I unclasped my bra and let it fall to the ground then walked up to him.Hespread his legs, letting me walk up to him.

“Kiss me,Archer,”Idemanded asIcrawled on top of him.

Not one to waste that small opportunityIwas giving him, he grabbed my face and pulled me in for a hard kiss.Histongue slid in as he worked my mouth as though he was putting every level of effort into the kiss.

His hands started to roam all over my body before stopping at my waistband.Heran his fingers over the outside of my underwear, andIknew he could likely feel how wet they were.

“Archer,”Isaid against his lips, though my voice came across hoarse.

“God,Imissed hearing you moan my name more than anything.”

That comment hit me hard.Ineeded this man—now.

“Archer,Ineed you inside me,”Ipractically begged him as his fingers slid inside me.

OhGod, that felt good.

He looked up at me. “Areyou sure?”

What did he ask?

Oh right. “Yes.Now,”Iurged.

“Grab my pants.Ineed a condom,” he said, thoughIcould hear the strain in his voice.

His fingers slipped out andIimmediately wanted them back, soImoved quickly to grab his pants on the floor.Notsure where the condom was and needing to hurry,Ithrew his pants at him.

He chuckled at my urgency, butIdidn’t care.Hereached in and grabbed a condom, putting it on in record time.

Now fully naked and sheathed in front of me, he put his hands around my face and kissed me.Helifted to a sitting position on the side of the bed.

“Let me help you out of this very restrictive underwear,”Archersaid with a smile.

With both hands at my hips, he slowly peeled my underwear off and then stared at me as if he couldn’t believe this was real.

“Come here.”Hetook my hand and then shifted to sit with his back against the headboard. “You’rein control here,Ace,” he said, pulling me onto the bed with him.

I liked that.Iliked that he was giving this to me.Butwith that power came responsibility.Ineeded to be careful not to get more emotionally involved thanIcould handle.

I moved to straddle him, hovering just above him.Asmuch asIhated to admit it,Iwanted this.Icraved this.Inthis moment, there was nothingIneeded more.

I lowered myself down on top of him slowly and took him inside me.Mybreath hitched as a fullnessIhad not felt in a long time consumed me.

“Damn,Ace.Youfeel just as good asIremember.Perfection.”

Did he just say that?

I looked down at his body beneath me, and my eyes focused on the ace of hearts over his chest.He’dpermanently inked himself because of me.Delightand gratitude flowed through me asIlooked at that tattoo.Itmade me feel powerful and formidable that this man would eternally mark his skin because of me.

I moved slowly up and down, allowing myself to adjust to him and just enjoying the moment.Sincethis was only going to happen once,Iwanted to savor it.Rememberhow good it felt.

One time.Thatwas it.IfIkept repeating it enough times, maybeIwould actually believe it.

ARCHER

I had spent years dreaming of being inside her again, and the reality was everythingIhad hoped it would be.Theonly difference was that her body had filled out more.Shehad more curves now, andIloved every inch.Iwanted time to explore all of her, butIknew she needed this to be on her terms, soIwas going to let her have that control.
