I tossed the wrapper across the room. “I’m clean too.”

She crooked her finger at me.

When I moved between her legs again, her arms came around me, her fingers brushing over the muscles of my back. “I trust you, and I want to feel all of you.”

She arched so that my cock nestled into her folds.

It felt like coming home. Like this is what we were always meant to do. The tip eased inside, surprising both of us, and we stilled.

“There’s no going back.” Our friendship could be in jeopardy, but I couldn’t bring myself to care. But if she did, I’d stop. I’d do whatever she wanted me to do.

She gripped my ass and pulled me into her. “This is what I want.”

“Fuck. You’re like heaven.” I don’t think I’d ever felt that way before. There was no better word for the sensation of being inside Sutton. My best friend. My lover. My wife.

“Sex with my husband feels so much better than anything else.”

I cocked a brow, stilling inside her, even though every muscle in my body strained to keep moving. “Is that the reason, or is it me?”

She bit her lip, then said, “It’s you.”

I braced my hands on either side of her, using my hips to move in and out. Her walls gripped me like a vice. Her heat encased me. I never wanted this to end. But the tingle started at the base of my spine and threatened to overcome my restraint.

I was barely holding on. I reached down to touch her clit, and she jerked underneath me, crying out.

“That’s it, baby. Let go.”

I lowered my forehead to hers as I let the orgasm rush through me. I thrust deep. I closed my eyes against the realization that I’d slept with my best friend, and she’d wanted me as much as I wanted her.

It was like every moment in our lives led to this one. My chest filled with emotion I couldn’t describe and I wouldn’t share with Sutton. Not yet.

“That was—” Her hand brushed down my back.

“Amazing. Earth shattering.” I eased to the side so I wouldn’t crush her, my body still pressed against hers.

“More than I expected. You’d think sleeping with your best friend would be a letdown.” Sutton’s eyes were filled with awe.

I kissed her shoulder. “Not when you have chemistry like we do.”

“I didn’t know.” She looked almost pained by her admission.

I’d always hoped. “And now we do.”

“I’d ask where we go from here. But we’re already married.” She laughed softly.

“We take it one day at a time.” I wasn’t going to push any of my thoughts and hopes onto her. She needed to figure things out in her own time.

When Sutton went to the bathroom, I lifted the silver cover on the tray I’d asked to be delivered to the room earlier.

I set it aside to fill the wine glasses with a dessert wine when the bathroom door opened.

Sutton came out, her hair around her shoulders, still naked and looking more delicious than the food I’d ordered. “Chocolate-covered strawberries?”

“I thought you might want dessert?” I bit into the end of one, savoring the sweetness of the chocolate as she moved toward me, her eyes filled with undisguised lust.

Her hand encircled the base of my cock at the same time I lowered the strawberry for her to get a taste.

“Delicious,” she said as she lowered to her knees, fisting my cock before licking the head.
