Page 30 of Second Chances

“I’d like that a lot.” Elena nibbles playfully on her lip.

I rummage in the pocket of my jeans and pull out my wallet. Having retrieved a condom from inside, I replace the wallet and drop my jeans onto the floor before using both hands to roll the protective barrier onto my length.

“Once we both get checked and have talked about contraception, we’re doing this without a condom. I hope you realize that.”

Elena laughs.

“Let’s hope I’m not as fertile as your sister-in-law, because James just has to look at her, and she’s pregnant.”

“I don’t know—the thought of you swelling with our child isn’t that unappealing.” I get a vision in my head, and it warms my heart. My own child…it’s not something I ever thought I’d have, because I didn’t believe I’d be capable of loving it.

“Give me a little while yet.” Elena raises an eyebrow, but I ignore her and position my cock at her entrance. I want to take it slowly as I push into her, but she’s too inviting, and I slam in hard. She shouts out as I penetrate her.

“Holy fuck. Full, full, full.”

I manage to stop myself from moving and allow the woman I’m buried deep inside to adjust to me. My breathing is ragged. I’ve never felt anything like this before, the emotion of being with a woman I have feelings for—it’s an alien concept to me. My eyes meet Elena’s, and I lose myself within them. Her chocolate irises drawing me in.

As I pull my hips back, she lays her head down on the pillow and shuts her eyes.

“No.” The word tumbles from my mouth edged with need. “Look at me the entire time.”

She lifts her head back up, and I find myself falling once again into her orbs.

Finding a steady rhythm with my movement in and out, I lower my head to kiss Elena, her eyes focused on me the entire time.

“Are you alright?” she whispers at a barely audible level.

“Never better.”

I reach between us to circle Elena’s clit with my thumb because I know I won’t last long. There’s too much emotion in the room swirling around us, enveloping us in the enormity of what we’re doing. This isn’t just having sex. It’s growing and evolving, helping us to leave both our pasts behind.

“Ryan, please.” Elena presses her lips against mine and whimpers her plea into my mouth. I catch it and answer with my own.

“Show me everything you can be,” I command.

I feel her orgasm hit her when she clamps down like a vice on my cock buried deep inside her. I can’t move, but I don’t need to as my own release catapults its way from my balls and down my shaft in burst after burst of scorching white heat. I can’t breathe. I can’t think. My mind is finally at peace because of the woman I’m now buried inside. My arms give way, and I fall onto Elena, my weight heavy against her slight form. I immediately roll over to the side, holding onto the condom as I withdraw from her.

“I’m sorry,” I apologize. “So sorry,” I repeat as my fear begins to rise again.

“What for?” Elena rolls onto her side, her chest rising up and down rapidly as she tries to catch her breath.

“For being a monster.”

She shakes her head and brings her lips to mine.

“You’re not a monster at all. You’re a savior to so many. Don’t ever doubt that.”

“As long as I have you by my side, I won’t.” I return her kiss.

“So, um.” Elena smirks. “Does this mean we’re boyfriend and girlfriend?”

I shake my head at her need to define what is happening between us. Amy’s just the same. I know the two of them will share everything later in a girly chat full of details.

“Yes, you can tell my sister-in-law you’re my girlfriend.”
