“Oh,” she bites her lip.

Where her thoughts went is a testament to how much she thinks about it. I want her so lost in me that there’s no room for any other thoughts in her pretty little mind.

“New plan.” I crawl on top of her, scooping up wax from the candle as I go.

I smear it over the letters I wrote on her. Then with one finger, I write the word “lovable” in the melted wax on her torso.

“There.Lovable. Tonight, I plan on showing you how lovable every inch of you is.”

I press my body into hers and warm, slick wax melts between us. I hope her worries also melt away.

Bracing myself above her, I look into her big brown eyes.

“Listen. I’ll keep you safe. Tonight, it’s you and me. No one else. Simon won’t cry and interrupt us. Nothing can stop us from being as loud and as horny as we want to be out here. This is our little escape. Tonight, no one is after you. No one needs you but me. Nothing can take my focus off of you, wife.”

“You need me?” She asks quietly, her eyes bouncing back and forth as she searches mine.

“Abso-fucking-lutely.” I think it’s more vulnerable than saying “I love you.” I need Pepper, and I’m not afraid to admit it.

“I need you, wife. No one connects with me like you.” Icup her jaw, loving the feeling of her naked body under me.

The moonlight reflects the tears shining in her eyes, and I can feel her chest and stomach taking turns rising and caving in as she fights off tears.

“Sorry. I don’t know why I’m emotional,” she dismisses.

“Don’t apologize. Cry for me, princess. I’m here for you.”

Maybe she’s never had anyone tell her they need her, and that’s a damn shame. She’s like a brave warrior princess, fighting to make her way through every obstacle she faces. And I feel like a king, because she lets me see her tears. She’s willing to let her walls down with me.

I abandon the idea of fucking her on this boat. She needs to be cared for in a different way, and I prepare myself to do that. Not gonna lie, my dick is completely disappointed.

Wrapping a hand around the back of her head, I pull her forehead to my chest while she cries.

“No. No. I want to have sex with you.” She pulls back and looks at me.

“We don’t have to.”

“I want to. I need to have you inside of me,” she whispers.

Well, hot damn.

“After you finish crying?” I clarify.

“Before. Your cock will make me feel better.” She gives me a sweet grin while a stray tear snakes down her cheek. “Do me now, husband.”

Fuck, yes. This woman is a freaking dream come to life.

“Your wish is my command,chaton.” I kiss the tear offher cheek. “On one condition: scream for me when you come. We don’t have to worry about waking anyone up.”

“Deal,” she nods.

I’m about to slide my dick inside her when I remember her unorthodox birth control. “Hold up. I’ve got to put the sperm killer in first.”

She giggles. “Spermicide.”

“Same thing,” I smirk, shaking the can before loading up the plastic applicator with white foam.

“You want to do the honors or should I?” I ask, holding it out to her.
