“Together,” I said softly, leaning down and giving her a soft kiss before beginning to move again.
River met me thrust for thrust, my balls tightening as our bodies moved together in one fluid motion. Her moans fueled me on and my heart was going a hundred miles an hour as we both roared over the finish line together.
“Sweetheart, you okay?”
River lay spent in my arms, unmoving.
Her eyes fluttered open, unshed tears gathering in them as her spellbinding violet gaze reached deep into my soul.
“Better than okay.”
She ran the heel of her foot up my leg and my cock stirred to life once again. I’d already gotten up and rid myself of the condom before dropping back to bed and pulling my girl into my embrace. I’d tried spooning her from behind, but she insisted on us facing one another.
That was fine by me, I could look at her all day and night. If I never had to take my eyes off her again, I’d be a happy man, but I knew that was unrealistic even if it did sound damn good.
“I didn’t know,” River said softly.
Running my thumb tenderly across her cheek, I asked, “Didn’t know what, sweetheart?”
She licked her lip as her foot made another path up my thigh. “I didn’t know it could be so beautiful.” Those tears spilled over, trickling down her cheeks. “You slayed my demons and showed me love in a way nobody ever has.”
After moving my hand to her chest, I placed my palm over her rapidly beating heart. “Youslayed your demons. You are a warrior. And I will be thankful every day for the rest of my life you’re mine.”
When she started to shake her head and open her mouth to deny it—still unbelieving fully that she was her own hero—I placed my finger over her lips.
“You are the strongest person I know. I love you so damn much, sweetheart.”
Once again she dragged her foot up my leg but this time her tongue darted out, the tip swiping against my finger. My dick twitched and a deep groan rumbled in my chest.
“Show me again how much you love me.”
Shit she was making this hard. “You need to rest and you’re probably already gonna be sore.”
Her lower lip jutted out in a cute little pout.
“Plus, I need to hold you.”
She let out a sigh, but I could see her relenting. My girl was tired, it showed in her dropping gaze.
“Okay,” she said as she snuggled closer to my chest.
I feathered a sweet kiss across her lips and grinned when her eyes closed. I’d been right, she needed to sleep. I wrapped my arm across her middle and stared at the love of my life.
“Are we gonna set a date now?” I whispered.
Those pretty eyes popped open and a dazzling smile appeared. “Yeah. I’m ready when you are.”
I slipped my hand into her glossy, black hair, and ran my hands through it. She hummed in pleasure and her lids slid closed once again.
“How’s tomorrow?” I semi-teased.
If it was possible, I’d do it in a heartbeat.
Laying boneless and half asleep, she murmured, “Sounds good.”
In the next second, small puffs of air slid past her flawless-pink lips and the daintiest of snores trickled out of her small body.
She was fucking perfect.
