“That’s awful,” she said, her hand over her mouth.
“It’s my fuckin’ family. I didn’t even bother to look for her. I took off for Colorado that day.”
“So you never heard from her?”
“It’d been a few years, but then she started calling me whenever she needed money. I know she’s still using.”
“I bet you give her money.” Her tone was matter-of-fact, not judging. She already knew the answer because she’d discovered that, deep down, he had a heart of gold.
“Yeah. I shouldn’t but I do. Fuck if I know why.”
She moved closer and straddled him, her hair brushing against him as she bent over. “Because you’re a wonderful person. I wouldn’t expect anything less of you.” She kissed him passionately, hard and wet, while he grabbed a fistful of her hair, pulling her down even farther.
“You do something to me, woman. You’re the first woman who has my heart—all of it.” He sank his mouth into the curve of her neck and shoulder and an electric charge zinged through her.
“Oh, Diablo,” she murmured through parted lips.
“I fuckin’ love hearing you say my name, sweet pea.” He sat up and rolled her onto her back, his face hovering over hers. His mouth crushed hers with such intensity it took her breath away. It was like he wanted to devour her whole, claim her mouth as his alone.
She snaked her arms tightly around his neck as they kissed wildly under the blue sky, the river below them rushing over rocks, in sync with their fevered desire. Diablo glided her shirt over her head and then unclasped her bra, her breasts falling out. Like a starving man, he gorged himself on her creamy flesh, sucking her nipples to hard, reddened points.
Lust mingled with love crashed inside her like a tidal wave as her sexual hunger grew. His touches, his scent, his taste fueled her arousal, creating delightful shivers from the tips of her buds straight to her throbbing pussy. As he played with her tits, he pushed her pants down over her hips, his callused fingertips catching on her panties.
“I can’t fuckin’ get enough of you,” he rasped as he placed little kisses all over her body, making her wiggle from want. Then his fingers slipped between the slick puffy folds of her sex.
Frantically, she searched for his zipper. “I want you inside me.” He guided her hand to his crotch and she unzipped his jeans, releasing his granite-hard dick. The beads of precome left a small wet trail on her belly as he shrugged off his pants.
And then he was at her entrance, shoving into her while he kissed her deeply. She wrapped her legs around his waist, urging him to go faster until they were one rhythm. They clung to each other, fused together by their raw passion and lust, never wanting to let go.
Their cries of euphoria and surrender echoed in the canyon. As Diablo gripped her, his breaths short and shallow, her body and mind yielded to him completely.
She’d never felt such intense senses and emotions, and she realized she’d just experienced a life-changing moment. From that moment on, they were one, fused together by love, trust, desire, and friendship.
After he rolled off her, she cuddled in his arms, knowing she’d never be the same again.
He was her anchor and she was his, and together they could face anything.
As she gazed up at the sky, she wiped a tear that had trickled from the corner of her eye.
And then there is life.
Her smile matched the radiance of the sun.
