“Yours.”
“I’m gonna make all your dreams come true, Mills. Just you wait.”
Hayden reaches down between our bodies and thumbs my clit, matching the rhythm of every thrust.
His thrusts reach a crescendo, and he surges into me, filling me with his seed.
Hayden buries his face in my shoulder and roars out a curse as the hot jets of his cum fill me. I bear down, drawing out every last gasp of pleasure from this man.
“I thought I was obsessed with you before,” he says on a shuddering breath. “You’ve hollowed me out, Mills.”
And I don’t let him pull out. He laughs when I hold tight, gripping him close with my tangle of limbs.
“I’m glad you came over,” he says. “Because you’re never leaving.”
We’re both slick with sweat and out of breath. Hayden holds me close as we talk about the next steps.
“But all my things are at my apartment,” I say.
“Not a problem,” Hayden says. “I’ll be going to get the rest of your things tomorrow. You can stay here; you don’t have to deal with that Peter guy anymore.”
“No,” I say, sitting up. Hayden pushes a lock of hair from my face.
“Are you sure?”
“I said before I don’t want to lose myself, and I meant it. I’m not afraid of him. But I will go and talk to him. And I’ll give everyone at the dog park the heads-up that he might be a potential dog stealer.
“Of course,” Hayden says
He dips his head down to kiss my forehead, and the way he toys with my hair nearly puts me to sleep.
“I don’t want to stop doing comedy,” I say.
He draws back, surprised to hear me say this.
“I would never ask you to stop doing anything you want to do.”
I rest my cheek against Hayden’s brawny chest.
“I want to stay who I am.”
Hayden adjusts himself on the bed so he can look into my eyes.
“Do you know why I followed you home from the airport?”
I smile. “Because I’m hot and also nice.”
“Because I could see your sparkle. You have something special about you that made me fall for you right away.”
“Tens of thousands in student debt? Car with crappy air conditioning?”
He laughs. “No. And it had nothing to do with how nice you were to me. It’s just in the air around you. I can’t explain it. I saw you, and we talked for those five seconds. I knew you were the person I was missing in my life. For a long time, I’ve wanted someone to share all the good things in my life with.”
That’s about the best thing anyone has ever said to me.
I smile up at him.
“It’s official. I think I’m ready for the next step in our relationship.”
