Teddy freezes, and then a gorgeous smile stretches across his face. “That can be arranged.”

“I don’t mean… Well, I do mean… I…” My stuttering is stopped by Teddy pressing his mouth to mine in an overwhelming kiss. Thank God he’s not put off by my awkwardness.

“Take off your bra.” Teddy’s voice sounds like he has gravel in his throat. I follow his order, throwing it off the side of the bed. Then his fingers hook into the waistband of my underwear to yank them down my thighs and onto the floor.

Gia’s music is still thumping through the house, filling the silence. I can’t believe I’m doing this while my best friends are downstairs. With the way Teddy’s looking at me, I don’t think I could give two shits.

“I want you to show me how you use this.” Teddy holds up the still-vibrating device. Embarrassment tries to take hold, but I don’t let it. Channeling my inner Gia, I hold my hand out for it. I don’t play coy, I don’t keep teasing my nipples, I press it straight to my clit and have to clench my teeth to keep from letting out a lusty moan. A little whimper still escapes my throat.

“That’s a good girl,” Teddy growls. His eyes are fixated on my slick center. I gasp as two of his fingers slideinto me. I’d have thought one for a warm-up would’ve been needed, but I’m so wet it isn’t necessary.

“Oh, my god,” I whimper. “Teddy,please.”

“What do you need, beautiful? Tell me.”

“You. I need you. All of you.” I force my eyes open to make eye contact with him. I need him to know how serious I am. I don’t want to wait anymore. I’ve wanted this man for too many years to second-guess this choice. It’s not passion influencing my decision. No, that’s just the catalyst to make me brave enough to ask.

“Fuck, Lottie. Are you sure?” Teddy slides his palms along the outside of my thighs as if he can’t keep from staying in contact with me.

“Yes. I want you more than I’ve ever wanted anyone else.”

He stares at me for a moment longer before he nods. Then he drops his head, fusing his mouth to my pussy, and I slap my palm across my face to muffle my scream.

I drop the vibrator, wanting his mouth on my clit more. Teddy takes advantage, sucking my slick nub into his mouth. My hips begin to rock against him, chasing the release I’ve been building toward all evening.

Then Teddy’s pulling away, and I whine in protest. He grins at me as he drops his boxers, his thick cock slapping his stomach in his haste. I reach forward to play. My thumb and pointer barely touch around him. I still don’t know how he’ll fit, but at this moment, I don’t care. I’m willing to do whatever it takes to try it.

“I have an IUD and have never done this before, so I’m clean.” I shrug, avoiding looking into Teddy’s eyes. Of course, he doesn’t let me get away with that.

“I’m clean, too. Haven’t done this since before my last deployment.” The flash of vulnerability in Teddy’s eyes calms my nerves. I grab his face and pull it toward me. Our kiss is soft, full of gentle passion and promises. I’m giving him apiece of me no one else will ever have, and he’s sharing a part of himself he hasn’t been ready to share. I don’t take either offering lightly.

Teddy presses into me until I’m lying flat, with him hovering over me. I lift my legs to wrap around his hips. It positions my pussy exactly where I want to be, his full cock rubbing against my wet slit.

He doesn’t make me wait to have him. His cock head is poised at my entrance, stretching me in ways I didn’t realize could feel so delicious. He pulses his hips, slowly pushing forward with every thrust.

“So full,” I gasp.

“You’re doing so good, baby.” Teddy’s hands soothe my skin in slow strokes. “Halfway there.”

My eyes fly open. “Only half? That’s only half?”

Teddy laughs, dropping his head to my chest. I feel as if he’s in my guts right now. When he lifts back up, there’s a sparkle in his eyes. “You can take it all. Show me how good of a girl you can be.”

I shiver at his words. My palms run up and down the rippling muscles of his back until Teddy’s thrusting in earnest. His hips start to snap against my skin, my body taking every inch of him while my brain is so full of pleasure I can’t keep up anymore.

It’s everything and nothing like I imagined.

When Teddy’s hips begin to roll, grinding against my clit, my body soars.

“That’s it, baby. Come all over my cock. Show me how beautiful you look when you explode.”

The orgasm vibrates out from my center, reaching the top of my head and down to curl my toes. I thought I’d experienced the height of pleasure, but this…this is so much more than that. I feel as if I’ve splintered into a million pieces, and it’s only the way Teddy’s body is surrounding mine that makes me feel safe.

“You’re everything I dreamed of and more, Sparkles.” Teddy’s voice is rough against my skin as he thrusts into me. “You’re fucking everything.”

Teddy’s body shudders as he comes inside me, his face pressed into my neck. Once he’s still, I wrap my arms around his back and hold him tightly. He slides his arms under my back, holding me just as strongly.

If I ever doubted my love for this man, this just solidified those feelings. It’s far too early to say the words, but he has my heart in his hands.
