Page 43 of When I Found You

“Is this what you wanted?” I pull her close and slide the tip over her sensitive cleft.

Her gasp ends on a moan. “Yes.” She clings tightly to me, her fingernails biting into my shoulders, when I push inside.

Kate tosses her head back. I sink deeper until I’m seated fully inside her. Fuck, she fits like a favorite pair of gloves. Her body grips me tight.

“How does that feel?” I nip the tender spot on her throat right below her ear. She shivers and holds tight.

“So good.” She bites her lower lip and meets my gaze.

I kiss her and move, starting slowly and gently increasing momentum. She’s tight and warm. It’s been so long since I’ve been with anyone, I’m worried I may come too quickly.

Kate meets my thrusts with her own. I let her take control of the pace. She urges me faster. I close my eyes trying to keep from ending this before it’s even had a chance to start.

She gently presses her hand to my heart. “Lie down.”

“Something wrong?” I move to pull out, but she stops me.

With a little effort, she rolls me onto my back without unsheathing me from her warmth. Staring up at her, I’m struck dumb. She’s fucking stunning as she shucks the top and shakes her hair back.

Her bewitching gaze locks on mine and she grinds her hips down taking me deeper than before.

“Holy shit.” I rest my hands on her hips and inhale deep. “You’re gonna make me lose control if you do that, sweetheart.”

“Mmmm, I like the thought of you losing control.” She leans forward, her hair creating a curtain of dark waves around her flushed face. “I won’t break. I like it rough.”

The thought alone gives my cock a burst of strength. “Show me, baby.” I lick my dry lips. “Take what you want.”

She pouts. I wrap my hand around her delicate throat and kiss her mouth firmly. “I’ll give you what you need later.”

Her eyes glitter with lust and her hips buck against mine. She thrusts at her own pace, slowly increasing the tempo, using me until she’s panting.

“That’s it, sweetheart. Come for me.” The words trigger something inside her.

Kate’s mouth opens on a breathless scream, and I hold my fingertips against her pulse. She rubs her clit against me enough to trigger her climax. I drop my hands to her hips and thrust up, pounding into her until my own release rushes up and capsizes us both in a listless ocean of sexual satisfaction.

Weak from the intensity of her orgasm, she collapses against my chest. I wrap my arms around her and hold her close. Slowly, our overheated bodies cool and our breathing slows. I run my fingers along her spine, stroking her like a contented kitten curled in my lap.

I’ve never had sex rock me to my core. Even with the most enthusiastic lovers, sex was passable at best. Normally I’d find any excuse to leave, but now I’m desperate for any reason to stay, to keep her like this forever. But, holy hell, this is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced.

My heartbeat mimics hers. How is it possible to be so synchronized with someone at such a basic level and yet be practical strangers? One thing is certain, I want to know everything about her. What she likes. Her favorite things. What makes her smile.

Fate may have blindsided me when she appeared in my life. I was a fool to fight it, but now I have no intention of letting her go.

I slowly roll her onto the bed and kiss her forehead before pulling the blanket over her.

She sighs sleepily and smiles. “Where are you going?”

“To clean up.” I kiss her head again. “Rest now. I have plans for you.”

“Promises, promises.” Kate snuggles deeper into the blankets.

Halfway to the bathroom, I glance over my shoulder at the woman in my bed.

Kate looks so vulnerable and sated. A warmth infuses me and wraps its tendrils around my heart. I didn’t expect to find someone who would make me feel this much contentment.

In the bathroom, I toss the condom into the trash and turn on the shower. The heat renews my energy. Under the spray, I wash away the uncertainty and regrets. This is a new day, a new opportunity. I wash the sweat from my skin, but the memories remain. When I close my eyes to rinse off the soap, a sweet floral scent surrounds me.

The press of her body against mine has my cock jumping in response.
