I rolled to my side trying not to pin her down. My desires were so strong I was barely holding on by a thread.
I pulled back and looked deep into her eyes with a million questions in mine.
“I’m good,” she confirmed as I resumed my kisses.
She wrapped her legs around me and pulled me tightly to her. We fit so perfectly that it took barely any movement to position myself against her.
“Are you sure?” I asked, wishing I could play with her in the way she had me.
I knew I wasn’t going to last long. If she said yes, this would be fast and furious, but I suspected that was what she wanted in that moment.
“Yes, Landon. Yes.”
I thrusted forward and filled her. For a brief moment we both stilled and then she smiled. It was the most radiant, triumphant smile I’d ever seen.
“So beautiful,” I whispered as I began to move against her.
With no foreplay for her, I was worried I’d be done before she was even really ready to start, but that wasn’t a problem at all. It was quite obvious that she had enjoyed playing with me as much as I’d enjoyed letting her.
We moved in perfect sync. This time there was no inebriation. Those couple of drinks I’d had with the boys had done nothing but relax me a little. We were entirely sober.
As she laid beneath me, I remembered why I had been so still to begin with. This wasn’t about me and my needs. Tonight was about her. If I were being honest with myself, every night for the rest of our lives would be about her needs. I knew for now that meant relinquishing control to her.
I grabbed her by the waist and rolled to be on my back. She looked a little surprised. Neither of us really had a clue what we were doing, yet it also seemed like the most natural thing in the entire world.
She took a second to find a good position that was comfortable for her. Her hands splayed out across my chest. She took my breath away as she stared down at me with her golden hair fanned around her face.
And then she moved.
It took a moment for her to find a rhythm that made her feel good, but when she did, it was magical. She looked fearless and strong. There was no skittish victim to be seen. My girl was in full control and all I could do was hold on and enjoy the ride.
It didn’t take long before she was incoherently moaning and repeating my name amidst other things until she began shaking all over and collapsed upon my chest. I held her tight as I found my own release quickly.
When she looked up at me again her eyes were damp, but her smile told me she was going to be okay.
“Thank you,” she whispered just before she fell asleep on top of me.

Chapter 17
Talking through some things with Tobi had really helped me out. I already knew Landon was a great man but hearing my friend brag about him was like seeing him in a whole new light.
The bond between us was strengthening. I could feel his emotions as clearly as my own now. I suspected I was feeding off of them as we made love, completely sober, and it had been perfect. He hadn’t tried to rush me or dominate me in any way. He was patient and loving. Most importantly, I trusted him.
Trust certainly wasn’t something that came easy for me, but it had where Landon was concerned.
I awoke early the next morning drooling on his chest. I wasn’t even certain he’d moved throughout the night as he continued to hold me. It made me feel protected and cherished.
I kissed his chest loving the feeling of his naked body against mine.
I knew he wanted to leave early though, anxious to return home. It wasn’t easy, but I left him to seek out a shower.
By the time I was clean and dressed for the day, Landon was up making breakfast and laughing with Owen in the kitchen.
The sun was just rising over the city in a display of brilliant color.
“Wow,” I whispered.
