His legs shook with the effort of holding back. He loved the way she moved, the way her fingers felt digging into his skin. Her hair stuck to the bark of the tree as she writhed, moving her body tighter in him.
Fuck, he had missed this.
He never wanted it to end.
Kira arched her back. “Joshua,” she cried.
Her pussy fluttered around him. Her face turned pink and her eyes went wide with mingled shock and pleasure. Her mouth fell open, and at first she made no noise. Her legs tightened around his waist, and Joshua thrust in hard once, twice, his teeth grinding as he fought his release. He needed to see her come, needed to know if the reality of her cries was as sweet as he remembered.
Her spine arched suddenly, pushing away from the tree. Her jaw dropped open, and she let out a cry of pleasure. She sucked in a deep breath and arched further, her breasts crushed against his chest as she screamed. It echoed off the trees as she clamped around him, shudders rocking her body as her climax took her.
The sound of her orgasm sent him over the edge. His orgasm hit him hard. He gasped into her mouth as he rubbed her clit, wanting to draw out her pleasure for as long as he could. He lost himself to the motions, to their bodies joining as Kira’s voice filled his ears.
The shockwaves washed over them, and they both sagged. They sank to the ground, wrapped around each other, trembling. Joshua buried his face into her neck, his hand winding into her hair.
When he caught his breath, he realized he was still inside of her. A primal, possessive pleasure washed through him. He rocked himself, testing the friction so soon after his orgasm. His cock throbbed lightly, as though it wanted to have the pleasure of her again but was unable to muster up the strength.
“Wow,” Kira breathed. Her hands rested lightly on his lower back. “That was even better than I remember.”
Joshua kissed her neck, enjoying the salty taste of her sweat. “It was. I just wish we had the same stamina we did as teens, right?”
Kira chuckled.
He smiled as he lazily moved his tongue over her collarbone. He felt so much closer to her than he had the first time they’d been together. Was it only his experience, or was it because he knew himself so much better.
He withdrew from her, glancing down at himself as he slid out of her.
His heart froze.
No. No, no, no! He hadn’t used protection. Hadn’t even thought about it. Cold washed through him, his muscles bunching. He lifted himself onto his elbows, putting distance between them. But he couldn’t bring himself to look her in the eye.
“When was your last period?” he grunted.
She stiffened. “Why?”
Joshua closed his eyes. “Guess it doesn’t matter. You’ll need to take the morning-after pill anyway. It’ll be best if you go on birth control too.”
“Why would I do that?” Kira snapped.
“If we’re going to do this again—” he started.
“What makes you think we’ll do it again?” Kira pushed at his chest. “It was fun, I’ll grant you that. But it’s just sex.”
Joshua eased out of her. “Just sex?”
“Just sex. And I can take care of myself. I’m not taking pills that mess with my hormones just because you don’t want to wear a condom.”
“I can wear a condom.” Joshua rolled off her, confused by her behavior. She knew he didn’t want to father children. Why was she so angry about this? “You said it yourself. We have to stop this push and pull.”
Kira rolled away from him and grabbed her bra. “I meant the physical desire. That’s all this is, Joshua. We wanted to fuck, and now we have. If that’s how we make our marriage work, then let’s fuck our brains out. But you’re the one who has to ensure no babies, since you’re the one who doesn’t want babies. Don’t act like it’s anything more than that.”
“Don’t say that. Don’t reduce what we have to just fucking.”
She pulled her shirt over her head, stuffing her bra into a large pocket on her skirt. “What we have? What we have is sexual tension and incompatibility.”
Joshua stuffed himself back into his pants and pulled them into place. “We have more than that. We have something, Kira. Don’t deny it.”
“Why not?” Kira stood, brushing her skirt off. She didn’t look at him. “It’s what you did after you took my virginity.”
