and it quickly followed his clothes to the floor. Our bare chests were mashed together, my nipples hard enough to carve diamonds against his smooth skin.
I writhed underneath him, needing to feel him where I wanted him most but also needing to see him while he sank into me. Dane positioned himself just right, moaning when he felt my wetness through my soaked panties. He caught my earlobe between his teeth and nipped at it, rolling his hips so perfectly against me that I was soon seeing stars behind my eyelids.
His hands started working their magic next, one reaching to pull my underwear off while the other cupped the underside of my breast. Long fingers slipped through my slick folds and one sank into me just as he pinched my nipple.
Pleasurable spasms ran through me. I could never help myself with him, but I especially wasn’t even going to try tonight. This man owned my heart and my body because I’d given both to him willingly.
We’d come a long way in the last couple of months, and I couldn’t wait to spend the rest of the year with him. After that, when my contract was up, we’d have to figure things out. But I wasn’t going to obsess about that now. We’d found each other again after so long. I had faith that we wouldn’t let each other go again.
Dane lifted himself slightly off me, his muscles tight with restraint and his gaze heavy on mine. A second finger joined the first, pumping into me with a rhythm that sent me hurtling to the edge. My body trembled and tightened in anticipation, and then he pressed his finger down on my clit, making tight circles until I was a goner.
Murmuring words of encouragement and nipping at my skin, he licked away the sting and slowed only when I started coming down.
“I love you, Leah,” he whispered when my body stilled, his need coming off him in palpable waves as he positioned himself over me. But then he dropped his forehead to mine and groaned. “Fuck, but I need to get a condom first.”
“I’m clean,” I said honestly, taking his face between my hands as I spread my legs to make enough space for him to rest there comfortably. “It’s never come up before, but I also have an IUD. If you’re clean and we’re committed to each other, you don’t need a condom.”
“I’m clean,” he said, those electric blue eyes of his unwavering on mine. “I haven’t been with anyone but you since my last test and I’m definitely committed to you.”
“I love you too,” I murmured in response, stroking my fingertips along the strong lines of his jaw. “I don’t want anybody else. I’m with you, Dane. I’m with you and I’m all in.”
Leaning his forehead back down against mine, his hands gripped the sheets at the sides of my head as he pushed slowly into me. He’d always been careful, but he was even more so this time, feeding himself into me at an agonizing pace that had me squirming in no time.
I lost myself in his eyes, my body moving with his when he finally started thrusting. Our eyes never left the other’s, our quiet moans and gasps filling the air as we came together again and again.
It was only when my vision blurred from all the sensation coursing through my body that I screwed my eyes shut, holding him close as I began climbing again. Higher and higher until it felt like I might be obliterated if I surrendered and toppled over the edge again.
Dane’s muscles tightened under my hands and his thighs quivered between mine. He was close. So close that I felt him pulse and swell deep inside of me.
“Leah,” he gritted out, his voice slightly muffled by my skin as he buried his head in the crook of my neck. “I can’t hold on much longer.”
“Then don’t,” I murmured to him, threading my hands into his hair as I thrust up against him over and over again. “Come for me, Dane. I love you so much. Please come for me.”
Growling as he tensed above me, his hips jerked and he emptied himself into me. As always seemed to happen, seeing the expression on his face when he let go triggered my own orgasm. I clung to him fiercely as I rode out the tempestuous storm that he’d whipped up inside me.
I wasn’t obliterated by it—happily—but it was the kind of orgasm I’d only
