“What do you want?”
“You. Fuck me, Gage.”
I search her eyes a second longer for any doubts, but I see none. My lips come down on hers in a hungry kiss. As I pull down my boxer briefs, a sense of urgency courses through me. I decide to move her scrap of black fabric to the side rather than remove it. With her hands still above her head, I grip them and eagerly thrust in.
Similar to the first time, this moment is incredibly intoxicating, overwhelming, and undeniably perfect. But what sets this time apart is her desire for it to be me. Not the guy who sought to impress her with his seductive words and secrets because he feared the rejection. Just me, laying every piece of myself bare for her.
Her eyes shimmer with a vibrant blue, mirroring the start of a brand-new day, a new beginning. Her mouth parts, and she emits a soft, melodic moan that has my knees going weak.
I pull back, then plunge in again while we remain connected in more ways than one. In our eyes, that show more than words will ever say. In our hands, that are intertwined just like our souls are. And in our hearts, that only beat for each other.
“You’re such a good girl. So beautiful,” I say between grunts and kisses as I thrust into her repeatedly.
Grabbing a satin pillow from the side of the bed, I wedge it under her lower back before plunging back in.
“Oh fuck,” she chants as her eyes widen while I pound into her relentlessly at this new angle.
God, she feels so fucking good.
My body falls onto hers as our lips touch again, eager to learn if her moans taste as intoxicating as they sound.

With a single fluid motion, Gage flips us over, leaving me straddling him as our bodies remain intertwined. My eyes widen as I feel him even deeper than he was before.
I gaze into his eyes and gave him a questioning expression. The right side of his upper lip pulls into a smirk before his firm hands grab onto my hips, and he rocks me forward onto him. A little bundle of nerves in me gets hit, making my back arch and my eyes roll into the back of my head. It’s a dangerously delicious sensation, a high I never want to come down from.
“Eyes on me, beautiful.”
With my hands resting on his muscular chest, I can feel his heartbeat against my palms as he skillfully guides me back and forth while my half-lidded eyes remain fixed on him. His face contorts as I use my strength to match his. He reveals a blend of bliss and intense focus as he clenches his lower lip between his teeth and grips my hips tighter.
Witnessing him unraveling beneath me fills me with an overwhelming sense of empowerment. He makes me feelconfident, sexy, and strong. I love the way he makes me feel. I lovehim.
The truth settles upon me like a warm blanket as I come to terms with what has always been—my undeniable love for this man.
My body presses against his as we kiss, and I savor the sensation of my clit grazing his lower stomach.
“I love you,” I moan as I gaze into his deep-blue eyes.
His eyes widen, and a startled breath escapes his lips before his hands shoot out to grasp my face. “I love you, Lex, so fucking much.”
My body rocks harder against his as I’m consumed by a fiery sensation, causing me to moan once again as the pressure builds. “I’m going to come.”
As Gage shifts, we align ourselves into a sitting position, our bodies still connected while our hearts throb in unison.
As he bites down on the side of my neck, he whispers, “Be a good girl and come for me.” His powerful arms enveloping me in a tight hug as he thrusts deeply, igniting a rush of inexplicable sensations. I come with a scream that has me seeing stars as I feel him thrust twice more before coming inside me with a groan.
We continue to hold each other with our bodies intertwined until our erratic breathing subsides and there’s nothing but silence in the room.
“Come on, I want you at home in our bed so I can worship you more.”
The word ‘our’ no longer sounds awful. It sounds like a new beginning and happiness.
Ten minutes later, we step out of the club with Gage’s arm secured around me. The refreshing chill of the early morning air greets us. I inhale and let a smile creep onto my lips.
“What?” Gage asks as he smirks down at me.
