“Fuck no,” I groan, kissing the top curve of her breast, then biting. “You’re so far out of my league, Sky.”

She shakes her head and lifts my chin. “I’m not.”

Groaning, I pull her down to kiss me, fisting her lion’s mane hair and devouring her however she’ll let me. Slow, fast, intense, or gentle, kissing Sky is like tasting heaven itself. A glimpse at how good life can truly be.

Sky tugs my shirt off, breaking our kiss. I toss her onto the bed, and she giggles. “Never patient for long.”

“You ruin me,” I growl, kissing across her throat before biting my favorite spot. Her body arches against mine, and I grab a good handful of her ass. “Maybe I should take pictures of you to remember this.”

“Next time,” she offers in a breathy pant that tests my control.

Groaning, I fumble with the top. It’s sexy as fuck, but I have a feeling it will look even better on the floor. She giggles and takes my hands, helping me undo the tiny little clasps that go down the front.

I press my lips to her skin every time more is revealed. When I get the last one, I beam. “Yay.”

She laughs again and sits up to wrap her arms around me. I toss the thing to the side and kiss her until her hair is a mess across my pillow. She gives me another playful nip on the shoulder, then kisses a bruise.

“I’m going to have to leave marks this dark.”

“Please do,” I groan. I jerk her thong and actually rip it, shrug, then finish the job. “And let me show you how crazy you drive me.”

But she keeps kissing bruises across my chest and abdomen, heat sinking deep into me, filling me up until I’m not sure if I’m going to last long enough to make her come. It’s too soft, too tender and sweet. Like she can take away all my pain and fix us with her gentleness, and I’m tempted to believe it.

She licks up my body and claims my mouth again. “I’m yours, Ash. All of me.”

I groan and kiss over her breasts, licking and sucking her nipple until she’s a moaning mess under me. I switch to the other as my fingers slide between her legs. She’s wet and ready for me, just like I hoped. I rub her clit in circles as she pants and drags her nails over my back. Even that threat drives me wild.

Her body rolls against mine, and I push two fingers into her, just like she wants. Her nails dig into my arms as she whimpers. “Yes.”

“You feel so good, baby,” I croon, licking the underside of her breast so she shivers.

My thumb keeps stroking her clit as I curl my fingers inside her. Panting and moaning, she writhes against me as I fuck her hard and fast with my fingers. She comes apart with a hoarse yell and then twitches as I continue moving my fingers inside her.

“I hope you’re ready for me,” I whisper in her ear. “Because making up takes a long time.”

“How long?” She rasps.

“All night … maybe into the morning,” I growl, fingering her again until she gives in while biting my chest hard, muffling the cries leaving her throat.

I pull my fingers free and lick them as she watches, sucking them and savoring the taste of her pussy on my tongue. I reach into my pocket for a condom, but Sky grabs my arm and shakes her head slowly. “Not yet.”

“Okay.” I kiss her softly. “What do you want?”

“I’m ready for the …” She swallows and takes a slow breath. “For you to use your mouth.”

It’s the one thing I’ve told her I want and haven’t gotten in bed. My heart beats three times faster and swells in my chest. I know it makes her nervous, but she’s willing to give it to me now? Trying to stop the thoughts bouncing my head, I force out the important question. “Are you sure?”

“Yes.” She nods. “If you … if you want to.”

I groan and press my face to her throat. “Of course, I want to, baby. I want tonight to be perfect. For you.”

“For us,” she argues.

She spreads her shaking legs, and her hands slides between them, drawing my focus. She flashes her wet pussy for me, showing me everything I can have. My eyes stroke back up her body to take in her wild blue eyes, her raw lips, the blush spreading over her cheeks.

“I’myours, Ashton.” She insists. “All of me. My body … my heart … everything.”

“I love you.” It comes out before I can stop it.
