We collapse into each other’s arms, gasping for air, and I lean in to kiss her neck affectionately, then her lips. For the longest time, I lie there with my head on her chest, listening to her heart beat its vibrant song as she plays with my hair. Sydney’s movements get sluggish and her breathing deepens as she falls asleep. I smirk against her breast. Slowly pulling myself up onto an elbow, I watch her sleep, taking in every soft detail. This woman means so much to me. My heart aches with joy for having found her, and the fear of losing her scares me more than I expected. I decide not to think about it. I have to live in the now. After rolling away gently without waking her, I clean up and crawl back into bed to pull her into my arms for the best night of sleep I’ve had in five years.
Chapter 11
Sydney
Iwake in the middle of the night to find myself lying next to a gorgeous man. Colin. I smile contentedly. I never expected that our first time would be so amazing. Not that I hadn’t expected it to be great, but it had exceeded my expectations and then some. In all honesty, I kind of expected it to be…quick. I look over again to take in Colin lying on his back with one arm resting lightly behind his head and the other resting beneath mine. He’s beautiful. Perfection. There is no doubt in my mind that I have fallen for him. He looks so peaceful with his lips slightly parted and his dark lashes brushing the tops of his cheeks. Seriously, how is it that men get blessed with such pretty long lashes? It takes all I have not to brush back the strands of dark hair above his eyes for fear of waking him. Then again, the urge to have him again is beckoning deep within me.
As if sensing that I’m watching him, Colin stretches slightly, taking in a deep breath, his chest and abs movingdeliciously, and peeks through his lashes to see if I’m awake. He smiles sleepily and rolls onto his side to face me while tracing his fingers down my spine. The need for me echoes in his eyes, and without a word, his lips seek mine. Colin makes love to me a second time that night, slower than the first time. We take our time exploring, trying to memorize every inch, curve, and sound. We get lost in the pleasure. Lost in each other.

The next morning, Colin brings a bowl of grapes, cantaloupe, and honeydew melon to bed along with a big slice of the jello cake we hadn’t eaten last night for breakfast. We feed each other pieces of the fruit, giggling when Colin decides to squeeze the juice down my chest and lick it off with his tongue.
“So, I’ve been thinking,” I mumble between bites of cantaloupe. Colin looks up at me expectantly from where his head is resting contentedly on my belly. “We need to find Ava a man.”
“We do?” Colin quirks his eyebrows at me before stuffing a forkful of jello cake into his mouth. He’s cute in the mornings with this whole tousled, thoroughly fucked hair look. I’m digging the stubble. He sits up, more focused on the jello cake now. It must be good.
“What do you think about Mark? Would he be good for her? Or maybe Trystan? Are either of them even looking to date right now?”
“Hmmm,” Colin hums, swallowing his bite then grinning devilishly. “They're always looking." I snicker at his remark andthe whipped topping stuck on the tip of his nose. "Mark could use someone to keep him in line and balance him out. I know they’ve only met a couple of times, but I’ve never seen them actually talking. Ava seems kind of shy.”
“Well, that is because Ava said she wouldn’t be able to spit anything out except nonsense babble because she thinks he’s totally gorgeous. Otherwise, from what I’ve seen, she’s the furthest thing from shy. More reserved than Jane? Yes. Shy? Nope." I pop the p and lean forward to swipe the creamy white goodness from his nose and lick it off my finger. Colin blushes while his eyes follow my tongue’s movements, realizing how silly he must have looked, and I grin at the cuteness before adding, "She’s never met Trystan.”
“Sounds like a bar night is in order for a casual meet. Maybe then we’ll be able to see who might be a better fit. Do you enjoy matchmaking?” Colin forks another bite, this time feeding it to me and dropping some.
“I don’t know. Maybe… Yes.” I smile, grabbing the giant chunk of fallen cake before Colin can. He chuckles at the sight of me shoving it in my mouth. “I introduced my best friend back home, Holly, to her now boyfriend of several years, so I guess I got a bit of a matchmaking bone in me.”
“I guess you do.” Colin grins wide, enjoying this mischievous side of me and probably thinking of another bone he’d like to have in me.
He swipes his finger across the top of the jello cake, continuing to smile at me as he tugs down the sheet covering my breasts.
“What are you doing?
“Oh, enjoying my dessert,” Colin answers as if he didn’t just draw something between my breasts.
“There’s plates and forks for that, you know,” I chastise him playfully.
“This is more fun.” He continues drawing on my body in a straight line. I try to look down to see what he’s making. He tsks me. “Not done yet, no looking.”
I sigh and close my eyes with a smile on my lips as he does his thing. It tickles.
“We’re going to need a shower,” I murmur, giggling and trying to guess what he’s drawing in my mind.
“Mmmm, yes. Yes we will. You can open your eyes now.”
I look down and see that he’s not drawn on me, but instead he’s written the wordMINEvertically with a big arrow pointing toward my lady bits in cool whip topping. I look up at him, and we both burst into laughter. It’s quickly replaced with a happy sigh as he begins to trace and clean up the letters one by one with his tongue, making his way down my body.
“Best dessert ever,” Colin murmurs against my lower belly before smirking up at me and pulling the covers over his head.

Colin
I so enjoyed dirtying Sydney all up just so I could drag her into a hot shower. I was dying to see her skin all flushed and sudsed up just for me to rinse it all clean. We kiss languidly under the hot spray, enjoying the feel of it on our happily used muscles.Very happily used. Before I can entice her with my dick once more,she pulls back under the spray and her eyes go wide like she just remembered something, blinking rapidly when the water runs down her face, which she haphazardly wipes off with her hands.
“Bitsy! Crap, Colin, I have to run and feed her. I completely forgot. She’s gonna be pissy.”
I chuckle and reach around her to turn off the water. Reaching above her, I grab the two towels I draped over the rod, handing one to her before drying off my face. She sighs into the towel, reveling in its softness before starting to dry off quickly. The movements cause her girls to bounce in the best of ways. I clear my throat and inwardly tell my dick to chill the fuck out. Amy needs to run a bit anyway too. Sydney steps out of the tub first, bending to wrap her hair up in her towel before striding out into my room buck ass naked to find her clothes.Not helping.I just grab my toothbrush and lean in the doorway to watch my confident girl pull her dress over her head, sad when it covers up all that delicious skin. She snags up her bra and panties before tip-toeing back to me for a quick kiss on the cheek. I don’t want her to go.
