I’ve been nervous to bring this up with her for some reason, but it’s worth a conversation. I’m glad she’s the one to bring it up.

“Did it feel different?” I ask.

She giggles. “Well, in my dream, it was amazing. I woke up so ready for you.”

“I’ve wondered so many times what it would be like to be inside you bare. I’ve never done that.”

“You know I’m on the pill,” she says.

“I know. I didn’t know how you’d feel about ditching the condoms. We haven’t talked about it, and I’m in no rush. I want you to be comfortable.”

“I’ve never done it without one either,” she says, leaning forward to kiss my chest. “I want to with you.”

“Are you sure?” I ask.

“Yes,” she says softly.

We start kissing, and I get lost in her as I always do. Her mouth is like a drug. It’s calming and home, and it’s a fire inside of me that never goes out.

I put the tip in and it’s already a different experience. She was telling the truth, she’s ready for me, and feeling her slick heat surrounding me is sensory overload.

“Oh,” I shudder. “I feel everything.”

“I love this.” Her hand moves to my hip and then my ass as she starts to thrust faster than I’m going. “Faster,” she says.

I go faster and moan.

She does too.

“I’m not going to last long,” I tell her.

I slide out and thrust back in, faster and faster and faster. Her leg opens wider and I put it over my hip, going deeper. The second she starts coming, I let go and spill into her. It feels like it lasts forever but is over before I want it to be.

“That was…so good,” she says breathlessly.

“Sorry about the mess.” I make a face and she grins.

“Worth it,” she says.

She gets up and goes to the bathroom and comes back a few minutes later. I take my turn in the bathroom and when I get back in bed, she turns into me, her head finding its place on my chest. We talked no less than ten times while I was gone, but I still feel like I missed so much.

“I missed you,” I tell her. I probably said that at least ten times too, but every time was true.

“I missed you too. Caleb asked for you a lot too. I thought he might not think it was any different than you going to a long day of training, but he definitely knew this was different.”

“I think you should come to the game next week. Fuck what anyone thinks.”

She sighs and her hands continue tickling my chest. “I’m not ready yet.”

I kiss the top of her head. “The second you are, you’ll let me know?”

“Yes.”

“Okay. I’ll try to be patient. But just so you know, I’m ready to tell the whole world I’m in love with you.”

She kisses my chest and lays her head back down, quiet.

We fall asleep that way.
