“What does it mean?” Claire asks. We’ve made it to the roof, waiting to enter the club. “I’ve never been able to find out. He calls me that all the time.” I hold my breath, waiting to see what Lewis will say. It’s not that I’m trying to hide the meaning, it’s just I don’t want to scare her off by telling her too soon.
“It means he has plans for you, my dear,” Lewis says with a wink before pulling Antônia to the dance floor. Claire doesn’t ask me about the meaning again. We dance until dawn before accepting Lewis’ offer of a car hire to take us back to the hotel. Still nursing a buzz, I throw the do not disturb sign on the door before we both crawl into bed.
“Alex?” Claire asks, snuggling up next to me.
“Hmmm?” I manage to moan out. My eyes have already shut as I lie on my back. Claire is laying on my shoulder with my arm around her.
“Thank you. I think that was the best night I’ve ever had. It was absolutely the best New Year’s Eve! I’m glad I got to spend it with you. I can’t think of anywhere else I would want to be.” She posted pictures of our night to Instagram on the way back to the hotel. I watched as her friends commented excitedly about them.
She yawns once before quickly falling asleep. Listening to her breath turn steady, I pull her even closer to me.
“I cannae think of anywhere I would ever want tae be withoot ye,mo ghaol.” I drift away, holding Claire in my arms. Everything seems right with the universe. We sleep well past noon before I wake her up, lying between her legs.
“Alex?” she asks sleepily before her back arches. I laugh, wondering who else she would think would be eating her pussy. Sliding two fingers into her, I continue to play with her clit until she tightens around my fingers with a cry. Milking every second of her orgasm out of her, I finally slip my fingers out, laying my head on her stomach.
“My God, Alex. I know you didn’t learn how to do that from soccer drills,” she pants at me.
“Naw,” I answer, laughing, “but it’s amazing whit ye can learn from Google.”
“God bless Google,” she says as I start to kiss my way up her body. When I’m over her, I slowly lower my weight down, covering her. My erection is so large it’s become painful. Grinding against her heat, I hear her moan. “I need you, Alex.” I reach for a condom on the nightstand, but Claire grabs my wrist before I can reach it. I look down at her in confusion. “Just you, Alex,” she says. I push up off of her so I can look down at her face.
“This isnae something we dae on a whim. Are ye sure, Claire?” I ask. I love this woman, I’ve known that for a while, but I also don’t want to do something we will regret later. “I thought you wisnae on birth control?”
“I went for the shot right after you left to go back to Los Angeles. The doctor said it should be effective by now. He tested me when I was there, which was a joke since I haven’t had sex with anyone but you in about four years. We don’t have to,” she says, reaching for a condom.
“Claire, wait,” I say, pulling her arm back down. When her eyes are back on mine I continue, “Look, I want nothing more than tae be the only thing in ye. I get tested for damn near everything continually by the team doctors. I’ve naw been with anyone but ye in over a year, so that’s naw whit I’m worried aboot. I just dinnae want tae dae anything that ye’ll regret later.”
She cups my face in her hands. “I’m not doing this lightly. I’ve thought a lot about this. But I don’t want you to think I’m just trying to trap you by getting pregnant. I guess I hadn’t thought about how you would think that until now.”
She pushes my chest until we’re both sitting on the bed facing each other. “No, you need to be really careful of that. I don’t know what I was thinking.” She looks at where our knees are touching, shaking her head.
“Fuck, Claire!” Her head jerks up to look at me at my outburst. I swear this woman’s mind never stops! “Is that really whit ye think I was thinking? I would be honored for ye tae have my baby, someday. Naw right now, but absolutely later, when life is a wee more settled. I trust ye. Of everyone I’ve ever known, ye are the last person who would entrap me. I just dinnae want ye tae regret this like ye did the library.”
I run my hands through my hair, tugging at it in frustration. Why is it so fucking hard for her to see how much I want to be with her?
“I don’t regret the library,” she whispers, looking up through her eyelashes at me. “It brought you to me.” Running the back of my fingers down her jaw, I gently push her back on the bed. Rocking back onto my knees, I work my way up her body, kissing, licking and nipping gentle bites across her skin.
“I’ve just never had sex without a condom before. I guess I wanted you to be my first.” Running my teeth gently up her jaw, I gently nip at her bottom lip before thrusting my tongue between her lips. I’m trying to be gentle this time as I grind against her. She needs to feel how much I want to be her first too.
“I plan tae be yer last too,” I whisper, kissing down her neck. Kneeling between her legs, I work my underwear off. Lowering back down, I can actually feel myself shaking slightly.
Gently pulling one of her nipples into my mouth, I work it until she starts bucking up at me. Holding my erection, I gently slide it between her folds until we are both about half mad with need. Pushing gently into her, I stop when I hear her gasp.
“Are ye okay?” I ask.
“Don’t stop,” she moans. I thrust harder into her, feeling every inch of her smooth heat. I don’t want to drive hard at her this time, I really want to take this slow until we can’t stand it anymore.
“Oh Alex.” Christ! I’m not sure how long I can hold out when she moans out my name like that. “Harder, Alex!” Shit, I guess slow is just not our style. Pulling out, I flip her over on her stomach.
“Get up on yer knees,” I pant, helping her get in position. I push her back gently until her head is back down on the bed. “Push against the headboard.” When I see her hand slide up, pressing her palm flat against the headboard, I slam back into her.
“Fuck, Claire,” I growl, holding on to her shoulder to give me more leverage. I can hear my balls slapping her with each thrust. Reaching around her hip, I slide a finger between her folds, circling her clit.
“Alex!” she screams out as her muscles grab me in a vise, pulling me into her. Never have I felt anything so mind-blowing.
With my next thrust, she shoves back against me, making me explode when I hit the back of her. I completely fill her as I climax. My hand becomes slick underneath her with us as I continue to work her clit, pulling all of her orgasm out of her.
When she collapses onto the bed, I go down with her, my hand trapped against her mound. I gently pull out, rolling onto my back, my hand still trapped when she grinds against it as aftershocks hit her.
