His fingers unbuttoned my jeans, then he watched my eyes carefully. “May I taste you again?”
“Yes,” I breathed, but it came out more like a pant.
Leif’s sexy grin nearly made me whimper. Even as he pulled off my jeans and panties at the same time, his lips were back on mine, kissing me hard and deep as we moved against each other.
Before he could start kissing down my chest, I grabbed the top edge of his pants. “I want you naked too.”
A thick eyebrow raised as he smirked. “Whatever you say, Miss.”
He shimmied out of his jeans and shorts, and threw those and his socks across the room where they landed with a thud. It was probably rude to stare at his erection, but it was the sexiest, most erotic thing I’d ever seen before.
“Hey, my eyes are up here,” he chuckled.
“Sorry,” I muttered, still unable to look away. “I just…had no idea.”
He took my hand, meeting my eyes until I nodded. Then he placed my hand right at the top of his huge, thick shaft. “Don’t be nervous, baby. Just another body part.”
Sure it was. More like a warm, pulsing, sexual statement. A big statement.
Taking a deep breath, I brought my hand down slowly all the way to the base, then back up to the top, watching as his eyes lit up in delight. It was fascinating watching his muscular form expanding, taking up even more space with every breath as he seemed to become larger than life as he bloomed over me.
Stroking gently, I could feel a few drops of moisture at the tip, and rubbed them into his skin with my thumb.
A shudder ran through him as he murmured, “You have no idea how good that feels, baby.”
Shifting his hips, he pulled his length from my hand. “I love that you’re distracting me, but your man is hungry.”
Mmm, I loved the way he called himself my man.
He kissed his way around my breasts, then down my stomach until I whimpered. As he spread my thighs, settling between them, I wasn’t nearly as nervous this time.
He parted my folds with a long middle finger, and we both smiled at how drenched I was. Leif dug in immediately, dragging his tongue along my skin as I clutched at the blanket, already squirming.
It felt so good it was almost too much. As if I were sinking like a stone to the bottom of the ocean while floating up to the clouds at the same time.
“Leif,” I moaned, clutching his hair too hard but completely unable to stop, “It’s too much…I think…iIt’s…”
His tongue pressed flat against my clit, licking upward in slow, steady strokes as his middle finger slipped inside me. My teeth dug into my lower lip as I held on for dear life, trying not to crush his head with my legs.
His deep guttural groan as my body tightened around him drove me straight over the cliff. He licked steadily faster as I felt the thickness of his finger filling me. With a choked squeal, I pulled his face tighter against me, his eyes blazing as my climax shook us both.
As my breathing slowed and tried to find any sort of rhythm again, Leif commanded, “Again.”
I tried to protest, but he gripped my hip, holding my shifting, writhing body down as he licked harder. The slick sound of his finger against my skin made me wonder what his cock would feel like inside me.
Just like that, I realized two important facts at the same time. I was definitely ready to have sex with Leif, and it was going to happen in just a few minutes.
The other fact was that I was already coming again, blind from streaks of light through my vision as his hot tongue lapped steadily in the perfect spot.
“Yes…Leif…” I panted, lowering my hand to his shoulders as I exploded under him. His satisfied groan would have made me laugh if I had any breath to spare.
As I lay sprawled, gasping, Leif kissed his way back up to my lips. “You’re so delicious,” he murmured, meeting my lips so that I could taste my pleasure.
My legs had fallen together as he shifted, so I spread them wide again, bending my knees so that I could guide him to my center.
“Are you trying to tell me some secret message?” he asked with a raised eyebrow.
“I don’t think it’s a secret,” I whispered. “There’s something we both want.”
His fingers tenderly brushed the hair out of my face as he danced kisses along my brow bone. “We have all the time in the world, my beautiful baby. We don’t need to go any further tonight if you don’t want to.”
“I want to.”
Maybe he could see the way my eyes felt like they were burning. Maybe he could see how flushed and open and desperate and wanton I was for the very first time.
Or maybe he actually wanted me as much as I wanted him.
He started to reach for his bedside table, so I blurted, “I’m on the pill.”
His grin was adorable. “I knew you were smart. You’re sure about this?”
“Yes.”
I’d never felt so sexy as he murmured, “I really am the luckiest man on the planet.”
He took hold of his thick shaft, dragging the round head up and down against my entrance. Once our skin was wet and slippy and I was as ready as I could possibly be, I wrapped my arms around his neck to kiss him deeply.
His thighs tightened as he pressed inside me with perfect control. Gently. As if he was making a memory for the both of us to hold forever.
“My precious baby,” he murmured. “You’re so perfect.”
I couldn’t even speak, because the only words I could think were the ones I knew he was thinking as well.
I love you. I love this moment. I love how we are together.

I had never been so emotionally moved by mere physical action before.
Maybe it was seeing the love in Hayden’s eyes, and hoping that she could see the same in mine. Maybe it was that we couldn’t possibly be physically closer. Or maybe it was the resounding chime in the back of my mind, announcing that this girl was the one I was going to spend my life with.
Even though my cock was throbbing, begging for me to thrust faster, I moved as slowly and smoothly as possible.
To my great relief, Hayden didn’t seem to be in any pain, just a little uncomfortable and anxious for the first few moments. Then her blinking became slower, and the tight clench of her fingers on my shoulders relaxed into gentle caresses.
I kissed her slowly as her body opened for mine, her beautiful little pussy unbelievably tight. I was likely a bit big for her, but her soft moans and gasps were definitely happy ones.
The way her entire body squirmed slightly under me was impossibly seductive. My palms skimmed over her breasts, stroking her flesh as her tongue danced against mine. My own guttural groan filled the air as her pussy gripped me tighter.
I could feel her belly flutter as my hand slipped down to find her throbbing button. As soon as I began to massage it, her gasps came more frequently, showing me clearer than words how close to the edge she was.
Thrusting slowly in and out of her wetness, my body was completely overpowering hers, pinning her down, yet she seemed completely comfortable. I kept checking her eyes, but Hayden was relaxed. Dreamy. Adrift on this ocean of pleasure we were sharing.
The need to satisfy her, to make her crave more, was gaining strength with every stroke. Her hands traveled restlessly across my shoulders, then gripped the back of my neck, tangling into my hair and pulling my lips harder against her.
Damn, this girl could kiss.
Hayden managed to relax a bit more, so that our movements could quicken. The feeling of having this beautiful girl under my physical control was nearly enough to make me snap.
“Leif,” she panted against my mouth, “Is this…” She trailed off, but I could see the worry in her eyes. My poor angel was concerned she might not be doing everything right.
“You feel incredible, baby. Is this too much for you?”
She shook her head shyly. “No. It’s…I love it.”
&n
bsp; Moving my lips to her ear, I breathed, “Tell me, baby. Are you going to come all over me?”
I had never talked dirty to a girl before, and wondered briefly if I crossed a line, but couldn’t help myself. I was rewarded with her eyes blazing, and another wave of her juices coating my shaft.
“Yes,” she moaned, as my finger strummed her clit lightly. “More.”
Thrusting a bit quicker, a bit deeper, I whispered, “More of my huge cock in your sexy little pussy? Or more dirty words in your ear?”
Her head fell back with a cry as her hips rocked up to mine. “Both. Please.”
I could feel every inch of her contracting, twitching, and couldn’t wait to see and feel her lose herself with me.
“You feel so perfect around me,” I breathed, feeling her passage tighten and flutter around me. “Let me feel you, beautiful. Let me know what it feels like when you come just for me.”
Kissing her deeply again, she screamed into my mouth as her hot pussy clamped around me, the climax roaring through her.
Every twitch, every spasm was more proof that she belonged to me. That we were perfect together.
Her entire body was holding onto me so tightly that I didn’t ever want to let her go. This connection, this absolute bonding, was more powerful than I could have ever imagined.
My driving hips couldn’t be slowed any longer, as my long, smooth strokes sped up. I pinched her nipples lightly, needing to hear her cry out one more time as the last waves of her orgasm died out.
“Hayden, baby…” I choked, gripping her tightly as I pounded deep. My animalistic nature had completely taken over. My entire body seemed to rattle to the bone from the force of my climax, each hot spurt of come feeling like it was claiming her.
For a long moment I was blind, reveling in absolute bliss as it washed over me.
Then I blinked hard, kissing Hayden tenderly before pulling back to search her eyes. “Sorry, baby. Was that too much?”
She shook her head. “No. It was amazing.”
Pushing myself up on my forearms to give her some space, I kissed her gently before moving to the side and pulling her into my arms.
“I had no idea,” she whispered against my chest.
“About what?” I murmured. “That it would be so emotional?”
“Yes. And just so…all consuming.”
Laughing softly, I reached over to pull a sheet over us. “It’s because we’re perfect together,” I murmured, kissing the top of her hair. “Hey, if I hold you too tightly in my sleep, I won’t be offended if you push me away. Wake me up if you have to. All right?”
She looked up at me with those shining eyes. “Thank you for understanding. But I think I like this.”
“Good. It means a lot that you’re comfortable with me, baby.”
Her soft smile as I held her made my heart sing. Hayden’s head dropped down again, then her warm breath skimming across my chest slowed to a steady rhythm as she drifted off.
I stroked her back for a moment, then grew still, too happy and satisfied to sleep for a while. I needed a few minutes to acknowledge the brand new pool of love I was floating away on.

Waking up to the sound of heavy breathing in my ear was a little weird, but I liked it.
From the angle of the sun sneaking in around the edges of the curtains, I would have guessed that it was around eight. But when I craned my head to peek at Leif’s alarm clock, it was already nine.
Slowly slipping out of his grasp, I tiptoed down the hall to the guest room since all of my stuff was still there. After a quick shower, I tied my hair up in a clip so it would dry in waves.
I went down to the kitchen to have a glass of water, and simply look around Leif’s space.
He was clearly extremely wealthy, but there was nothing overly fancy. Everything seemed to serve a purpose. Sure, the appliances were top-of-the-line, but there was nothing wildly extravagant.
Poking around, I found the coffee and set a pot to brew.
His kitchen was unbelievably well stocked. A tiny door that I had assumed was a broom closet was actually a pantry, filled with all kinds of neatly labeled containers, cans and bottles.
Since it was Sunday morning, and possibly the only day of the week Leif got to sleep in, I didn’t want to run the blender making smoothies.
I washed the fruit we had bought at the farmer’s market, peeled an apple and chopped it, and got everything ready to blend as soon as he was awake. Then I chopped up peppers and onions for a batch of his special scrambled eggs.
Between chopping, organizing, and sipping coffee while looking out across the lush backyard, a beautiful wave of contentment washed over me.
If Leif and I were in it for the long haul, would I feel like this all the time?
Realistically, probably not. There would be some stress now and then. But he truly listened to me. He paid attention to my feelings. I bet that if I was ever upset, he would give me some space to think things through.
I didn’t have very many men to compare him to, other than my father, who was a bit distant.
High school was when most people learned about dating, but I was busy either studying or reading. College was basically the same. Sure, I looked at cute guys now and then, but didn’t have the nerve to actually speak to them.
And then the one time I let my guard down, all hell broke loose.
After that improv class, I was so amped up on adrenaline that I thought having a coffee with one of the other students would be fun. How on earth was I to know that it would lead to a month of stalking?
I couldn’t help wondering whether things with Craig might resolve faster if Leif spoke to him. As gentle as Leif was with me, I’m sure that he could be absolutely ferocious if he wanted to.
A sick little part of me actually wanted to see Craig look terrified. After making me jumpy for so long, it would be a fair payback. But more than anything else, I just wanted him to go away, permanently.
Leif, on the other hand, I wanted to stick around for a long, long time. At least, I was pretty sure. The things he made me feel last night were indescribable. Magical.
He was very clear that he felt the same for me. Seeing such a big guy being so tender touched my heart. Just after we had made love, when he was kissing my cheeks so sweetly, I felt him still trembling.
We moved each other. We could be an incredible team together, I knew it.
I just didn’t know what the next step was. How do you ask a man if he will officially be your boyfriend? My natural instinct was to let him take the lead. But at least I could make it easy for him.
Some women played games and teased and beat around the bush. I only wanted to be open and honest with him. Maybe if I just showed him how much I cared, over and over, it would become blatantly obvious.
Walking to the bottom of the stairs, I listened to see if maybe his shower was running, or if he was walking around yet. I heard his voice speaking, as if he was on a phone call. It was definitely something serious, but then I heard him chuckle.
Perhaps bringing my man his morning coffee was the sort of thing that would make him realize that I was thinking about him.
Maybe the very first cup of coffee wouldn’t announce true love, but after many times, it would certainly suggest it.

The smell of coffee woke me up with a smile on my face. Hayden was here. She was puttering in my kitchen, making herself at home. That was almost as wonderful as waking up with her in my arms.
What we had shared together last night was beyond any of my hopes or expectations.
She was it for me. The one. My girl.
I could feel it in my bones.
Hauling myself out of bed, I took a lightning fast shower, then threw on a pair of jogging pants and an old t-shirt. She might as well see my grubby weekend wardrobe now.
Before I could head downstairs, I h
eard my phone buzzing from the nightstand.
My brother Julian. Dammit.
I ignored it, walking around the corner into my office to open my laptop to call him back with a video chat. He was always much more amicable through video calls, and I was going to have to butter him up as much as possible so he took my news that I wasn’t moving to Nevada well. Or at least, didn’t get wildly upset.
