He reaches down and grabs one of my legs and pushes it up against his chest, then grabs the other and does the same, allowing him to bury himself deeper inside me.
 
 My mind is spaghetti, so I can’t form words to tell him how good he feels. His groans and grunts are all I need to know he’s feeling at least half as much as me. He grips the back of my thigh as he’s pumping into me, and then yells my name as he pinches my nipple again and releases as he’s buried to the hilt.
 
 Caleb collapses on top of me. I love the feel of his sweaty, slippery skin on mine. After a few moments, he pulls out of me and tosses the condom in a wastebasket by the bed, then rolls to my side. He throws an arm around me lazily as we lock eyes.
 
 I notice a faint scar on his left eyebrow and run a finger over it.
 
 “From a fight back in high school.”
 
 “Did you get in a lot of fights?”
 
 “Only when they deserved it.”
 
 “What did this guy do?”
 
 “Well,” he pulled my hand up to his mouth and kissed my knuckle gently. “He called the girl I was messing around with a slut.”
 
 “You defended her honor.”
 
 “Yes, I did. He was pissed because he’d wanted to date her, but she turned him down. Classic loser-move to talk shit about her when he gets rejected.”
 
 “Classic.”
 
 “Zoe?”
 
 “Yeah?”
 
 He kisses my knuckles gently again.
 
 “How do you feel?”
 
 “Like, I know what heaven is like.”
 
 He convulses with laughter.
 
 “Come on.”
 
 “I’m serious. That was amazing.”
 
 “I’m not fishing for compliments. I’m wondering how you feel about everything. About your sex-kitten status. About us.”
 
 “Oh. That.” I throw a heavy leg over him and try to pull him closer. “You are a true Jedi. I feel that I have learned what I needed to learn and am now a bona-fide sex kitten.”
 
 “Really?”
 
 “Yeah.” I can feel the heat growing again in my nether regions. “It isn’t just that you showed me stuff. You let me wade my way through this. You didn’t make me feel weird when I squirted all over you.”
 
 “No. That was awesome.”
 
 “I’m serious, Caleb. It opened the door for me to let go. I didn’t worry what you were thinking. I didn’t worry if I was doing it right. I was enjoying myself and letting my body show me what to do.”
 
 “And the other thing?”
 
 “Us?”
 
 “Yeah.”
 
 “I’m ready to tell them. I’m ready for the whole world to know.”
