“You sure?”he asks, muscles flexing as he eases it over himself.

I don’t think I’ve ever found that motion sexy, but here we are.

“If you don’t put that in me right now,” I say through gritted teeth, “I’m going to start screaming, and not in a fun way.”

He laughs, tipping his head back before shaking it.“I don’t think I’ve ever laughed this much during sex.Definitely not because things were going right, at least.”

I glare at him.“Hurry it up, chuckles.”

Laughing, he holds his hands up, his cock jerking as he makes his way back to where I want him.

“If you’re going to give me a nickname, I don’t want it to be chuckles.”

“I’ll call you whatever you want if you keep doing that thing with your tongue.”It’s desperate and greedy-sounding, and we both laugh.

The sounds die on our lips, though, as our gazes meet.His eyes are crinkled at the corners with good humor.

I’ve never seen someone so handsome, so alive and happy to be with me in a moment like this.

My heart feels near to bursting.

He rubs the tip of his nose against mine, and when I mock-growl at him, snapping my teeth, he laughs again before fitting his mouth over mine.

He swallows the sound of my surprised ecstasy as he presses against my entrance, his fingers back between my legs.

I’m not sure what I’m saying, or doing—only that I need more of him.

Aiden’s patient, and gentle… until I bite his shoulder… just a little.

Finally, fucking finally, he thrusts deep and I cry out, scrabbling on his back as I meet his wild thrusts.

I don’t know how long it lasts, how long we last.

Maybe forever.Maybe not long at all.

It doesn’t matter.

It’s perfect, this time where we’ve met.

Aiden

Sylvie’s snoring quietly in my arms, and all I can do is hold onto her and doze.

I’m not quite sure how tonight happened.

Not that I regret it, not one bit.She’s fucking… unbelievable.Sexy and funny all at once, wide-eyed and hilarious in equal turns.

But this… sex with Sylvie—it wasn’t something I’d planned on, though I’d be lying to myself if I said I didn’t want her.

Where do we go from here?

Where do I go?

I blink up at the lazily spinning fan and all I know for sure is right now, I don’t want to go anywhere.

I want to hold onto Sylvie, and her shining bright smiles, as long as she’ll let me.
