He shrugged. “I was winging it.”

“You could teach a class,” I said with a cackle, pulling him in for a kiss.

“Oh, really?” he asked, sounding proud of himself.

“Oh, yeah. Big time,” I said, kissing his neck, his chin, his lips. “I want to make you feel this…amazing.”

“Tilly, you don’t have to—”

I placed a finger against his lips. “Shhh. Come with me.”

Taking Wyatt by the hand, I led him to my bedroom and opened a box of condoms that was tucked inside my nightstand. I handed one to him.

“Are you sure?” he asked as I unbuttoned his Oxford shirt. “I want you to be sure.”

I nodded and kissed him, stroking his tongue with my own. “I’ve never been so sure about anything.”

“Is this your first…I mean, have you done this before?” he asked, swallowing hard, looking down at the condom wrapper.

I shrugged. “Yeah. With Oden.”

“Oh.” The color drained from his cheeks, but his eyes never left mine. “I, uh…I haven’t.”

“Really?” I asked, tilting my head to the side.

“Is that a turn-off?” he asked, looking concerned.

“Far from it.” I wrapped my arms around his shoulders and pulled off his shirt, tossing it onto the bed. “And judging by your performance on the couch, you have nothing to worry about.”

He threw his head back and laughed as he squeezed my ass. “Well, that’s a relief.”

“I can’t believe you’re here…and that we’re finally doing this,” I said, looking into his eyes, a seriousness coming over me.

“This is going to change everything, Tilly.”

“I know.”

“Are you ready for that?”

“I don’t want to punish you anymore, Wyatt,” I said, shaking my head slowly. “I’m done with all of that.”

He ran his fingers through my hair, and his eyes filled with tears. “You mean that?”

Taking his hand, I pressed it to my chest. “Do you feel my heart? How hard it’s pounding. No one else can make my heart do this. No one but you, Wyatt.”

He smiled wide.

“I’ve hidden from this feeling, tried to run from it, but it’s no use. And I don’t want to do it anymore. It’s you, Wyatt. It will always be you.”

His chest heaved, and a lone tear fell down his cheek as his lips curled into a satisfied smile. He smothered my lips with his own, caressing them, tantalizing them with every stroke and every touch. There was an intensity to his kiss that I hadn’t felt before, and I found myself submitting to him as he pressed me into the mattress, covering me with his body, massaging my breasts, and showering me with kisses.

Reaching down, I unzipped his pants, and he pulled them off, throwing them to the floor. Slipping my hand into the opening of his cotton boxers, I felt him. Wyatt moaned into my mouth as I stroked him gently. He pulled away, and a bright flare of desire sprang into his eyes. Pushing his boxers down, I took the condom from his hand, ripping open the wrapper and sliding it down onto him. He sighed, and I rolled him to his back. As I hovered over him, he wrapped his hands around my waist, looking up at me in wonder.

“I’ve never seen anyone so beautiful.”

With a satisfied smile and a deep feeling of peace within me, I eased myself down onto him, and he closed his eyes tight, letting out a throaty sigh. Seeing what I did to him, the thrill of arousal in every movement of his body, sent tremors of exhilaration through me once again. Wyatt reached up to touch my face, pulling me down to kiss him before rolling me to my back. Instinctively, I wrapped my legs around his waist and welcomed him in. He wasted no time, thrusting again and again as his lips hypnotized my own with a series of slow, shivery kisses.

My senses reeled as I felt his shoulder muscles tense. Gripping my legs tightly around him, I heightened the intensity of my thrusts, wanting to push him over the edge. With one hand, he gripped my comforter tight as he found his release, moaning into the curve of my neck. Tremors of satisfaction electrified his body as I held him tight, my hands clutching the muscles of his back.
