  As the fire crackled beside us and the light from it illuminated and warmed her soft skin, I continued to move my hands over her body. With each brush of my fingers against her skin, Ekko’s breathing quickened.

  Her hands fell to my abdomen and gripped my shirt at my sides. Slowly, she began sliding my shirt up, eventually forcing me to take my hands from her body so that she could lift the fabric over my head. Once it was off, I wrapped an arm around her waist as my other hand went to her shoulder blade. Taking my time, I slid my hand underneath the strap of her bra and allowed my fingers to move up over the top of her shoulder, where I pressed a kiss before pulling the strap down her arm.

  My mouth trailed kisses over her collarbone toward her neck. Ekko dropped her head back, giving me better access while she rocked her hips over me. I lifted my other hand to the middle of her back and unhooked her bra. Reluctantly, I pulled my mouth back from her throat and watched as the lace-trimmed fabric fell from her body.

  She was perfect.

  Absolutely spectacular.

  I lifted my gaze from her flawless breasts to her seductive eyes.

  “You’re beautiful,” I rasped.

  A smile tugged at her lips. As much as I wanted to continue to stare at her, I wanted to pleasure her even more. My hands cupped her breasts and both thumbs swiped over her nipples. The moan she let out shot straight to my dick. Unable to wait any longer, I lowered my mouth to her. Closing my mouth over one nipple, I licked and sucked as my fingers continued to play with the other one.

  Ekko’s hands were at my shoulders, her fingernails digging into my skin. I didn’t know how it was possible, but she managed to grind her pussy down on my cock even harder than she already had been.

  Fuck.

  I wanted that warmth.

  The warmth that would come along with being deep inside her.

  I switched sides, teasing her other breast with my mouth. She made it clear that she thoroughly enjoyed it. She moaned and whimpered, her desperation for more becoming more and more evident.

  “Dom,” she breathed, her voice a desperate plea. “Please.”

  I couldn’t deny her any longer.

  Hell, I couldn’t deny myself any longer.

  “Mouth,” I demanded.

  Ekko gave me her mouth as my hands dropped to the waistband of her pants. I unbuttoned them and started moving them down her hips. Ekko, keeping her mouth connected to mine, shifted on my lap, allowing me to remove her pants. Then, I had her sexy, little body in nothing but a pair of panties straddling me.

  My hands were instantly at her ass, squeezing.

  It wasn’t enough.

  Not for her.

  Definitely not for me.

  Her hands left my body and moved to her hips. This time, she broke the connection with my mouth as she shimmied out of her panties.

  Completely naked, Ekko’s desperately hungry eyes came to mine. She was silently pleading with me for something…anything I could give her.

  I didn’t make her wait.

  Gripping one hip in my hand, I brought my other one right to the spot between her legs. The instant my fingers slid through her wetness and I heard her moan, I knew I was gone for her. I applied a bit more pressure and rubbed my hand over her.

  Ekko’s breathing grew louder.

  I wanted more from her and I knew she was eager for it.

  I slipped one finger inside her and the moment I did one of her hands gripped my shoulder while the other captured her breast. As my finger moved in and out of her, I watched as Ekko’s entire body responded to the pleasure.

  She was gorgeous.

  Her head was down to the side, her eyes closed, and her lips parted. Her chest was rising and falling rapidly, and her hand was massaging one of her breasts. Her hips angled toward me, seeking further gratification.

  She was so tight. I couldn’t wait to have her wrapped around me.

  A second finger entered her, and my pace picked up. I put my mouth to her free breast, sucking it in and teasing her hardened bud with flicks of my tongue.

  Her hand left her breast and wrapped around the back of my head, holding me to her.

  “Please, baby,” she breathed.

  Hearing her call me baby did me in. There wasn’t anything I wouldn’t give to her. I moved quicker, her moans grew louder. Mere seconds passed before she clamped down on my fingers, her nails dug into the skin at my shoulder, and she moaned through her orgasm. I had to pull back from her to watch. I needed to see her come apart.

  Despite the cold, there was a sheen of sweat on her skin. She was gorgeous.

  Her satisfied eyes came to mine.

  “Kiss me, sugar.”

  Ekko brought her lips to mine and kissed. With her tongue in my mouth, I began moving my fingers inside her again. She pulled back just a touch and pleaded with me, “I want you, Dom. Please…tell me I can have you. Make my birthday wish come true.”

  She could have me.

  I’d wanted this for months. And after having witnessed her coming, there was no way I wasn’t going to see that again. Only this time, I’d make sure it happened with my cock inside her.

  I brought both hands to her hips, grinned at her, and replied, “You’re getting all of me tonight.”

  Hopefulness turned to relief in her face before she dropped her hands to my jeans. She worked to get them open, then lifted so I could raise myself and help her slide them down my legs. I pulled my wallet out of the back pocket, tossed the jeans to the side, and set the wallet on the table beside us.

  Ekko began moving her body down mine, her hands traveling all over my torso. She’d occasionally dip her head and kiss me, her lips covering multiple spots on my chest and abdomen. The lower she descended, the harder I got. When her fingers gripped the waistband of my boxer briefs, I stopped breathing.

  This woman.

  This beautiful fucking woman.

  There was no doubt she’d be my undoing.

  Ekko slid the material down my legs, freeing me. Her eyes widened at the sight of me, her gaze focused on just that one part of my body. After she tossed my underwear to the side, she wrapped her hand around me.

  It had been too long. Way too long.

  I groaned.

  “You’re really big,” she worried, nervously biting her lip.

  Wrapping an arm around her waist, I lifted up and flipped her over to her back. It caught her by surprise, but she quickly recovered when I settled myself over her.

  “I think we’ll fit together perfectly.”

  This didn’t seem to ease her concern, so I added, “But I’ll still go slow. I won’t hurt you, Ekko.”

  She gave me a nod of understanding.

  I lifted up, reached out for my wallet, and grabbed a condom. I kept my eyes on Ekko as she watched me sheath myself.

  She licked her lips.

  Fuck.

  Positioning myself at her entrance, I confirmed, “You good?”

  “Yes.”

  Slowly, almost painfully slow for me, I pushed about halfway inside and gave her a minute to adjust to my size. I pulled back and pushed forward again, just as slow as the first time. The difference this time was that I had filled her. I stayed there, resting on my forearms, planted to the root of my cock, and croaked, “Are you okay?”

  For the first time since meeting her, I couldn’t read her eyes and I started to worry that I had hurt her.

  “Ekko,” I called. “Talk to me, sugar.”

  “You’re perfect for me, Dom,” she exclaimed, a clear surprise in her tone.

  I pressed a quick kiss to her lips and said, “I told you we’d fit together.”

  She smiled up at me and begged, “Please move.”

  I wasted not another second and moved. I started slowly but quickly found a gradual, steady rhythm so that I could prolong this with her. It had been months since I’d been with anyone and the last thing I wanted was to not deliver for her. With each thrust, Ekko rewarded me. She alternated between closing
her eyes and moaning with delight or arching her back and holding on tight. Either way, I didn’t care. I loved watching her.

  Eventually, I lifted my chest from her and shifted my weight to the palms of my hands. My pace picked up and, within seconds, Ekko was on the verge. I moved quicker, feeling myself getting closer, but knowing I wanted to watch her when she came apart for the first time with me inside her.

  “Dom,” she breathed.

  My name coming from her when she was like this, filled with me, had me close to losing control.

  “Baby, I’m going to come,” she let out.

  “Take it, sugar. Let me see you come apart for me.”

  Ekko exploded, her body trembling as her orgasm tore through her. Her body was flushed, the light from the fire illuminating her skin. I’d never seen anything more beautiful in my life.

  When she came down from her orgasm and I knew I’d satisfied her, I powered harder into her. It didn’t take much longer and just a few thrusts later, I gripped the side of the lounge chair with all my strength and buried myself inside her. Ekko’s arms wrapped around my neck and she pulled me toward her. I felt her tongue at my throat and that’s when I groaned through my orgasm. Ekko’s mouth continued to move along my throat until I finished and dropped my head to her.

  I lowered her to her back, slanted my head, and dipped my tongue inside her mouth. She took it and gave back just as good. Pulling back a minute later, I rested my forehead against hers and we struggled to catch our breath.

  “Wow,” she whispered, still out of breath.

  I closed my eyes a few seconds, smiled, and agreed, “Yeah. Wow.”

  A minute later, I pulled myself from her body and announced, “I’ll be right back.”

  I moved to dispose of the condom and when I returned a few minutes later, I nearly fell to my knees. Ekko was on the lounge chair, still completely naked, her arms bent up with her hands beside her head, her eyes looking up at me, and a smile of utter fulfillment on her face. Blinking slowly, she shared, “I can’t move. My body no longer works.”

  I let out a laugh as I lowered myself to the side of the chair next to her and said, “I’ll take care of you.”

  My hands moved to her legs, where I began separating her thighs.

  Ekko tensed.

  “What are you doing?”

  “Seeing to you,” I answered as I put a warm cloth between her legs.

  I looked up at her and initially saw hesitation in her face. A few seconds passed before she relaxed and dropped her head back to the chair.

  After I took care of her, I snagged the blanket from the foot of the lounger and fixed it to cover her before I climbed under, shifted her body, and curled her into me.

  We stayed like that for a long while in silence. I knew she hadn’t fallen asleep; I could feel it in her body. But I left her to her thoughts for a while. After some time had passed, she finally spoke.

  “Thank you, Dom.”

  The chair shook with my laughter. “Sugar, I can’t even begin to guess what you could possibly be thinking you need to thank me for.”

  “I’m not sure I could ever come close to thanking you for everything I should, but I’ll say this for now. Thank you for giving me this today. For giving me my first ever birthday celebration. And I hope you know that even though I’m extremely grateful for the meaningful gifts you gave me earlier tonight, what today means to me has nothing to do with receiving those presents and everything to do with the fact that you believe I’m worthy of them when nobody else has ever done something like this for me. But that’s not even the half of it. It’s really all about you. Just you and the person you are.”

  I remained silent, unable to respond to her.

  Apparently, Ekko wasn’t finished because she completely gutted me when she continued, “I’m really starting to feel something strong for you, Dom. And it scares me. I’ll never understand how I could have been so unlucky in my life with just about everything else and still somehow managed to deserve the privilege of knowing someone like you. After all these years, I finally know what it’s like to matter to someone. But what scares me most is that with the way my life has been, I know I’ve just set myself up for serious heartache. When that time comes, I want you to know that I’ll hold on to this memory, this day and especially this night, for the rest of my life.”

  “Ekko, look at me,” I demanded.

  She tipped her head back and looked up at me.

  “I want to make you promises about what lies ahead, but I can’t do that because I don’t know what will happen. I’ve felt something for you for months now, and that feeling just got a whole lot stronger. I like what we have between us and I hope it stays good. If it starts not working for either one of us, know that you’ll always matter to me. I’m sorry you never had that from anyone before, but I can promise you’ll always have that from me moving forward.”

  She closed her eyes and let out a sigh of relief before she cuddled further into me. I held her tighter. I couldn’t imagine how it must have been for her all her life feeling like she never really was important to anyone. I hated that she ever had to experience it, but I also knew I’d make sure she never felt that from me.

  A few minutes passed before I spoke again. “So just before things took a turn to a really nice place out here, you mentioned that you’re not working tomorrow. Does that mean I can convince you to spend the night with me?”

  I felt her smile against my chest.

  “I was really hoping you’d invite me to spend the night,” she replied. “I miss your bed.”

  Well, that wasn’t exactly what I had hoped to hear.

  “Of course,” she started again. “As much as I miss the bed, I mostly miss being wrapped up by you while I sleep.”

  That was much more like it.

  Ekko and I stayed outside by the fire for a little while longer. I would have held her there all night, but it was going to get too cold out overnight. So, when I knew that she’d started giving in to sleep, I put out the fire, picked her up, and carried her to my bed, where I wrapped her in my arms and held her close.

  Sometime in the middle of the night, Ekko woke me up with her mouth wrapped around me.

  Ekko had been worried that she was setting herself up for heartache. I couldn’t know for sure, but I didn’t think it was possible to find any reason for not wanting to be with her. Being woken up like that in the middle of the night wasn’t something I thought I’d ever want to give up.

  The sound of my own moaning woke me.

  It took about point two seconds for me to figure out that I wasn’t dreaming. I was in Dom’s bed, legs spread, with his face between them.

  He was feasting on me.

  And he was doing one heck of a job of it, too.

  “Baby,” I whimpered.

  Noting I had woken, Dom pulled his mouth back a fraction of an inch and declared, “Just returning the favor.”

  I smiled inwardly. After being with Dom for the first time last night on his deck and experiencing the single best night of my entire life, Dom carried me up to his bed. We both fell asleep, but sometime in the middle of the night, I woke up craving him. I figured it might be a welcome surprise to wake him with my mouth.

  Dom was content to let me play with him for quite some time before he hauled me up his body and had me ride him. Being in control, I went above and beyond to make him feel good. After our middle-of-the-night rendezvous, we fell back asleep.

  Until now.

  I was being pleasured by the hottest, kindest, strongest, gentlest man I’d ever met. From the moment I had met him, Dom always amazed me with what seemed like an effortless ability to do anything. From the simplest of things to the most daunting tasks. And through all of that, I’m not sure why I was surprised at just how incredibly talented he was at oral sex.

  Dom sucked on my clit as he pumped a finger inside me. Quickly, he’d brought me to the point of no return and, within minutes of waking, I climaxed. Dom worked me throu
gh my orgasm before he shifted on the bed, grabbed a condom, and slid inside.

  After he delivered a second and third orgasm, he found his release and collapsed on the bed beside me. Dom disposed of the condom and we then both took a few minutes to catch our breath.

  I was on my back, my arms resting on the pillow just above my head, when he curled into me, resting his head on my shoulder, and draping his arm over my body just below my breasts.

  And that was it.

  Everything we did to each other’s bodies over the last several hours was magnificent. We’d both managed to experience incredible physical pleasure, but for me, it was so much more than that.

  It was in the cuddling afterward. The way he held me close. His fingers running through my hair or tracing delicately down my arm. The constant touch. I hadn’t realized how much I’d been craving it until he gave it to me. Those whisper touches made me feel for the first time in my life that I was not only wanted but also like I mattered. Truly mattered.

  Knowing now how that felt, I wasn’t sure how I’d ever be able to live without that feeling again.

  “Good morning,” I finally said after a few minutes had passed.

  “Morning, sugar.”

  “That was nice of you,” I teased.

  Dom let out a laugh and explained, “I figured it was only fair considering you took the liberty to be nice to me in the middle of the night.”

  “So you’re just trying to keep the playing field level, then?”

  Dom lifted his head and asked, “Ekko, you just came three times. Add to that the one time in the middle of the night and the two times out on the deck and I’d say this is definitely not a level playing field.”

  Feeling a bit embarrassed, I looked away and mumbled, “It’s been a while.”

  Dom turned my head toward his and grinned. “There’s no need to feel humiliated, Ekko. It’s been a while for me, too.”

  My eyes widened in shock and I confirmed, “It has?”

  His chin jerked downward.
