“I know. But not yet.” As much as I want to, it’s still too soon.
“It’s been weeks,” Ari complains, pouting at me. “My head feels fine. You’re not going to hurt me.”
“You’re still recovering from a concussion,” I remind her. “And you have a fractured cheekbone. I don’t want to do anything that might slow your recovery.”
Ari strokes me again, swirling her thumb over the head, moving her hand in the exact motion she knows I like best. She widens her eyes at me. “We can be careful.Please?”
She sees me wavering and gives me a pleading look. “Please, Cash? I needyou.”
Well,shit. How do I say no to her sad eyes and cute little wheedling voice and her wicked hand tempting me?
“Fine,” I grumble at her, couching it with a smile. “But you’re going to let me do everything. I don’t want you re-injuring anything.”
“Okay!” The puppy-dog eyes disappear instantly. Face lighting up, Ari grins at me. “You can dowhateveryou want.”
“Can I get that recorded?” I ask wryly.
“It only counts when we’re in bed,” Ari retorts, her lips twitching.
“That works for me.”
Now that I’ve given myself permission, I’m desperate to be inside her. It’s been torture for the last couple of weeks, wanting that connection between us, that last reassurance that Ari is safe and isn’t going anywhere.
I lay Ari on her back and peel the bits of red lace away, exposing pink-tipped breasts and pale skin flushed with excitement. From there, I kiss my way down her body, lingering at her breasts and her core. I use my tongue and my fingers to bring her right to the edge, my hand on her belly to keep her hips from moving.
She’s so close, muscles fluttering around my fingers and tongue. Ari moans, “Cash, I need to finish with you insideme.”
And that’s when I yank my shorts off and sink deep inside her. It’s the most unbelievable feeling, velvety soft heat squeezing and rippling around me. I hold still for a moment, appreciating this perfect completion—when I’m joined with the woman I love more than anything.
Then I bring her to the edge all over again. Sucking her nipples, flicking at her little bud, telling her over and over how much I love her. Slow thrusts, bottoming out each time, my thumb still rubbing at that sensitive spot—
With one more thrust, one more hard flick, a little tweak, I nip at Ari’s neck, growling, “I love you so much.” And she explodes, her inner walls tugging at me, urging me to come along with her.
As her muscles convulse around me, I hurtle over the edge, pulsing and throbbing inside her. Incredible pressure releasing, filling her with the heat of our perfect completion.
And it is perfect. All of it. The sparks of electricity zipping through my body, Ari’s soft skin against mine, her slight weight as I roll over, draping her across my chest, the warmth of her breath on my neck…
“I love you so much, too.” Ari cuddles into me as I wrap my arms carefully around her. “Merry Christmas, Cash.”
Oh. This feeling. “This is the best Christmas present I’ve ever gotten.”
MyfirstChristmasmorningwith Ari is off to a great start.
My gorgeous, sexy girlfriend waking me up in the best way possible?Great.
Having Christmas morning sex with my amazing girlfriend?Definitelygreat.
And I’m excited about what the rest of the day will bring.
Because thanks to Ari, we have a day filled with wonderful things. First, Christmas breakfast in front of the tree—fruit and pastries and this quiche she prepared yesterday with spinach and bacon and cheese. Then opening presents, which I think is going to take a while considering the giant pile of gifts under the tree.
I may have gone a little overboard shopping.
But it’s our first Christmas as a couple, and I just want to make Ari happy after she’s been through so much. And I kept seeing things I thought she’d like. Jewelry. Books. A new Kindle. A new laptop. A fuzzy sweater to replace the one that got ruined the day Brett took her…
No. I’m not letting thatintrude on our day.
So we’re going to open presents, and then we’ll watch a couple of Christmas movies while we relax and look at our gifts. No Hallmark movies this time—but we each picked one of our favorites.National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacationfor me, andHome Alonefor Ari.
