We stayed intimately locked together,connected like puzzle pieces, for a long time. I rained kisses down on her face still unable to believe this had trulyhappened.
My thoughts were interrupted by the light pinch on my ass. When I reared back in surprise, she said, "Just making sure this isreal."
Her words mimicked my thoughts exactly. I couldn't quite comprehend that this had actually happened. I also couldn't believe I had lost control and raw dogged her. "I'm sorry that I didn't wear acondom."
She seemed totally unconcerned about the omission. "I wanted to feel YOU, not a rubber," she said nonchalantly before tipping her head up to kiss mynose.
"I wanted to feel you too," I smiled down at her. "You can't imagine how long I've wanted to be with you likethis."
"Really?" She sounded truly surprised.How could she have not known all of theseyears?
"Mmm," I nodded. I'm not sure if it was the alcohol in my system, or if the endorphins from my mind-blowing orgasm hadn't worn off, but I started sharing all of the numerous things I loved about her. I would say one before pressing my lips to her in a newspot.
"I love how you always smell like fresh peaches and vanilla." Kissing her on the forehead, I added with a naughty grin, "all over." I waggled my brows for added effect, which caused her to give me a firm slap on myass.
"That reminds me, I love how you seem so sweet and innocent, but you're really a naughty minx." Her giggle let me know she was enjoying this as I nibbled behind herear.
"Speaking of your ear," Istarted.
"We weren't," she inserted, but I ignoredit.
"I love how you always try to tuck your hair behind your ear, but there's always one wayward lock that just won't behave." I kissed hercheek.
"Oh, and I love it when you worry your bottom lip between your teeth whenever you are concerned about something." I nipped her lower lip with myteeth.
She ran her hands up over my back, raising goosebumps in their wake. "I love how you let people know you care by placing a soothing hand on their shoulder." I ran my tongue along her collarbone and out towards hershoulder.
Brushing my hand along her forehead, I looked deeply into her eyes as I said, "I love how your eyes sparkle when you tell a funny story––or one that youthinkis funny," I teased her, which earned me another smart smack on the other asscheek.
Undaunted by her sweet torture, I continued. "I love how you laugh with your whole body. In fact, your fantastic belly laugh was what first attracted me to you that night we all met at thebar."
I knew we were moving into dangerous territory, but my stupid mouth wouldn't stoprambling.
"You were attracted to me?" She sounded dumbfounded. "Why didn't you ever sayanything?"
"He claimed you first." It sounded archaic and like we were living by an outdated caveman mentality, but it was absolutely what happened, and I would not pussyfoot around itanymore.
She nodded as if she understood that this was my truth. "I wish he hadn't," she whispered near myear.
It was the best and worst moment of my life. These were the words I had waited for eons to hear, but I knew they wouldn't change anything in themorning.
"Reed?" I wondered what bombshell she would drop next. In her ever-unpredictable manner, she surprised me by saying, "Mind rolling off me? I can barelybreathe."
We both laughed as I complied with her request. Then she snuggled up next to me and dozedoff.
I savored the feeling of holding her––literally the woman of my dreams––in my arms for a long while, until I drifted off aswell.
