She raised her arms to help me tug it over her head. Then I unhooked her bra and let it drop to the ground. With her breasts bared to me, I leaned down and took one into my mouth, teasing my tongue around the nipple as I sucked on her delicate flesh.

She arced, thrusting her chest into my face. “I love your mouth on me, Cannon.”

“Well, aren’t we a perfect pair then, because I love my mouth on you too.” Trailing one of my hands up her waist, I cupped her other breast and massaged her soft mound. When I was satisfied I had her a writhing mess against the wall, I pinched her nipple between my thumb and forefinger and sucked hard on the nipple in my mouth.

She jerked against my face and came on a sexy moan that stretched out for several moments. Then she gazed down at me, wearing a goofy grin. “I’m going to dissolve into a puddle of desire right here on your floor. You need to remove your clothes and shove your dick inside of me. Cannon, I want you.”

Moving my hands to the sides of her yoga pants, I tucked my fingers inside and tugged them down along with her panties. After she stepped out of them, I tossed them to the side. Kneeling down, I leaned in and placed a kiss to her mound. “I want to stick something else inside you at the moment. You taste too delicious not to sample a bit first.”

“I may slide to the floor in an ungraceful heap if you sample me anymore.” Her sentence ended on a long moan as I slid my tongue up her slit.

Then I curved it around her clit and teased the nub. Her hips rocked into my face.

Sexy mewls egged me on. “Cannon.” She pleaded.

Oh I’d take care of her. Tracing my tongue around her folds, I was rewarded with her delicious cream. And the more I licked, the more of her luscious juices coated my tongue. “You taste so delectable I could eat you all day.” But lucky for her, my dick was hardening to the point of pain so I’d be sinking into her sweet pussy shortly.

“Cannon.” She dragged my name out again in protest. “Please.”

Sliding one of my fingers into her warm channel, I pumped it in and out as I continued to lap up her nectar.

“Oh, yes, Cannon. That’s perfect. You’re going to make me come.” She panted.

I gazed up at her face; her cheeks were rosy; her mouth opened slightly on a sigh; and her eyes dazed. She was stunning. And she was going to stay here and stay mine. I added another finger when her walls clamped around my digit. Rotating them slightly, I hit her sweet spot.

“Right there. Oh, God, that’s even better.” She dropped her head back against the wall.

Speeding up my thrusts, I sucked her clit into my mouth and she exploded on a scream. Her cream filled my mouth and I ate at her greedily. I would never get enough of her and now I didn’t have to be concerned with that. She was staying with me. When she started sliding down the wall, I placed my hands on her waist to hold her up. “Do you think I can fuck you here, or do we need to go somewhere horizontal?”

“My legs are like jello but I think I can manage. You’re doing a really good job of holding me upright. Besides, I’ve never been fucked up against a wall before. I want to experience that with you.”

I winked at her. “I want to experience it with you too. I want to experience a lot of things with you. Are you good like that for a moment while I get these jeans out of my way?”

When she nodded, I quickly undid my button and zipper and pushed the denim down and off of my legs, grabbing a foil packet out of my pocket before kicking them to the side. After pulling off my briefs, I ripped open the condom and slid it down my length. Smirking at Harper, I lifted her into my arms and set her onto my cock. Her back braced against the wall, I slid into her slowly. The two of us groaning at the incredible angle this position provided.

“I thought it was incredible when your fingers found my G-spot. Your dick hitting it is pure heaven and . . .” Her words morphed into a long moan.

“I want to feel you come around my dick, Harper.” Her pussy trembled, the waves sending tremors straight to my balls. I pushed into her wet heat, each thrust banging her off of the wall. When she clenched down on me in hot spasms, I sped up my plunges. Her pussy rippled as I drove into her and in a matter of seconds her pussy seized my cock in a stranglehold and her warm release coated my dick. With the way she clutched me, after two more thrusts, my own orgasm came barreling down on me, exploding like a supernova.

Slipping out of her, I gathered Harper into my arms and held her close, kissing the side of her neck. “I love you. I’m really happy you told me you were going to stay. I mean I kinda got the feeling you were going to, but I liked hearing the words. I was really hoping you would stay with me.”

“I love you, too. And I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. This has been more than a safe haven for me and you have been more than I could have ever hoped for or imagined. It’s a perfect dream come true. Maybe we can start actually dating.”

“Speaking of that, why don’t I take you out to eat tonight? It can be our first official date.” I trailed my lips up her throat before finding her mouth. Then I nipped at her bottom lip before touching my mouth to hers in a gentle kiss. “And Harper, you have been my miracle. You are the one I have been waiting for.”

She shot me a beautiful smile. “I haven’t been out on a date in a while. I’d like to have tonight be our first. I know I’m not completely out of danger but I feel so much better knowing that he’s no longer untouchable. Once he shows his face, it’s over for him.” Her gorgeous grin grew malicious.

“I’m really enjoying seeing you so happy about this. A huge weight has been lifted from you and it’s making you shine. You no longer have that dark cloud of fear smothering you.”

“I know it’s not completely over yet but I don’t feel like I’m suffocating anymore. I can breathe again without my nightmare plaguing me. It feels really good.” She paused for a moment and then gave me a teasing smile. “Think we should put back on our clothes?”

“No. I have a better idea.” My own lips curled into a devilish grin. And then I fucked her on the floor, right beside the front door.

After round three, the two of us managed to pull on our clothes and then headed outside. We took a walk through the woods and then hung out on the swing. She suggested some flowers and shrubs she’d like to plant out in the yard at some point. I loved hearing her talk about adding her own touches toourplace. She was so content and carefree. Since I knew we had only won half the battle, I didn’t want to think about the upcoming months. I was well aware how long some cases dragged out. And I dreaded when she had to take the stand and relive her brother’s death. It was one thing giving an account to Greg; it would be a completely different and more horrid experience giving it in testimony. The defense was sure to pick her apart. But I kept those thoughts tucked inside my head. She deserved to relish her minor reprieve. We’d deal with that new shit storm when the time came.

We stayed outside until the early evening and then headed back inside to get showered and changed before going out for dinner.

I finished before her, so I sat in the living room, flipping through the channels.
