The soft smile on her face grows and lights up her eyes. Rather than answering me, she slides her leg over me and straddles my lap. Her hands slide around my neck into my hair. “I’m all in, Chase. For once in my life, I’m willing to risk it all to see where this goes. With you.”
Her lips come to mine in a slow, exploratory kiss. Her tongue swipes across my bottom lip and I open, sucking it into my mouth. She tastes like root beer with a hint of mustard.
As the kiss deepens, her hands roam down my back and tugs at my T-shirt. She breaks the kiss to pull it over my head.
“You tryin’ to get me naked?” I tease.
“Yes.” She presses her hand against my chest and pushes me down onto my back. “Tell me you have a condom.”
“Back pocket.” We’ve talked about other forms of birth control, and she has an appointment to see her doctor soon. I can’t wait until she’s on the pill so I can feel her bare. It’s something we both want to share with each other.
We frantically work to rid each other of our clothes. I retrieve the condom and start to rip it open, but she snatches it from my hand. She repositions her naked body over mine and fists my cock. I let out a loud, guttural groan at the feel of her soft hand around my erection.
My hands dip into her hips as I pull her closer to me. I’m desperate to feel her heat slide down my cock and ride me. Thankfully she has the same idea.
She rolls the condom down my length and then lifts up on her knees. With my cock at her entrance, she slowly slides down at an agonizingly painful pace. Her body sliding down on mine—squeezing me—just might be the best feeling in the world.
Once she’s fully seated on top of me, and I’m buried deep, she lifts her hands and pulls her hair back to the base of her neck. The motion causes her back to arch and her chest to lean toward me. Her neck is elongated and every inch of her glorious body is on display for my eyes to feast.
My mouth waters to suck her pebbled nipples between my teeth, and my hand aches to wrap around that pretty neck. But I resist. She’s in charge right now, and I’m not going to take this moment away from her.
Fuck the lake view. This one of her and only her, is so much better. I’ll take watching Lina chase her pleasure over any view in the world.
If I play my cards right, I’ll get to enjoy this view for the rest of my life.
Epilogue
She surprises me every day.
Chase
A few months later …
Knock, knock, knock.
Even though I’m expecting it, the knock on my door causes me to jump and I drop the colander of pasta I just drained. I quickly grab it before I lose it all to the floor.
“Come in!” I call out before I turn back to the stove.
Lina is coming over for one of our stay-in date nights. It’s become our thing. Rather than going out to the bar or hitting up a restaurant out of town, I cook, and we hang out on my bed and watch movies. It’s simple and not all that exciting, but it’s us.
“Hey,” Lina says as she comes up behind me. I lean toward her and give her a quick kiss. “Smells delicious.”
“Thanks. Chicken carbonara. Never made it before, so I hope it’s good.” I glance down at the box in her hand. “What’s that?”
Her smile widens. “I stopped at that bakery close to work and got some of those eclairs you love.”
My head falls back and I press my hand to my heart. “Babe, how did you know I’ve been craving those?”
She chuckles. “Maybe because you’re always craving them.”
“Not as much as I crave you.” I toss her a wink and the smoldering grin that I know will earn me an eye roll. Same as always, she doesn’t disappoint.
“You know,” she places her hands on her hips like she’s about to lecture me, “you’re not as cute as you think you are.”
I dump the pasta into the sauce and give it a quick turn before I take it off the heat and spin to face her. I pull her into my arms and plant an indecent kiss on her lips. She’s caught off guard and lets out a yelp before I swallow down the sound.
Pressing her hips into the counter, I grind my growing erection against her stomach. But it isn’t until I slide my hand up her body and around her glorious neck that she whimpers and melts into me.
