My hands grab her waist and squeeze as I pull her on top of my growing hard-on. She moans at the feel of me between her legs.

She grinds down without me prompting her, and I’m beyond delighted that this sexy-as-fuck woman is showing me what she wants. This is the first time I’ve gotten to hold Lexi and know that I’ve done all the groundwork to make this time last.

When we’re lying in bed together in the morning, there won’t be excuses to make any more about why we can’t be together. I’ve proven I can keep my hands to myself. I’ve bought her childhood dream house that she wants to have “our” first baby in. I’ve bought the ring and gotten the entire family on board. She has nothing left to fight me on. And better than that, she doesn’t want to.

After tonight, Lexi Benson is mine.

I grab ahold of her and roll on top of her. I can tell by the way her eyes widen that it takes her by surprise.

I take her hands in mine and lace them together, pinning them above her head. My erection rubs into that sweet spot my dick wants to call home. The spot she was working so well half a second ago. She moans at the movement, and I know she’s already wet for me. I can smell her arousal.

It’s the smell of her that has infiltrated my memories all these years. And when it does, I’ve had no other choice but to take myself in hand to curb the desperate need for her.

The image is tattooed in my mind of driving home inside of her at the lake house, remembering the sound of her whimper at my size in Los Angles, at the ways I make it good for her every time.

Each time, I’ve come hard at the memory of the way her pussy squeezed me when she came on my dick, when she came on my fingers, and when she came on my tongue.

It’s been too long since I’ve had her, and the celibacy control I’ve practiced since the day of the accident in New Orleans is wearing thin. I haven’t touched a woman since that night. I refused to unless it was Lexi.

But tonight, I don’t have to use those memories because she’s in my hands. Hot and needing me as bad as I need her.

“Lexi…” I say as I glide my erection between her legs. She’s still wearing a pair of long, thin pajama bottoms, but I can feel the damp heat of her radiating through them.

She moans again and her eyes flutter closed.

“I love the way you sound when you want me.”

“Tucker…” she whispers “I love…” My throat tightens even though she hasn’t fully said it, but she doesn’t finish her sentence.

“What do you love?”

“I…I love…”

“Yeah?” I encourage as I grind harder and slower.

“…how good you feel.” That wasn’t it. I know that fucking wasn’t it.

She’s trying to hold firm and not let me break down the walls she built to keep me out. But I’ve been watching those walls crack since we started spending time redesigning the house. They’re about ready to crumble. They just need another push.

I still have her arms pinned above her head as I lean in and whisper in her ear.

“Say it, Lexi.”

She shakes her head. “No.”

So, I push my throbbing cock against her tender pussy again. She lets out a sob like I’m torturing her. But in truth, she’s the one torturing me.

“Baby…”

I kiss her neck softly, receiving low sounds of approval from Lexi each time.

She’s denied me so many times before, I don’t think I can utter those words and walk away a whole man if she denies me again after I’ve said them. If that makes me weak, well it doesn’t surprise me when it comes to her.

“I bought that house for you. You have to have already know that. That future you picture… I want it with you.” I go in again this time sucking full force on her neck and pressing my cock hard against her warm middle with enough pressure we might both come without penetration.

She whimpers and I see a tear peek through her lashes. She opens her eyes to look at me. I release her hands as I wipe away her tear.

“You’re the only woman I’ve ever seen a future with, Lexi. The only woman I’ve ever loved. I’m not leaving town this time until I get confirmation that your mine. Say it.” I demand as I watch her face change to my confession.
