Kelly had a good imagination, but it was nothing compared to reality. She felt so full, unbelievably full. After putting him inside of her, she slid down as far as she could and held herself there.

There were still a few inches that had no hope of making it inside of her. Her hand touched the skin outside and her fingers just covered the length of it. She’d known he was big, but she hadn’t expected him to be quite that big. It was a surprise he easily slipped inside. Since she hadn’t stopped thinking about them together after determining they had to have sex before getting married, there was plenty of wetness dripping from her.

When she’d gotten ready for bed, she was so sure things would lead to them coming together that she’d foregone putting any underwear on. Her optimism was a little unlike her, but as soon as Jake admitted he loved her, she knew he wouldn’t turn her down.

“Take your shirt off,” she directed as she moved both hands to help.

The hand touching his dick was a little awkward with her on top of him, so it needed to find a new patch of skin to touch. He lifted his arms up, and she slid the soft cotton fabric up and over his head. She’d seen glimpses of the tan, light cinnamon-colored skin before, but Jake was careful about showing off too much. He’d clearly done some reading on things that could trigger her food issues to flare up.

She’d never had huge problems with guys’ bodies. Of course, she never picked guys who were skinnier than her, so she couldn’t compare her body to theirs and become obsessive over the differences.

Running her hand from Jake’s abdomen up to his chest, there was no worry about triggers being set off. His smooth skin leading up to his chest was something to envy, but the ripples of his muscles as she went over them only caused slight pulses from deep inside of her, making her squeeze against him.

“I take it you approve?”

There was no doubt he felt her reaction. She let her fingers run through the soft, brown hair on his chest before she answered. There wasn’t a lot of hair, which was a little surprising given the fact that he had to shave stubble away from his chin every morning.

“You are… wow.”

Kelly wasn’t sure what else to say. She didn’t want to come right out and say he was the most beautiful man she’d ever been with. With him inside, it felt that would ring as just something said in the moment. The truth was, even with the small scars she felt under her fingertips, he was a work of art.

“Yeah, well, the hours in the gym have been put to good use.”

He leaned in and caught her lips for just a second, capturing her lower lip as he pulled away. The move pushed him up and into her just a little more, bumping against her cervix. There was a slight pain that tinged through her, but she did her best not to let it show on her face.

“So, how should this work. I think some friction should start happening, but I’m waiting to see if you’re continuing to lead the way, or if you want me to take over.”

Jake had probably done a little too much reading. He was clearly doing everything in his power to not push buttons, which was sweet, but other than some issues letting others see her, sex wasn’t usually a problem. Of course, in years past, sex was associated with coke, so she didn’t give two fucks what anyone thought about her body.

It wasn’t until after the coke was done and she’d gone crazy about restricting her food that her body image issues took over. In the few years since then, not many of her relationships made it to the sex level, and if they did, it was a one and done kind of thing.

“As long as you aren’t going to pull out and run the other direction, I’m good with you taking over.”

Kelly had started things, but she was nervous about doing something to scare him away. She mounted him to make sure there was no confusion about how intimate she wanted to be. When he’d mentioned just touching, she’d about screamed.

He chuckled and leaned in to take her lips in earnest. Her body lifted to meet his mouth as he pushed it against hers. His mouth opened wider, pushing his tongue into her mouth, where she readily greeted it by curling hers around it and sucking on it.

As their tongues met, Jake’s body pushed her backward, so she could lie on the bed. While they moved, he pulled himself out of her some, but pushed back in gently once they got to their new position.

He started slowly working in and out of her, syncing his movements with the battle going on above the neck. Kelly’s hands slid up and down his back with every thrust she met.

A guy generally didn’t care about making Kelly comfortable during sex. In fact, she hadn’t met any guys who thought sex would be any different with her than the next woman. That was what made Jake so different. She was worried that she wouldn’t like the careful approach over the fast and sloppy sex she was used to, but it made it feel like it wasn’t just sex.

Jake’s lips pulled away as he gulped in a breath of air. Kelly hadn’t even noticed she wasn’t breathing, when she quickly did the same thing.

“Oh, God,” she managed to moan out as air made it to her lungs.

“We’re just getting started. Please tell me you haven’t already forgotten my name.”

Kelly wasn’t sure how he could make a joke during his calculated thrusts, but she laughed at the attempt. Since joking didn’t seem to mess up his rhythm, she thrust forward as he pulled out, causing a short growl accompanied by him snapping his teeth at her.

“I remember your name, but I’m not sure if you remember that I’m not going to break if you decide to be a little rougher.”

He pulled out and slammed back into her, probably not at the full force his muscles allowed, but more than enough to cause her to moan and dig her nails into his back. She didn’t have long nails, but at least little crescent divots were going to be visible.

“I’m not going slow for you.” He stopped his line of thinking and shook his head. “Of course, I’m going slow for you, but it’s not just because I’m worried about hurting you. When you climbed up on my lap, I about came right then. I’ve been imagining what this would be like for months, so I’m trying to make sure it lasts more than five seconds. You didn’t exactly give me a chance to get you off first. I’m not going to be the only one reaching a climax.”

His words were all said with complete sincerity, which was surprising enough. The fact that he’d been able to say so many without skipping a beat in his thrusting was downright award-worthy.

“My goal was to make sure you’re physically attracted to me and aware that I’m not going to break. It seems I’ve proven that point.”

Jake scoffed and stopped for a second to lean down and kiss her forehead. He pulled out of her, leaving her feeling empty, as he started kissing his way down her body. Her eyes got wider the further he went, until his warm breath blew on her blonde curls.

The second the warmth went away, she shivered from the coolness it left behind. She hadn’t been with a guy for a while, and even though she thought things were getting serious with Jake, she hadn’t thought of doing a little landscaping.

That didn’t deter Jake one bit as he swiped his tongue from the hole begging for him to come back in up to her little bud. With how wet she was, there was no way he didn’t get a good taste of her juices.

“Fuck,” she said as she bit her lip.

He’d just mentioned almost coming, and just like that, one lick had her feeling like she was about to go over the edge. He used his tongue a few more times, before latching on to her button and sucking hard.

Whether it was the build-up or the fact that she was just that easy to push over the edge, Kelly grabbed a hold of his hair and pulled as her vision slowly ebbed to black and she started screaming. A hand quickly reached up and covered her mouth, reminding her they weren’t in the house alone.

Thankfully, she’d been confident enough things would work in her favor that she’d closed the door to their room and locked it. She wasn’t in the state of mind to care who walked in on them, but it was smart to make sure the kids weren’t privy to their nighttime activities.

Jake climbed back up Kelly and thrust inside her, this time with much more force than any of the times before. She cooed at the friction, dragging her orgasm along even longer. Her poor legs tried to wrap around his back, helping push him back in each time, but they were quivering too much to be any help.

With the new urgency to his speed, it wasn’t long before his grunts got more breathless and his body froze above hers. She felt the first jerk inside of her, followed by a handful of others. Thinking about him coming inside of her and feeling the sensation made her thrust her body against him as she climaxed a second time, or maybe it was just a big aftershock from the first one. Either way, she closed her eyes and fought the scream trying to break out of her chest.

Jake let his body gently collapse on to hers, still using his arms to hold him up some. He was heavy, but there wasn’t a chance she was going to complain about that. She was too busy feeling her grip onto him tighter, trying to milk every drop out of him.

“Well, I think that solves that problem.”

His voice was amused, bringing Kelly somewhat out of the daze she’d fallen into. She had no problem just lying there connected as they were until she fell asleep. There were words that needed to be said, though.

“What problem?”

She managed to get the words out before he settled his lips on hers. At first, he seemed hesitant to open his mouth too wide, but she stuck her tongue out, tasting the musky flavor of herself on his lips. Once he got the idea she was okay with it, he opened up, letting her inside to taste her essence mixed with his peppermint toothpaste. It was an interesting flavor, one she didn’t mind at all.

He broke the kiss and rolled off her, again leaving her feeling empty. She groaned at the sensation. He was quick to pull her up, so they were on the bed with their heads at the pillows, her body half draped over his.

“The problem I was referring to is whether we’re compatible sexually. I’m going to say…”

His words trailed off as he pretended to have to think about it. Kelly lifted her knee slightly, connecting lightly with the softening appendage curled up to his stomach.

“Hey now,” he said as he reached down to grab himself, stroking a few times.

At some point, his boxers had disappeared, so his full body was on display for Kelly. Curled up with his arm around her, it was easy to see every inch of his front. After the workout they’d just done, it surprised her that she had an urge to reciprocate the oral pleasure he’d given her.

It was embarrassing to think that the only times she’d really given head were when someone offered it in exchange for a line. She’d always equated the two actions together, so it wasn’t generally something she volunteered to do post-rehab. Yet, she wanted to climb down there and sample what they tasted like together.

The only thing stopping her was the fact that she didn’t think she could move. Lifting her leg three inches wore her out.

“What I was going to say, before your knee got a little unruly, is that I think we are absolutely compatible in every way. Don’t be so hasty to throw out the wedding idea, okay? When I thought of it as a way to help out, I realized that I do see us getting married. Obviously, I thought we’d spend a little longer getting to know each other and everything, but that doesn’t change the fact that I love you, and I can easily see you and the kids becoming my family. So, I think we should just go ahead and go with the original plan. What do you say? Will you marry me?”

With his free hand, he lifted her chin, so she had to look at him while he proposed. Her mouth fell open when she realized what he was doing. It was one thing to offer because it could help her out. It was another thing for him to say it was because he loved her and wanted to be a family.

Her heart started pounding faster as she shook her head up and down. His eyes had seemed a little nervous, but as soon as he saw the answer, the smile on his face made it up to his eyes and his brown eyes looked like they had flecks of gold in them.

“Of course, I’ll marry you. Since Fiona found out it might be a possibility, I’d be stupid to turn you down. I’ve heard she’s good with knots and tying people to chairs.”

Kelly laughed at her words, and for the first time in months she almost felt lighthearted. Shoot, it wasn’t even just months. It’d been years since she’d been as happy as she was there in Jake’s arms. It was going to take some getting used to, but Kelly hoped she could keep her positive outlook on life going.

Eventually, she’d have to make sure Jake knew everything about her past, including the fact she could still have a child out there that she’d given up. There had been a couple of times she tried to tell him, but the timing never seemed right. She’d work up to it, but not tonight. They were celebrating.

“Well, obviously, we can’t upset Fiona. We should probably try to get some sleep. I’ve got practice in the morning and a full day of looking around for rings. Any recommendations there? You don’t seem to wear much jewelry.”

Kelly shook her head. She wasn’t a jewelry person, even though her ears were pierced twice. Having to wear huge pieces during shows had turned her off wearing jewelry for fun.

“Okay, I’m sure I can figure something out. Gold. Platinum. Giant diamonds.”

He was fishing, which only caused her to roll her eyes. Things couldn’t have been more perfect. Kelly was so completely sated, she wasn’t sure she’d ever be able to get up from the bed, and the man she was hopelessly in love with was trying to figure out what kind of engagement ring to get her.

“By the way, I love you, too,” she said as she craned her neck to kiss him on the cheek.
