This alleviates nothing.
Every moment only intensifies my desire. Hesitation evaporates like fog bathed by the sun.
Her fingers dig into my shoulders, her mouth parts with a moan,and her hips grind against mine in a perfect rhythm. I press her wrists gently into the mattress, our fingers laced like we’re doing a goddamn slow dance. Her thighs tighten around me and she arches up, gasping as I thrust deeper, harder. Ligaya shudders, dragging her nails down my back, pulling me closer.
I lose my head a little, plundering her with more force, more speed, more ofme.She feels incredible. Tightness grips me with each plunge, her walls providing perfect friction. I’ve never felt this lost in a woman’s body. Ligaya wraps one hand around the back of my neck and pulls me into a passionate kiss.
“Yes, yes. I’m there! Oh god, Tristan,” she wails. Her body clenches around mine. I follow her over the edge, my climax wringing me with pulses so powerful, I blank out a little.
We collapse, still clinging to each other. Silence stretches as our breathing settles. Ligaya tilts away from me, but I automatically hold her closer. Instead of leaving the bed, she cuddles against me in a soft press. It’s not just her body that softens. Something precious and rare settles between us.
“I promise I can last longer next time.”
“Next time? Is there going to be a next time?”
“That’s entirely up to you. If you’re done with me...” I trail off, unable to continue the awful thought.
“I’m not done with you,” she whispers.
I don’t know how she makes that phrase—I’m not done with you—sound romantic, but it might as well be a poem for how much it does to me. I lean down and kiss her again, slower this time. Like we’ve got all the time in the world.
When I finally rest my forehead against hers and close my eyes, it hits me that I really might stay too long.
But this time, it sounds like exactly what I should do.
