They both breathed heavily. “Fuck, Ivy Sunday, I’ve missed you. Missed the way your pussy milks me. Tell me what you want.”

She gasped when he reached between them and dragged a finger over her throbbing clit.

“Fuck, baby, that’s it, tighten around my dick, naughty girl. Tell me what you want from me. I want to hear it from those beautiful lips,” he grunted, his fingers tightening in her hair.

“Make me,ohhh....”

“You know I will and you know I’m going to feed your juicy pussy all my hot seed.”

“Yes!”

Aspen thrusted harder, his hands coming around my hips possessively. She no longer had any control over the rhythm. It was all him as he drove every thick, throbbing inch of his cock into her. He didn’t just fuck her, he made love and the way he commanded her body had every muscle in her body waiting on his orders.

They gazes locked.

Holding onto him she could see the love, the passion in his eyes and she felt it deep inside her as well. Every muscle in her body clenched and she could feel the start of her orgasm building. Inside her, Aspen grew impossibly thicker, stretching her velvety walls around him and she knew he was close too.

He thrust harder, grinding into her clit.

She threw her head back and he was right there to hold her, keep her safe as she lost herself to the power of her climax. It rolled through her with the force of a raging storm. On the cusp of her release, Aspen found his. Hot ropes of cum spilled into her pussy, coating her walls and she milked him greedily with slow rocking motions of her hips until they had nothing left to give each other.

Panting and shaking she didn’t want to move much less feel the loss of him. Tipping her head up, he claimed her mouth with a possessive kiss, stealing her breath away. His tongue swept across her lips and she opened for him.

For several moments they lost themselves to each other’s taste and heat. Wrapped in one another she loved the idea of her thighs growing sticky with their shared release.

“You’ve made a mess of me,” she teased, resting her forehead against his.

He cupped her face. “I’m going to love seeing you walk the town square among all those men knowing you’re marked with my seed.” His husky admission made her pulse spike as if it wasn’t already hitting warp speed.

She slid from his lap, his spent cock pulling from her.

There’s one thing she learned tonight. You couldn’t fight fire with fire. It burned everybody. Someone had to give. Every damn part of her knew what to do next but change was hard. But maybe notthathard. Not when she had Aspen.

They made quick work of straightening their clothes as they reached city limits. Not a soul was on the road. Soft pools of light from the spaced out street lamps caught the gold flicker in his eyes as he considered her.

“You look good freshly fucked with a glow of happiness. When I get you home, I’m going to make you cum again.” He leaned over. “And again.”

He hugged her to him and she slid her arm around his chest. She wasted so many days, months and years thinking being tied down to a small-town man and a small town was a bad thing. When in reality she’d never felt better than she did at that very moment.

“Are you still leaving?”

His question was quiet but held the power of a nuclear bomb.

Since they were baring their souls, she opted to put her thoughts into words. “I don’t know, Aspen. There’s still so much in the air. I have a life back in Seattle, and now New York with the job. Or at least I thought I did. Being here and not getting one call from a friend to check in on me or see if I need anything has kind of made me rethink things. Our time together has also shed a lot of light on my mistakes. Taking care of Gran’s B&B, the guests. I forgot how much I love this place. And on the flip side, I have a business to take care of even if I’ve lost a little of the passion I once had for it.” Voicing that last thought was a revelation even for her. “I didn’t realize all that until just now. What does the future hold for me? My plan didn’t exactly work out, you know.”

“So make a new one. Change isn’t so bad, Ivy Sunday.”

“Not when I have you,” she offered with a smile.

Before he could deliver on the kiss he leaned in for, a flock of children ran their way. She’d been so engrossed in their conversation she forgot to take in the beautiful decorations the town had strung up for the special occasion.

Giggle boxes bounded across the now empty streets and ran straight for them.

In the last moment alone, he placed his lips close to her ear and whispered, “I love you.”

Her heart stopped. Would she ever get used to hearing those words from him again? Would they ever stop making her lose her breath?

As they came to a slow stop, their horse received copious amounts of pets and hugs from the girls while the boys all wanted Aspen’s attention. “It looks like we’ve arrived and none too early.” She laughed as the youngest of the Howard kids took Aspen’s hand and pulled him from the sleigh.
