ready,” he mused.
“I guess I missed you.”
“What a nice surprise,” he said.
“There’s that word again,” I said.
“Yeah, well, this is going to be a lot better than nice. I can assure you of that.” He reached for his nightstand and slipped a condom out of the drawer, tearing it with his teeth, and reaching down to roll it on.
My pulse sped. This was happening. We were happening.
Chase braced his weight on his elbows beside my head and gazed down at me. “This means something to me, Soph.”
“I know.”
“Do you?”
I nodded.
“I needed to wait to do this until you knew the real me.”
My heart constricted. I didn’t know if I could take any more of his honesty.
“Tell me if I’m hurting you.”
“I’ll be fine,” I said.
He captured my lips in a delicious kiss as his hips began to roll. He shifted slightly so his erection moved between my legs, slipping over my folds. He wasn’t trying to push inside me yet. He was teasing me with the sensations he was creating each time he hit my clit. He didn’t stop kissing me, even when I felt the tip press against my entrance. I sucked in a sharp breath, but he captured it with his lips, deepening the kiss as his hips thrust a little harder. My knees fell open, and that’s all it took. He pushed once, then twice, then one more time before he stretched me wide. I groaned as Chase abandoned my lips and gazed down at me, gauging my expression. “You good?”
I nodded, not sure if it hurt or felt amazing to be connected to him in this way.
“Can I move?” he asked.
I nodded.
He started off slow, likely gauging my face and pinched eyes for pain as he moved in and out of me. Once I was used to the feel of him, I opened my eyes. He stared down at me with hooded eyes. I found myself too lost in those eyes to notice any pain. I slipped my hands behind his back, coasting them up and down his smooth skin. I lowered my hands to his ass, loving the feel of him clenching as he moved in and out of me. He shifted his hips again, and he hit a spot inside me that sent my legs trembling. “Do that again,” I breathed.
He moved again, hitting the same spot.
My back arched off the bed and my head pressed into the pillow. “Oh, my God, yes.”
His lips quirked, continuing his rhythm, in and out, faster and harder, hitting that spot and making me see stars. My eyes pinched tight. My body’s internal spring began to coil. A rush of sensations twisted up inside of me. I held my breath. And as he thrust into me a few more times, the twisting released, and the sensations rippled out, sending tremors rushing to all parts of my body. I felt a warmth spread over me as my body quivered. This was so much better than what we’d done in my dorm room. Chase continued pounding into me, chasing the euphoria he’d given me. He groaned into my neck as his hips stopped moving and he stilled inside of me, his body going rigid. With his breathing labored, he lifted his head and pressed his forehead to mine. “Holy. Shit,” he breathed.
I chuckled as he lowered himself on top of me. I held his sweaty body to me, enjoying the feel of our breaths working in tandem. This was what I’d waited for. Chase was everything I waited for. He was everything I needed. And everything I wanted.
“You think you want to do that again?” he asked.
“I think I want to do that all the time with you.”
He laughed. “Does that mean I’m forgiven?”
“Depends.”
He lifted his head and rested his chin on my chest. “On what?”
“Are you taking me skydiving?”
His eyes widened.
“Don’t tell me you’re scared.”
He tipped his head. “Do I look scared?”
“You look hot. And, I’m kind of wondering when we’re gonna get to use your handcuffs.”
He dropped back his head and laughter tumbled out of him. And when he laughed like that, I knew this thing with us was meant to be. And no matter how difficult a road it had been getting to this place, there was nowhere else in the world I’d rather be.

Chase
I stood in the doorway of our bedroom, watching Sophia fixing herself in the mirror. Her hair hung in loose curls past her shoulders, her black graduation cap fixed in place
