Every part.

Seconds later, he released himself, calling out my name as his pleasure became too much.

And I was right there with him.

Countless minutes passed before either one of us was able to regulate our breathing.Once the initial bliss had faded, Alekescaped into the bathroom, returning a minute later with a warm washcloth.“Spread your legs,” he teased.

“Again?Boy, you can’t get enough of me can you?”

“No, I can’t.However, this time, I simply want to clean you up.Now, spread ‘em.”

Of course I did what he asked, widening my thighs so he could run the cloth over my sensitive skin.Every touch he bestowed upon me was like Heaven, his after-sex ritual no exception.

After he disposed of the material, he crawled back into bed, pulling me to him so he could cuddle with me.Placing his hand on my waist, he pushed himself against me as he kissed my neck.

I decided it was time to address the elephant in the room.“You know the door is not a simple fix.You busted the hell out of the frame when you couldn’t control yourself.”A half-smile lifted my lips.

“I don’t give a shit about the door.I’ll have it replaced before tomorrow evening.Just don’t make it a habit of making me break them down.”He nuzzled closer, his warm breath tickling my ear.“I’ll break down every barrier you have just to reach you.I need to get to you, without fail.”

There was a desperation in his voice which was hard to hear.I wasn’t going anywhere.I wanted to shout it from the rooftops, but only time would prove to him I was his.Always.

I wished there was a way I could make him understand exactly how much I loved being with him. I always felt safe when he was near me.Hell, I knew I was safe out in the world just knowing he was watching out for me.Ironic, isn’t it?The same thought which made me smile caused me to run away from him initially.

I loved the way he had the power to turn me on with a simple smile.I loved the fascination which overwhelmed me when he was near.Even when he was acting jealous and throwing his weight around, I loved to engage him in every way possible.I loved every single aspect of his complicated personality.

I loved…

Him.

I love him.

What the hell am I waiting for?He’d expressed his feelings for me before, but he stopped, not wanting to rush or have me return his affections simply becausehehad.

But I loved him, and it was time he knew.

Turning to face him, I gently stroked his jaw as I prepared to say the three words I knew he wanted to hear.Three words I couldn’t believe I hadn’t said before.

I parted my mouth to speak and a soft sound escaped his lips.His eyes were closed and his breathing was slow.

He was asleep.

Another time then.

Alek

I would never tire of waking up next to Sara.I couldn’t believe my luck; she’d chosen to be with me, especially after everything that happened.But she’d forgiven me and we’d moved on.

As always, one look at her and I was fisting myself, ready to claim her and make her scream out my name.Her body was draped over mine.Her leg grazed against my most sensitive area, and I was praying to God she didn’t jerk around in her sleep.Her long, dark hair fanned all around her, enticing me to twirl it around my fingers.I pictured pulling on it as I was fucking her from behind, anchoring her to me so the only escape she had was when I pushed her toward her orgasm.All of the ways I could defile her filled my head, feeling a little guilty when I looked at her sleeping form again.She looked like an angel.

Too bad. I wanted to be the devil right then.

“Are you going to stare at me all day?” she mumbled, opening one eye so she could look at me.The sweetest smile danced across her lips, and my heart skipped a beat.

“I would if I could.”

She rolled over onto her back and stretched, pushing her glorious tits in the air.She wasn’t playing fair.One movement and I simply couldn’t control myself.
