“I am, thank you.”
“Will you give me a smile?” he asked, while continuing to caress my face.
And how could I not? This man deserved everything. I smiled, but I did it genuinely, I did it sincerely. I no longer had reasons not to.
“I like your smile,” he said, also smiling.
“I like you,” I affirmed, giving him a soft kiss on the lips.
William looked at me with emotion reflected in his eyes.
“You are wonderful, ‘Sweet,’,don’t let anyone tell you otherwise,” he said, and I knew he was referring to my mother and that he had probably heard some of what I had said to her. “You came into my life to disrupt it, but then to put it in order. You are my calm, you are the one who silenced all my demons, you are the love of my life. Love is this thing we have, being able to laugh together, being able to cry without shame and calm the anguish we might be feeling, it’s those hugs that make us feel safe, it’s knowing that always and regardless of absolutely anything, we will be there for each other. Love is you, my love is you.” He leaned in and kissed me.
The kiss mingled with the tears I was shedding without being able to stop them, but they were no longer tears of anguish, they were tears of happiness.
“I love you, William.”
“I want to make love to you,” he whispered, with his lips pressed against mine.
“And I want you to make love to me,” I affirmed, kissing him passionately.
William lifted me up and carried me in his arms to our bedroom. With utmost delicacy, he laid me down on the bed and began to remove my nightgown and underwear while leaving a trail of kisses across my body. Then he took off his t-shirt and boxer shorts, and looked at me with adoration.
“You are so beautiful,” he said, and as if he couldn’t stay away from me any longer, he came closer and kissed me with need.
Immediately my hands got lost in his body, caressing his firm torso, his narrow waist, his strong and muscular arms, his firm buttocks. His muscles tensed under my hands and his breathing became increasingly agitated. We were a bundle of kisses,caresses, and gasps, while we whispered how much we loved each other. His hands slid delicately over my skin, caressing my breasts, my belly, and continued their path lower. I held back a choked cry when his fingers sank into me, under his intense and burning gaze.
“Don’t hold back, my love. Scream my name.”
“William… aaah.”
We kissed again and then he slid his burning lips over my chin, my neck, and followed the same path that his hands had taken minutes before. I moaned loudly when he buried his head between my legs. I was at my limit, I could no longer stop moaning and writhing. William was also at his limit, and his gasps and breathing were increasingly accelerated, just like his mouth tasting every corner of my intimacy. And he took me to that point of no return and I exploded in an orgasm that swept away even my consciousness. My heart was beating at a frantic rhythm and I felt I couldn’t fill my lungs with air. His lips returned to mine and the kiss gradually brought me back to reality. A few seconds later he interrupted the kiss and looked at me in that way only he could, a look that was a mixture of love and admiration that sent a shiver through my entire body. I would never tire of that look.
Without taking his eyes off mine, his hands gripped my waist and, with a grunt, he slid inside me until he was deeply buried. At that moment William closed his eyes and I caressed his face.
“Look at me, William,” I said, and he immediately opened his eyes and fixed his burning gaze on me. “I love you. I love you so much that I feel my heart is going to explode with happiness.”
“You are the love of my life, Devon. I love you like I never thought it was possible to love,” he said, letting the air escape between his teeth.
Our bodies coupled and ready to move, seeking that friction that would drive us to madness. And we did. I raised my hips toward him and William began to move. With the first thrust, we both moaned loudly. It was glorious. The movements became faster and stronger, and our moans were the only thing filling the room, it was the sound of love. I felt that pleasurable sensation growing again and William accelerated his thrusts, and I let myself be carried away by it, and I screamed his name when the orgasm shot through my body like an electric discharge.
“William…”
He arched his back and with one last thrust shouted my name as he came.
“Devooon.”
He collapsed onto my body while hiding his head in my neck and giving me delicate kisses there. I wrapped my legs and arms around him, feeling his warm body and the beating of his heart. I hugged him and sought his lips to kiss him.
“William.”
“Yes?”
“I love you. My love for you is real and solid. I’m going to love you all my life. I love the family we have, I love Aurora and I’m sure that the love I feel for her is the same I would feel if I had carried her in my womb. Thank you for this beautiful family. Thank you for everything.”
“Don’t thank me for loving you, my sweet doctor. I love you more than I can express with words, but if you look at how I gaze at you, you should already know it.”
And looking into his eyes, I saw that great love William felt for me, as well as the reflection of what I felt for him. He smiled at me, and I knew I would do whatever it took to make sure he never lost that smile.
