“Why?”
“Because I don’t want you to see where I’m hiding them.”
She closed her eyes and covered her face with the duvet while I placed her keys behind a pile of books. Crawling back into bed with her, I didn’t put on the condom right away. Instead, I started with all the things we’d already done in Bali and took my time to make sure River was soaking wet and whispering in my ear that she wanted me inside her.
It took me mere seconds to put on the condom, and then I rolled on top of her and intertwined our fingers above her head. My expression was serious, and my pulse was speeding. “Tell me this is what you really want.”
“I wouldn’t have come all this way if I wasn’t ready to give myself fully to you.”
We kept eye contact when I sunk inside River. I didn’t breathe as I watched her face for any discomfort or signs that she might freak out.
River didn’t show any signs of stress, and it gave me the confidence to push in and out in slow movements, stretching and filling her.
When she raked her hands through my hair and guided me closer to kiss me, I felt relief.
A sweet moan sounded from her, and then she wrapped her legs around my waist. I felt like I’d been underwater too long and sucked in the breath I’d been holding.
“Are you okay?” I asked her.
“Yes. I’m not going anywhere.”
I cupped her face with one hand and looked deep into her eyes. “Are you sure?”
Her face melted. “You make me feel nurtured and loved.”
“Youareloved.”
River swallowed hard and trailed her fingernails down my shoulder. “Don’t hold back, Noah.”
“Oh, I’m holding back this first time. Maybe next time we can take it up a notch, but for now, we’re going slow.”
“And what about the tenth time? Will it be raw and dirty sex against a tree then?”
My eyes widened. “Would you like that?”
“I’ve fantasized about it.”
“Yeah?” My voice sounded hoarse with desire when I asked, “What else have you fantasized about?”
“I told you, I’ve fantasized about you in your police uniform, a lot. We’ve had sex in my car, my bed, my bath, anywhere really.”
“Fuuuck. You’re killing me here.”
“I told you not to hold back.”
With her permission, I increased the pace. Our lovemaking made the bed squeak from the rocking movements, and our moans turned longer.
“I’ve missed you so much,” I rasped and lifted her leg to get deeper inside her.
River was making sweet sounds. “I’ve missed you too. I can’t believe we’re finally together again.”
“Imagine how much great sex we’ve missed out on these seven months.”
“I know.” She panted. “Yeess, Noah. Yeess… right there, oh, it feels so good.”
I could feel my ball-sack tightening and my soldiers getting ready to release. I tried to focus on her pleasure, but when she kept whispering in my ear, “Come inside me, Noah, yeess, I want you to let go,” it was impossible to hold back. With a long, pained groan, I gave in and filled the condom while holding on to River.
She took my entire weight until my brain worked enough to realize I was crushing her. Rolling to my side, I panted and blamed myself for not making her come.
