“I don’t care,” I reply. “Do you?”
“I suppose not.” She runs her hand around my neck and gazes at me.
Yes, I want her naked right now. Yes, I want to be as close as it’s possible to be. Yes, I want to lick, suck, push, pull—fuck. But I also want to stay right here and gaze at this incredible woman for the rest of my life.
“I think we need to try out the bed.” She pulls out of my arms and heads around the seating area to the other side of the room, where the bed is. “Olga says we need to understand luxury.” She pulls her shirt over her head and unzips her jeans. “That’s why we’re here. She says we have to make use of all the facilities.” She turns as I stalk toward her, stripping my clothes off as I go.
“Sounds like good advice. We can start with the bed. Then the shower. Bath. Sofa. Floor. Maybe even up against the window.”
She blushes and it’s adorable. “Everywhere other than the window works for me. My agoraphobia is improved but that’s a step too far.” She’s in nothing but her underwear and I don’t know where to look. This woman is going to be my wife. She’s mine forever, and I’m hers.
“You’re beautiful,” I say. “And kind and funny and smart and sexy and I’m glad we get to hang out forever.”
Her mouth curls up into a smile. “Samesies.” I’ve stripped completely. She steps toward me, rises on tiptoes and links her hands behind my neck. “You’re beautiful,” she says. “And kind and funny and smart and sexy and I’m glad we get to hang out forever. And I know we’ve got the rest of our lives, but I’d like the rest of our lives to start now.”
I bend to kiss her, pressing the small of her back so we slot together just like we’ve done from that first night together. Our tongues slide together and it’s so fucking cheesy but it feels like we’re moving as one person, or like she was designed just for me. She’s fucking incredible and I get to marry her. How the hell did I get so lucky?
I break our kiss to grab a condom.
“Do we have to?” she asks. “I’ve been tested and…everything. I mean, I’m fine.”
“Me too,” I say, a little too quickly. She doesn’t need to know that I got tested once a month until I met her. Since her, there’s been no one else.
There will never be again.
My cock strains at the thought of being inside her soon, but I’m going to force myself to be patient. I want to focus on Kate.
I walk us over to the bed and lay her down on her back. She props herself up on her elbows, releases the catch on her bra and discards it, and I remove her panties.
Smoothing my hands over her thighs, I spread her legs, and lick between them and up, up, up to her clit, over her stomach and between her breasts. She shudders underneath me, her quiet groans seeming to grip and release my cock like a fist. I take her nipple in my mouth and circle and suck. She bucks underneath me, her fingers in my hair, her leg wrapping around mine.
“Vincent,” she calls. “I want you. All of you.”
She lifts my chin from her breast and we lock gazes. “You’re a generous lover, always thinking about me, but right now—this time—I want it to be about us. I want you on me, over me, inside me.”
I growl. “Kate.” I shake my head. “I don’t know how long I’ll last if—”
She places her fingers over my lips. “Me neither.”
I rub my palms over my face and take a deep breath. “I’m about to lose points here,” I say.
“Well, I’ve already agreed to marry you. And etiquette demands that I give the ring back if I call things off before the wedding, and that’s not going to happen, so it looks like I’m stuck with you, no matter what.”
I chuckle, circle the base of my cock and anchor my hand on her hip. I press into her, slowly, carefully, trying not to be overawed at how good she feels.
At how good we are. Together.
I start to move. Tentatively at first, because I want to try and make this last, but it’s no use.
She feels too good. She’s tight and wet and the way she huffs out my name, claws at my chest—I just want to be closer, get closer.
She’s fucking irresistible.
I don’t know if it’s the relentless rhythm, but it’s only seconds before I feel her tighten around me.
“Vincent,” she cries. “Oh god.”
She’s close and thank god, because I can feel that rumble of my orgasm in the distance and it’s coming for me at speed.
