“Tell me,” I demanded, taking the tip and slowly rotating it over her folds and her clit. She started to move her hips frantically, and I knew how close she was to exploding, butnot yet.

“I’m ready, I’m ready,” she chanted over and over again.

“For what, Magnolia?” I slowly slid the tip in.Fuck, she was so hot and wet.

“For you, forus.” She gripped my forearms, her eyes locked on mine, and I could see the truth there.She was ready.I smiled and bent down to kiss her while I slowly inched my way in. Magnolia’s body started to shake as my tongue traced the outline of her lips, and she frantically gripped my arms, and I knew what was about to happen.

“Are you going to come on my cock, Magnolia?” The shaking of her body intensified, but I refused to move any faster, knowing the slow strokes would drag this out almost painfully.

“Sloan, please. God, please, I need tocome.”She had tears in her eyes over the sensations wracking her body, and still, I refused to give in.

“I know, baby. I know, just trust me.” I started to move my cock in and out but still at a slow speed, making sure she felt every hard ridge inside her, everyveinthat was throbbing for her. She was so wet, and her moans were so beautiful that I knew I wasn’t going to last much longer.

I continued my leisurely pace but bent her knees so I was almost impossibly deep. The shaking of her thighs now extended to her whole body, and I knew how close she was.

“Such a good girl, taking my cock this way,” I whispered in her ear. “You’re going to come for me. You’re so perfect; you were made for me.”

“I want you to come for me,”was the last thing I said before I pinched her clit and she exploded around me. Her pulsating pussy sent me over the edge into mind-numbing bliss, and I was pretty sure I blacked out. I came to my senses with Magnolia beneath me, looking up at me in half wonderment.

“I know,” I said to her. I wished I didn’t have a condom on because I wanted to stay buried in her tight heat for the rest of the night. Slowly I pulled out, kissing her forehead and telling her I’d be right back.

I made my way into the bathroom and disposed of the used condom, then grabbed a smaller towel. I waited for the water to heat up before wetting it and heading back out to clean up Magnolia. Her eyes were half mast, and I knew she was on the verge of passing out—not that I blamed her. Every part of me was stated: mind, heart, body, and soul.

“I’m going to clean you up, okay, baby?”

She nodded, her eyes fluttering closed. She flinched a little when I brought the cloth to her, but I knew it was just because she was oversensitive. I quickly finished, then pulled her body over mine as her soft snores filled the room.

“I love you,” I whispered to a sleeping Magnolia and buried her as deep into my side as she would go.

Chapter 45

Magnolia

I woke slowly the next morning, little parts of me coming back to consciousness, and my heartbeat thumped at the thought of why there was a delicious soreness between my legs. My sleepy mind filtered through last night with Sloan in a dream-like state, and I feltcontent—blissfully content—until I moved and realized I was alone in bed. That caused me to go from half asleep to completely awake. Looking around the room for Sloan, I felt around and noticed his side of the bed was cold. A quick glance outside showed me the sun was high in the sky, and I scrambled out of bed.

Throwing on some fuzzy socks and a robe, I made my way to the stairs, but before I could make it all the way down, I heard voices come from the kitchen. I had to tell myselfnotto sprint to the kitchen and give myself away, but I was terrified Sloan had left, that what happened last night was a figment of my imagination or he woke up thoroughly regretting it. I couldn’t have been the only one that felt that.Right?Like everything clicked into place…

I didn’t have time to continue second-guessing myself because when I rounded the kitchen at acompletely normal speed, I was met with Lexie and Sloan engaged in what looked like a somewhat heated debate. I found myself raising an eyebrow at them in question.

Once Sloan clocked that I was in the kitchen, he immediately disengaged from his conversation with Lexie and stalked over to me, pulling me into a quick but searing kiss.

“It’s about time you finally woke up.” Lexie’s irritated voice ground out.

I pulled myself away from Sloan and shot him a questioning glare before turning my focus to Lexie. “You’re going to have to fill me in here, guys.” My eyes shot between the both of them.

“While you were enjoying the world’s longest sleep, Sloan over here has basically been moving his stuffin. Which, I don’t mind, but I informed him that he needed your okay before doing this.” She shook her finger in Sloan’s direction, and he rolled his eyes at her.

“It’sonegym bag of clothes, Lexie,onebag.” He let out in an exasperated sigh, and I couldn’t help the laugh that bubbled up, despite the twinge of sadness over him bringing onlyonebag.

“Onewholebag, you say?” I flew my hand over my chest in mock horror. “What ever shall we do, Lex? Should we call his…hismother?” I whisper-gaspedas Sloan’s throaty laugh rang out, and I felt warm all over. I couldn’t help but shoot him a soft look that had Lexie gagging.

“Okay,okay.I give.” She threw her hands up in defeat, but neither one of us missed her smile—she washappyfor me. She pointed at Sloan again. “Donothog all the hot water in the morning and everything will be fine, yeah?” She gave the signal letting him know she was watching him, and he held his hands up in mock surrender.

“Cross my heart.”

His eyes found mine again and I melted, making my way over to him.

“Ew, okay, I’m going out in fifteen minutes. Please wait until I’m gone to act on your bedroom eyes.”
