I nodded and kept moving, taking my time. Each shift sent warmth curling through me, my breath uneven as I found a pace that felt right. He stayed relaxed beneath me, letting me lead without pushing me in any direction.
When I finally settled against him, my head dipped forward and a quiet sound slipped from my lips. “Gosh, you feel so good,” I whispered, my voice shaking just enough to give me away.
Caleb let out a strained breath and a smile. “You feel like heaven, baby. And you look so beautiful.”
I began to move slowly, learning the rhythm as I went. Everything about it felt intense, and it only made me want him more. His hands stayed at my hips, grounding me without steering me. When I shifted a certain way and a gasp slipped out, I did it again. My pace stayed slow and careful, but I grew more confident with each small roll of my hips, especially when he reacted as I moved. My palms slid across his chest, clinging to him as I found what felt good.
“Sunshine, I love seeing you like this.” His voice was a bit raspy. “Taking what you want.”
Heat moved through me as his words caused my body to react before I could even think about it. I rocked harder, deeper, my thighs trembling with the effort, but the pleasure pushed everything else aside.
Caleb lifted his hips in soft, controlled movements that met mine perfectly, each sound he made pulling another wave of desire through me. We moved together slowly, finding a rhythm that felt right between us. Warmth built inside me with every movement, my breath growing unsteady. Caleb let out a low groan, trying to hold himself back for me, but I knew he was close.
When it finally washed over me, it took my breath away. My whole body drew tight in a way that felt so overwhelming, a quiet cry slipping out as I fell apart with his name on my lips. That was all it took for him. His body tensed beneath my hands as he followed, a rough sound leaving him as he buried his face in my neck.
We stayed there, breathing against each other. Our racing hearts slowly settled. I melted against his chest, warm and weightless, and he pressed a gentle kiss to my temple, brushing my hair back with his fingers. We stayed tangled together, holding on to the quiet, letting the moment soften around us.
Caleb’s hand moved along my back, soft and unhurried. “You didn’t just take control tonight,” he whispered. “You owned it.”
I smiled against his skin. “Gosh, I liked that.”
He laughed softly, the sound low and warm. “So did I.”
Chapter 46
Rae
Agentle, satisfiedfeeling, like a fog, settled over my thoughts. It almost blurred the edges of the world, as I lay there with Caleb's arm wrapped around my waist. Neither of us moved from the bed after we finished. We just lay there, tangled in each other's arms. My back was pressed against Caleb's warm chest, and I knew I would never get tired of this feeling.
This is love. This is what it’s supposed to be like.
Despite Ethan harassing me, with Caleb, it seemed like all the extra chaos was drowned out when he was around. Caleb kissed the top of my head, and I leaned my head back into his neck in an attempt to get closer than I already was. One of his arms was under me, stretched out with my hand resting on his. His other arm was wrapped around my waist, his fingers moving in little circles around my ribs. I was sensitive about certain touches, but not this. Not with him. He paid attention, he learned me, and he never judged me for things I didn’t like.
“I could stay like this forever,” I whispered to him.
“Same here. But someone has to make food at some point.”
