The view from where I was was perfect now, the way that her body curved and her eyes glowed with excitement. Rhea slowly lowered herself onto my hardness, and I couldn’t help but let out a deep, primal groan as she did so. It was as if we were destined to be here.
“Whoa,” I breathed, drinking in the sensation of being inside of her and the heat that was between us.
She leaned forward, placing one hand on my shoulder for balance, before she began to move. Immediately, my muscles tightened and I began to match her rhythm. It was more than perfect. Every moment led us closer to ecstasy, but both of us were careful, slow; not wanting this to end too fast.
The way Rhea’s hips shifted, the way that her chest moved with her breathing, the way her nails slightly dug into me… It was intoxicating, and I couldn’t take my eyes off of her. I put my hands on her waist to help her keep her balance, and she liftedher arm to sit back and lift her head. The change in angle sent a ripple of electricity through my very bones, and I let out a grunt.
“Damn, that’s good,” I growled, closing my eyes for a moment to really embrace the feeling. “You’re just… Wow.”
“Nice?” she asked breathlessly, and I chuckled.
“Yeah,” I agreed, the word stretching long in tune with the rhythm of our bodies.
Then, I had another urge. I wanted to put her back up against the wall, and I had just the firefighting trick up my sleeve for doing that.
I pulled her close and rolled over, before getting to my feet with her in my arms and her legs around my waist. Throughout the process, I remained inside of her, and by the time I was standing, her eyes were wide with surprise.
“How did you do that?” she asked as I carried her forward and pressed her against the wall beside the door to the hallway.
“I have a certain set of sharp skills,” I answered with a wink, lowering my hands again so that I could hold her by the waist and control our rhythm.
“Insane,” Rhea breathed, our faces only a few inches apart. She looked at my lips, and I leaned forward to kiss her. Our bodies were now pressed together so tightly that I could feel her heart racing against mine, could feel our breathing match one another. It was as if the world belonged to us in that moment.
I knew that I wasn’t going to last much longer, no matter what I tried, even as slow as we were going. She was simply all-consuming, a power that she used to full effect in her kiss, and in the way she grasped at my shoulders.
I began to move faster, harder, deeper, every moment bringing me closer to that cliff. Rhea moaned into my mouth as we kissed,her tongue wrestling with mine with ever more urgency. It was as if she wanted to chase me to the end, to urge me to get to the end.
“Shit,” I finally said as I pulled away from the kiss and lifted her off me to finish outside, but she immediately got down on her knees and put her mouth around me. It felt as if fireworks were exploding behind my eyelids as I came and she swallowed, and by the end of it, my heart was hammering and my breath racing.
I slid down against the wall beside her and pulled her into my chest. “Well. That was incredible.”
“Mm, it was,” she said, nuzzling her head into me. I played with her hair as we both cooled down and processed the insanity of that rendezvous. I laid back with my head against the wall and wondered how it was possible that life could be this good.
We simply sat like that for a while until a question came into my mind. I wasn’t sure this was the right time to ask, but I knew that it would bother me forever until I actually knew the answer.
“Rhea,” I started, and she looked up at me with eyes that seemed hungry again. “Can I ask you something?”
“Sure,” she smiled, tracing shapes on my chest with one finger.
“Be honest,” I insisted as seriously as I could. “Am I better than Ash?”
Instead of actually answering, Rhea simply laughed and moved so that she was sitting on my lap, facing me. She began to kiss me, and I instantly knew that I was ready for the next round.

Rhea
Beck’s visit was still playing in my mind by the time that I went to work the next morning. He’d stayed for three full rounds of fun before he left, and I had taken a shower and almost immediately gone to bed. Who knew it could be so tiring?
“Rhea?” Gale, one of the floor assistants, said my name as if she’d already asked a question that I hadn’t answered.
“Hmm?” I asked, glancing over at her. She had a few boxes in her hand that I recognized from the back. “Oh, yeah, you can restock those.”
“I was asking if you’re going to order more,” Gale pointed out with one eyebrow raised. “You okay? You’ve been out of it all day.”
“Oh, sorry, yeah, it’s on my list for the afternoon,” I said, smiling awkwardly. “I guess I’m just a bit scatterbrained today. Sorry.”
