“I don’t think I’ll ever tire of hearing those words come out of your mouth,” she says against my neck, dragging her lips up my jaw before kissing me deeply. I stand up with her wrapped around me and head toward my room. Hastily stripping off our clothes on our way. My body physically aching to be with her…right now. As if my soul is anxiously awaiting to connect to its counterpart.

This right here…

These feelings coursing through me.

It’s better than I ever imagined.

I don’t know if I ever truly made love before. But that’s exactly what this is, and now I know she feels it too.

She loves me… This beautiful, smart, amazing woman loves me.

Lifting her leg to wrap around me, I slide into her. Ava’s back arches with every thrust of my hips. Her soft moans are like the sweetest melody… A new soundtrack to add to my playlist.

I can feel her heartbeat where our bodies are connected, and I place my hand over it. Cherishing it, because it’s mine…she is mine and I am hers.

The possessiveness that overtakes me at that acknowledgment has me thrusting deep inside of her. Filling every inch of her repeatedly.

“Please don’t stop,” she pleads.

Ava’s hair has fallen across her face, blocking my favorite view. My hand reaches up and gently pushes the strands away. While cupping her cheek with my palm, her hazel eyes lock onto mine, conveying the words I feel with every fiber of my being.

Leaning down, I kiss her deeply. Needing to be connected to her in every way possible. She opens instantly and our tongues tangle, stroking softly against one another.

I feel her body tense below me, and I know my girl is almost there.

“Let go, baby… I'll be here to catch you.”

A stream of unintelligible words flies from her lips as she comes around me.

“That’s it… Fuck, you’re so beautiful,” I croon when her eyes lock onto mine in pure ecstasy. My mouth sealing with hers, I swallow every moan.

My thrusts become erratic, and I know I'm about to come, but I want to make this last. To savor every moment.

Her hands reach for my hair, threading into the long strands as she pants through her aftershocks.

“Please come inside me,” she begs, and I'm a goner. Unable to withhold my release any longer.

The way we tangle in each other as we fall onto my bed is pure bliss. Our labored breaths return to normal as we lie together. My hand slowly strokes the soft skin of her shoulder, and her head rests on my tattooed chest.

“Thank you for loving me,” I whisper into her hair before placing a kiss on top of her head.

“How could I not?” she replies, nuzzling closer.

“I didn’t make it easy, I'm sure.”

“You’re worth it… Now you’re stuck with me.” She grins as she peers up at me, and I smile like a love-sick fool right back.

This… this right here, is exactly where I'm meant to be. All the pain and strife I’ve felt in my life has led me right here… To her.

“Okay, okay…can you please tell me now,” Ava pleads while taking a bite of her pizza.

“Is the suspense killing you?” I tease, bopping her on the nose.

“Uh duh!” she says like the little brat she is, and I can't help but laugh.

“Well…I know you're anxiously trying to figure out what your next project will be…”

She sits up a little taller at my prolonged answer.
