Page 149 of All We Need

She knowsI’mright.

And fuck, ifI’venever wanted to be wrong so much in my entire life.

“Today then.”Hervoice is hoarse, like she’s been screaming for hours. “Wemake the most of today.Giveme one last memory to remember our time together.”

SoIdo just that.Witha jagged heart, my lips meet hers fiercely, drinking down her gasp like the sweetest nectar.Sheclings to me as we stand, already grappling with my clothes on our journey toward the bed.

Space is the last thing we need, so as her back hits the mattress,Ifall with her.

That’s allIdo withAlessandraArgiros.

Fall.

“I’m taking my time first.Later,I’llgive you what we both ache for.”Graspingthe hem of her sweater,Ireveal the milky skin of her stomach and lay gentle kisses around her navel. “There’sno forgetting you, butI’mgoing to make love to you likeI’mafraid it’s possible.”

With a strong grip on my hair, she leads me back up herbody and captures my mouth before mumbling, “Loveme now.Fuckme later.”

Love me now.

My heart protests in my chest, screaming,I’lllove no one the wayIdo you.

ButIlove her too much to ask her to stay.Lettingher go is allIcan do.

We strip each other bare.Hersublime body stretches out underneath me.Thegentle curve of her breasts, the dark curls surrounding her face like a midnight halo, and the silent gasp she makes asIdrag my fingers through her slick center are thingsIwill remember whenI’msix feet under.

“Always so wet and ready for me, baby.”

She reaches between us to grasp my cock and brings it to her entrance.Herback arches when my tip grazes her already swollen clit. “Onlyyou.Onlyever for you.”

A primal surge threatens my control.Itamp it down, savoring every second as her tight heat draws me in untilIfill her to the hilt.

“Ah, fuck,Aly.Fuck!Howdoes it get better each time?”Igroan against her throat.

“Because it’s us.Youknow me.Mybody.Butright nowIneed you to move.Please.”Thatsingle word, whispered like a prayer, is my undoing.

I push her knees to her chest, driving deeper.Withour eyes level and heartbeats in tune, we move in lazy synchronization, rocking together slowly.Hernails score down my back with each thrust.It’sunhurried as we build up to the crescendo.

I’ve never been a man of faith, but ifIwere to follow a religion, it would beher.Nogod, but a goddess.Mysilver goddess.I’dpray for her presence to bless me and worship at her altar daily.

As her walls grip me and her cries increase until she’spanting desperately against my skin,Iknow nothing will ever compare.

“Give it to me,Alessandra,”Idemand, hand stroking up her sides until my fingers lock around her jaw, keeping her gaze on mine. “Giveme those sweet little noises thatI’mgoing to dream about.”

Suddenly, she triggers, her head thrown back in ecstasy as she rides out her orgasm.Sheclings to my shoulders, chanting my name.I’mquick to follow asIspill deep inside her, filling her so perfectly until our combined releases leak onto my thighs.

It’s not long until we’re losing ourselves to each other again.Thistime, we don’t savor.Wetake.Wereceive.Wegive ourselves over completely.

It’s fucking euphoric, yet allIcan think isIhave the woman of my dreams in my arms andI’mabout to let her slip away.

Wakingup inBooth’sarms is heaven.

Leaving them is hell.

I’m rudely dragged from my deep slumber when my phone buzzes across the room.
