“You’re so fucking perfect,” he said, and I felt his composure returning. We were going to make it through this, and we were going to be okay. “I want you, Ava. I’ve wanted you since I first saw you at the inn. You were glowing then, like the little ball of sunlight that you are, and those beams drew me in even though I didn’t know a thing about you. I always knew though that I’d eventually run to you instead of run from you.”
“I’m glad one of us knew because I sure didn’t.”
Tony reached for my hand and interlaced our fingers before asking me where my bedroom was. When Barley whined and started to follow us, Tony told him to stay put, and he listened. In order to keep Snickers out, I closed the door behind us. There was no telling what that cat might do.
“It’s been a long time.” He said the words like it was something to be ashamed of when it was the exact opposite.
Knowing that Tony could go without sex was kind of a turn-on. Too many men ran through women they didn’t care about without even giving it a second thought, claiming they hadneeds.
“For me too,” I said unabashedly.
I wasn’t the kind of woman who slept around—not that there was anything wrong with that. My feelings wouldn’t allow it; I got emotionally attached.
I opened up the drawer of my nightstand and pulled out a box of matches. Striking one, I lit the candle sitting on top and raced to the one waiting on the other side before the match went out. Lighting the other candle, I felt satisfied with the romantic glow they provided as I flipped off the light switch in my room and stood there, staring at Tony.
He moved toward my body slowly and with purpose. I had the feeling that everything we’d do would be that way. Tonight would be about him, and I willingly let him take the lead. He was the one crossing emotional lines that couldn’t be seen, only felt. The anxiety built up inside of me until I felt like I might burst apart.
“I’m on the pill, by the way,” I blurted out, so he knew that we were protected. I was pretty certain he hadn’t come over tonight with a pocket full of condoms.
“That’s nice,” he said, his voice gravelly and raw.
Tony reached for my clothes and started peeling them away one item at a time. My top fell to the floor, followed by my bra. When he tugged my pants down to my feet, I stepped out of them before he stopped and stared at my almost-naked frame. His breath hissed as he reached for my panties and pulled them down as well.
I stared at the bulge behind his jeans and watched as he pulled his sweatshirt off and added it to the pile of discarded garments. His shoulders and arms were chiseled from working on the water, his skin so tan that I wanted to run my fingers down every inch of it. He popped the button of his jeans and pulled the zipper down. My eyes almost bugged out of my head at his hardness there, just waiting to get out.
“Eyes are up here, sunshine,” he joked, lifting my chin until we were face-to-face.
I held eye contact while he removed his briefs, not even daring to glance down. He closed the gap completely, his lips on mine, his tongue in my mouth.
I felt his hardness tap me on the thigh, and it took everything in me not to grab it and lead it in the proper direction. Tony lifted me up and moved me on top of the bed, gently placing me down like it took little effort. He followed right behind, straddling my body as our eyes held fast. Emotion filled the space between us, overflowing into the room. Our connection was intense. Palpable. And I felt it with every fiber of my being.
“I’m probably not going to last very long,” he warned.
I gave him a soft kiss. “It doesn’t matter.”
Once he moved inside of me, there would be no going back.
I felt the tip of him at my entrance, and I spread my legs a little wider in response. Since it had been so long, I knew this was probably going to hurt a little. I held my breath as I waited for him to push in, but Tony moved excruciatingly slow.
My eyes met his as he leaned down.
“Kiss me,” he demanded as he moved in and out of me, a little at a time, before finally going all the way in with one hard thrust.
“Ahhh,” I breathed into his mouth as pleasure and pain rocked through my core.
He bit my bottom lip before running his tongue across it. Our tongues danced like they couldn’t get enough. And his hands refused to stay still. One second, they were in my hair, and the next, they were running down the curves of my hips, fingertips splayed on my skin.
There would be no taking this back.
No more denying our connection or mutual desire.
This moment sealed the deal once and for all.
Tony never stopped kissing me. Not even after I came and tried to pull away to catch my breath. He didn’t stop as he came inside of me either. Only once he finally rolled to the side did he break the connection of our fused mouths, his hand still on my cheek, like he was afraid to let go of me completely.
I was fully satisfied in every way. Physically connecting with him had been unlike anything I’d ever experienced before. The air still felt charged with it.
“Do you feel that?” I wondered out loud before I could stop myself from saying it, and he smiled.
