With a dark chuckle, I lower my head to tongue one of her nipples, but I don’t keep her waiting much longer, turning my gentle circles around the outside of her clit to a more direct touch. Still light, not enough to push her over, not yet. I want to take my time. And I want to taste every inch of her in the process.

Her skin feels like silk under my lips, and she tastes like heaven as I suck her nipples into my mouth one at a time, making her arch and writhe, then drag my tongue down her torso to place a kiss on her bare mound.

Settling between her legs, I sink two fingers inside her, making her gasp and moan. Even though I teased her with my fingers, I don’t keep it going, instead lapping at her like she’s my favorite treat. And right now, she is. In almost no time after I focus on her clit, she’s going off like fireworks, her internal muscles spasming around my fingers, her legs clamping down on my head.

Once I’ve brought her down the other side, I sit up and wipe my face with my hand before reaching for my bedside table to get a condom. As I roll it on, I feast my eyes on her curvy body laid out like a feast all for me.

“You look pretty pleased with yourself.”

Her voice brings my eyes to hers, and my smile grows wider. Settling over her, I line myself up and slowly push inside. Once our hips meet, I hold still, dropping a kiss on her mouth. “How could I not be pleased with myself with the way you just came all over my face?”

Whatever she might’ve said in return is lost as I start moving, starting off slow and easy, wanting this to last. She lifts her hips to meet mine with each stroke, squeezing me, each thrust taking me perilously close to snapping my control.

“Jesus, Charlie. You feel so good. I’ve missed you.”

“I’ve missed you too. I’ve missed getting to tell you that I love you.”

“Then tell me.”

Her head arches back as I hit her just right, but she brings her eyes back to mine. “I love you.”

Another thrust, another head arch.

“I love you too, Charlie.”

And then we’re kissing, and her arms are wrapped around me, and the tenuous hold on my control is gone. I’m lost in her, swept away in her love and her body. And I never want to be found.
