I clutched his shoulders, crying out with each domineering thrust as he pounded me into the mattress. He lost control, he was savage, as if an inner beast were controlling his actions. Or maybe this was what lack of control was like as he claimed me. He had been a very thorough lover our previous times together, but never anything like this. He continued to surprise me, and I loved each new aspect of him that I discovered.

And my body loved it. I had to suck in air or I’d stop breathing altogether. My body tensed and released over and over, building up to the final release. I was throbbing and pulsing against his thrusts. I couldn’t keep up. I could feel the wave approaching, and when it broke, I would have no control. I barely had any now.

“Don’t stop. Whatever you do, do not stop now,” I begged.

I was so close, so very close, and then there it was. I cried out a keening wail. My body was no longer my own. My inner walls tightened and broke and throbbed and spasmed. I gulped frantically for air. I needed Bryan to keep slamming into me until I broke. The spasms demanded more from him, from me. The orgasm grew in intensity, finally exploding like the supernova I was named for. I was scattered light, stardust.

With a deep growl, Bryan slammed against me and I felt his hot seed spill into me. I was his completely, and he was mine. I locked my legs around him and held him in place, for no other reason than I didn’t want him to leave me. There would be no slipping away and out of my life. He was mine. I wanted him locked to me forever.

BRYAN

Nova’s warm presence was very welcome as I woke up. She was no longer a dream but real and in my bed. I tightened my arms around her and cuddled in closer, spooning around her curves and rubbing my cheek against her hair.

She sighed and wiggled back against me. I was momentarily hopeful she was awake and ready for more fooling around, but her next sigh had her entire body relaxing and becoming completely limp. She was fully asleep.

I held her and drifted in and out of sleep until she rolled in my arms.

“Are you awake?” she asked.

“Have been for a bit,” I admitted.

“I can’t believe I’m really here.” She squirmed around and tucked her head under my chin and wrapped her arms around my ribs.

“It’s a dream come true,” I murmured. “Better than Christmas.”

She laughed. “How is this better than Christmas? All those presents, all those…” She paused and held her breath.

“Nova?” I tried to look down at her but was met with a face full of her hair.

She sucked in a large breath. “All those surprises. Sorry,” she said as she blew out the air. “Some of yesterday’s surprises kind of sucked.”

“Not the one with me and the ring?” I hoped.

“That was the best of the best. Unfortunately, the situation with Veronica wanted to be remembered just then. Considering how my Christmas morning went, I’m changing my mind. You’re right, today is much better.”

“I’d say it’s much better. I get to wake up with you, naked and in my arms.” I ran my hands over her smooth skin.

Nova let out a sexy little hum and arched like a cat into my touch. “Do we have time?”

“I will always have time for you.” I continued to touch her. I loved the way she felt. And I loved it when she squirmed.

“What time does Amelia wake up? I don’t want to traumatize her the first day I live here.”

“The door is locked. She’s not going to walk in on us.” I chuckled.

Nova wiggled out of my arms and sat up. “Maybe not, but she could listen at the door. What if she heard us?”

“Nova,” I started.

She was out of bed and gathering her pajamas from the floor. “Not until I’m more familiar with her schedule. I need to take a shower, anyway. I smell like you and sex.”

“Sounds like a great combination.”

She paused and smiled, and her cheeks turned pink as she blushed. “It really is, but I need to smell like gingerbread and candy canes.”

“Whatever for?” I sat up and watched as Nova bustled around the room, pulling things from her bags.
