“I more than like you. Where’s the other place you feel at peace? Maybe that’s where we should go to school.”

I couldn’t believe how tonight had gone. What we’d both agreed to for our future.

I smiled down at him. “We can’t go to school there.”

“Why not?” His brows furrowed.

“Because the only other place I feel at peace is in your arms.”

A grin cracked his stoic face. “Then it’s a good thing you’re stuck with me now.”

“I guess so.” I ground down on him again.

“I feel like I should make this special for you.”

“It is special. Now stop worrying.”

His hands loosened their hold as they ran down my sides before he gripped my hips and helped guide me back and forth once, twice, and on the third time, he slipped inside.

It was only a tiny fraction of how big he was, but my insides were already stretching to accommodate the intrusion. I tried to lower myself until pain sliced through my core.

Slade groaned and started to lick and suck on every inch of skin his lips came into contact with. He didn’t push me down or thrust up. He was waiting for me to make the next move. How had I gotten so lucky to move next door to this man who was so damn perfect? I expected him to be a cocky asshole, but he wasn’t with me. He was hard when I needed him to be and soft the rest of the time. He was my knight in shining armor. The kind of man girls dreamed of when they were little.

I continued to lower myself ever so slowly until I was impossibly full and stretched in the most delicious of ways. It was a strange mix of pain and pleasure I’d never experienced before. I sat there, my body tense until it slowly started to relax in his arms. I could feel his body shaking. The way he was fighting his urges as he waited for my body to accommodate him and start to move.

My hips began to rock, and Slade’s eyes popped open. “Harley, fuck. You’re so damn tight.” He brushed his mouth to mine. “Are you sure you’re okay?”

“Yeah, I’m perfect.”

That was all he needed to hear. Slade rocked his hips up. I wasn’t sure how there was more of me to fill, but he managed it. With his hands on my hips, he helped me slide up and down his length. I thought he’d rush me after the way he’d been fighting himself, but Slade kept the pace I was comfortable setting. I had no idea what I was doing, but as heat started to spread from the tips of my toes wedged in the cool sand up the base of my spine, I knew I’d never get enough of this with him. Especially the way his gorgeous eyes were locked on mine like I was the most precious thing in the world.

“I’m not sure how much longer I’m going to last,” he hissed, his face scrunched in concentration. “I need you to come. Do you think you can?”

I nodded frantically, hoping I would. It wasn’t painful like most girls made it out to be. Yes, there was a pinch of pain in the beginning, but every stroke and touch by the man below me soothed the hurt until all I could feel was bliss.

One hand dipped between our bodies and met my throbbing clit. That was all I needed to send me over the edge. Euphoria shot through me unlike anything I’d ever felt before. I thought my fingers were all I needed to get myself off, but not after today. I knew I’d need every inch of Slade to feel anything close to the way he was making me feel at that moment.

“Slade,” I whimpered and gasped as my body clasped around his, my fingernails digging into his shoulders as I rode my high.

I came down to Slade placing tiny kisses across my collarbone. “Welcome back,” he murmured against my overheated skin.

Wrapping my arms around his neck, I leaned my forehead to his. “Thank you.”

“Why are you thanking me? I should be the one thanking you for giving me something I had no right in taking.” His face clouded over, and he closed his eyes. “I should have prepared you. Instead, I…”

“I’m perfectly fine. I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect first time, and I’m glad it was with you.” Pressing my lips to his, I let him feel how true my words were as I swept my tongue alongside his.

I wasn’t sure how much time passed before we broke apart panting. Slade pressed my body further into his, if that was even possible. “You’re never getting rid of me now.”

“Good, I don’t want to.” I hugged him tighter. “When I was forced to move here, I never thought I’d find happiness, let alone my forever. But you’re it, Slade. I know we’re still young, and I also thought the saying you know when you know was cliche, but it’s true in my case.” I only hoped he felt the same way. “Thank you for saving me even when I didn’t want to be saved.”

“I’ll never stop saving you.”

And he never did.

Slade was my savior from the first moment I met him, and he kept saving me day after day until his last dying breath and then some.
