“We can, baby. I just needed to get my head out of my ass, and this trip has made me do that—made me see what’s been right in front of me all this time. Not just you—I’ve always seenyou, sugar—but now I can seeus.”
She sighed as she snuggled into his embrace, breathing in his scent.
Paul.
Love.
They had time now, all the time in the world if they loved each other, if they were both finally facing that fact. It was too wonderful, too astounding, to try to figure it all out now. She simply wanted to be with him, to feel his big, warm body against hers. To love him. To let him love her.
Paul lowered his mouth to hers, his lips soft as he parted hers with his tongue, gently pushing inside. His kiss was sweet, beautifully tender, making her heart ache.
He deepened the kiss and her body came alive with wanting, her sex going wet as he pushed her down onto the rumpled sleeping bags, covering her body with his.
“I need you, Jess. So damn badly.”
“Yes, I needyou. Now. Please.”
He paused to roll a condom on, then settled between her thighs. She wrapped her legs around his waist, pulling him in, and he watched her face closely, intently, as he held himself just outside of her body, the tip of his cock resting at the entrance to her sex. His eyes were that stunning, turquoise blue, his familiar face so beautiful to her. Finally, he pushed into her all at once, and her body grasped his flesh, holding on, pleasure like a wave of pure, startling liquid heat rolling over her skin.
“I love you, Jess. Love you so much, baby. I don’t know why we waited.”
He thrust once, until his cock was buried deep inside her body, and she cried out, wrapping her arms around his neck and holding on tight.
“Just love me, Paul.”
“Always, Jess. I’m done being stupid. I promise, my beautiful girl.”
He began to move then, a gentle thrusting motion that sent desire spiraling into her system, into her mind, her heart. She wanted nothing more than this, nothing more thanhim.
And as they came together, their bodies merging in heat and love and pleasure almost too intense to bear, she knew she needed nothing butthis. Paul. For them to be together, finally. To be allowed to love him. To know he loved her back. To revel in the sensations in her body, her mind, and most importantly, her heart.
She was in love with Paul, and now she knew he was in love with her, and her heart was singing, wanting to burst from her chest. He’d been her best friend, and he still would be. Her best friend with benefits, which almost made her laugh because the benefits included being loved, being cherished in a way she’d never felt before. But the laughter bubbling in her chest was more than amusement—it was pure joy.
“Love you, Paul.”
“Love you, my baby. Always.”
She knew it was true. And nothing had ever felt better. Nothing would. Because nothing felt better than being truly loved.
