The warmth between us intensifies, and I can’t resist the urge to taste her lips again. Our mouths meet in a passionate kiss, while our hands explore each other’s bodies as if it’s the first time. The connection between us is electric; it pulses through every nerve, setting me on fire.

“Jess,” I murmur against her neck.“I want you so much.”

“Then take me,” she whispers, her eyes blazing with desire.

I don’t hesitate for a second. Sliding between her thighs, I claim her body with a fierce passion that leaves us both breathless. Pumping in and out of her tight, hot center, I gaze deep into her eyes. She stares back at me with so much emotion, I wish I could hear her thoughts. I wonder what she thinks about this, about us. Is this simply a way for her to relieve her stress, or is it something more?

As we move as one, the love and trust between us grow stronger. I can’t believe how lucky I am to have this incredible woman in my life. I ache to protect her, not just from physical dangers but from emotional pain as well. Yesterday, I scared her. I never want to do that again. Instead, I’m going to do everything in my power to ensure her happiness.

“Oh, God. Talon, yes,” she moans.

“Come for me, baby,” I whisper, grazing my lips across the shell of her ear.

She arches her back while wrapping her ankles around my thighs. Her cries of pleasure become erratic and shaky. When her nails scrape over my shoulders, my entire body clenches. My toes curl, and the tension in my balls ratchets up ten notches. At this rate, there’s no way I’m going to survive much longer.

“Harder,” she whimpers.

I drive deep, pounding her with almost violent thrusts, exactly the way she likes it. I never expected her to enjoy how rough I can get, but she loves it. She clings to me, urging me on with her hips, coiling around me like a snake, constricting tighter and tighter until she finally explodes.

She tries to muffle her scream by biting my shoulder. I growl and thrust into her quivering pussy one last time before spilling my seed. A rush of ecstasy floods me with pure joy. This is more than just a sensual release; it’s more meaningful than that. I’m falling in love with her, and when we make love, I hope she feels it, too.

Afterwards, we lie tangled together, sweat-slicked and sated. As I gently stroke her hair, her expression grows pensive, her brow furrowing slightly.

“What’s wrong?” I ask softly, concerned about the sudden shift in her mood.

“It’s just … This is super awkward. Never mind.”

“What, baby? You can tell me anything.”

“Um, let’s get showered and dressed first. Talking about this while we’re naked is going to be super weird. Trust me.”

“Okay.”

After a quick shower, we pull on our clothes. Sitting on the edge of the bed, I grab her waist and pull her between my legs. She stands with her hands resting on my shoulders.

“I’m worried about something.” She nibbles on her bottom lip.

“What is it?”

“I haven’t heard from my dad since he left for his honeymoon. He was supposed to be back days ago, but he hasn’t tried to contact me. It’s not like him at all. Usually, he calls me at least once a week.”

“Maybe he’s just having too much fun to remember to call,” I suggest, trying to lighten the mood.

“I hope so,” she murmurs, but the doubt in her voice is clear.“I just can’t shake this feeling that something’s wrong.”

“Hey,” I say, cupping her face in my hands and forcing her to look at me.“Whatever it is, we’ll figure it out, okay? You’re not alone anymore. I’m here for you. We’re a team, right?”

“A team?” Her vibrant smile calms the tension in my belly.

“If you want to be.”

“I do.” She hugs me.“Oh, Talon, I don’t know what I’d do without you.”

“Let’s not find out.” I grin, pressing a tender kiss to her forehead.

In that moment, all my doubts about whether I’m the right man for her vanish. It doesn’t matter if I’m not her usual type. What matters is that we care about each other. If she’s worried about her dad, I’m going to help her figure out what’s going on.

“How about we go check on your dad? Just to make sure everything’s all right.”
