“You’re beautiful.” It’s an understatement but those two words are a struggle to force out of my mouth as it is. Breathing alone is difficult, let alone having the ability to form coherent words.

“So are you,” she tells me, her hand on my face.

“Hardly.”

“You’re inside me and just gave me three orgasms after you told me you’re in love with me. All this for the first time. If I tell you that you’re beautiful, trust me that I’m speaking the truth.”

I grin.

“I didn’t use a condom or even ask if that was something we needed to worry about.”

“I’m healthy.”

“Me, too. And honestly, if you’re not on birth control, I’m okay with that.” Her eyes widen at my admission and I kiss her. “The thought of planting my baby in your stomach has me ready to fuck you again.”

“We should probably slow down a little bit.”

“I’d say knowing each other for twenty-five years means we can speed through a couple of the steps. But if you feel like I’m rushing you, I’ll take a few steps back.”

“I’m not on birth control but I know my body and we’re at a time that’s safe that I won’t get pregnant.”

“Damn.”

She grins. “I thought you said you’d take a few steps back?”

I grin back. “I lied. Well, not really. I’ll go at your pace but just know that my pace is probably a lot faster than yours.”

“Oh, yeah?”

“I finally have you, Addy. I’ve wanted this a long time and my patience is seriously at risk.” Another kiss and I begin to slip out of her. “I promise you I will never pressure you to go anywhere you aren’t ready to go with me. Just know I’m here. I love you. I’m not going anywhere.” Her eyes grow wet and I’m not about to have her crying any sort of tears while she and I are in bed together so I change the subject. “We need to clean up. Eat something. And then I have plans for more of this for the rest of the night.”
