“From the moment I saw you in here, this office.”

I groaned as she quickened her hand over my cock. Kissing her all the while, tracing the graceful slope of her neck, I lined myself up to her pussy. She took the head easily, sucking me in with that sexy groan I’d never tire of hearing.

“You really have feelings for me?” I asked.

She craned her neck to look back at me. “Yes, Nate. I do.”

As she reached up to grip the back of my head, I met her in the middle and kissed her soundly. When I slid in further, stretching her slick inner muscles, she parted her lips andgasped. She pushed back toward me, promising more contact between us where we were joined.

“I love you,” she whispered. Her breath whipped against my lips still wet from her kiss.

Love.

It felt like a sucker punch, but not a bad one. She knocked me over with that statement, and I knew, without needing any more explanation, that she meant it.

I felt her love in the tight hold she had on me, her pussy gloving my dick like only I could belong there. I heard her love in the small gasps of wonder she gave me as I slammed in all the way, to the hilt. And I saw the love in the glossy sheen of her eyes as she stared back at me, twisting to maintain this somber stare.

So many emotions passed between us as I held her, as she sheathed me. A world of sentiments could be shared and poetically detailed, but I didn’t need to hear another syllable. Her declaration hit home with me, and I felt like she really was, at last, without a lie, my Christmas miracle. My gift to treasure forever.

And I would.

“I love you too, sweet girl.”

She moaned, pushing her ass toward me as I started to pull out. “You… do?”

I nodded, grinning as I feasted my eyes on her. Pushing at her shoulder blade, I encouraged her to lean down. While the absence of her warm body flush to mine was a loss I didn’t want to suffer, the sight of bending her over my desk was too damn tempting not to indulge.

Just like my dream.

Rachelwasmy dream. I felt it in my soul, and I recognized it in the depth of my heart.

She was it, and it no longer felt silly to have gone out and bought a ring anymore. I thought I’d done itjust in case, fullyaware that I was getting way ahead of myself. This was quick. Things had moved so fast between us.

I’d known her before, then I knew about her when I moved. We’d only shared our lives over this magical December, but it was enough for me to know that this woman loved me and wanted my love.

She wouldn’t reject me like my ex. She wouldn’t ridicule me out of spite.

Rachellovedme.

“You really love me?” she asked between hard breaths.

She splayed her arms out, resting on her forearms as she lay flat on my desk. In the glossy reflection of the windows, the wintery night sky a dark backdrop like a mirror, I watched her. Bent over. Her mouth open in anoof pleasure. Those tits swaying and her nipples rubbing against the surface of my desk.

I moved my hands up her thighs, caressing their slender strength as she stayed wide open to take my pounding.

“I do.” I reached up to gently take hold of her hair, urging her to look up. At us. At the reflection of us together. “I love you, Rachel.”

“What about…” Her eyes were lidded, heavy with desire as she watched me fuck her. “What about that mentorship?”

“I never wanted to.” I grunted at how close I was to coming. It was too soon. It was too hot to handle. “I just wanted a way to stay close to you. To talk to you. To hear you laugh and make you smile.”

She let out another long groan, pushing her ass to me and meeting me thrust for thrust. “Oh, yeah. Just like that.”

I sped up, staring at her reflection. Keeping eye contact like this was sexy as fuck, and I didn’t intend to stop. I moved my hands back down her thighs, picking them up so I could hold them up and out of my way.

“I can’t stand the thought of you with any other man.”

She shook her head, breathing hard and fast as she neared her orgasm. Her walls fluttered, so close to her release. She was so damn close, and I wanted to make her shatter.
