Bracing myself with one elbow, I notch myself at her entrance, entering her tight wet heat so slowly it’s almost painful.

She sucks in a breath and holds it.

“Breathe, baby. Tell me if this is too much.”

“I’m okay. It’s just you’re…”

“I’m what?” I tease, moving in and out with just the tip.

“Big,” Penny gasps out when I push the rest of the way in. Once I’ve bottomed out inside her, I suck in quickly. She’s squeezing my cock so tightly, I have to take a minute before I lose it right here and now, ending this before it’s even begun.

Once I’ve gotten control of myself, I rock in and out, in and out, keeping our gazes locked as a million unspoken words pass between us.

“I knew you’d feel this good, baby. I fucking knew it.” Reaching down, I circle her clit with my thumb and she gasps, bucking her hips into me. “I want so damn much to take this slow?—”

“No,” she interrupts, running her nails lightly up and down my back, sending a shudder of sensation traveling through me. “I’m tired of slow.”

“Well then, Imma need you to hold on cause it’s gonna be fast and hard this first time.”

All it takes is one nod of her head and we lose ourselves in each other. Being inside of her feels good in ways I never could have imagined. She matches my movements, lifting her hips to meet mine causing me to groan loudly. With one hand still pressed on the mattress by her head, I use the other to lift her leg, creating a new angle, allowing me to sink deeper. When I circle my hips into her, she cries out, digging her nails into my back.

“That’s it, baby,” I urge her. “You can yell my name as loud as you want in here.”

When Penny’s eyes flutter shut, I press my forehead to hers, and she opens them. “I wanna see what you look like when you come undone with me inside you. And I want you to see what you do to me. Eyes open.”

Penny’s eyes open, lazily, and my pace quickens.

“You’re taking me so good, baby. So fucking good.” I reach down, pressing my thumb to her clit, and she moans, a deep gutteral sound.

Her muscles start to flutter around me at the same time pressure begins at the base of my spine coiling tighter and tighter. With our eyes still locked, I dig my fingers into her thigh and with a few more thrusts, we crescendo together. My head lowers to her shoulder and I murmur unintelligible praises, my teeth grazing her tender skin.

I collapse heavy onto her and roll us so we’re facing each other. I’m still inside of her, my hips rocking in a lazy rhythm.

“Holy shit,” she pants.

I chuckle, just as breathless. “I know. That was…” I allow my words to trail off, peppering soft kisses along her shoulders, collarbone, and up to her mouth.

“I’m at a loss for words,” Penny murmurs against my lips.

That caveman part of my brain wants to beat my chest with a job well done, but I refrain.

“I think it’s safe to say,” I drawl, barely hiding the edge of pride in my words, “what just happened between us is unlike anything I could have imagined. Everything between us is that way.”

I kiss her one more time before finally pulling out.

“Don’t move, I’ll be right back.” I head to my bathroom and dampen a washcloth with warm water and return, lowering between her legs. Her eyes go tender, glassing over, when she realizes what I’m doing and I give her a soft smile.

Once she’s clean enough, I lift her, wrapping her legs around my torso and carry her to the bathroom where a steaming hot shower is already fogging up the mirrors. She slides down my body and I reach out to cradle both of her breasts in my hands.

“I love these,” I say, bending to take one nipple into my mouth.

Once I’ve given both breasts thorough attention, I grab the handheld nozzle and wet her hair, digging my fingers into her scalp as I shampoo it. She mewls under my touch, and my cock starts to thicken back up at the sound.

Penny takes her turn, washing my body between tender kisses, and another piece of myself that I thought I’d lost clicks into place.

Texas was like a world of our own, a protective bubble that kept real life at bay. Penny and I returned to Singing River changed in ways we’re both trying to wrap our minds around. My future is still up in the air, but before we left Ty assured me he had some ideas, so I’m just trusting that the future I see for myself will work out.

But now that bubble we existed in has well and truly burst, and it’s straight back to the real world. As soon as we returned to Singing River, we got my sister set up, I moved into Penny’s house, and she hit the ground running to catch up on any work she missed while we were gone. She’s been working late hours with a couple of local musicians, and I’ve been quietly replacing light fixtures and touching up paint around the studio while trying to stay out of the way.
