I slide into her. The feeling of her gripping my cock without any barrier draws a low growl from somewhere deep inside of me.
“I love you, Sebastian.” Her tender voice quakes with the words. “I’ll never stop.”
“I’ll never stop loving you, Matilda. Never.”
A knockat the apartment door turns us both at the same time. I look toward the microwave. It’s after midnight.
I’m immediately on high alert.
“Go into the bedroom, Matilda. Lock the door.”
She starts toward the apartment door. She’s dressed in nothing but a pair of black lace panties and one of my black T-shirts. It’s too big for her and looks more like a mini-dress than a shirt, but I love that she wanted to wear it.
She slid it on as we were putting my belongings away. In her room; next to her things.
“I think I know who it is,” she calls back over her shoulder.
Panic rushes over me and I stalk toward her, scooping her into my arms from behind before she reaches the door. “Let me check first. Please, Matilda.”
She turns to face me. Realization washes over her expression. She knows that I’m thinking about the asshole that sent her the black roses. “I think it’s Maya and Julian. Maya texted me earlier. She said that Frannie told her that a tall, dark and handsome man loves me.”
I laugh. “What did you reply to that?”
Her lips press against my chin as her hands land on my bare chest. “I was too busy making love to that man to care about anyone else in the world.”
I kiss her again. It’s slow and deep. My cock aches for another taste of her. I feel it harden inside my black sweatpants.
Another series of raps from the door break our kiss.
“Who is it?” I ask as I stare into her eyes.
“It’s us,” Maya’s voice calls back. “Tell me you two are together, Sebastian. Tell me you love my little sister.”
I take Matilda’s hand in mine and swing open the door. “I love this woman more than life itself and one day she’s going to be my wife.”
Maya throws herself into Matilda’s arms with a squeal as Julian tugs me into a warm hug.
“You couldn’t have done better, Sebastian.” His hand pats me on the back. “I’m happy for you. I’m happy for you both.”
We all move back into the apartment before I close the door.
I turn back and look at Matilda. Her smile is radiant.
“I told you that they were meant to be together.” Maya wraps her arms around Julian. He tugs her into his side. “Look how perfect they are together.”
“I see it,” he says before he presses a kiss to her forehead.
Matilda’s hand reaches for mine and I grab it. “Thank you, Maya, for bringing this man into my life. I didn’t know I could feel like this. I didn’t think I’d ever be this happy.”
I look down at her. “This is just the beginning, Matilda. Every day after this will be better than the one before that. I promise you that.”
“I promise I’ll love you forever, Sebastian.”
I kiss her hand. “That’s all I need. That’s all I’ll ever need.”
