“I need more,” I pant.

He chuckles. “Greedy girl.”

“Only for you.”

“I need a bed.”

I laugh. “I don’t know, this is kinda romantic.”

He shakes his head. “No, I need room to move around. I want every single inch of you, Sage Lawson. I’ve waited for more than ten years to have you in my bed. I’m not gonna waste it by rushing.”

His words shoot straight to my core and I grip my arms around him tighter.

“So take me,” I say, meaning every single word.

FYNN

I lifther out of the bath, and she wraps herself around me.

Good God, I’ve never seen anything quite so hot as Sage Lawson coming on my dick, and I’m not even inside her yet.

I don’t think I’ve ever been this hard.

I love how she clings to me like I’m her everything. Like she never wants to let me go.

And now I’ve got her here, I plan on taking my sweet time. There is nowhere else either of us needs to be. And that’s exactly how I want it.

I grab a towel from the rail and set her down on the cool tiles for a moment while I quickly dry her off. She’s stunning without clothes on. Her breasts are small but perky, her cherry red nipples ready for me to suck on.

“Your body, Sage,” I murmur. “You’re so beautiful.”

And it’s true. I’ve never seen anything so stunning. I can’t even believe she is standing in front of me like this, like no time has passed between us. And I feel it from my head down to my toes, and everything in between.

She’s always had this power over me, I can’t deny it. And I no longer want to.

The revelation about her, not being with a man for ten years… well, that caught me off guard.

I never thought anyone could shock me like this, but she has tonight. Even if I like the idea that she hasn’t had a man in her bed, it still makes me sad about the circumstances surrounding it. No one deserves that. Especially not Sage.

This feels good. What we have between us, it’s like nothing else. Sure, there’ve been other women, but I’ve never felt this way about anybody.

There is nobody like Sage.

I carry her into the bedroom, then lay her down on the bed. She’s finally where I needed her to be, where she’s safe, where I’ll always take care of her.

And that’s the best feeling in the world.

“Do you know how beautiful you look?” I say, unable to take my eyes off her. I scan the full length of her body as she leans back, looking up at me with those beautiful jade-green eyes. I will never get enough of her eyes that render me powerless.

If she didn’t know, the power she has over me, she will soon.

“How beautiful?” she asks, her voice soft.

“So fucking beautiful.” I grind my teeth. I have to be gentle with her, but all I want to do is shove my hard cock inside her and burrow myself for the rest of the night.

But I can’t.
