“Again,” I demand, tightening my grip. “Louder.”

“I’m yours!” she cries, her body bucking as she teeters on the edge. My hand is blocking her airways, and fuck does it look hot watching her with my hand like a collar around her neck in the mirror while she stares right back at me.

I can feel her getting close. Her walls are fluttering around me, her body tensing and arching, seeking that final push that will send her over the edge.

“Come for me, baby. Let me feel you tighten around my cock.”

Her head falls back against my shoulder, her breath coming in short, sharp gasps. I reach between us, rubbing her swollen clit in time with my thrusts.

“That’s it, princess. Let go. Scream my name.”

Her cry echoes through the abandoned house as her pussy clamps down on me, milking my cock with powerful contractions. I thrust into her a few more times, riding out her orgasm before my own release slams into me.

I roar as I explode inside her, biting down on her shoulder to muffle my cries. My body shudders with aftershocks as I spill myself into her, marking her as mine in the most primal way possible.

Slowly, I recover my senses, letting out a contented sigh as I pull out of her and force her to face me, resting my forehead against hers. My arms wrap tightly around her, anchoring us together, unwilling to let her go. I can feel her heart pounding against my chest, her breath still a little ragged as she recovers from the intensity of her climax.

“I love you,” I murmur, nuzzling her hair. “So damn much, princess.”

She meets my eyes, her expression soft. “I love you too, Lars. More than anything in this world.”

Her words send a rush of warmth through me, and I smile, my thumb gently caressing her cheek. “You’ve got no idea how long I’ve wanted to hear you say that.” It’s the first time she’s openly told me she loves me, even though I’ve felt it for a while.

She kisses me softly, her lips brushing mine in a tender gesture contrasting sharply with our earlier passion. Pulling away, she regards me shyly, her eyes sparkling with love and desire.

“Really? How long?”

I chuckle, tugging her closer. “Long enough. I thought you’d never come around.”

She lays her head on my chest, a contented sigh escaping her lips. “I wanted to be sure you were in this for the long haul. Plus, it was fun making you guess.”

“Oh, it was, was it?” I tease, kissing the top of her head. “Well, now that you’ve said it, I guess I’ll have to keep you around.”

She laughs, punching my shoulder playfully. “Glad to hear it. Where would you find another girl crazy enough to stick by your side?”

I contemplate this, a serious expression on my face. “You’re right. There’s definitely no one else like you.”

“Oh?” She lifts her head, a teasing glint in her eye. “And what makes me so special?”

I consider her momentarily, my eyes roaming over her beautiful face. “Well, for one, you’re the only person I’ve ever met who can drive me absolutely insane and still make me love you for it.” I pause, my thumb brushing her jaw. “Also, you’re the only one who knows my real name.”

Her lips curve in a smile, and she goes onto her tiptoes to kiss me softly. “That’s true. It’s not every day you meet a Larson. Especially one as irresistible as you.”

I hate my full name, Larson. Ever since I can remember, I’ve been Lars. But I told her because I want her to know everything about me.

I mock scowl at her, but my heart swells with happiness. “You’d better believe it, princess. There’s no escape now. You’re stuck with me.”

She snuggles closer, her head resting on my chest. “Good. Because I’ve got no intention of letting you go.”

I smile, bringing my hand up to tangle in her hair. “And I’ve got no intention of letting you go either.”

We stay like that for a while, content in each other’s embrace, the world feeling right for the first time in a long time. Whatever challenges lay ahead, we’ll face them together. As long as we have each other, we can weather any storm.
