“Is it always going feel this way between us?”
Ava’s eyelashes tickled my bare, sweaty chest. She ran her fingers through the trail of hair on my lower stomach. Her touch was sensational and caused my nerves to tingle and my blood to warm and flow more and more quickly through my veins. I shifted my body to get another look at her. Our legs were intertwined and our skin stuck together from the damp heat.
“What do you mean?” My finger brushed across her now swollen lips.
“I mean us. This passion between us. I can’t ever get enough of you. I don’t ever want to stop when it comes to you and me. I can never seem to satisfy the lust I have for you when we are alone. Surley, that feeling, this passion can’t last forever.”
“Our love for each other will last forever, Ava. Our love and everything that comes with it will never cease. Our lives may change as we grow together but the feelings I have for you and the passion that those feelings evoke will always remain.”
“You feel it too, right?”
My breath hitched in my chest. “I am obsessed. I am fixated on you. I cannot believe you are my wife. The notion that you are mine strikes me as a miracle. I will spend an eternity watching you, Ava and kissing you and satisfying you and it still won't be long enough for me. I feel the pull between us. Withdrawal from you will cause my death.”
She moved her hand from my stomach and touched her lips to mine and we did not close our eyes for rest until the gulls began to cry at daybreak.
