“You’re incredible,” I whisper, brushing a stray strand away from her eyes.

She turns on her side and gazes at me. The hint of a smile comes onto her luscious lips that look swollen and red from my kisses.

“You’re so beautiful,” I say, pulling her against me and kissing the top of her head. “Beautiful, sweet, and absolutely perfect.”

Her smile brightens as she closes her eyes and rests her face against my chest.

Wrapping an arm around her, I pull a blanket over us. Utter bliss flows through me as I finally close my eyes.

Iris

My eyes slowly blink open. The pale light of dawn filters through the closed curtains, illuminating the room in shades of black and gray.

I catch Caleb’s silhouette in the corner of the room. A towel is tied low at his waist as he begins putting on a shirt. The artificial fragrance of soap and shampoo hangs in the air. His movements are hurried but he makes no noise as he gets dressed, probably to make sure I remain undisturbed.

I’m about to sit up but realize I’m naked under the sheets.

Warmth pools into my cheeks as memories of last night rush through my mind. It was my first time being intimate with Caleb. His every touch and swipe of tongue turned me into a moaning, trembling mess.

Grabbing the sheet, I bring it up to my neck and sit up.

The slight rustle of the blankets makes him turn around. His gaze finds mine and he smiles.

“Did I wake you?” he asks, walking toward me.

I shake my head.

He switches on the bedside lamp, bathing the space in a warm glow. Wrapping his fingers around the back of my neck, he leans in and captures my lips in a tender kiss.

Liquid fire rushes through my veins. A tendril of heat coils around my core, making it throb with need. My pussy feels sore but I’m still hungry for more.

My hands cup both sides of his face as I deepen the kiss.

The sheet slides down, baring me to him completely. His hand moves down, palming a breast and squeezing while his tongue dances around mine.

A moan escapes me.

“Iris...” he utters breathlessly as he breaks the kiss. “You have no idea how much I hate saying this but I’ve got to get ready for work.”

Disappointment flickers through me but I don’t let it show.

“What’s the time?” I ask.

“Close to seven,” he says, sitting down on the edge of the bed. “Here, you go,” he adds, handing me my dress that’s been folded neatly.

“Thanks,” I say and hurry to cover myself.

“How’re you feeling?” He asks, looking oddly serious.

“I’m fine,” I say with a confused grin.

He lets out a heavy breath and rakes his fingers through his hair. “I’m afraid I was too rough with you,” he says in a low, anxious voice. “I tried my best to be gentle. It’s just that I’ve only ever been with Julian and he’s so much stronger and bigger than you.”

So, that’s the reason his anxious gaze is roving all over me, checking me for injuries.

Caleb has never looked so cute.
