“Uh-HUH,” she said with a grin.
“Good,” I whispered, and kissed her.
She pushed against my chest, forcing me back enough to look down at her.
“Now I wantyouto have fun,” she breathed.
“I already am.”
“I want you to come.”
“I will, eventually.”
“I want you to come,” she begged.
“Why?”
“I want to feel you come while you’re inside me,” she said insistently.
“But – ”
“Please.”
I sighed. The best part was over, apparently.
“Okay,” I relented as I started to pull out of her.
“Wait – what are you doing?!” she asked frantically as she clawed at my arms with her fingers, trying to keep me inside her.
“Getting a condom.”
She paused for a long moment… then whispered, “You don’t need one.”
I raised one eyebrow. “I thought we had to be careful.”
“You said you got tested.”
“I did, yes – ”
“Then you don’t need a condom.”
“What aboutyou,though?”
She stared up at me. “I’m on birth control.”
My breath hitched in my throat.
She was offering me what I desperately wanted – more than anything at this moment.
“You can trust me,” she whispered.
I peered down into her eyes.
“I trust you,” I whispered back.
“Then come inside me,” she whispered, and kissed me as she pulled on my arms, guiding me back inside her.
