"That’s it," I say, voice rough with the strain of holding back. "Give it to me. Show me how many times you can fall apart for me."

She’s falling.

I can feel it.

Her body tightens, legs shaking violently as she comes again, and this time it rips through her like a storm, her cry raw, broken, her cunt pulsing wildly around me as if she’s trying to keep me inside forever.
