He laughed. “Much appreciated. Don’t think I want to have that talk with him today.”

I giggled. “God, no. No trauma today, please.”

“Just orgasms.” He buried his face in my neck, and I wrapped my arms around him.

“Delicious orgasms,” I sighed as I trailed my fingers down his back. So many delicious muscles. So different from...

Nope. Wasn’t thinking about him right now.

Just about this man who had given me the first non-self-induced orgasm in nearly two years.

My hands traveled lower to his boxers. I dug under the material to grip his rather delicious ass, then I rolled him onto his back.

He grinned up at me, stacking his arms behind his head, easy as you please.

As if he didn’t have a rock-hard erection digging into me.

I reached around and unhooked my bra, tossing the twisted lace away. His eyes lit at my freed breasts, rising up so he could get a taste.

“Now that you’ve scrambled my brains, I think it’s time to reciprocate.”

“What did you have in mind?”

I slipped a hand into the front of his boxers and swallowed a gasp at the length of him. So much more than I was expecting.

My bravado took a nosedive.

“Hey.” He cupped my cheek. “No expectations.”

A tiny laugh bubbled out. “I want this. I want you.”

He rolled me onto my back. “And I’ve never wanted anyone more.”

My eyes stung. “Sully.”

He hovered over me. “It’s the truth. You’re everything I ever wanted, Nora. Period. Let me show you.”

I’d forgotten what it felt like to be adored. To be put first. I pushed down the cotton and slid my fingers along his length, learning him. What made him shiver, what made him groan.

He reached for the bedside table for a condom, and I was grateful. I hadn’t been thinking that far ahead.Foolish.

I helped line us up and closed my eyes as the tip of him slid inside.

“Nora.”

I was afraid to open my eyes.

Afraid to let him in every part of me.

“Nora, sweetheart.”

I met his gaze. The heat was there, but that wasn’t all. It was only the first layer of Sully. There was understanding and something fiercer that I couldn’t risk naming.

He eased into me and while my brain was still turbulent, my body knew he was the one for me.

It wasn’t supposed to be like this. Not the first time.

My legs lifted to take him ever deeper and we moved together as we started, but now we fit in every way.
