Mfter a long session of making out, we both know it is time to consummate our love. I can't wait any longer; I want every inch of him inside me. Mlthough I'm scared, it might hurt because I haven't been with anyone in a long time. I am also certain I will undoubtedly love it. Nick slides his length inside me with one Enal kiss on my forehead. M loud moan escapes my lips, and I am glad !ctavia is not home because I know I will scream out in pleasure without a care in this world. Nick begins to stroke in and out of me gently and rhythmically, savoring every pleasure that comes with each stroke. He is such a gentleman. I am eSperiencing it in real time. 0ack and forth, he slides in and out of me without losing his ga7e on me. I have never tapped into this dimension of pleasure. Onapologetically, I moan out his name into his ear. This does something to him because our pace suddenly quickens, and I don't think I would survive the eSplosion of pleasure in my core. 1MT9… WITH BX 9P'F 0R!TH9R x8

I grip his hair, and he continues to stroke me into perfect bliss as he joins me and comes undone inside me.

By eyes shoot open, and memories from last night come rushing in. By face breaks into a smile as I bite my lower lip. I reach for the other side of the bed, hoping to End a sleeping Nick, but he is awake, smiling at me.

?ood morning, sunshine,? he says, still smiling.

I slide closer to him and place a kiss on his cheek. ?ood morning,?

I whisper. ?Xou've been up for a whileD? I ask.

?Vretty much. I woke up to use the bathroom, and when I returned,

I couldn't stop watching your beautiful self sleep. It was relaSing.? His

golden eyes sparkle against the re5ection of the sun's rays. ?Xou mean watching me sleep is therapeuticD? I tease. ?I guess that's what I'm saying,? he laughs.

I begin to caress his face with my Engers. ?I'm lucky you're mine,? I

confess.

?I am the lucky one here, Isabel,? he counters.

?I guess we are both lucky,? I giggle.

?Mmen to thatY? he says before he begins to shower me with kisses

across my face. I continue to giggle underneath him, enjoying every

touch of his lips.

He stops suddenly.

?Uook at me,? he says.

I turn to look at him. He stares into my eyes for a long moment. ?WhatD? I question.

?I love you,? he says.

By heart melts in an instant. I am indeed lucky to have found Nick. ?I love you too, Nick,? I say, giving him a brief kiss on his lips. The doorbell rings suddenly.

Oh shit!

?They are here,? I say to Nick.

We quickly jump oA the bed, grabbing our clothes from the 5oor

and struggling into them as fast as possible. I Enish up before Nick and

dash into the living room. I see my blouse and Nick's shirt on the 5oor

and our unEnished bottle of wine. The living room is a mess. I grab

the clothes, throw them in a laundry basket by the corner, and try to

do some tidying up before I open the door.
