His tongue slid into my mouth and whirled around. I moaned.
“No,” he breathed. Then he lifted me up.
I hooked my legs around his waist, and he walked up the stairs with me wrapped around him. We went straight to his bedroom, where he threw me down on my back on the bed.
He marched straight to the nightstand, pulled open the drawer, and found a condom. He tore it open with his teeth as he walked back to me. “Stay where you are.”
I was lying on my back with my legs apart. “I wouldn’t dream of moving.”
He stood between my legs and rolled the condom on. Then he pushed my legs back, stepped in close, and eased his length inside me.
I was so wet he slid right in. I gasped. He groaned.
I felt my own juices trickling down my thighs.
“Yes,” I breathed as my eyes fell closed. “Deeper.”
Cal started off nice and slow, working me carefully closer to my second orgasm of the day. He knew what he was doing between my legs. He slid in and pushed up, grinding himself against me to hit all the right places. Then, when I wasn’t expecting it, he pressed his thumb to my clit and began rubbing it in slow circles.
I came in seconds.
Cal stood above me smiling as I writhed beneath him. He applied more pressure, and I clutched at the sheets beneath me as I lost control of my body. My back arched, and my toes curled, and everything blurred away except for him looming above me, his powerful muscles rippling, his jaw clenched, and his eyes burning with desire.
Then he fell forward, bracing himself with his hands on either side of my head—just like in my dream. His rhythm quickened, and his hips slapped against my skin. The sound echoed around us as I gasped and sighed and gave in to the pleasure.
I screamed his name as I came and buried my fingers in his hair, clutching him to me as he continued rolling his hips until he too came undone. He held himself deep inside me as we both caught our breaths, and he propped himself up on his elbows to kiss my nose and jaw and cheeks.
I smiled up at him. “For the record, I love you too.”
The grin that stretched his handsome face was the most wonderful thing I had ever seen. It made me laugh so hard that it surprised me. My whole body was light with joy and euphoria as he rolled off me and got to his feet.
He went to the bathroom to clean up and left the door open. I scooted higher up on his bed to lean against his pillows.
When he came back, he laid down beside me, and I curled into his side, laying my cheek on his chest and hooking my left leg over his. “Now what are we going to do?” I asked.
He sighed and began stroking my hair. “I will do anything you want, as long as it’s with you.”
“Anything, huh?” I asked, looking deviously up at him.
“Anything,” he said again.
I giggled and rested my cheek back down. His heart beat steadily in his chest in a soothing rhythm. I closed my eyes. The beating of his heart mingled with the sound of our breathing and of my own heartbeat.
Tiredness crept in around me and wrapped its arms around us. I nuzzled in tighter to Cal’s side as he pulled the blankets over us.
“We’ll figure it all out as we go, Lina,” he said softly. “Together.”
I smiled. “Together.”

CALLUM
Lina leaned in and straightened my tie. Her lips were pressed firmly together in concentration and were a vibrant shade of red. When my tie was as perfect as it was going to get, she moved up to quickly tame some hairs that had blown out of place in the walk from the car to the back office we were in now, waiting before I was led out for my press conference for my campaign for mayor.
“I think it’s as good as it’s going to get,” I told her as she stood back with her hand on her hip, examining me.
“I think so too,” she said. “You look great. Do you want to run through your speech one more time?”
