And cute pout. For the love of… How could a man that big have such a cute damn pout?

“Tams, I want you,” he murmured as he ran his big hand over my shoulder and arm. “Like, fuck, do I want you.” He swallowed loudly as he looked over my naked body but then shook himself out of it. “But you’re exhausted and I can feel it. I don’t want to be selfish with you and—what we did is great. I’m happy with it. We can do the rest after a nap or another time or—”

“Stupid bear,” I purred as I gave him a soft kiss. “That’s what healing runes are for.” I gave myself one and moved his hand to my breast. “Some of what you’re sensing is because of what you did to me. So if you’re worried, you say that and ask me if I’m okay. Ask me what I want. That’s what partners do when they respect each other.”

“Tams, you are completely right, but it’s really hard to focus and think when your big perfect breast is in my hand and I’m so fucking hard for you.” He gave me a kiss this time. “Tell me what you want, cream puff. Anything you want. Just tell me.”

I laid back on the bed and smirked up at him. “Fill your puff with cream, stupid bear. If you’re worried about how exhausted I am, then do most of the work and be gentle with me.” I tried to hide what I was really feeling, but he caught it, always paying attention when he wasn’t being an idiot.

He caught my face before I could look away and moved over me. “That sounds perfect, Tams. I even love the goofy line that turns me on when it comes from you.” He gave me a heated kiss. “Spread wide for me. Show me you want me inside of you.”

Done and done.

“You’re so fucking wet,” he groaned, grinding his cock against me so it got all slicked up. “Tell me you’ve been dying for this too. Tell me I’m not the only one who’s been aching for this.”

I nodded, not wanting to say anything and risk this mood.

He moved my leg in between us and slowly pushed in me. He took his time to move deeper and then leaned over so he could kiss me. “I love you, Tamsin Vale.”

I blinked up at him in shock. He’d said that and… My brain just sort of exploded in shock, pleasure, and overwhelm.

He simply smiled. “I love you.” He gently thrust deeper. “Fuck, I’m so fucking in love with you, but I can’t think when you feel this fucking good.” He brushed his lips over mine and thrust again. “Shit, why is this so different than I remember?”

I didn’t know, but I felt it too, moaning loudly and arching into him. We’d done this position before and… I blinked up at him. “It was always so rough, rushed. It wasn’t ever like this.”

He swallowed loudly and nodded, hearing what I meant without saying it.

He’d always fucked my body, not had sex with me or even whatever we were doing now. We were never so in tune with each other like this.

“This is so much better,” he said as he moved his hips. He studied my face. “Or just for me?”

“No!” I cried as I orgasmed, my body going on a ride. He was hitting everything perfect inside of me, and the way he moved while stretching me so wide in that angle was just… Fuck was it good.

“I don’t think you’ve ever come like that for me during sex,” he whispered as he worked me through my orgasm. He moved his thumb to my lips and traced them. “Because it’s not just sex this time. It’s more.”

It was. I swallowed loudly.

Yeah, it really was.

He worked his hips like a fucking champion in a way that drove me nuts. It was slow and controlled and with a rhythm that—fuck, it was so fucking good. I kept coming, the bedding under me getting soaked.

“Just when I didn’t think you could get any sexier, you prove me wrong,” he grunted as he got close. “This is—nothing is better than making love to you, cream puff. Can you keep going?”

I nodded, but then I realized what he was really asking me. “I think my body’s tapped out.”

He nodded. “I think I need a bit faster to finish. Is that okay?”

“Yeah, that’s still gentle,” I promised, getting what he was worried about.

He didn’t go crazy or plow me, simply picked up the pace a bit. He looked ready to explode and then we did together.

When it was over, I was lying on him with his cock still inside of me and the covers over both of us. His heart was racing under me and mine was going just as crazy.

“I didn’t know it could be like that,” he panted as he rubbed my back. “Seriously, I didn’t know. I thought what we had was so amazing and—I used to think if I did it better or gave you more that you’d react like you did with Hudson and go so wild. I used to get jealous that you would orgasm more for him and craved him. I really didn’t get how much I was doing wrong.”

I kissed his chest. “I forgive you for that one. I can’t imagine how hard it is for you guys that I have multiple mates. I would be crazy jealous.” I turned to look up at him, smiling when he moved a pillow under his head so he could see me better. “But you guys are all so different to me. What Julian gives me, Hudson can’t. Same with Darby.

“You’re all just different. I don’t want another Hudson, Lucca.” I snorted. “If you don’t think this was just as satisfying as what he and I do, then you really are the stupidest bear ever. And I love that we have this together.”
