“Come with me,” I rasped against the shell of her ear, sweat dripping from my brow as I tasted the salt on her skin. “Show me what it feels like to love a woman like you. Open your eyes. I want to see myself in their reflection as you light up my fucking world.”
I held the nape of her neck in my hands, fingers interlacing behind her head for support as I guided her face with my thumbs to look up at me. I wanted to watch her break; I needed to see my future flash across her eyes once more, just as it had before.
When her lashes parted, the air vanished between us, and I could feel her body clamp down on me, refusing to let go. I couldn’t hold on any longer. I came, releasing everything I held into her as I pushed through and pulled her over the edge right along with me.
Tessa’s intoxicating cries filled the night sky, rattling the stars above us as she fell apart, and I lost myself all the way into her.
I was in love.
I was at her mercy.
I never wanted to let my girl go.
