"Fuck yes," Riley said through a growl. "Those pictures of you drive me fucking wild. I love everything about them.Aboutyou."
"I love them, too," I said, grasping for the headboard as he pumped faster. He leaned down, gathering my wrists in his hand, and pinned me in place. Everything else drifted away, and all that remained was the heat between us and the slow road we were taking to those three littlewords.
His free hand angled my legs wider and then slipped down to tease my folds. "I love your clit," he whispered. "It's my favorite place onyourbody."
"I love your cock," I said, scraping my nails down his back as I felt myself walking the edge of myorgasm.
"You should. There's a lot to love," hereplied.
Then I was coming and laughing and clinging to him because "I love you," I murmured. "Iloveyou,Riley."
"I love you, Aly," he replied, his voice heavy withlaughter.
And that was it. That was our newarrangement.
