Page 29 of Happily Ever Laughter

Kissing across her forehead, I bounce kisses on her nose until she giggles. “We likely should take our time. I get the feeling you haven’t been close with anyone else, and the thought of hurting you at all is just...” My head shakes rapidly. “No.”

Her lovely eyes are difficult to read, and she stays silent, but her fingers hold onto me tightly.

“It’s a big step, and we don’t have to take it right away. But I’d love a repeat of last night, or even just to sleep with you in my arms.” Trailing my fingers behind her ears, I hold her face close. “What do you think of sleeping naked and snuggling?”

She nods eagerly. “Yes.”

Tanis stands, allowing me to slip off her clothing piece by piece, revealing every part of her body like the hidden treasure that it is. Those soft curves, her delicate skin, and the flashing saucy look in her eye combine to make my heart thump excitedly in my chest.

I pull off my t-shirt, and while it’s over my eyes, I feel lips bounce down the center of my chest in a string of light kisses.

“I love that you’re so playful,” I murmur, throwing my shirt and scooping her up in my arms. Placing her on the bed, I click off the main light before slipping off my jeans and getting in beside her.

Feeling comfortable while being naked with someone is something I’ve always craved. It’s not just about the sex, or being sexy, it’s the level of familiarity. Knowing that I’m the only one who gets to see her like this. That she’s the only person I’ll share this side of myself with.

The scent of her hair right under my nose, the feeling of her skin pressed to mine, and the sound of her soft breathing all combine to arouse me completely. Turning my hips slightly, I pre

tend to be stretching out my legs as I try to keep my erection away from her.

As we grow quiet, I can sense that her breathing is a tiny bit too quick. “Sweetheart, I want you to know that you can tell me anything. Okay? Anything you want, anything you need, I’m here for you.”

Her hand presses against the center of my chest, as her leg slides over mine.

“I think you know what I want,” she barely breathes. “I want you. Need you. All of you.”

In a blink, Tanis is on her back, my tongue and fingers worshipping her incredible round breasts. Her thighs press together with a moan as she quivers while I suck her nipple.

“Is it bad for us to have sex too soon?” she asks breathlessly. “I don’t want to mess anything up. I don’t know any of the rules for dating with this stuff.”

I lap at her other little peak before bringing my lips to hers, my forearms caging her head as I pull back to look down into those wide eyes.

“This isn’t just dating, Tanis. I know you can feel the lightning between us.”

“Yes, absolutely. But it’s just physical.”

Our mouths melt into each other in the most heart wrenching, soul-searching, dreamy kiss of all time.

As I rise up to let her catch her breath, we lock eyes. “Don’t be scared, sweetheart. But I think you know how I feel about you already.”

I expect her to look touched. Instead, she giggles wildly, her head falling back as she gasps for air.

“Not the reaction I was hoping for,” I mutter, raising my eyebrow.

“I’m sorry,” she sputters. “I guess it’s nervous laughter. I feel the same way, I just…it’s way too soon to say it and I’m scared.”

“I know, sweetheart. I know.”

Kissing her gently, I feel her soften again, except for her fingers digging roughly into the backs of my shoulders.

“May I lick you again?” I ask, as I reach down to feel the incredible moisture gathering through her crease.

“I can’t wait,” she whispers, sliding her hand down my back to grip my ass possessively. Staring up into my eyes, she bites her lip before whispering, “I want you. All of you. Felix, I think I need you.”

Cutting her off with a ferocious kiss, her tongue tangles with mine as our bodies shift into the most beautiful, primal position. As her thighs open for me, my hard cock is heavy from both anticipation, and the weight of this moment.

Brushing the head along her tender folds, I wet my skin, taking my time. I’m likely a little big for her, and need to be very careful not to hurt my sweet girl, even though I know I will. I just pray that it’s not too much.

More than anything, I need her to know my only thoughts are for her pleasure. Her comfort.
