“I don’t think this conforms to health regulations.” I smile.

Gaige takes the cloth from my hand and throws it across the room. He grabs my ponytail and pulls, tilting my head back. Then he crashes his mouth on mine. I moan into his mouth.

My hands move quickly. I undo his jeans while he removes mine. We are both frenzied, the sexual tension has been building since he arrived. He pulls me forward. Tilting my hips he drives into me.

“Fuck!” We both moan.

“This isn’t going to be slow and sweet beautiful. It's going to be hard, intense, and fucking phenomenal.” Gaige grits.

“Promises, promi…” The word die in my throat when Gaige surges forward.

He grips tightly on my hips and he relentlessly pounds into me. Each time filling me to the hilt. He releases my hip and circles his thumb over my clit.

“Gaige!” I cry.

His hand slides up my body, pushing me to lie down. He pinches my nipple and wraps his hand around my throat, gently squeezing as he continues to slam into me. I don’t feel it coming. My orgasm hits me like a freight train. I buck and my whole body tenses.

“Fuck! Gaige!” I scream.

“Fuck!” Gaige groans.

We are both panting. I’m coming down from the most incredible orgasm I think I’ve ever had. Gaige is leaning over me with his head on my chest. I stroke my fingers through his hair.

“Gaige.” I whisper.

“Yeah beautiful.” He says between trailing kisses across my chest.

“I think I’m falling in love with you.” I say honestly,

Gaige’s body freezes and his head snaps up.

“What?” He asks.

Feeling my cheeks heat and my heart rate pick up.

“No sorry, I don’t mean that. What I meant to say is that I've fallen in love with you Gaige Knox. I’m head over heels in love with you.” I say softly. I'm anxious; he hasn’t said a single word. He just stares ahead, not saying anything or moving.

“Gaige, say something.” I beg.

His eyes come to mine.

“You love me?” He asks.

I nod. I’m scared he’s going to bolt or say he doesn’t feel the same.

“Thank fuck for that.” He sighs.

“What?” I ask, my voice wavering.

He strokes my face.

“Esme, I've loved you for what feels like forever. From the moment I met you I haven’t been able to get you out of my god damn head. You came into my predictable boring life with your fire, your kind heart, and your fucking hot body. I couldn’t handle it. I couldn’t stop myself from loving you even if I tried.” He admits.

My tears fall.

“Well fuck me.” I sob.

Gaige laughs.
