I chuckle, and the movement makes me sink even deeper inside her. I groan so loud it echoes across the room. As I brush my fingers across her cheek, I stare down into her wide, dazed eyes. A small smile tugs at my lips. “I think this might be the first time I’ve ever made a woman lose the ability to comprehend language.”

“What?” Her eyes grow even more confused, and a familiar feeling seizes my chest.

I can’t deny it any longer.

This feeling is love.

I’ve always loved her.

I slip my hands around her hips and cup her soft bare ass. After gripping firmly, I press my hips upward. She whimpers, and the sound of it combined with the pressure of her pussy stretching over my dick makes me hiss.

When I move harder and faster, the world around me blurs, though her face is still sharp and clear. Her eyes grow wide, and I force myself back into the present. I know her well enough now to know that she’s very close to coming, and I love watching her come.

“Touch my clit,” she begs. “Touch my clit now.”

Even in the midst of my erotic haze, a chuckle erupts from my chest. She’s so undeniably herself, even in a moment like this.

“Okay, I guess I have to do it.” She slips her hand between our slick bodies.

Glaring down at her, I reach around and slap her so hard on the side of her ass, she shrieks.

“No.” I yank her hand away. “That’s mine.” I place two fingers on her clit and rub back and forth in the motion I’ve learned she likes. She jerks back so hard that her head hits the wall behind us. I grip the back of her neck to cradle her in place. When her cunt starts to pulse around my cock, I have to clench my teeth to keep myself from coming with her. I don’t want to lose myself.

I want to watch her.

Her eyes glaze over, and she starts to whimper. She sobs when she comes, and it still marvels me. I never imagined it, even in my countless fantasies. The sight of it touches me deep inside. Her brows draw together and her lips pout as she cries out.

She releases one last whimper before going still and limp. I lower my head and press a kiss against her cheek. I whisper words into her ear that I know I’ll regret tomorrow, but I’m too overwhelmed to care. I thrust harder and faster, and when the electricity shoots through my body, I say the words aloud this time.

“I love you.”

I’m warm.

Hard arms are wrapped around my body. I pull them closer and wiggle my hips. My eyes pop open at the sharpness of his hard cock against my lower back, and memories of the night before rush over me like warm water.

I love you.

I wiggle my hips again, hoping to wake him, relishing the fact I’m locked in his arms in the morning hours. We rarely get to have morning sex—only when Cadence is at Ryder’s—and it makes me feel like we’re just another couple, taking advantage of our precious kid-free moments together.

Like our relationship is real.

When his body starts to stir, I reach my hand under the blankets, slip it behind my back, and grab his cock. I soften my grip as I rub up and down. Cam releases a groan that vibrates at the pit of my belly.

“Looks like someone didn’t get enough last night,” I say.

I’m startled when my hand is suddenly empty. I twist around as he rolls out of bed and starts marching toward the bathroom. “I don’t have time. Isaac wants to get brunch in an hour.”

He leaves the door open as he walks into the bathroom and pulls out a toothbrush from a small black case. When he squeezes toothpaste over the bristles, a notch forms between my brows. This is the first time I’ve ever seen him brush his teeth, and it’s strange to watch him do something so hauntingly domestic while he’s pushing me away.

“An hour sounds like plenty of time,” I say.

He shakes his head as he spits into the sink. “I won’t have enough time to shower, and I can’t show up at brunch smelling like pussy.”

My whole body grows cold, and I try to retreat into my head to shield myself.
