“Promise?”
“I promise,” I whisper, leaning down and kissing just below her ear.
“Bash. I need you,” she pants, her fingers digging into my shoulders and arms. “Please.”
“I’ve got you, baby.”Always.
She whines when I push away from her to grab a condom, then one of her hands wraps around my wrist. “Wait.”
“I’m not going anywhere. Just grabbing a condom.”
Indie sucks her bottom lip between her teeth and blinks up at me, her eyes bouncing across my face. “Or you couldnot.”
My blood roars as I go completely still. “No?”
“I’ve never…” She blows out a breath, making her hair flutter. “I’ve never gone without. Never wanted to before you… I have an IUD, and my last rounds of tests were clear. We don’t have to use a condom if you don’t want to.”
Fuck. Me.
“Are you sure, baby?” I search her eyes for any hint of hesitation but don’t find any.
“Very.”
That’s all I need. Unleashed, I hook one of her knees over my arm and line myself up, wasting no time before pushing into her. It takes every ounce of my restraint to go slowly. She’s so hot, sowet, so soft. I want to push myself deep inside of her and make my home there. I want to fuck her, claim her, make her mine.
But Indie deserves softness. After everything tonight, after telling me she loves me, she deserves more than a wild fucking.
“Oh,” she moans, her eyelashes fluttering as she tilts her head back, exposing her neck. “Oh my god.”
“I love you,” I murmur, stilling when I’m fully seated inside of her. Her pussy flutters around me, and I groan. “My perfect, perfect girl.”
“I love you too.” Her eyes are glassy when they open and fix on me. When she brushes her fingers across my cheekbone, I admire the line work of her floral tattoos, the freckles across her nose and the clusters of them on her chest. There has never been a more beautiful sight, and I commit it to memory.
“Thanks for being there tonight, baby.” Seeing Indie in the seats… It was everything. Any time I dreamed about winning the Cup, she was there. After all these years, I thought it was just that. A dream. But she made it a reality, and it was better than anything I could have hoped for.
“I wouldn’t have missed it,” she whispers, wiggling beneath me, silently asking me to move.
So I do.
“When we were teenagers, I imagined this. Being with you and cheering you on as you won the Cup. I imagined being there for all of your games.” Her voice catches, and a tear gathers in her eye. “Then I thought you chose someone else, and I tried to forget about those dreams. Tried to forget you…” The tear spills over and slips down her face.
“I know, baby,” I soothe, undulating my hips and dragging my pelvis over hers to take her mind off painful things and replace it with pleasure. “I could never forget you, either. It wouldn’t be possible.”
“I just can’t believe I’m here.”
“It feels like a dream,” I agree, wiping the tear away. Pleasure tightens the muscles in my lower back as I withdraw from her before slowly pushing back in. “You feel like a dream.”
“I’ll never walk away from you again,” Indie promises with a hitch in her breath. “I promise.”
A different kind of pleasure fills me with her promise. It’s the kind of pleasure the earth experiences when dry, cracked soil finally feels the kiss of warm rain. It seeps through my body and settles into my soul. Invigorated, I grip Indie’s hips and flip us. She lets out a littlesqueakas I settle her on top of me, guiding her to sink down onto me.
“Damn right, you’ll never walk away from me again,” I tell her as my fingers dig into her hips and urge her to ride me. There’s a momentary flash of insecurity that darkens Indie’s expression, but it’s gone just as quickly. “I won’t let you. Now ride me, baby. I want you coming on my cock as I fill you with my cum.”
“Oh, god,” she moans as she lifts up before dropping back down, grinding her clit against me with a swirl of her hips. “Why is that so hot?”
“Because you like the idea of me claiming you, don’t you, Rosebud? You want me to fill you with my cum and mark you as mine.” Pressure builds low in my back and stomach.
“Yes,” she gasps. “I want that.”
