There are no guarantees in life. I know that better than anyone.
I look into her eyes and take her face in my hands. “I can’t promise you a forever of no problems. All I can promise is right now. Right now I’m here and I love you. Right now I want to be with you and make you feel safe and loved.”
Maisy’s eyes fill with tears and I pull her close, planting a soft kiss on the top of her head. I feel her relax in my arms and her breathing slows.
“I do love you,” she whispers.
“Thank fuck.”
Inside my chest, my heart swells with relief. I take her hand in mine and kiss each of her fingers. I feel her tremble as I press my lips to her palm and my cock twitches as I trace circles around her delicate wrist with my tongue.
She uses her free hand to yank my towel down. She wraps her hand around me, her small fingers tracing the veins of my shaft. My body starts to heat up, and I groan as she strokes me up and down, her thumb rubbing against the already slick head of my cock.
I carry her to the bed and remove her clothes slowly, kissing the skin revealed to me.
“Slow this time, baby girl. I’m going to taste every inch of your body until you’re nothing but a puddle on my sheets.
Maisy trembles with anticipation as I trail my tongue down her body, exploring her curves and making her moan with pleasure. I take my time, licking and sucking until every inch of her body has been worshiped in my kisses.
I make my way back down her legs, trailing my tongue along her inner thighs, her hips, and finally her pussy. I take my time, licking and sucking her until she’s panting. I move up her body, pushing my way inside her. She gasps as I fill her completely and I pause, giving her a moment to adjust.
Her tight, wet heat squeezes around me. She scratches my back and I grunt, pushing deeper as she wraps her legs around my waist.
I burrow as far into her body as I can. Maisy gasps and I rock into her, each thrust bringing us closer. We move together, pleasure building until I can no longer take it. I press my forehead to hers and I let out a long, low groan as I come, spilling deep inside her. We collapse in a sweaty, sated heap. I draw her close, our skin sticking together. I kiss her forehead, breathing in the scent of her hair.
Every time we’ve had sex has been amazing, but this time, I feel her on a new level.
“I love you,” I whisper into her ear.
She smiles, her eyes still closed in bliss. “I love you too.”
I won’t ever get tired of hearing that. But already, I feel her trying to build a new shell around her heart.
