Before I could answer, she’d taken me into her mouth, sucking so hard that my knees nearly buckled. Her talented tongue swirled around the crown, and her hand stayed wrapped around the base. Tasha bobbed lower, taking me deep, going down until I bumped into the back of her throat. I grasped her head, running my fingers over the soft curls, nearly losing my mind when she moaned, the vibration shooting to my very center.

“Tash—baby—you’re fucking incredible.” Against every instinct of my body, I cupped her face until she released my cock with a pop of her lips. “I want to keep fucking your mouth. But this time, I need to be inside you when I come. I want that. I want to be part of you.”

She smiled up at me, running her tongue over her glistening lips. “I won’t complain.” She reached for the buckle of her shoe, but I stayed her hand.

“No, keep them on. I want to feel those heels on my ass when I’m pounding into you.”

She raised her eyebrows but didn’t argue as she moved back to the center of the bed. “Again I say, no complaints here.”

Somehow, I managed to find my pants and fumble for one of the condoms I’d left there. Standing up, I rolled it over my cock, knowing she was watching me eagerly. The importance of what we were about to do hit me as I lay down next to her, stretching my body alongside hers.

“Tasha, remember. If you’re uncomfortable or need me to slow down, tell me.” I trailed my fingers between her breasts. “I want this to be so fucking good for you.”

“Then don’t treat me like I might break.” She reached between us to grasp my dick again. “Just ... make me feel good. Make us both feel good.”

My way of answering was to lean up and capture one of her alluring nipples between my lips. I sucked hard, pressing it with my tongue against the roof of my mouth. My fingers teased the other side, circling, pinching and twisting. Tasha gripped the back of my neck and held me there, making small noises that drove me closer to complete insanity.

“So good. God, your mouth on me ...”

“Your tits are perfect, babe. I just want to keep my mouth on them all the time. I want to suck on you until you scream.”

She gasped, and suddenly, I knew I had to taste her now. My cock rebelled; it wanted to be inside her already, fucking her hard, but I pushed down that rising urge and kissed down her stomach, pushing her legs apart and running my fingers over the fine red curls that surrounded her pussy.

“Derek—you don’t have to—” She was writhing already. “I mean, you can, but—”

Her next words were lost as I licked her seam, pressing my tongue flat and hard against her wet sex. She canted her hips up to meet my mouth, panting, before she grasped my head again, this time keeping it in place between her legs, as if I were planning to move away any time soon.

I licked at the nub of her clit, and then used my tongue to tease her opening. I wanted her to come like this, wanted to feel her go to pieces against my mouth, but I was afraid if I did, I’d end up spewing, too. I got her to the edge, where the noises she was making told me that she was about to topple over into oblivion, and then I crawled back up her body and positioned my cock between her legs.

“Oh, God, Derek. I want you inside me. Please, please, please ...” She was chanting, wild, out of her mind, and I was right there with her. Without waiting any longer, I thrust into her, burying myself deep in the tight heat that enveloped me into ecstasy.

I wanted to take my time. I wanted to ease her back up into pleasure so that she’d come again, to have enough control to hold off until she was on the verge of her own orgasm. I stroked slowly, hitting her deep, willing myself to wait, wait, wait—

And then Tasha arched her hips up to meet me, wrapping her legs around so that her heels dug into my ass. Her fingers gripped my shoulders, and she ground out my name.

“Derek—God, now. Harder, right now.”

That was it. My vision blurred, my hearing tunneled, and nothing else in the world existed beyond my cock stroking into her harder, faster ... until she moaned out my name and went still. Her pussy clenched around me, and I could no more have stopped from coming than I could’ve stopped the earth from spinning.

Everything I’d wanted, everything I’d feared ... it all centered here, with me buried inside a woman I never wanted to leave. I wanted to be inside her for the rest of my life. I wanted to hear her strained voice crying out my name every day, until that was the only word I could comprehend.

We came down slowly, both of us. I couldn’t stop touching her, stroking my hand down her sides, dropping kisses along her neck and breathing in her enticing scent.

“My God, Derek.” Tasha sighed. “I thought I had a good imagination. But I never dreamed it could be like this.”

“I know.” I withdrew from her, lying down next to her and pulling her closer to my side. “I didn’t either. I ...” I swallowed hard. “There’s probably a better time or place to say this, but I’m just a big stupid man, and I can’t help myself. This was amazing, Tasha, because it was you. It was us. I’ve never been with a woman I cared about the way I feel about you.” I wound one of her short curls around my finger. “I’ve never felt this way about anyone. It’s not just the desire, the physical part, though God knows, that’s there in spades. I love to talk to you. I love to hear you laugh. I love when you’re thinking about work and how you care about what you do. I even love when you give me the take-no-shit look, when you’re telling me what to do and what’ll happen if I don’t.” I paused, took a deep breath, and I went for broke.

“I loveyou, Tasha. I’ve been falling in love with you for months.” A smile quirked up my lips. “I think I started to fall in love with you that day in the waiting room, when you told me to march my sorry ass back to your office.”

Tasha buried her face in the crook of my shoulder. “Derek.” She sniffled, and I realized she was crying.

“Babe. Hey.” I tilted her chin up so that I could see her eyes. “Don’t cry. Please don’t. I didn’t want to pressure you. I just ... I wanted you to know how I feel. Maybe I should’ve waited. But I’ve never been a guy who believes in waiting. I feel like if I know something, if I’m sure of it, why shouldn’t I say it?” I kissed her forehead. “I never want you to doubt how I feel. This doesn’t mean you have to say anything back to me, but I want you to be sure of me. Be sure of my love for you.”

“Derek.” She laid her hand on my cheek. “Every part of me wants to tell you that I love you, too. These ...” She pointed at her eyes. “These are happy tears. I want to say I’m in love, too. But I jumped too fast before, and I have to be a little careful. I need to think about everything before I leap. I’m sorry that I have to do that. I wish I didn’t. But I lost myself before, and I can’t do it again.”

“Tasha, I don’t want you to lose yourself. If I thought I wasn’t good for you, I’d be the first to keep the hell away from your life. I’d leave you alone. But there’s no doubt in my mind that we were made for each other, and babe, I’m going to be so damn good for you. I’ll never let you lose who you are. I want to help you grow and thrive. Take all the time you need, Tasha. I’m a patient man.”

She studied me, her liquid eyes searching mine. “Thank you. Thank you for understanding.” She ran one finger down my chest. “But while I’m taking time, I hope you won’t go anywhere. Because you know, Derek, I’m excellent at multi-tasking.”

I touched her nose. “Oh, are you?”

A slow and sultry smile spread over her lips. “I am. I can mull things over at the same time that I’m giving you a blow job that will rock your world.”

My mouth went totally dry. “Don’t let me stop you from doing exactly that. I’m a giver, babe. And if having my dick in your mouth helps you think, I’m willing to sacrifice for the cause.”
