A shiver runs through her body, and I feel a surge of masculine pride knowing I can affect her this way. Slowly, I trail kisses down her neck, savoring the soft sigh that escapes her lips.

Skylar's hands come up to tangle in my hair, urging me closer. "Grayson," she breathes, my name a prayer on her lips.

I capture her mouth in a deep, passionate kiss, pouring all my love and desire into it. Skylar responds eagerly, her body melting against mine as if we were made to fit together.

We stumble towards the bedroom, shedding clothes along the way. By the time we tumble onto the bed, we're both breathless with want.

I take my time exploring Skylar's body, mapping every curve and plane with my hands and mouth. I want to memorize every inch of her; to show her just how much she means to me.

“Wet,” I rumble as I run my fingers through her folds. “Absolutely soaked.”

“Hmmm,” she groans as I push a finger into her hot, wet pussy.

“That’s it, Sky, fuck yourself,” I tell her as she grinds against me.

There’s nothing better than watching her pleasure rise.

“Sky, baby, come for me,” I growl, my cock thick and leaking precum from the tip.

“Please,” she begs me, as her breath hitches. “Yes, Gray,” she cries out as I push yet another digit inside of her. “There, just there,” she pleads, her movements frantic as she tries to reach her peak.

I finger fuck her until she’s a quivering mess. “That’s it, baby, I need you to come,” I demand, and she does. Her pussy clenches around my fingers, her back arches off the bed, and she cries out, my name a plea on her lips.

While she’s coming down from her high, I position myself over her, running my cock through her soaked folds. I enter her in one swift movement. “Perfection, so damn perfect,” I growl as I begin to move; thrusting in and out of her. Every inward thrust has her mewling like a kitten.

“Yes,” she hisses out as I thrust harder into her.

She’s close and it spurs me on. I want her to come; I want to feel her squeeze my cock as she comes apart.

“Harder,” she begs. “Grayson, please, harder.”

I tighten my grip on her hips, tilting her ass so that I can get deeper inside of her. I slam into her with each thrust.

Her orgasm washes over her, and she floods my cock as she comes, her fingers clawing at my arms.

The tell-tale tingles start at the base of my back. Christ, I’m close. Being with Skylar is phenomenal, there’s nothing—no one better than her—never has been, never will be.

My mouth goes to her neck and I begin to reign kisses there as I continue to thrust inside of her, my pace picking up the closer I’m getting. I can’t stop; it’s got to be painful for her. It’s a relentless pace, one that I’m surprised that she’s keeping up with.

“Oh, God,” she cries, throwing her head back as she detonates. I thrust a few more times inside of her before I follow behind her, growling as I come.

I pull out of her, my cum and her juices soak my balls and run down her thighs. I always fuck with a condom, always, well, I used to. With Skylar, I seem to lose my damn mind and all my senses. I collapse on the bed beside her, completely fucking worn out.

This is where I belong. With Skylar, in this life we're building together.

Afterward, as we lie tangled in the sheets, Skylar traces lazy patterns on my chest. "What are you thinking about?" she asks softly.

I pull her closer, pressing a kiss to her forehead. "I'm thinking about how lucky I am," I admit. "And how I never want to let this go."

Skylar props herself up on one elbow, looking down at me with a tender smile. "You won't have to," she says. "I'm not going anywhere, Grayson. We're in this together, remember?"

I nod, feeling a surge of emotion. "Together," I agree.

I take a deep breath, my heart racing as I prepare to ask the question that's been on my mind all evening.

"Skylar," I say softly, reaching out to cup her cheek. "I know this might seem fast, but being with you these past few weeks has shown me what I've been missing all these years. You make me want to be a better man, a better partner. You challenge me and support me in ways I never thought possible."

I pause, searching her eyes. The love and warmth I see there gives me the courage to continue.
