When I wake up in the morning, the bed is empty. Glancing over at the clock on her nightstand, I realize it’s almost eight. Shit! I can’t remember the last morning I slept this late or the last night I found rest that deep. I find my briefs from the floor and pull them up my legs, then go in search of the woman who is quickly burying herself into my heart.

“Good morning.” She turns to face me, wearing nothing but my t-shirt as she stands at the stove, the smell of bacon hitting my senses.

“Damn. This cliché is better than I imagined.”

“What? Me wearing your t-shirt the morning after we had sex?”

“Yeah. I… I’ve never experienced that before,” I admit, realizing this is the first time I actually stayed the night at a woman’s place after sex. The reality hits me hard as I see it do the same on Piper’s face.

“Cash…” She starts before reaching behind her to turn off the burner on the stove.

“No, let me get this out,” I say as I walk across the kitchen to her, gripping her hips and lifting her on the counter so I can step in between her legs. “I’m experiencing a lot of firsts with you, Piper—and it terrifies me, but not in a way that makes me want to run. No, it terrifies me because it’s a feeling I didn’t know I was missing.”

“Cash, you’re making me feel things too, things I never even felt with a man I was supposed to marry,” she sighs before looking back up at me. “I feel like I’m living this brand new life with you…” she trails off, halting her thought completely. And I can’t help but feel she means something else by that.

“This is brand new territory for me, sweetheart. But fuck, I can’t fight it. You do things to me, Piper… make me want things. Hell, Birdie is giddy like a schoolgirl about the fact that I’m actually dating someone,” I chuckle, making Piper reciprocate.

“She did seem rather thrilled to see me, even if I won the game.”

“I was the only one whose ego was bruised by that, babe, trust me.”

“So are we officially dating then, Cash?”

Gulping hard, I immediately decide to jump in with both feet. “Yes. If you’re alright with claiming me. I have a past, Piper. You know that, but I promise, you are the only woman I want now.”

A smile slowly spreads across her face. “We all have pasts, Cash. I think I can handle it, as long as I know you’re devoted to me. I’m scared, I won’t lie. There are so many things that can go wrong…”

“Let’s just see where things go, okay? Relieve some of the pressure and enjoy each other. I know for a fact, I want to enjoy you at least two more times before I have to leave to get ready for work.” Nuzzling my nose against her neck now, I feel Piper writhe in my hands as she grinds against my erection already raring to go.

“Two times? Then we’d better get busy,” she teases and then presses her lips to mine, kissing me with the same level of desire I felt from her last night. As I stand there between her legs and make love to her mouth with my own, I realize I just took a huge leap towards something I never thought I’d ever want—and then some of those doubts about my parents and how poisonous their relationship was hits me hard.

But Piper and I are nothing like my parents, a detail I hope will be enough to remind me that anything worth having in life is worth the bit of fear you feel while pursuing it. And then a memory from a conversation with Birdie from years ago enters my mind—"One day, the right woman will knock you off your feet, crash into your world you think is perfect, and then all the things you thought you knew about love will be thrown out the window.” I’m definitely not anywhere near uttering the wordlove, but I can admit that Piper has knocked me off my feet and is making me question everything—and I’m not as scared as I thought I would be.

Pushing Birdie and my doubts out of my mind, I refocus back on the beautiful woman in my arms that’s offering herself up to me. Lifting her from the counter, I carry her back to bed, throwing her on the mattress as she giggles with every bounce.

“Don’t start laughing again, Piper,” I chastise her as I reach down and find my wallet again, fetching another condom.

“How am I not supposed to laugh when you’re tossing me around like a rag doll?”

“Well, I’m about to do things to you that aren’t going to make you laugh, sweetheart. But if you feel like screaming, I’m perfectly alright with that.”

“Don’t make promises you can’t keep,” she smirks.

“Are you really doubting my abilities right now? After you came how many times last night?” I cup my hand around my ear, sarcastically waiting for her answer.

“Okay, you’re right. Now show me what else you’ve got, Deputy,” she purrs, ripping my shirt over her head, revealing her entirely naked body to me in one move.

I push my briefs down my legs, freeing my hard-as-stone cock to her, running my hand up and down a few times as I feel that twinge already start to form deep in my spine. Piper crawls across the bed to where I’m standing and then reaches for my length, pumping me in her hand before bending down and taking me in her mouth. And fuck, I almost black out. I’ve been on the receiving end of many blowjobs in my life, but none of them were ever from this woman—not just some random woman I met in a bar, but one that has clawed her way into my mind and chest.

She swirls her tongue around the head, licking and sucking me before desperately trying to take all of me to the back of her throat. But she gags and then pulls away, embarrassed.

“I’m sorry. I’m not very good at this… I…” she shies away from me. “I was trying to be sexy, but I failed miserably.”

Reaching for her on instinct, I direct her face back to me, but she’s still avoiding my eyes. “Piper, look at me.” Her blue orbs pop up and she looks like she’s about to cry. “There is absolutely nothing fucking wrong with what you just did. It was sexy as fuck. My cock is big and thick, sweetheart. It’s a mouthful for anyone,” I wink as she rolls her eyes. “What you did felt so good, I was about to stop you anyway so I didn’t come in your mouth. I want to someday, if that’s what you want. But you don’t have to take all of me in to make me feel good, baby. Just seeing your lips wrapped around me and feeling your velvety tongue against my dick—it was fucking mind-blowing, okay?”

It’s instances like these when I remember how inexperienced she is compared to me, and I hate it—because I wish I could have been the man to show her how incredible sex can be. And I wish that she’s the only person I could have experienced it with. Although, everyone that came before her has lead me here and is allowing me to appreciate her more because of it. And she may not have been my first, but she is the first woman to make me feelmoreduring sex, which I find equally as special.

“Okay. If you say so. Let me try again,” she reaches for me and takes me back in her mouth. And this time, I caress her face as she pleasures me, staring down into those big blue eyes in one of the most intimate moments of my life. This woman has her mouth around my cock, and I’ve never found her more beautiful.God, I’m fucked up.
