“You are so sexy, Heather,” he murmured. “Just lie back and relax.”
He kissed all the way down my body as he settled between my thighs, his broad shoulders spreading me wide as he wasted no time diving in. Steve made a low groaning sound deep in his throat as his tongue slowly glided across my delicate skin. “You’re delicious, baby. I love how wet you are for me.”
I felt like my entire body was swollen and begging for him. He ran one fingertip around my sensitive little button, making me jump and gasp.
Leaning in again, his hot breath against my skin made my pulse race. Trembling, I tilted my hips, pressing myself against his tongue as he began to lap steadily. I moaned as he lifted my hips, licking and kissing me absolutely everywhere.
Then he flashed me a saucy grin. “This is the prettiest little pussy I’ve ever seen, sweetheart. Just relax and let me know what you like.”
His hot, wet tongue moved slowly, dancing around my opening, teasing just a tiny bit inside. I was shocked by how empty I felt. Like I needed him to fill me.
As if he could interpret that by my little gasps, he brought his finger to my entrance, circling slowly while he dragged his tongue more roughly against my nub of nerves. I was trying not to squirm, but it felt like my insides were being tightened, about to snap at any moment. His thick finger slid a bit deeper, making me moan.
The way Steve looked up at me, his eyes half-lidded with lust, made me feel like the luckiest woman in the world. He was so absolutely dedicated to me that I was spoiled with his attention after just a few days. And although I didn’t have the nerve to tell him quite yet, I hoped that he would take me completely in a few minutes.
Once again, the decision made itself. The second I mentally asked the question, the answer was already there. Now that I knew he would be taking me, the arousal coursing through me could not be contained.
He began licking me more earnestly, his finger easing gently inside as I twitched and gasped. My hands reached down to grip the back of his neck as I moaned, “Yes… Please…”
I couldn’t believe the pleasure that was coursing through me as I lost myself completely. My hips began to rock up against him, as he flattened his tongue and licked me steadily.
Seeing the desire in his eyes, knowing how much he wanted me, and the sensation of being so open for him… It was too much to take. I felt like I was falling off a cliff as I screamed wordlessly, shaking as every muscle tensed, waves of heat rolling through me like a storm passing through.
“Wow,” I gasped weakly when I could find the breath.
Steve lapped up more of my juices, then moved up to kiss my lips gently. His eyes absolutely blazed. “That was the hottest thing I’ve ever seen in my life,” he said gently.
I answered by pulling his shirt from his shoulders, making him chuckle. “Are you saying you want more?”
“Yes,” I said, trying to make my voice sound steady. “I need you.”
“It’s probably too soon, baby,” he murmured, but I was busy trying to unfasten his belt.
“Please,” I whispered, “I’ve waited long enough. I already know that you’re the one. Like you said – once you know, it’s already a done deal. Right?”
“Your wish is my command, darling.”
He stood up, unfastening his belt and dropping his pants and shorts to the floor. This gave me an exquisite look at his broad, muscular chest. His waist narrowed into a delicious V, then my eyes probably grew huge as I stared at the long, thick shaft between his legs.
Reaching into his bedside table, he grabbed a little packet, quickly rolling on a condom. As he laid over me, he slipped his finger inside me again, this time quite a bit deeper, as if he were testing how tight I was. “Are you sure, Heather?” he asked.
From the way his eyes were burning into mine, there was nothing else in the entire world that I wanted more than him inside me. “Yes.”
“I’ll be as careful as I can, sweetheart. I don’t want to hurt you.”
“You won’t,” I said, my voice feeling very small.
Although I was definitely nervous, I was also so curious, excited, and so aroused that I wouldn’t have stopped for anything.
As a second finger moved inside me, he captured my mouth in a long, sweet kiss. I couldn’t stop my soft moan, and could feel that it made him smile. As he guided just the tip into my tight little opening, I felt a flush of heat through my entire body.
“Easy, baby,” he murmured. “Try to relax.”
As he rocked very slightly, barely a half-inch inside me, he swept my hair out of my eyes, looking at me quite seriously. “Darling, this is an incredible honor for me, that you’re allowing me to be your first.”
I absolutely adored how he was a bit formal sometimes. Just a bit old-fashioned. “I trust you,” I whispered, as I felt him press the first thick inch inside.
Steve’s eyes closed for a second as he took a breath. “I wish I could tell you how perfect you feel, my angel.”
With a little effort, he pressed deeper. The feeling of his thickness stretching my inner walls was incredible. But the feeling of how tender and careful he was opened me on a completely different level.
I’d already clearly seen his feelings for me in his eyes. I realized that I should be the one to speak the words, so he wasn’t afraid to frighten me with them.
“Steve…” I whispered.
He stopped moving immediately. “I’m sorry, baby, is that too much?”
I grazed my hand along the side of his face. “It feels amazing. I just needed to tell you that I love you.”
He exhaled a giant sigh of relief, sinking inside me a tiny bit further. “Heather, sweetheart, I love you so much. I was afraid to say it since I know it’s ridiculously fast.”
“It’s okay,” I smiled. “It’s ridiculously right.”
Then he kissed me. Hard and deep. As he slowly moved deeper, inch after thick inch inside me, it felt like he was overtaking me completely.
“Yes,” I moaned as he began taking long, slow strokes.
Steve leaned back, spreading my pussy lips to show me how we were joined together. I was so relaxed, and he was so gentle, that it hadn’t really hurt. A shudder ran through me as I realized he was all the way inside. The incredible pressure was fascinating.
He leaned forward again, kissing across my forehead, my cheeks as he began to thrust slowly. “We’re going to be this close forever, sweetheart,” he murmured.
“How can anything feel this good?” I gasped. Then his thumb found my clit, circling gently as I moaned and squirmed beneath him.
“That’s it, baby. Just let go for me.”
My fingers dug into the back of his shoulders as my hips rocked up against him. Our slow, smooth rhythm seemed so natural. We were absolutely in sync in every possible way. It felt like the pleasure was building in layers, almost becoming heavy as my focus became unstable.
“Oh God, you feel so perfect, baby,” he murmured as he thrust slowly into my wetness. “I love that you’re so open for me.”
His thick thumb began swirling against my swollen button a bit quicker. “Steve,” I gasped. “I’m going to…”
A bubble of pure pressurized heat welled inside me, as his strokes became deeper and faster. “I love you, baby. Let me feel you.”
Looking into his deep, smiling eyes, something exploded deep inside me. A beautiful wave of pleasure drove through me like a tidal wave as I gasped, helpless, and shaking.
“Heather, sweetheart,” Steve rasped, then I felt his hips jolt slightly, and a strange feeling of heat deep inside me. I moaned again, reveling in the feeling of his pleasure as a long, low groan escaped him.
Then he kissed me softly, deeply, so gently I felt myself starting to tear up from how romantic it felt. He sat up, pulling me with him. “Are you okay, baby?”
I nodded. “Yeah.”
His deep chuckle made my head bounce on his shoulder a little. “I’ve never felt anything like that before,” he sai
d softly, stroking my hair as he held me.
“Mmm,” I nodded.
We fell into a bit of a daze for a while, just snuggling, and being together. I realized that the ability to be comfortably silent was another thing that my list had been missing, yet Steve and I were already there.
CHAPTER FOURTEEN
* Steve *
It took me a moment to be able to move. I’d never come that hard in my life, and somehow the deep meaning behind it made everything more intense.
After we caught our breath and cuddled for a bit, I murmured, “If you’d like to spend the night, we can bundle you up in my track pants and a t-shirt. You’ll look so cute in my clothes.”
She nodded, her cheek moving against my chest. “I guess maybe, if I’m going to stay over sometimes, I could leave a few things here? Like a toothbrush?”
“There’s already a brand new one in the washroom for you. Mine is blue, yours is pink.”
“Thanks,” she giggled, looking up at me. Then Heather sat up straighter, wearing the strangest little smile. “Everyone laughs at how much I enjoy making lists–”
“I don’t laugh, sweetheart,” I said quickly. “I think it’s both clever and adorable.”
“Okay. Well, if you really want to make room for me to stay here sometimes, we’ll be making our first list together.” Her eyes held mine, waiting for my reaction.
I kissed her softly, deeply, then grinned. “Hold on.”
I darted to the washroom to dispose of the condom and wash my hands, then came back to grab my pants from the floor and dig in my pocket. Crawling back into bed with my phone, I opened my note-taking app.
“Oh! That’s the same one I use,” she giggled.
Making a new note, I hit the microphone button so that I could dictate. “Project Heather in my home. One – get her a key first thing in the morning. Two – give her the login and password for the grocery service so everything she needs will be here.”
“Whoah, you’re giving me passwords already?” she laughed, incredulous.
Dropping the phone, I took her hands. “Sweetheart, as I’ve already told you, we’re a done deal. This is permanent. On the timeline of our lives, I can already see down the path where we’re married and having children.”
Her bottom lip began to quiver.
“I love you, Heather. You’re already everything to me. From here on in, it’s simply a matter of sorting out the details. Right?”
Her lovely eyes became glassy as she nodded. “I love you.”
Kissing her softly, I picked up my phone again, hitting the dictate button. “Three – save as much room as she needs in the closets and drawers. Four – get her a credit card so that I can be certain that she has the warmest coat and boots well before winter sets in, and anything else her heart desires.”
Heather’s hair fell in her face as she shook her head. “I can’t take–”
“Shush, darling, I’m making a list.” She giggled, giving me a tiny smack on the shoulder. “Five – pick up as many jewelry store brochures as possible so that she can begin choosing a ring.”
Her pretty little mouth fell open in shock.
“Don’t worry,” I grinned, “I’ll wait until we’re together at least a few weeks before I actually propose. But I do like to stay ahead of things.”
She stared at me, completely stunned. After a long moment, she nodded. After a slow breath, she asked, “Can I bring my spare teapot here? I like tea on the weekends.”
“Sweetheart, you can bring anything here. Or order it on your new credit card. Hell, you can paint the kitchen orange plaid if you like. Anything that makes you feel more at home here, please just go ahead.”
Heather took my phone from my hand, setting it behind me, then she curled into my arms. “This,” she whispered. “This is home now.”
EPILOGUE
* Steve *
** Two Years Later **
I was fairly certain my life was heaven on earth. As I looked around my glamorous, elegant condo, there were parts of it that were barely recognizable compared to my first weekend here. My office now had a playpen in the corner. One bedroom was the nursery, and the other was Heather’s office, with a playpen there as well.
It had taken a little time to figure out an arrangement for us, but Heather now worked from home, just three days a week. During those days, I was able to take Bobby into my office when she was making calls or doing any work that required intense focus.
We managed to juggle him back and forth, so that he had constant attention, but we both managed to get a reasonable amount of work done. We also had two amazing nannies on call for date nights, or the odd day when we were both extremely busy.
There were several times that I was able to make a long-distance client smile by rocking Bobby in my arms during a video call. He was such a good baby. Gentle and even-tempered like his mother, occasionally slightly uptight and fussy like me.
Heather was able to have her monthly book club at our home, so a few of the other ladies felt free to bring their children as well. I adored playing the part of butler, then disappearing to give her some space, sometimes bringing Bobby along to lounge in bed with me. Luckily, he seemed to enjoy the noises and colors of science fiction movies.
I had no idea I’d become one of those men with a million photos of their wife and son in their phone, eager to show them to anyone who would pay attention. We were the perfect tiny family.
Finishing up my work for the day, I closed my laptop, looking around the desk to make sure I hadn’t left anything sharp or expensive lying around. Bobby was almost toddling now, and I needed to be in the habit of double-checking everything.
Walking next door to Heather’s office, she was typing away, no doubt making a list of tomorrow’s work. Bobby looked up from his playpen with a gigantic grin, waving a stuffed frog and instantly babbling in his own strange language. Ten months was a little early for real words, but he was beginning to take his noises very seriously.
Picking him up, I took him out to the living room so that Heather could finish up for the day undisturbed. Taking him to the corner of the window, I held him up so that we could point out the different sorts of buildings. He was always fascinated by looking down at the tiny buses and taxi cabs zipping around.
We watched a plane fly past at the edge of the city, then I felt a hand on my shoulder. “I’ll take him if you like,” Heather said. “Unless you wanted me to start dinner?”
“I’ve ordered in from the health food place you like,” I said. “It should be here in five minutes.”
“You spoil us,” she grinned.
Slipping my free arm around her, I kissed her deeply. “I love to spoil my beautiful wife. I’m pretty sure you were well aware of this.”
As she snuggled into my shoulder, Heather said, “You are the best husband and daddy in the world. I should get you a trophy or something.”
“And you are the sweetest, sexiest wife and mommy,” I chuckled.
Bobby reached out his chubby little hand to pat her face, mumbling a noise that sounded like, “Mama.”
Heather stared at him in shock, then looked at me as her lovely eyes grew misty. “Did he just say…”
“Almost. I think so. It should be any day now.”
With my arms around the two loves of my life, I felt a wave of total satisfaction. Every single goal I’d ever dreamed of had been accomplished.
It was as if my life’s list was complete.
