Lilly is the first thing I think of when I wake up in the morning, the last thing before I go to sleep and a million other times in between.
She’s the one for me, for as long as she’ll have me, and that I know with absolute certainty. If we have sex tonight, it will be better than anything I’ve ever had because we’ve developed our relationship on a deeper level that has nothing to do with attraction or desire. So often in the dating game, the players are sidetracked by lust, blind to so many things along the way. When Lilly let me be an integral part of her life—including helping with the care of her father and brother—it solidified a connection that some people might not reach for years.
Maybe never.
“Penny for your thoughts,” Lilly says, and I realize I’ve walked into the kitchen and I’m staring at the fridge. I glance over my shoulder to find her staring at me expectantly. Her purse is on the small island, her sweater draped over the back of a stool.
I could lie and say I was thinking about opening a bottle of wine for us to relax with or that I was reminiscing about Aiden’s birthday party…
Instead, I turn and move toward her. Hands to her hips, I pull her close and stare down at her. Our eyes lock and she looks at me with such naked emotion that my heart feels like it’s going to leap out of my chest to join with hers. I have to blink or I’ll get lost.
My words will get lost and I need them now.
“I don’t have any expectations of what will happen tonight,” I begin. Her expression doesn’t change, which tells me she trusts that no matter what, she’s safe with me. “I had this grand, glorious plan to dole out a little more pleasure to you and that we’d continue to take baby steps. But I’m not sure I want to wait. And I’m sorry if that sounds crass, being so forward with what I want, but I want to make love to you tonight.”
A soft breath stutters from Lilly’s mouth, blowing across my throat. Her gaze is forthright, her tone sure. “It’s what I want too. I don’t need the baby steps. I’ve already given more of myself to you than anyone, and I’m ready to give you that last piece.”
Those words are such a turn-on, they make me want to drag her to the floor and fill her up. Instead, I show a measure of restraint and pull her into me for a sexy, tongue-filled kiss that leaves both of us groaning. I turn, press her into the counter and kiss her so thoroughly, her fingernails dig into my arms. That only serves to fuel my lust. Upon the realization that Lilly is mine tonight, I’m fighting for control.
Reluctantly, I pull away. “Would you like some wine? Or something else to drink?”
Her face is flushed, eyes hazy. She shakes her head. “Let’s go to bed, okay?”
Fuck yes. Right now. Run, run, run.
Instead, I take her hand and kiss her knuckles before leading her through the apartment. My nerves jangle again and my blood is racing, but once I’m in my bedroom and she’s back in my arms with my mouth on hers, everything is just as it should be.
It takes no time at all for our kisses to turn hungrier and our hands to start roaming. Of course, I’ve touched Lilly already in her most secret place, but I haven’t let her touch me.
She’s not shy at all. Her hands snake under my shirt and glide up my chest, and I back her into the bed. Her knees catch and we both go down onto the mattress. I use my superior strength and haul us up higher.
Lilly laughs in delight at the sudden move and I grin back at her before whipping my shirt over my head and tossing it away. Her eyes round as she takes in my naked chest.
“Wow,” she murmurs. “You’re beautiful.”
“I’m manly and rugged,” I retort.
Her response is to work at my belt, and knowing her intent and seeing the determination on her face hardens my dick. I lean forward and try to kiss her, but she pushes me back with a little snarl. “Just let me touch you, okay?”
I’ll fucking die if she touches me.
I’ll die if she doesn’t.
I swallow hard and tighten my hands into fists as Lilly fumbles with my belt but manages to pop the button on the first try. That first glide of my zipper has her brushing the length of my erection through the denim and it’s a struggle not to lose my shit from just that tiny touch.
And then I’m free, in her hand and she’s stroking me.
“Fuck,” I groan in a garbled rumble, my hips involuntarily thrusting forward.
Lilly starts to lean as if she’s going to put her mouth on me and I know I won’t survive that. At least not right now.
My hands go to her face and I kiss her again. Rolling her to her back, I pin her under me and let my hands move over her body. Not just to touch but to remove clothing. In between breathy moans and stolen caresses, I manage to get us both naked and it’s then that I let myself take all of Lilly in.
I expect her to be shy in front of me but instead, she stares at me boldly as she’s splayed out naked. Lilly has curves in all the right places and I can’t wait to touch every inch of her.
Lilly goes to her elbows, thrusting out her perfect tits, and I swear my mouth fucking waters. “Is everything okay?”
“Everything’s perfect,” I assure her as I let my eyes roam. When I lock onto her face, I say, “You’re perfect.”
