“Come on.” Liem guides me upstairs, the wood surrounding us as we ascend.
His place smells like cedar mixed with pine and I’ll never get enough.
In the bathroom, he turns on the water and steps into my space, touching his forehead to mine.
I love how we touch each other. Our way of healing. Making sure each of us is safe even if we’re standing right here. “You sure you’re okay?”
I nod, my eyes closed. “Yes. I am now. I promise. I’m always fine as long as I’m with you.”
He kisses me gently and I moan into his touch. They’ll never be enough words to describe how I feel when we connect like this.
He pulls me closer, so we’re flush against each other, our souls intertwining. “You feel so good, Danika. The piece of my puzzle that was missing.”
I smile against his lips as I take his mouth, exploring his tongue with mine. He lifts me up and into the shower. We’re both fully clothed but we don’t care, we share this moment, and nothing else matters.
The hot water pours over us and Liem drops to his knees.
“What are you doing?” I blink the water from my eyes.
He stares up at me, his dark strands wet against his face, but he doesn’t say anything as he pulls my soaked leggings down. I step out of each leg, and he tosses then with my panties to the bathroom floor. My breathing picks up as he kisses my inner thighs and then settles in between them inhaling. I lay my head against the tiled wall as he begins to slowly lick me.
My mouth parts seductively and my fist grips his hair with each movement of his tongue. It’s a slam of pleasure and I cry out from it. “Oh god. Don’t stop. Please don’t stop.”
He continues moving his tongue over me and with each flick, I cry out louder. My body starts to quiver, and my mind starts to unravel in such a tense sensation I can’t control. I tremble from the intensity.
He joins me to a stand, running a hand up my waist, kissing me as I groan.
Without speaking, I remove his shirt, then feel and admire every ribbed part of his stomach and trace along his tattoos.
I meet his gaze. “Take off your pants. I need you.”
He keeps his eyes locked with mine as he obeys my desperate request, the water still streaming down upon us.
He yanks me close, lifting my leg and then drives inside me. It was fast and controlling but hot as hell.
Both of our screams bounce off the walls, echoing. With each thrust, each rhythmic movement, our scars are being washed away. I’m being brought back to life. To full life.
His eyes are set ablaze as he peers into me, then nuzzles into the crook of my neck. My arms securely wrapped around his and I’m left yelling with every sensation that grows closer to climax.
This is it. This is who I’m supposed to be with.
We both give into our bodies and let go.
With the water now cold, the raw feeling brings my body back from the journey.
Liem lowers my leg, tracing his gaze over me but I don’t shudder. I let him look because it’s a look of love, not control.
He kills the water then snags a towel, wrapping it around my shoulders. I look up at him, his brown eyes seeming lighter, and I kiss him. He tugs gently at the nape of my neck pressing me harder into him then we break apart, sharing the moment.
“Love is incredible,” I say ignorantly, considering I’ve never experienced such a thing before.
“Love with you is incredible,” he says knowingly as if I’m his entire world.
He helps me out, then picks me up bridal style, carrying me to his room.
I nosey around inside. The walls are the same wood as the rest of the house, but it’s bare. All his books are back at the clubhouse and there’s no shelves here. I do, however, inhale his cotton navy blue sheets as he sets me down on the bed.
Still naked, I do just that, letting the warmth engulf me. “You have really comfortable sheets.”
