“One hundred percent. I’m doing this for me, for us, because I want to be a better man, the kind of man you deserve, but I’ll need your support, because it won’t be easy.”
“You’ve got it. Whatever you need. I’m there for you.”
A giant layer of stress lifts off my shoulders as we grin at one another. “You’re really back? To stay for good?”
She props up on one elbow. “I’m in this for the long haul. I’m yours. And I won’t flake on you again.” She runs her fingers around my face. “From now on, we’re a team, and nothing is going to break us apart.”
“Together,” I say.
“Together.” She leans in and kisses me deeply, probing my mouth with her tongue. My cock strains against my boxers, and I pull her in flush to me, needing to feel her body against mine. She thrusts her hips forward, moaning as my erection presses against her belly. “Ryder?” She’s breathless as she pulls back, inspecting my face. “All the secrets are laid bare now, and I want there to be nothing else between us.” Sitting up, she pulls her silk nightie up over her head. She isn’t wearing any underwear, and my dick pulses with need. “Make love to me?”
I push her gently back down on the bed, crawling over her. “It would be my absolute pleasure.” I’ve never made love to a woman before. I’ve fucked. Hard and fast. A purely physical release without any emotion, but as I worship Zeta’s body, licking, sucking, and kissing her from head to toe, I know, without a shadow of a doubt, that this experience is going to be different.
I climb out of the bed, pulling the top drawer of my bedside table open as I kick my boxers off.
“I’m on the pill,” Zeta confirms. “And I’m clean. If you are too, I want to do this without a condom. I want to feel all of you, Ryder.”
Precum leaks out of my cock at her words. “I’m clean too. Are you sure?” I crawl back into the bed.
She nods, curling her hand around the back of my neck and pulling me down on top of her. “I’ve never been surer of anything. And I’ve never done this with anyone else.”
“I haven’t either.”
The biggest smile spreads across her face as she hooks her legs around my waist. “We didn’t get to experience a lot of firsts together, but I’m glad we get to share this one.”
“Me too, baby.” I crash my mouth down on hers, kissing the shit out of her lips as we rock against one another. I trail a line of kisses down her neck and along her collarbone, stopping to worship her gorgeous tits. She almost bucks off the bed when I tug at her nipples, biting and then lapping the sting away. My mouth explores every inch of her soft flesh as I move down her body, positioning myself in between her legs.
I lick her slit from top to bottom, burying my nose in her pussy and soaking in her essence. She smells divine. Tastes divine. And I’m too worked up to wait. I devour her pussy with my tongue and my fingers, and when I slide my pinky into her ass, she goes wild, screaming and writhing as she comes all over my face. Without leaving her time to recover, I slide inside her in one fast thrust. We both groan, and I don’t move, holding perfectly still, just enjoying the feeling of being inside her for the first time with no barrier between us.
“Ryder,” she cries, tears leaking down her face as she’s overcome with emotion. I know, because I’m feeling it too. Leaning down, I kiss her tears away, fighting my own emotions. “I love the feel of you inside me,” she adds, fisting her hands in my hair. “But I need you to move, baby. I want to feel you moving inside me.”
Holding her hands above her head, I thread my fingers in hers as I start to slowly move inside her for the first time. Our eyes are locked on one another’s, and everything I’m feeling is radiating back at me from her adoring gaze. We move gently against one another, in a way I’ve never experienced, and my mind is blown, my heart so full of love for this woman, the only woman who has ever meant anything to me. “You complete me,” I whisper against her mouth, capturing her lips in mine. “You are the other half of my heart and soul, and I want this with you forever.”
Her hands move up and down my spine, and she emits the most delicious little noises as we rock against one another. “No one else has ever made me feel the way you do,” she tells me. “I will love you every day for the rest of my life.”
We don’t speak after that, but no words are needed. I make love to her, softly and slowly, drowning in the emotions filtering between us, enjoying every thrust, every caress, feeling our bond intensifying as we stare at one another with nothing but love between us. And when we both reach a peak, crashing together, I know tonight has changed me, rebuilt something inside me that’s long been broken, and that I’ll never be the same again.

Wakingup with Zeta wrapped around me, all naked and warm, is the best feeling in the world. “Morning, beautiful,” I whisper when she finally stirs a half hour later. I’m dying for a piss, but I didn’t want to wake her. Didn’t want to tear myself from her arms. If she knew I’d just been staring at her incessantly, like the lovesick fool I am, she’d definitely start reassessing her stalker theories.
We both freshen up and then retreat to bed again. My cock is already rock hard, and when I push my fingers inside her, she’s every bit as aroused as me. Crawling into my lap, she slowly lowers onto my dick, and I see stars. She starts off slow, softly moving up and down, her tits bouncing, nipples in stiff peaks, and I thrust up inside her, moaning as she rocks my world.
When she picks up her pace, grinding down on me, I grab hold of her hips, thrusting into her more aggressively before sitting up and pounding into her as she digs her fingers into my shoulders, riding me roughly. Our kissing is frenzied, and our hands frantically explore one another as we fuck, the crescendo building inside me until a familiar tingling in my spine signals I’m close. We’re both sweating and panting when we explode together, moaning and clutching onto one another as waves of ecstasy wash over us.
After, I spoon her from behind and we start making plans for the future, talking for hours about everything we want to see and do together, and when we finally wander out of the bedroom, late in the afternoon, I’m like a different man.
The weeks that follow are nothing short of blissful. Getting to spend my days and nights with the woman of my dreams is something I never thought I’d get to enjoy. We’ve missed out on a lot, and I take none of it for granted.
But we can’t avoid reality forever. The guys pack up and leave for the city once the album is a wrap. We’ve decided to stay here for the moment, neither one of us in any hurry to return to the city. Zeta is busy writing the biography, and that gives me plenty of time to think about where I go from here, but I’m struggling to draw any conclusions.
I’ve never missed a drop-off with Ren before, but I didn’t show last time. There’s no way I’m giving that monster any more of my hard-earned cash, and after what he did to Zeta, I don’t trust myself with him. Don’t trust I won’t kill the bastard with my bare hands. He’s furious, sending copious texts to the burner cell he gave me all those years ago. I’m tempted to dump it in the ocean, but I won’t, because it’s evidence. Evidence I’m hoping, one day, to be in a position to use against him.
“You look a million miles away,” Zeta says, circling her arms around me from behind as I put the finishing touches to our dinner.
Turning the heat off at the stove, I turn around, reeling her in for a long kiss. As usual, my dick gets excited, and I can’t help pressing my semi against her.
“You’re insatiable,” she says, nipping at my lower lip.
