I kissed my way up her body, taking my time to worship every inch of her skin I could reach. And, yeah, I was spreading the scent of us all over her. Didn’t think she minded so much the way she took my mouth once I lined my body up with hers.
“That was perfect,” she said as she cupped my face with her soft, sweet hands and gazed up at me with a blissed-out look clouding her eyes. “Thank you.”
“Ain’t gotta thank me, Sunshine.”
“You made it more than I ever imagined. You took care of me. So, yeah, I have to thank you. Thank you for loving me. Thank you for realizing what we couldn’t see. Thank you for loving Evan.”
Fuck, I was blushing.
I didn’t do that shit.
But I’d also never felt so loved and wanted before.
Never thought I’d be someone’s forever. Hell, I was two people’s forever. That shit made me feel alive more than anything ever had.
“I love you,” I said.
“I love you too.” She giggled, still hopped up from her orgasm, clearly. “I’m not a virgin anymore.”
I burst out with a laugh as I flopped down beside her. I pulled her into my body, still laughing.
“No, that you are not.”
“Chry?” She bit her lip.
“Yeah?”
“I like being your good girl.”
My dick twitched at the thought.
“Fuck,” I breathed out as I scrubbed a hand over my face. “You’re gonna be the death of me.”
How she managed to pull off sweet and innocent while having a little dirty in her, I had no idea. But she did. And that shit was working for me. I liked the idea of being the one to open her up to this new side of herself. I had a feeling this was only the beginning, and I couldn’t fuckin’ wait to see more.
Eventually, I rolled out of bed and got a warm washcloth to clean her up. She wasn’t even shy as I carefully wiped her down, but her cheeks did get a little pink as I pulled the cloth away. Then I tucked us under the covers. I had a damn smile on my face as she curled up with her head on my chest.
We fell asleep, naked and unashamed.
When Ev called later that night, she told him about it. Not in so much detail, but she gushed like she was talking to her best friend. Which she was.
And the way she was talking made me realize that he already knew it was going to happen. She’d been planning this. She was determined for me to take her V-card today and she’d been working herself up to make it so.
Damn. Why did I find that hot as fuck? Her taking control like that, getting her way. Yeah… she was gonna be a bit of a handful, I imagined. And fuck if that didn’t turn me on.
There was something about this moment that settled me. Her head on my bare chest, gabbing on the phone to the man I loved. Not even a whiff of jealousy in the air. Like I could be with her and he wouldn’t get hurt by it. I could be with him without her feeling jealous. And they could talk for hours without me feeling like I was left out.
I knew this was my forever.
I was damn lucky that I finally got it right.
Epilogue
Cat
“We have, like, no furniture,” I said to Chry as I looked around what had already been moved in.
There was a couch in the living room that I’d seen online when I thought we were casually looking at stuff. Which I was surprised because I hadn’t thought Chry was really paying attention then, but he must have since he bought the darn thing. There was also a table in the dining room. No chairs, just a table. I had no clue where he’d gotten it from. I was currently looking at the sad dining room, wondering what the heck we were going to do with this place.
