I froze, meeting her eyes and feeling the weight pressing down on my chest. Her words lit me up, soothing every leftover wound I’d gained throughout the years. She lovedme.Words I yearned for years. I exhaled shakily and pressed my mouth to her temple, then her cheek, then back to her lips, lingering therelike I was committing the moment to muscle memory. “Em, honey, I’ve loved you for a long time. No might about it. I’m foolishly in love with you.”
She smiled at that, eyes shining, and leaned into me like it was the easiest thing in the world. Like this was where she’d always belonged. “Then show me. Love me. Be with me.”
How could I say no to that?
I stood, carrying her with me as I stepped out of the tub and carried her to the bed. I set her on the edge and kissed her hard. In every dream or fantasy I had about sleeping with Em, she never looked at me like this. With this much love and adoration. The reality of being with Em surpassed every dream scenario by a long shot.
That made my hands shake as I crawled over her. I kissed her neck, over her chest, and tugged her perfect pink nipple into my mouth. “You like this?”
“God, yes.” She dug her fingers into my back, thrusting up like she wanted me closer. “When you do it, everything tingles.”
“Ride those tingles out, Em,” I whispered, taking my time on her nipples. They were so pert and hard, and her breasts were the perfect size for me. They fit my hands so well, and I cupped them, staring down at her as lust overtook me. “The first time needs to be fast. I’m dying from looking at you. The next round will be slower, okay?”
She grinned, her eyes lighting up. “Like what you see, Noah?”
“Don’t give me that mouth right now, I won’t survive it.”
“No mouth?” The little minx sat up, nudging my chest with her hand. She couldn’t actually move me, but I let her move me so I fell onto my back.
“What are you—what. The. Fuck.”
She took me in her mouth, sucking me so hard I hit the back of her throat, and I knew, for the rest of my life, I’d never feelbetter than this moment. My eyes rolled into my head. My heart stopped beating. My skinbuzzedfrom pleasure as she sucked mehard.I couldn’t think. I couldn’t function.
I just felt.
My woman.
“Mmgod.”
She giggled at my absurd sound, but holy shit. My thighs tensed, and my balls tightened as she was unrelenting in her pace. “Em,stop.”
“Oh, you don’t like?”
“I’m seeing colors I didn’t know exist, but baby, I want to feel you. We can—I hope—no, I beg, do that again. Soon. So soon.”
“Noah Abbott, you’re blushing and stuttering. Are you okay?” She grinned and crawled up my body, her body flushed and lips swollen.
“I’m obsessed with you, now, slide onto me, please. Let me feel you before I lose my fucking mind.”
She finally listened and slowly slid over my cock, pausing when I was at her entrance. “I don’t need protection if you’re okay with it, Noah.”
“I don’t either. Tested start of season.”
“Then, I want to feel everything.” She took me inside her, and I saw stars. True stars. She rolled those hips, taking me deeper as I gripped her waist and watched. I admired the way her nipples beaded and her breasts bounced. Her hair curled around her temple, and sweat pooled over her chest, andfuck,this woman was unreal. “Shit, Noah, you feel good.”
“You. Angel.” I groaned as she leaned forward and kissed me. “Fuck.”
“I like you like this, putty for me.”
“Always for you,” I whispered, then kissed her hard. I let her set the pace for a bit, but then I couldn’t take it. Every part of mybody overheated, and if I didn’t come, I would lose a limb. It was gonna happen. “Baby?”
“Yes?” She smiled against my teeth.
“I need to fuck you hard. Can I?”
“Yes.”
That was all it took. I flipped us over, put her legs around my shoulders, and thrust into her hard and fast. I couldn’t stop. She clenched around me, and I reached down to pinch her clit, guiding her and coaxing her into another orgasm, but time and space lost all meaning as the orgasm built. She moaned my name, and hearing her sayNoahin her breathy pleasure-filled voice… it set me off.
