“It doesn’t have to be.”

Her eyes flicker down, and her fingers slide over my lips. My stomach tightens, and I don’t want to break this spell.

“Come with me.” Lifting her into my arms, I carry her into the bathroom.

I waste no time finding a washcloth, dampening it, and cleaning us both. I’m still holding her as I carry her to the bed again.

Placing her on the soft sheets, I tear open the condom and set it on the bedside table. She climbs onto her knees, and when I turn, our faces are on the same level.

She’s so beautiful in the dim lamplight. Reaching up with both hands, I move her hair back, wanting to tell what’s on my mind, but not wanting to push her away.

Her pretty eyes move from my face to my hair. She curls her fingers in the sides and whispers, “I missed you.”

I missed her every single day, but I don’t say that yet. She asked me not to earlier, and I’m not sure if it’s safe. So I only smile, placing a hand on her waist and pulling her body to mine. Her cheek rests against my chest, and her head is tucked under my chin. Closing my eyes, I listen to our hearts beating in time.I want this always.

My stomach is tight, and I’m still thinking about her fantasy of me behind her. But I’m carefully following her lead. I want this to be the first step of many, many more. I want us to reach the point where I can tell her my fantasies as well.

But tonight, I’ll do whatever it takes to keep my beautiful girl right here, secure in my arms and warm in my bed.

Sensing my hesitation, she lifts her lips to kiss my jaw. My hand is on her neck, and I cover her mouth with mine. I worry I’m being too aggressive, but again, I’m gratified when she kisses me back, her fingers curling against my shoulders, pulling me closer.

We slide lower in the bed, and I turn her body so her back is to my chest again. Her breathing picks up, and my lips are behind her ear. I kiss the back of her neck, and she exhales a soft sigh that registers straight to my dick.

Grabbing the condom, I quickly roll it on before pulling her ass to my pelvis. My hand moves around front, between her legs, and I circle my fingers over her clit, sliding them up and down and teasing her wetness.

Her hand threads in the side of my hair, and she pulls gently. She arches her back, inhaling deeply so her beautiful tits rise. Covering them with my hand, I gently tease her, pulling the hard tips with my fingers.

I’ve never seen her body naked, and I’m like a man discovering a new world. I want to make her come, but I also want to explore every part of her. I want to trace my lips down the curve of her hips, slide my fingers over the swell of her breasts. I want to memorize every inch of her flesh.

Her lips part, and I can’t help myself. “You’re so beautiful.”

It’s a low groan against her shoulder, and I’m looking down, watching her move like a wave under my touch.

I kiss her neck, pulling the skin between my teeth, and she moans, grinding her ass against my cock. I can’t take much more. Reaching between us, I slide closer to her core.

Her hand fumbles behind to grasp me, and my eyes squeeze shut with a groan. She pulls me into her, and I roll us so that she’s on her stomach. I’m propped on my forearms, and on instinct I start to thrust rapidly.

Her ass rises to meet me, and she’s rocking back, matching my eagerness with her own. We’re desperate, moving faster as the overwhelming sensation controls our bodies.

I gasp and groan. She grunts and moans, and together, we chase our release. Sweat slicks our bodies, causing them to slide together. I’m breathing hard, and I can’t stop. Pleasure snakes up my legs, radiating in my pelvis, driving me relentlessly.

I have to claim her.

“Oh, God…” Her voice goes high, and her body jerks as if touched by electricity.

Her insides clench and pull, and I feel as she orgasms all around me. I can’t stop. She’s gripping and squeezing my cock, and I fly over the edge. Holding her steady, I press my forehead to her shoulder as the waves overtake me, pushing me down and turning me around.

A deep groan aches through my throat, and I’m still coming. I didn’t think it was possible, but I can’t get enough of her. I’m spent and satisfied and so fucking happy.

Rolling onto my side, I reach between us, quickly disposing of the condom before pulling her into my arms and holding her tight to my chest. Her cheek is at my neck, and we’re sweaty and breathing hard.

Her fingers cling to my shoulder, and I feel the lift of her smile against my skin. I also feel the warmth of a tear. I don’t speak. I only cup her face in my hand, kissing her temple, kissing the line of her hair, kissing the top of her head as calm settles around us.

I’ll take her pain. I’ll wait for her to tell me her secrets. I’ll hold my words and my questions until she’s ready for them—if she’s ever ready for them.

All I want is to be here and never be apart again.
