“You waited for me all this time.”

“Always.”

“You’re ready for me to fuck you bare,” he went on. “You’ll let me cum inside of you. Fill you with it.”

Fill you with it.

I couldn’t speak. All I could do was nod as that filthy thought melted onto my skin.

“I’m done with my contract,” he continued. He leaned over me as he spoke, elevated on his hands. At this angle, his hair hung over his forehead. I reached up and brushed it back. “No more rules for us to follow.”

“We never followed the rules,” I reminded him.

“Fuck no.” He kissed me. “But I loved breaking them with you.”

“So what will you do with me tonight?”

He smirked. “I have so many ideas. Like fucking you into the mattress, to start. Making you come so hard that you lose your voice with my name in your throat. Maybe we put a few other things in that throat, actually.”

I pulled him down and wrapped my arms around his neck, letting our bare chests touch. His pectorals brushed against my nipples, which were hard and wet from his mouth. Anticipation surged in me. We had been apart for so long—longer than I would ever allow again. In that time, my mind had run wild with everything I wanted to do with him on this night.

Marcus placed his hands on my thighs and began to work my skirt upwards. Finally. I didn’t want clothing between us—or anything for that matter.

He made sweet sounds and soft groans as he revealed my body. Those sounds lifted me a thousand feet beyond the atmosphere. He was marveling at me. After all this time, he was still amazed by me.

Feeling admired and feeling bold, I put my lips near his ear. “I want you in my ass,” I told him.

His hands were still on my thighs as he drew his face away from mine. He was watching me, one eyebrow raised and his expression illegible. After a moment, his mouth curled into a soft smile. “Really?”

I nodded, which drew a bigger smile from him. In that moment, I was struck with that familiar wave of affection I so often felt when his earnestness came to light. Sweet Marcus. My Marcus.

“I’ve never done that,” he commented. “I don’t know where to start.”

“That’s not a problem.” I leaned up to give him a quick kiss on the lips.

That quick kiss turned into a much deeper one though. His hands stroked over my ass, each one gripping a cheek as histongue probed through my lips to massage against my own tongue. There was a renewed urgency in his motions—like our unspoken plan to take it slow had gone back to the drawing board. Tonight would be efficient. And rough. And intimate.

And wonderful.

He removed the rest of my clothing and his, and he rejoined me on the bed. After another few minutes of kissing like our lives depended on it, I rolled out of his grasp and snuggled my back against his front. Our naked bodies aligned together. Where my knees bent, so did his. He encircled me in his arms and held me close. Pointedly, I wiggled my ass against his bare cock. He took the hint.

“What do I…” he trailed off as he rested his hand against my stomach. Slowly, he ran it up and down my body, making me practically melt against him. I was sliding into a blissful state of calm anticipation. When he lifted his hand up to my mouth, I didn’t hesitate to draw his middle and index fingers between my lips.

I sucked on his fingers, glancing over my shoulders as I did it. When we made eye contact, he let out a moan that resonated through the deepest part of me. “That looks amazing,” he murmured. His voice was soft and doting.

Marcus leaned forward and rested his lips on the sensitive spot on the column of my neck. “You’re so lovely.”

Another kiss.

“I’ve waited so long to be with you,” he continued.

Another kiss. Gently, he pulled his fingers out of my mouth.

“I was thinking about you last night. I was so close to getting in a car to come see you.”

His hand moved along the globe of my ass, until it settled on the spot where my cheek met my thigh. It danced in that soft line, tracing the edge of my curves.

“I was so desperate for you that I asked myself, ‘What the hell is this woman doing to me?’ And then I realized I finally had the one thing I had wanted for ten years. For so goddamn long.” He shook his head. “You have no idea how happy you make me. You have no idea how much I need you to feel complete.”
