Incredible.

Perfect.

Wrapped around me, her skin flush against mine, her breasts heaving and hot breath feathering my neck?—

It’s not just perfect.

It feels like I found a part of me I never realized was missing.

As I move inside her, feeling the tiny ripples of her inner muscles clutching at me, the bite of her nails on my biceps, and her soft kisses along my neck, I’m filled with a certainty that everything in my life has been leading up to this.

Not just the most incredible sex.

But the most incredible woman.

We move faster and faster, our bodies crashing into each other. Any pretense of tenderness is swept away in a storm of need.

Our kisses grow more frenzied.

Tatum’s moans blend with the slick sound of me moving inside her.

Her hips jerk towards me and I place my hand over her stomach to hold her down.

Then I reach between us to pluck at that little bundle of nerves, swollen and exposed.

“Erik.”Tate whimpers. Then she bites my neck.

Fuck.

I almost come.

But I can’t. Not yet.

I keep working her little bud while I thrust into her even faster. Harder. And she meets me with every plunge, clutching at me, whispering, “Oh, Erik. Oh. This feels so good. Oh. I’m so close.”

Until finally she explodes, convulsing around me. Holding me to her. Shouting out my name.

That’s all it takes.

In a burst of light, I go impossibly hard, pulsing hot inside her. Filling her.

Never in my life have I been with a woman without protection. Not until Tate. And there’s no one else I’d trust enough to do it with. No one I’ve cared enough about to want to.

As the aftershocks ripple through us, I roll over and drape Tatum across my body. She nuzzles my neck, pressing tiny kisses to it. When I wrap my arms around her, she cuddles against me, letting out a sigh of pleasure.

“That was…” She pauses. Kisses my neck again. “All I’d imagined. But more.”

I stroke my hand down her hair, running my fingers through it. “I couldn’t agree more.” My lips press to the top of her head.

Like a lightning strike, a thought hits me.

Not just a thought, but a certainty.

I’m falling in love with her.

I know it’s soon.

But that changes nothing.
