“Anyway…” Jacob announces, putting his phone on the tripod facing the beautiful set. “A prom isn’t a prom without proof we were there.”

Giddy with excitement over how the night has taken a sudden turn, the four of us gather together in front of the camera, striking a new pose after each memory-capturing flash. And while we are living in the moment, hearts filled with love and happiness, I can’t help but think this is truly the best night of all of our lives.

Adele’s ‘He Won’t Go’ plays softly in the background as Jacob and I sway gently to the music, my head resting on his chest as he holds me close. I feel his heart gently thudding and close my eyes to the beauty surrounding me to focus on the rhythmic beat.

How can this boy, who I grew up despising, who’d launched all-out war on me, be the one to consume my world to the point where it’s like only he and I exist? There’s comfort in the way he holds me, peace in his touch, and love in his eyes. His face is all I see, the face which lit up when he earned my attention, good or bad, he just loved it when faced with the sound of my laugh or incoming wrath. He worked hard convincing me to fall in love with him. And now that I have, nothing can ever tear us apart. A tear slips down my cheek as he gently sings the chorus, his chest revibrating with each word.

Lenny drove Nessie home, well, dropped her off down the street so she could walk home without being seen with a boy. Now it’s just Jacob and I to have the whole magical rooftop to ourselves. The song changes, and Jacob leads me into a gentle twirl before taking both hands.

“I’ve never seen you look so happy,” he remarks. “You’re glowing.”

“I feel like I am. I don’t know how I got so lucky to have you.”

Jacob bites his bottom lip while smiling and it’s sexy as all hell. “Come on,” he says, leading me behind the draping decorations. When I see what’s before me, my heart stops. Still under the fairy lights and the twinkling stars above, lays a makeshift bed. Makeshift in the sense that it’s a mattress on the rooftop floor covered in lush blankets and cushions.

Once recovered, I gasp at the thought and mastery behind it.

“Jacob, this is incredible.”

Leading me the rest of the way, we lay side by side, lost in each other’s eyes. His eyes twinkle with the lights above, warming his already tanned skin.

“I love you, Rosie,” he says, gently brushing my hair off my cheek.

“I love you, Jacob.”

On my upturned palm, he draws an X with his finger. “I always have.”

Rolling onto my side, I find his hand, taking my time drawing an O. “Together forever.”

“Forever.”

Jacob props himself on his elbow and cups my cheek drawing me into a kiss. It starts tenderly at first before deepening into an all-consuming moment of intense passion. He finds my tongue, and I let him lead because he’s masterful at what he does, and he knows how to ignite the desire within.

I take his shirt to task, unbuttoning it to reveal his smooth, hard chest and perfectly defined abs. My hands are greedy, wanting to touch every inch of skin as his muscles ripple with his natural movements.

Pulling away, Jacob guides me to my knees and turns me around, so I face away from him. Hooking my long hair over one shoulder, his lips trail down my neck, a sensation he knows I love as a delectable shiver travels across my skin.

Like I did with his shirt, Jacob works at removing my dress, sliding the zipper down to just above my ass. He lets the dress fall, exposing my bare breasts. The sound he makes is a mix between a groan and a rumble, and it makes me feel things between my thighs.

My breasts are a decent C-cup, his large hands easily engulfing them.

Spinning me around, we rid our bodies of unwanted fabric and fall back onto the bed. With Jacob on top, I part my legs and let him settle in between, the desire to have him inside me has me caught in a heady spell. Claiming my mouth once more, I raise my hips to meet Jacob’s, feeling him as ready as I am.

“Are you sure, Rosie?” he murmurs against my mouth.

“Beyond ready.”

Keeping his eyes on me, Jacob tears open a foil packet with his teeth and slides on a condom. Nestling further down and spreading me wider apart, Jacob gently moves forward, entering his hardness ever so slightly before thrusting halfway. I wrap my arms around his neck and let him ease inside me, taking it slow in case it hurts. When I nod for the go-ahead, he pushes deeper, my nails digging into his back as I’m overcome with a strange mix of pleasure and pain.

So, this is what I’ve waited so long for?My nipples harden, and my skin flushes, tingling with an intense sensation.

“Jesus, Rosie…” he sighs heavily, closing his eyes as he sinks himself completely in. I smile against his lips, happy he’s already enjoying it as much as me.

Jacob begins his rhythmic thrusts while I wrap my legs around him. Our groans blend together, muffled by our demanding mouths seeking each other out. I’m flushed in the face and panting heavily when Jacob rolls us so he’s underneath, staring up at me riding him from on top. With his hands gripping my hips, he moves me so I’m grinding against him, my long hair hanging over my naked breasts.

Although his eyes are hooded with lust, he still gazes up at me in wonderment. “Rosie Rachel Reign, you are the most beautiful girl I’ve ever laid eyes on. So raw, vulnerable, yet so fierce. I wish I could hang on to this moment forever.”
