“Come on,” she said, staring up into his eyes to help him get there. “Harder!”
That was all he had to hear.
Gene gave her what she wanted, and in the process, he gave himself what he needed.
Connection.
They were now fully a family with zero boundaries left to cross. He was no longer the outsider, but a full member with all of the rights of any of the husbands.
And that was all it took.
Gene knew he was on the edge, and there was no holding off. The Jack, Jim, and Jose had made him way too easy to lose control.
Because he was at the end.
Tugging on her piercing, Elizabeth came, her body rippling with pleasure. It was enough to pull Gene from the ledge.
He exploded, his body shattering apart, his first man-on-woman orgasm.
And he liked it.
It felt like every other orgasm. Honestly, he wasn’t sure what he was expecting, but this felt good.
Damn good.
Laying over her, his body shivered with that escaping pleasure, and her hands were on his back.
Soothing him.
Now, she needed to know.
“You good, big guy?” she asked.
When he lifted his head, she saw the emotion, and immediately, her first instinct was to protect him.
“It’s okay,” she said.
Was it?
Absolutely.
What started as trepidation, and him wanting a family, was now at a whole new level.
How did he thank her for that?
How did you thank someone for saving your life?
To show Elizabeth, he found her mouth, and sank into a kiss, hoping she’d understand how huge this was for him.
In all of his life, he’d never wanted this.
He never expected to have it.
Only, now, he did.
Gene understood what it felt like to be whole, and part of something bigger than himself. It wasn’t just a marriage, but a family that offered everything he needed to feel alive.
Compassion.
