And they'll have plenty to say about us.

"How do you feel?" she whispers, her voice trembling like she's either desperate to know or terrified of the answer.

"I feel like I want to stay in this moment with you. I don't want to think past what we have right now." My throat tightens as I force the words out."Because the idea of this ending? It fucks me up, baby." My fingers trace the curve of her jaw, grounding me as I continue. "There's no going back for me. I've gone from wanting you to needing you so much that I don't think about anything but you."

My lips find her throat, tasting her pulse point, and when she trembles beneath me, I'm lost in everything she is.

"But you need to know," I breathe against her skin, "that whatever comes next, I'm yours.Howeveryou want me, whenever you need me."

I brace myself on one arm beside her face, the other moving to cup her breast, my thumb grazing over her nipple until it peaks beneath my touch. Her body responds instantly, and the quiet gasp that escapes her lips fuels the hunger building in my chest. Leaning in, I capture her mouth in a quick, claiming kiss before trailing my lips down the curve of her throat, over her collarbone, and lower still.

I reach the top of her panties and press a lingering kiss there, letting my breath fan over the damp fabric.

"You should know, Firefly, the only reason I wanted to change your sheets earlier is because you came all over them thismorning, and I wanted to drown in the scent of us and every filthy, perfect thing we do to each other."

"Oh my god, Tobias." She quietly moans, her back arching as I seal my mouth over her pussy through the lace, allowing her wetness to soak through to my lips.

Hooking my fingers into the sides of her underwear, I pull them down slowly, drinking in every inch of her exposed skin. They hit the floor, and I settle between her thighs,holding her lust-drunk gazeas I drag my tongue over her before sucking her clit into my mouth.

"Every time you come with my name in your mouth, you're claiming it. You're telling the whole universe we belong together."

Her hand fists in my hair, gripping tight, while her other hand frees her breast from her bra. She works her nipple between her fingers, and her body writhes beneath my tongue.

"I love the way you eat my pussy,"she whimpers.

The sound of her pleasure, that broken little moan she releases, shoots straight to my cock, making it throb painfully against my underwear. I push my tongue deeper, desperate to taste more of her, to have her arousal coating my lips.

Her fingers twist in the sheets, and those breathy, desperate sounds she's making have my dick ready to punch through the fucking mattress.

"Shh, baby, you gotta keep it down," I whisper against her, smiling even as I refuse to stop.

Her legs tremble on either side of my head. "Tobias," she moans out, her voice breaking, and I know she's right there, ready to shatter for me. And fuck, the way she says my name has those three little words burning low in my gut.

I thrust two fingers inside her, curling them exactly where I know will make her lose her mind, while my tongue flicks against her swollen clit.When her moans get desperate and sheloses control, I reach up with my free hand, pressing it over her mouth.

"That's it, baby, let go for me."

She grabs my wrist, holding my hand tighter against her mouth, her muffled cries vibrating through my palm as her eyes squeeze shut and her entire body convulses. Her orgasm crashes over her, and she falls apart in the most breathtaking way, her thighs quaking, her nails digging into my skin, and her pussy soaking my hand and the sheets beneath us.

"Jesus fuck, Mills," I whisper, withdrawing my fingers and bringing them to my mouth. I lick them clean, savoring her taste while I watch as she tries to remember how to breathe.

She climbs my body, her thighs settling around me as her mouth slams against mine, her tongue sweeping past my lips. Her hips roll against my cock, her body begging for more without needing to say a word.

Sitting back, I free myself, my cock hard and aching as I drag it against her slick entrance, coating myself in her wetness. And then, with one deep thrust, I'm inside her.

"Open those pretty eyes and look at me," I groan, my grip tightening on the soft curve of her ass as I guide her hips, helping her take me deeper. "I never want to stop. I never want you to stop."

But then she does. She stills completely, her lips parting as her eyes hold mine. And in that moment, something raw and honest passes between us, something deeper than lust, and it hits me like a fist to the chest.

I'm in love with her.

I've always known she meant everything to me, but this is different. This is undeniable.

"You're perfect, Mills," I murmur, dragging my nose against hers before pressing the softest kiss to her lips.

My hands slide up her back, holding her as if she might slip away, before I pin her to the bed beneath me.Arms locked under her body,Igripher shoulders as I start to move again, my cock driving deep, claiming every inch of her.

Her hands bury themselves in my hair, her forehead pressing to mine as my thrusts quicken. I keep her pinned, our bodies fused like we're trying to crawl inside each other's skin. When she begins to tremble,shetightensaround me,andI press my lips to hers, capturing the moans spilling from her mouth.
