I stripped off the rest of my clothes and positioned myself at her entrance.
"Look at me," I said.
Her eyes locked on mine as I pushed inside, slow and deep. She was so warm, so perfect, and the way she wrapped around me felt like coming home.
"Fuck," I breathed. "Aria."
"I love you," she said, the words tumbling out like she couldn't hold them back anymore.
"I love you, Liam."
My chest tightened, and I had to close my eyes for a second to compose myself. When I opened them again, she was still looking at me with that same open, vulnerable expression.
"I love you too," I said, and started to move.
It wasn't fast or rough. I took my time, pulling almost all the way out before sliding back in, making sure she felt every inch of me. Her legs wrapped around my waist, and her hands roamed my back, my shoulders, my hair.
"You feel so good," she moaned. "So perfect."
I dipped my head to kiss her neck, her jaw, her lips. "You're perfect. You're everything."
Her breathing quickened, and I could feel her starting to tighten around me. I reached between us and found her clit, rubbing slow circles that matched the rhythm of my thrusts.
"Oh god," she whimpered. "Liam, I'm—"
"I know, baby. Let go. I've got you.”
She came with my name on her lips, her whole body shuddering beneath me. The feeling of her pulsing around my cock was almost too much, and I followed her over the edge moments later, burying myself as deep as I could go.
We stayed like that for a long moment, connected and breathing hard. I pressed kisses to her forehead, her cheeks, her lips.
"Stay tonight," I said.
"Please."
Aria smiled up at me, her eyes soft and full of something that looked a lot like love.
"Okay."
I rolled to the side and pulled her against my chest, her head tucked under my chin.
My hand traced lazy patterns on her back as our breathing slowly returned to normal.
"Liam?" she said after a while.
“Yeah?"
"Thank you for being honest with me. About your feelings."
I kissed the top of her head.
"Thank you for not running away when I told you."
She laughed softly.
"Where would I go? You guys have ruined me for anyone else."
"Good," I said, and I meant it. "Because I don't plan on letting you go.”
