He pushed his hands beneath her hips, lifting and angling, so he could hit the spot that would make her lose control. He quickened his efforts, and her head fell back. Her eyes were closed, her lips parted as she clung to him, stealing gasps of air as they made love to their own passionate beat. A sheen of sweat covered their flesh as he pounded faster, took her harder. He felt tension mounting in her thighs, creeping up her torso, until her whole body was taut, her heels digging into the back of his legs. Her eyes opened, and she held his gaze, sending his heart into a spiral of emotions. His girl knew just what he wanted—what he needed—to see and feel all of her.
“I adore you,” he said passionately as his mouth covered hers in a greedy kiss.
He struggled, holding off his own release as her inner muscles pulsed tight and hot around his shaft. Pressure mounted at the base of his spine, throbbing and burning with every thrust. Her nails cut into his flesh, sending spikes of desire darting through him.
She tore her mouth away, pleading, “Come with me.”
He abandoned all restraint, following her over the edge, into a world so full of Serena, it was all he could do to remember how to breathe.
They lay together afterward, Serena’s fingers trailing lightly over his skin as she nuzzled closer and whispered, “I have to pee.”
He chuckled. “You’re so romantic.” He kissed her forehead, then patted her butt and said, “Go.”
He laced his fingers behind his head, watching her full hips sway as she padded across the floor. She’d never seemed the least bit self-conscious about her body. Most women tried to cover up their bodies, but Serena was comfortable in her own skin. He loved that about her. A whisper of a voice in his head wondered if she’d been like that with all the guys she’d been with. He glanced at the card she’d given him on his nightstand, and he knew the answer didn’t matter. Her heart had always belonged to him, just like his had to her.
She came out of the bathroom with a playful expression on her face and grabbed one of his T-shirts from the stack of clean laundry on the chair in the corner. “Mine.”
He laughed as he stepped from the bed. “I sure am.”
He helped her put on his shirt, which covered far too much of her. Then he gathered her in his arms and kissed the tip of her nose. “I’m glad you’re here, Supergirl. Not just for the incredible sex, but I think now I know why I’ve never brought a woman here.”
“You never…? Not once?”
“Not once.”
She pressed her lips to his chest. “Because you knew it would break my heart to see them leave in the morning?”
“I never got that far in my thinking. You and I picked out this bed, and you know I always hoped that one day we’d finally get our timing right. It would have felt wrong to bring you into my bed after someone else had been there.”
The appreciation in her eyes made the pit of his stomach go all squirrely.
“You just earned major bonus points.”
“Good, because I definitely want to collect on them later. I’ll be right back.” He went to use the bathroom and was pleased to discover the scent of her perfume lingering in the air. Damn, he loved that.
After washing up, he returned to an empty bedroom and spotted Serena standing out on the balcony. She was leaning on the railing, arms folded in front of her as she gazed out at the bay. The breeze lifted her hair from her shoulder, pressing the soft cotton of his shirt to her curves. Her left knee was bent, her toes perched just behind her right foot. She looked sexy and innocent, and she was finally his. Drake couldn’t resist snagging his phone from his shorts pocket and snapping a picture. My girl.
He grabbed a pair of boxer briefs from the pile on the chair and stepped into them. Then he went to her, wrapping his arms around her from behind.
“What’s going on in your beautiful mind?” He kissed her neck, and she closed her eyes, relaxing against his chest.
“You. Me. The Cape. Our friends. My new job.”
“And here I thought I’d worn you out too much to think.”
She turned in his arms. Her hands slid down to his butt, and she smiled up at him. “You did, but now that it’s over, all that happiness helps me see things more clearly.”
