What a sight.
That’s all I need to follow her.
I drive inside her one last time.
“Goddammit.” My movements are more urgent. Violent, even. My grip on her hips is bruising and demanding.
My girl presses back against me and clenches so hard, it takes my breath away.
“Carina—” Every muscle in my body contracts as the first jolt of my climax shakes me to thevery core.
My strangled cry fades as I pour my warm cum inside her. I come so hard, I swear I’d fall down to my knees if I weren’t holding onto her.
“God… Rhett.”
“Your pussy… the plan was for me to corrupt you, but I think it’s the other way around,” I say between ragged breaths.
“The student trumps the master.” She lets out a small laugh.
I open my mouth to respond with a sly comment, but decide against it.
There’s only one thing I want to say to her.
“I love you, Carina.”
I never imagined I’d be making this kind of confession while I’m still inside her, but I can’t hold it in any longer. She needs to know.
“Oh, God.”
I expect her to say more than that, but she shakes her head.
Shit.
Things have been amazing between us, but I’ve never articulated how my feelings for her have changed. Maybe this is one-sided and she doesn’t feel the same way.
“It’s okay if––”
“Do you really mean it?”
“Of course. Why would I be flippant about something that important?”
“You love me?” Her voice is filled with emotion.
I pull out of her and lower her dress. I give her body a thorough scan to make sure she’s decent.
With quick hands, I zip up my jeans.
I place my hands on her shoulders, forcing her to turn around to face me.
“Okay, saying I love you at the end of sex ruins it a bit. I agree my timing is lousy, but I’m not just saying it in the heat of passion. My feelings for you are real. I love you, Carina, with all my heart.”
“I love you too, Rhett.”
“You do?”
“I knew I loved you the moment I was unwilling to let my parents’ opinion matter. Maybe even longer. I’ve been falling in love with you since the day you took me out to sleep under the stars. It was so romantic. After that, I fell deeper and deeper with every smile, caress, and kiss. I guess I was too shy to admit it. And I didn’t know how you felt about me.”
“I feel the same way, but I knew with certainty I loved you the moment you insisted you’d take my side over your family’s. I knew I’d find a way to turn things around so they could get to know me better, but the fact you stood up for me… stood by me… there are no words. I don’t know why it took me so long to say it, but I love you, darlin’. I love you so much.”
