He brought his lips to mine, “I need to taste you.”

Before I could catch my next breath, he leaned up pulling me towards the end of the bed and bent my knees and let my ankles rest on his shoulders. He commanded me to look at him while sliding two of his fingers inside of me. The ache was slowly building as he took his other hand and gently pulled, and rolled my nipple with his expert fingers. The roughness of his hands against my skin only intensified my longing for him.

In an instant, he pulled himself back, only to place his mouth on my clit and eagerly start flicking his tongue as he devoured me with his mouth. The feelings between us were swirling with the sexual tension that had been building up all week. My attempt to delay and prolong the moment was useless as I felt my body losing control taking all the fight I had in me with it. My legs shuddered violently when I came, crying out his name.

Waves of pleasure continued to hit me one by one. My vision blurred as I felt my orgasm drain from my body. Closing my eyes, I turned my face, taking a moment to catch my breath. I watched him shake his head as he climbed on top of me bringing his erection between my legs.

“I’m not finished with you yet.”

I drew in a breath as he pushed himself inside. My walls tightened around his length and the sensations were almost overwhelming. Looking back towards him, I could see the muscles in his jaw pulse and his eyes darken. Guided by instinct, I allowed my hips to rise to meet his thrusts until I was able to match his rhythm while he claimed andpossessed every inch of my body. His eyes never left mine, and the pull in my chest was too much to process all at once. All the emotions I had inside started to crest to the surface and I wanted so badly to tell him those three little words. I wanted him to know how much he meant to me. The words were on the tip of my tongue but nothing came out. He let out a soft groan as his hands pressed deeper into my flesh. Using his new leverage, he started to pick up the pace and drove himself deeper with every thrust.

My fingers clawed at his chest, as he pounded into me harder, as a growl vibrated from his lungs. “Fuck.” He shouted out, his voice thickened with pleasure. He threw his head back, and slammed himself into me for the last time. The intensity that had been building between my legs came undone with his final stroke, sending my orgasm rippling through me. I felt him everywhere as the liquid heat traveled through my system. Chase was right there with me as he buried his face in my neck and cried out my name.

After taking a moment to get my breathing back under control, I rolled over to the side and climbed on top of him. He brushed my hair off my face and smiled.

“Fuck, I needed that,” he said, then pulled on the back of my neck pressing a kiss to my mouth.

I cupped his face in my hands liking the way he leaned into my touch. “I needed that, too. Thank you”.

His thumb traced along my bottom lip,” What are you thanking me for?”

“For everything.” I closed my eyes and forced my heartbeat to slow down. “I’ve never felt this way before. I’ve never been this happy or so sure about how I feel. But at the same time, my feelings for you scare me a little. This relationship has turned into something that I never saw coming. Something so big and so profound, I don’t ever want to lose it.”

His face went stoic, and I wondered if I had said too much.

“I’m sorry, forget I said anything.” My heart skittered across my chest as the air around us went still. Although every part of me felt drawn to him, something in the back of my mind reminded me that I needed to take it slow.

I tried to pull away but he brought his hand to my cheek forcing me to look at him. His face softened as his hands brushed a strand of hair off my face.

“If you’re scared, then I’m completely screwed because I’m right there with you.”

He wrapped his arms around me, securely fastening our bodies together. In my heart, I knew what just happened between us was so much more than just sex. Everything inside of me was starting to take notice; we were really on the start of something big and beautiful.

I awakened the next morning with a strong muscular arm draped over my waist. Very carefully, I slid my body out from underneath his hoping I didn’t wake him. On my way to the bathroom, I peeked out through the blinds to preview today’s weather. The clouds were rolling in and a storm appeared to be brewing over the Atlantic. I couldn’t help but sigh, thinking this dreary day did not match my current mood.

I took a quick shower, brushed my teeth, towel-dried my hair and threw on some clean clothes. Knowing that Chase was in the next room lying naked in my bed had me anxiously making my way towards my bedroom. As I opened the door, he spotted me from across the room and stood to meet me halfway. The playful smile that he had just a few hours ago, was gone and his eyes had taken on a darkness that matched the turning weather outside. Not sure what could have happened to change the mood, I reluctantly asked him, “Is everything okay?”

He stepped towards me, holding out my cell phone so I could get a good look at the screen. “What the fuck is this?” he shouted, holding my phone up to my face. As soon as my eyes landed on the text, my heart sank into the pit of my stomach.

Thanks for dinner last night. I’ll call you later. Love you!
