“Are you sure?”

“Bastian!” I roared. I gasped to tell him to forget the condom when I heard the heavenly crinkle of the wrapper. My entire body trembled as I danced on the edge of coming. I don’t know how long it took him—somewhere between a second and eternity—but he was pulling me back at last. His fingers had left me and that thick head was now nudging my entrance, stretching resistant muscles.

The moment he was inside of me, I gave in to temptation and sat down, taking all of him in one fast, hard thrust that sent a rush of air out of both our lungs.Oh fuck, so full.I was finally so full that I couldn’t breathe.

“Little devil,” Sebastian growled. He wrapped one arm around my waist and repositioned us so that he could withdraw and thrust upward while I rested on his chest. Sebastian hooked his other arm under my right leg, pulling it up to my chest. A yelp of surprised pleasure burst from me as the next thrust was even deeper.

There was no more conscious thought after that. It was just riding wave after wave of intense ecstasy as he moved in and out of my body like a fucking jackhammer. There was no more finesse or sweet teasing. This was a pounding to knock my teeth out of my head as we raced to the finish line.

Unable to stand it another second, I finally released the chair arm with one hand and closed my aching fingers around my cock. I stroked myself, chasing that tantalizing high until I was screaming my release. My ears were still ringing when Sebastianshouted. The arm across my middle tightened, and I thought he was going to crack a rib.

As I panted, sprawled across my lover with his cock still lodged in my ass, I blinked and the glittering Eiffel Tower came into focus in the distance. I was sweaty, breathless, and sated within an inch of my life in the most romantic city in the world, with a priceless view of one of the iconic structures. It was the perfect moment.

Of course, Sebastian found a way to make it even more perfect.

Soft lips kissed the side of my head down to my ear, where he whispered, “I love you.”

I felt those words in my soul where they were inscribed with Sebastian’s every tender act.

“I love you, too. Thank you for the perfect ending to the perfect day.”

Sebastian hummed and nuzzled the side of my head. “It’s not over until I have you cleaned up and tucked into bed next to me.”

That sounded like heaven, except it required me to move, and right now, I wasn’t sure I could stand on my shaky legs. But my boyfriend was right there to help me up. We stumbled into the bathroom for a quick, hot shower to wash the day and night off us before slipping between the cool sheets.

Sebastian paused long enough to close the balcony door and draw the curtains so the rising sun wouldn’t wake us. As he stretched out beside me, I rolled to rest my head on his chest, listening to the steady rhythm of his heart under my ear.

“I have an idea…” Sebastian began as sleep was wandering off with my thoughts. Sebastian’s crazy ideas had a way of startling me awake.

“No,” I said instantly.

“What? I haven’t even told you what my idea is yet.”

“You’re thinking of blowing off your meetings tomorrow to spend the day sightseeing with me or fucking me into another coma,” I replied, pinching his side.

“Ha! I wasn’t thinking that, but now I am.”

I chuckled and kissed the center of his chest. “No. Go to your meetings. I’m sure you’ll be done by one or two. That will give me time to finish my reading, and we can meet up for a late lunch.”

Sebastian captured the hand that had pinched his side and pulled it up to kiss. “Fine. But your idea sounds better.”

“What was your idea?” I asked, trying to get him on track before I dozed off. The bed was like sleeping on a cloud. The air conditioning made the room delightfully cool, allowing me to press against Sebastian without becoming overheated.

“Move in with me.”

“What?” I gasped. I sat up so that I could face him, but it was so dark in our room that I couldn’t see him at all.

Sebastian shifted, pushing me onto my back on the mattress while he hovered over me. “Move in with me. If I won’t see your beautiful face every day at the office, I need to at least wake up to it every morning. I need you to be the last person I see when I fall asleep at night.”

“You’re ridiculous.”

“Also, dead serious.”

“Sebastian, don’t you think it’s too fast? We’ve been dating all of two months.”

“You’re lucky I haven’t proposed to you yet.”

I started to laugh, but choked on it. He wasn’t joking.
