My fingers slip beneath his shirt, exploring the firm muscles of his chest, feeling the powerful thud of his heartbeat beneath my palms. He tenses slightly beneath my touch, a low, appreciative groan rumbling through his chest.

“Maisie,” he murmurs roughly, pulling back just enough to look into my eyes, his breathing ragged. “I need you…”

His voice trails off uncertainly, eyes searching mine carefully for confirmation.

“I need you too,” I whisper softly, even as I arch into him, pressing my body more fully against his.

He kisses me again, softer this time, savoring me slowly. His mouth moves gently against mine, sweet and tender, filled with emotion. My fingers thread gently through his dark hair, my heart swelling with unexpected warmth and affection.

We kiss slowly, lingering in this beautiful, intimate moment, letting the tension and urgency gradually give way to tenderness. His hand strokes my hair gently, his thumb caressing my cheek, his gaze full of wonder when he finally pulls back slightly, breathing softly.

“I don’t want to rush this,” he whispers gently, pressing a soft kiss to my forehead. “I want this to be perfect for you.”

“It already is,” I whisper honestly, my voice filled with warmth and gratitude. “I’ve dreamed about this for so long.”

He smiles softly, eyes warm with affection. “Me too.”

“Stay with me tonight?” I ask softly, fingers tracing gently along his chest.

He tightens his arms around me, pressing a kiss to my hair. “There’s nowhere else I’d rather be.”

I smile softly, feeling happier than I have in years. Being here, with Connor, feels utterly right. Perfect.

Connor

I can’t believe I’m here right now. This is everything I’ve dreamed about for a long time. We move together toward her bedroom in the back of the house. I can’t stop kissing her, and as we navigate down the hallway, we bump into the walls, laughing lightly as we go.

“Here we are,” she says as we enter her bedroom.

“It’s perfect.” I shut the door behind us. “You’re perfect.”

She blushes and I love making her cheeks turn red. “So are you.” Her doe-eyes gaze up at me, and my heart beats double time.

I’m nervous, and Ineverget nervous. However, for some reason I am with her. I move closer to her, spinning her around with my hands on her waist. I undo the knot at her neck and let her red sundress slip to the floor, pooling at her feet.

I suck in a breath. “Turn around,” I tell her, wanting to see all of her.

She does as I say, and I get my fill of staring at her shamelessly. She’s in sexy cotton-white panties, and a matching bra with a tiny red bow in the center.

Fuck me.

My body hardens instantly as I stare at her. “Maisie, you’re so much more than I imagined you’d be.”

She bites her lower lip. “You’ve imagined me like this?”

I step closer, filling the space between us. “So many fucking times.”

She blinks. “Did you ever, you know… jerk off to thoughts of me.”

I nod, hoping she doesn’t think I’m some creep, or something. “Yeah, I have,” I whisper, wanting to be totally honest with her.

She sucks in a deep breath. “That’s so hot,” she says with a small smile.

“Really?” I slip a finger under the strap of her bra, sliding it over her shoulder. I lean closer, kissing the top of her shoulder, and her breathing picks up. “Have you ever thought about me?”

Her eyes meet mine. “All the time.”
