"Come for me again," he demands. "Come on my cock."
The combination of his words, his touch, the relentless thrust of his hips pushes me toward another orgasm. This one builds faster, sharper than the last one.
"Ethan—"
"That's my good girl. Come on, baby. Give it to me."
I shatter. My pussy clenches around him, waves of pleasure crashing through me so intense I see white. I scream his name, nails digging into his shoulders.
"Fuck, Lily—" His rhythm falters. "I'm?—"
He buries himself deep and comes with a guttural groan, his whole body shuddering with release.
We collapse together in a tangle of sweaty limbs and racing hearts. For a long moment, neither of us moves.
Finally, Ethan pulls out carefully and disposes of the condom. Then he's back, gathering me in his arms.
"You're crying," he says, concerned, wiping at the tears streaming down my face.
"Happy tears," I assure him. "That was... I've never..."
"I know." He kisses my forehead. "Me neither."
"Really?"
"Really. That was..." He seems to struggle for words. "That was making love, Lily. Not just fucking. I've had sex before. But I've never made love to someone. Not like that."
Fresh tears spill over. "I felt it, too."
"In a good way?"
"In the best way." I burrow closer to him. "I feel safe with you."
"You are safe. You are mine and as long as you are mine, you will be safe." His arms tighten around me. "We're doing this damn thing, aren't we?"
"We're really doing this."
"No regrets?"
"Not a single one."
CHAPTER 10
Three months later...
I'm sitting in Chloe's coffee shop, laptop open, working on the final mockups for Dr. Chen's medical practice rebrand when my phone buzzes.
Ethan: Dinner at my place tonight?
Lily: Your place is my place now, remember?
Ethan: Our place. I stand corrected.
Lily: What time?
Ethan: Six. And bring your appetite. I'm making something special.
I smile at the screen.
