. Skin to skin touching as in hands to breasts.” He looked down again and waggled his eyes at me. “Check.”

“If you are checking these off, I am sure we have officially covered all the bases and this was kinda unnecessary.”
