There was no questioning or hesitation in her quick switch in position. My girl fell into her own rhythm almost instantaneously, grinding on my cock and shifting her hips for friction.

Reaching up, I massaged her clit with my thumb, and she shuddered, her moans growing louder as she found precisely what she needed to send herself over the edge. As her body tensed, nearing its peak, Tessa dropped forward and gripped onto the sheets beside my head. With strained breaths, her pace slowed like she was riding a gentle wave.

“It’s okay, babygirl…” I breathed through a thick swallow as I realized why she had slowed—why she was now staring down at me as if she was stuck in a euphoric dream. Tessa’s eyes said everything she was thinking, and I could read her almost as well as my brother.

“Is it? Is it really?” Her hands tightened into fists as she continued to fight with herself. Letting someone in was one thing, but I understood what she was struggling to accept.

“Tell me this doesn’t feel right,” I groaned, rolling my hips in time with hers, before wrapping my hand around the back of her neck and pulling her face down, our breaths mingling, and she stopped moving entirely. “Look me in the eyes and tell me thatthisisn’t what you’ve been searching for, babygirl. Because I feel like I’ve waited my entire life for you.” Whether she wanted to admit it to herself or not, I was all in now. “You make it hard to breathe the second you enter a room. Your intoxicating smell drives me wild like a pheromone, and your touch… your touch is a comfort I’ve craved for so fucking long.”

I’ve never fallen in love with a woman like this—at maximum velocity; so hard and so fucking fast.

“You two…” Tessa shook her head, laughing lightly, then blew out a breath as she bit her lip, and a smile tugged at her lush lips. “You’re something else, you know that? So unexpected. So raw. I don’t think I’ll ever understand how two incredible catches remained single this long…”

“I could say the same for you,” I murmured, giving her whatever time she needed to process through her emotions.

“I got hurt, and then I became picky…” She forced out a breath, her body relaxing over me as her eyes drifted away, and she fell into her mind while chewing on the inside of her lip.

“So did we, and look where that landed us.” I placed my knuckle under her chin, bringing it back to face me. “With you… We’re perfect for each other, babygirl.” Dragging my thumb across her lower lip, I melted into her deep-sea gaze, feeling my heart beat against my chest and a rush of warmth consume my entire body. “And I’ll show you every ounce of truth behind that sentiment.”I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it a million more times over the course of our lifetime together. Tessa is the one, now and forever.“And if that’s enough to put my feelings for you into perspective, how about you finish coming on my cock like a good girl so I can make love to you for the rest of the night.” I rocked my hips, reminding her that I was still seated deep between her thighs. “Fill you with more than just words of fierce devotion and commitment.”

“The fact that you can flip a heartfelt moment right back to fucking is a talent, do you know that? You’d make a fine actor.”

“I don’t need to act around you.” Switching our positions, I rolled us to pin Tessa on the bed, taking her hands in mine as I interlaced our fingers and slid them along the sheets until they were resting above her head. “Not when you make my life feel more likea dream.” I nuzzled my way into the side of her neck, curling my hips as I tightened my grip on her hands. “Just don’t ever wake me.”

Tessa moaned softly against my ear as I changed my mind and dismantled my boundaries, allowing myself to give her everything I had held back. Feeding her the intimacy I had protected and reserved in an effort to save myself from inevitable heartbreak.

“Levi… Don’t ever leave me…” Her breathy moan sent a shiver down my spine as I felt the weight of her words interlock our souls. I could never leave her; she was my life raft after a devastating shipwreck.

“I wouldn’t dare. You’ve done something unfathomable to me, and I’d be nothing more than lost at sea without you.” The lighthouse that guided me back.

When she came, it wasn’t violent or earth-shattering. The experience of feeling a woman surrendering all of herself to you was indescribable. It was like feeling fireworks without the danger. Consuming Pop Rocks but feeling the sensation across your entire body instead of just in your mouth.

Following my babygirl with a release of my own, I saw so much more than stars dancing across my vision. I saw a radiance and glow that could only belong to her.

She was heaven and hell all rolled into one—both damning and a savior for my darkened soul that has been trapped in limbo until now.

Tessa was my fucking home.
