He kissed his way up my legs until his mouth connected with my outer lips. He kissed and nibbled them, finally moving to my clit. He sucked on the bud deeply, then teased it with his tongue. I was frantic by this point, and all kinds of incoherent words and noises spilled from my mouth.

My legs trembled and shockwaves consumed my body as he continued to tease me. I felt two fingers inside me, which I clutched at with my internal muscles. My hands were in his hair while I bucked without shame against his face. With one last suck, I was falling into the abyss of my orgasm. The aftershocks continued to assault my body and my heart hammered inside my chest. Ben looked up from between my legs, and I swear I’d never seen anything hotter than his lust-filled gaze.

Without a word, he removed his boxers. I wanted to take him in my mouth. My hunger must have been evident in my eyes, and he shook his head.

“I can’t wait a moment longer. I need to be inside you, Rubes. Loving you how a man should love a woman.”

The honesty of his words consumed me. I didn’t dare say anything out loud because I’d end up crying. So, I nodded instead.

I spread my legs wide in offering, welcoming him to share my body. He crawled up me and gifted me with the most beautiful kiss full of love and promise. Not just a promise for our lovemaking, but our future life together.

I felt the warm tip of him nudging inside me. He stilled, his eyes conveying everything to me.

“I want you to keep your eyes on mine, beautiful. We need to share this special moment together.”

I lost it then, and a single tear leaked from the corner of my eye. He bent his mouth to capture it as he moved inside me. The sensation of finally sharing my body with this gorgeous, caring man was something that would never grow old. And when he was buried to the hilt, he placed another kiss on my lips. I managed to wrap my legs around his waist, taking him as deep as I could.

Then we were moving together in the beautiful act of lovemaking. It was slow at first, both of us enjoying the friction each movement gave us. But as we headed towards orgasm, the movements became jerkier and unrestrained. My legs started to shake again, sparks skittering across every inch of my skin. And still we held eye contact. He was close. I was close. And just as I was about to voice that fact, he slammed into me. My climax was powerful and chaotic. I clutched at him, which brought on his own orgasm.

And then we clung to one another, his face buried in my neck as we continued to move through our climaxes. He said my name over and over, and I whispered his name too. After our breathing had had a chance to calm, Ben lifted his head to look at me. In his eyes were unshed tears; mine were brimming with them too.

I reached up one shaky hand to stroke his face. “I love you.”

A gentle smile curved his mouth. “I love you too, Rubes.”

He moved so that we faced one another, and we studied each other while our hands stroked the other’s skin. No words were said, our eyes conveyed how we felt. When he withdrew, I whimpered my protest.

“It’s okay, beautiful. I’m not going anywhere without you.”

He lifted me off the bed and into his arms like I weighed nothing at all.

“Ben, I’m not that light.”

He laughed at my protest. “I would say I’m used to handling much heavier animals, but I don’t know how you’d react to that.”

I giggled and nuzzled his neck. “Where are you taking me?”

“To my ensuite to take care of you.”

That statement puzzled me. “Do you mean round two already, in your shower?”

He chuckled. “So eager for me again, Miss James?”

“Well, I’m game if you are.”

“We’ll see, but first I’d like to clean you up if you’ll let me. You’re mine now, and it’s my job to take care of you in all aspects of our life.”

Maybe some women would find that a little creepy, but I loved the fact that he wanted to care for me.

“I have one request.”

“Oh, and what’s that?”

“As long as you let me take care of you too. You mean the world to me, Ben, and I want to do whatever I can to make you happy.”

His eyes misted over again. “Just knowing that you love me is enough.”
