hand slipped down to squeeze my balls, and I just about lost it right then.

Grabbing her wrist, I wrenched her hand away and pinned it to the mattress as I let my weight bear down on her, trapping her beneath me. “You’re mine,” I growled, and she moaned, digging her feet into the backs of my legs as she arched against me.

My grunts mixed in with her cries as my hips pounded against her, the needy pulse in my veins overpowering everything else. Her hands gripped my ass cheeks, clutching me to her as she ground into me. Pinpricks of pain streaked over my skin when she dug her fingernails in, and I choked out a cry.

Mercilessly, she dug deeper into my flesh. Just like when we danced, she knew exactly what I wanted from her. My body jerked as the sensation sliced through me, mingling with the pleasure, heightening it, driving me to the edge until it was too much to take.

Something cracked inside me and I gave up the fight, surrendering to the surge. Letting myself drown in it, drown in Andie. A lifetime of pent-up emotions, years of devotion and longing and frustration. It tore a ragged shout out of me as it seared up my spine and exploded behind my eyes in a spectrum of blinding color.

I slumped across her, just enough strength and consciousness left in me to keep from crushing her under my weight. As my chest heaved for oxygen, her fingers skimmed up my back and threaded through my hair in gentling strokes.

“I win,” she said softly.

I nuzzled into her neck. “Pretty sure I just won.”

“Let’s call it a draw. I think it’s fair to say we both came out on top.” She swiveled her head, and her eyes gleamed in the filtered light as they met mine.

Laying my palm against her cheek, I kissed her tenderly before I pulled back with a smile. “We both came on top, anyway.”

She laughed and pinched my nipple.

“Hey!” I hoisted myself up, arching an eyebrow at her. “Watch it, missy. Unless you’re ready for a rematch already.” The condom was starting to feel unbearable, and I winced as I reluctantly pulled out of her.

Freed from my weight, she stretched her arms overhead. “That would be impressive. But I’m definitely going to need a halftime break.”

I kissed her again, savoring the sweet taste of her mouth one more time before I went to clean myself up. “Halftime, my ass. That was just the first quarter.”

Andie

Wyatt was a cuddler. Who would have guessed? Certainly not me.

After I took my turn in the bathroom he dragged me back onto the bed and curled himself around me like an affectionate puppy. Both of us still naked, our legs intertwined, he nestled his face against my chest while I played with his hair.

I was loving this new side of him. I’d seen him be tactile and affectionate, of course, when he was trying to sweet-talk a woman into bed, but that was different than the snuggly, doting tenderness he’d revealed to me today.

The closest he’d ever come was a few times when he’d been drunk or sick or injured. Like when he’d fallen asleep in my lap a couple of weeks ago. It rocked me a little to think back on it—and on a few other memories like it—with the knowledge that he’d been struggling to hold himself back all this time. Only in a weakened state had he ever dropped his mask enough to let me glimpse this side of him.

I trailed my fingertip around the outer rim of his ear, and he let out a contented rumble, cupping one of my boobs as he snuggled closer.

Imprudently, I wondered if Wyatt was this post-coitally snuggly with all the women he slept with. It didn’t particularly strike me as one-night stand behavior. Did that mean I was special? Different than the others? I wanted to think so, but I also knew better than to make assumptions.

As long as I’d known Wyatt, and as much as I liked to think he was an open book to me, the truth was I didn’t have any idea what he was like in his intimate moments.

Hadn’t had any idea, anyway, before today. I’d just collected a lot of new data, and it was going to take some time to process all of it. In the meantime, I was content just to lie here and enjoy the feel of his body on mine, the musky scent
