She stilled. “Everything cool with Javier?”

“He was there, and likes things the way it worked out,” Colin reassured.

“Yes!” She went back to her kisses, slowing until they were less excited and more aroused.

His hand fumbled with herbra snap, and she kissed his neck. Colin changed tactics and focused on her pants.

“I’ll help you out with the bra if you lose the rest of your clothes.”

He unsnapped her bra. “I’ll do both anyway.”

All the joking slipped from her mind, and she hooked her arms around his neck. “Colin—” He didn’t cut her off with a word. More a look. A feeling. An intensity so strong she couldn’t breathe forneeding him. “I know there’s sex and orgasms, and feeling great, and I love that, but you need to know something.”

“Tell me,” he whispered.

“I need to feelyou. It’s more than physical, and I can’t explain it. Just you with me. Surrounding me. In me. Covering me. Breathing with me. For me. Because of me.”

He stared down like maybe she’d spoken another language, then swept her hair back, strokingher cheek. “Always.”

“I don’t know if I’m making sense…”

The air around them hung warm as his gentle smile. His patience and precision were honed on her, and even if it didn’t make sense to him, she knew he’d give her what she needed.

“It does.” He trailed his hand down her neck as her pulse jumped. “You need to be loved.”

The rough pads of his fingers teased over her nipples, circling eachand massaging the breast, smoothing from one mound to another, and he curled her to his body, nuzzling against her neck, pressing her back to his stomach, her backside to his groin.

Adelia sighed as his warm palm smoothed over her, stretching and rubbing to her stomach, dipping his fingers into her navel, and to her sex, only to slide to her breasts again. The languid touch had her nearly dreaming,sighing as quiet gasps fell with the rhythm he played with her body.

His thick erection grew, and with every writhe, she swayed against him, touching and exploring him, feeling his velvety strength and watching as he reacted to the slightest touch. These were things she noticed when not virgin nervous or screwing against the wall. These were the caresses she didn’t know to long for.

“Colin…”

His fingers cupped her mound, dancing pressure on her clitoris. “Yeah, babe.”

She inhaled at the intense sensation, feeling the ripples rush through her and fade away. “If I hadn’t fallen in love with you, I might now for what we’re doing.”

He laughed quietly against her ear, and shivers ran down her spine. He stroked her pussy, spreading her open, and Colin dipped a finger inside her, thentwo, easing in and out, stretching her body as his tongue trailed her ear.

He fingered and kissed, spreading her leg open as she cried for more. She stroked him but that wasn’t enough, and she awkwardly tried to guide him from behind her.

“Let me hold you like…” He moved behind her, but she wanted him to cover her. Adelia laid on her stomach, hollowing her back, and Colin ran his hand downthe slope of her spine then leaned over her waiting body. The thick head of his hard-on contacted her most sensitive flesh.

“I love this.” And, even more, she loved exploring with him. The pressure of him pushing into her vagina from behind left her panting when they hadn’t started. “This is new. Good.”

“Yes?” he asked.

“God, yeah.” Nearly flat on her stomach, Adelia pleaded for more of him,and Colin gave her what she needed, inch by inch.

She grasped the covers, and mouth agape, couldn’t open her eyes until he’d seated himself inside of her, leaning close to her neck, and kissing slowly.

“I love you,” she promised.

With more care than she’d ever felt, his powerful muscles encircled her, and he stroked in and out, making her moan and pray with every move. He hugged her whileshe did little more than exist, flying higher with each thrust.

Colin rolled them to their sides, and a roll of heaven took over her hips. He thrust, and his hand covered her mound. “God, Adelia.”

She kicked her leg over his thigh, and he circled her clit, trying tempos and touches, bringing her higher and higher while she clenched her muscles and rocked to meet his cock.
