“Can I take off your shirt?” he asks, his big eyes locking on mine.

I nod and without saying anything he slowly guides it over my head. We both sit up looking at each other and he reaches out to kiss me. He lifts my chin and softly presses his lips to my jaw, then to my mouth. His tongue pushes against mine on a deep moan. The way we’re kissing is so at odds with the man I’ve known for most of my life, he’s so tender. I drape my arms around his neck and his come around my waist as he slowly shoves me against the sheets.

Pulling back on a deep groan, his eyes glide over my body and I press my hands against my heated cheeks.

“Don’t hide. You’re beautiful, baby. I can’t believe you’re mine,” he says with so much emotion in his hoarse voice I feel it in my heart. I grab the back of his head and guide him on top of me. Reaching above me, he pushes a box of tissues aside and grabs what looks like a condom while he flashes me a grin. He puts it between his teeth and tears the side before he pulls it over his length. I look down between our bodies and my breath catches.

“Are you okay?” he asks, his voice hoarse and almost heavy at the same time.

I nod and press my nose against his. He takes the back of my knee and guides my leg up and slides into me on a soft moan. He’s so gentle and sweet as he breaks through my barrier, and I cry out his name in pleasure. The pain slowly makes way for pure bliss. He rests his forehead against mine and stops moving as I feel him pulsing inside me. I run my hands down his tattooed back, and he kisses my forehead, his lips lingering on my skin while he trembles.

“You feel so good,” he groans against my ear.

It’s so intimate, the way he slowly starts to move while he keeps asking if I’m okay. He hits that sweet spot deep inside and the way his pubic hair teases my engorged clit has me clawing at his back.

He stills inside me when I lay my hands against his chest. “Tian, it feels so good.”

He sighs, his hot breath tickling my neck. “I want to stay inside you like this forever,” he confesses, resting his full weight on top of me. He pushes two fingers in my mouth as he disappears into me, and I moan around his fingers.

“I want more, Tian, please don’t stop.”

“You want that?” he asks, grabbing my waist, a lazy grin spreading on his lips while he locks eyes with me. “I’m not holding back. You better fucking take it,” he growls deeply and slams his mouth over mine to seal our lips in a breathless kiss.

“Tian,” I cry as he goes in deeper and pulls out so slow my head falls back against the pillow.

“I’m finally fucking you,” he says, his voice full of awe. “Breathe through it, baby.”

“How am I supposed to breathe through it when you’re so fucking big?” I say, alarmed as he pushes in deeper.

He smirks at me, and I want to slap that arrogant face, but the bastard would probably get off on it. “I’d ask you to smack me but the look in your eyes tells me no,” he says as sweat droplets glide down his temple. His arm muscles are straining as he keeps his rhythm steady while he hovers above me, careful not to crush me with his full weight. The way his mouth parts tells me he’s doing everything in his power not to plow into me, but to take it slow.

I scrape my knuckles over his shoulders. “It feels so good, but it hurts too.” I cry out the moment he thrusts his hips forward, taking my breath away.

“You better take it,” he grits out, sliding in deeper as he pushes my leg up.

My head falls back against the satin pillow as I yell out his name. “Please Tian, don’t stop.” Tears spring to my eyes, “I can’t take it, you’re too deep, fuck.”

He licks at the tear escaping down my cheek. “You belong to me Dash.” His voice is filled with emotion.

“I want you too,” I confess, he belongs to me. He pushes inside of me again, never stopping and we both start to tremble. Although we haven’t spent every day together, knowing he’s mine doesn’t make me fear the future.

“Dash,” he cries out and comes so hard my eardrums are ringing. I close my eyes as he slams his hips forward and rubs at my clit, and I come sighing his name.

His chest is heaving when he flips us over so I’m straddling him, his hands moving to my ass, holding me in place while my cheeks turn red.

“Don’t be shy, I know you want to take control.” He chuckles, his chest vibrating against my outstretched hand.

“I’m not,” I murmur, pressing my other hand next to his head in the sheets as I crash against his body, and he wraps his arms around me.

“Want to go for round two, while you’re wearing the shirt?” he teases, and I slap his stomach playfully as I lock lips with him, taking control.

Lying on the bed, our feet dangle over each side while we catch our breath. He turns his head in my direction, and I do the same. “That was,” he begins as his cheeks flush again. I cup his jaw and he closes his eyes, my name escaping from his lips as he presses his lips to mine.

“A promise for the future?” I ask.

He nods and hugs me close to his chest, burying his face in my long hair. “A promise I’ll never hurt you. You’re a part of me. We might not be able to tell you everything we’re doing, but it’s all for you. Everything I’ve ever done and will do is for you. I want you, Jade.”

“I,” I begin, and he looks at me with a hunger in his eyes. “I want you too,” I grit out.
