She faced me, her gaze never leaving mine as she worked the soap between her palms.When she placed her hands on my chest, I nearly came undone.Her touch on my bare skin always felt good, but now I felt like she was the only glue holding me together.My insides were raw and bleeding.Ada soothed those lacerations and helped me to heal with every single touch.
“I was so afraid,” she admitted quietly, her hands sliding down my abdomen.“Not that they’d kill me.That I’d never see you again.”
I caught her wrist, bringing her soapy hand to my lips.“I would’ve torn the world apart to find you.”
She smiled, the bruises on her face somehow making her beauty more fierce.“I need this,” Ada insisted, her eyes fierce with determination.“I need to feel you.To know we’re both alive.Please, Jag.”
I couldn’t deny her.Couldn’t deny myself.With a growl, I lifted her, pressing her back against the shower wall.Her legs wrapped around my waist immediately.Her pussy kissed the head of my dick, opening to me.I positioned myself at her entrance, pausing just long enough to make sure she was ready.I circled her hip and found her clit.She thrust her hips to my touch, riding the length of my dick between her legs so her clit scraped over my length.
“Fuck, Ada,” I gasped against her throat, trying to hold still, to be gentle with her bruised body.Water droplets clung to her lashes, her eyes dark with desire.“I need to be inside you.”
“Yes…”
I pushed forward slowly, watching her carefully for any sign of discomfort.Her mouth fell open in a silent gasp as I filled her, her pussy gripping me like a vise.The sensation nearly brought me to my knees.Being inside Ada was always incredible, but now, after nearly losing her, it felt like salvation.
I rocked into her slowly, savoring the connection as our bodies moved together in the steamy shower.Her fingernails dug into my ass, her head falling to my shoulder as she gasped my name.
“Look at me,” I whispered, needing to see her eyes.“I need to see you.”
Ada tilted her head to the side and looked back at me.Her gaze locked with mine.
I quickened my pace until we were both grunting.I circled her clit with my fingers while I fucked her with increasing urgency.I tried to keep my movements as gentle as I could, but there came a moment when I surged into her harder than I intended.
She didn’t complain.In fact, she urged me faster with her hand gripping my ass.Her other arm held her braced against the shower wall.
Ada screamed and I gave myself the mental okay to follow her over the edge.Her cunt milked my cock greedily, taking my cum deep inside her pussy.I held myself as deep as I could go for as long as I could.All too soon, my cock softened and I finally fell against her, trapping her body between mine and the shower wall.
“I love you,” she whispered against my lips.“I love you so much, Jag.”
“I love you too,” I replied, the words coming easier than I expected.“More than anything.”
We finished washing in comfortable silence, the urgency gone to be replaced by a bone-deep exhaustion.I stepped out first, grabbing a towel to give my body a cursory wipe down before getting a clean one to dry her.I wrapped the towel around her body before removing the now wet bandages on her wrists.It didn’t take long to rebandage them with the first aid kit under the sink.She leaned against me, swaying slightly with fatigue.
“Come on,” I said, guiding her to the bedroom.“We both need some sleep.”
“Yeah.”She didn’t move and I had to smile.
I picked her up and carried her to the bed.Shedding our towels, I tossed them to the floor before putting her in the bed and following her down.
We lay tangled in the sheets, her head pillowed on my chest, my arm wrapped around her shoulders.“I never had much to lose before,” I said finally, staring at the ceiling because I couldn’t look at her while admitting this.“Made surviving inside easier.”Ada remained quiet, listening.“But you,” I continued, my voice dropping to barely above a whisper.“Losing you would have destroyed me.Not just hurt.Not just fucked me up.Destroyed me.”I swallowed hard, my throat tight.“There wouldn’t have been anything left of me worth saving.”
Her hand found mine, fingers intertwining.She pressed her lips to my chest, right over my heart.“Then I guess I better stick around,” she murmured against my skin.“Because I’m pretty attached to what’s here.”
I brought our joined hands to my mouth, kissing her knuckles.The simple gesture felt more intimate than anything we’d just done.“There’s not much I wouldn’t do for you, Ada.Just tell me what you want and I’m there.”
She pushed up on one elbow to look at me, her eyes steady on mine as she gave me the most breathtakingly beautiful smile.“I know,” she said simply.“That’s one of many reasons I love you.”
“Love you too,” I whispered against her hair, the words feeling both foreign and inevitable on my tongue.“More than I know how to say.”
Ada nestled against me and stretched languidly with a contented sigh.“You don’t need to say it,” she assured me.“You show me every day.”
I would stand between her and any threat, always.Now, she was here in my arms, her heartbeat strong against my chest, and that was enough.More than enough.It was everything.
