When I heard a hard knock at my front door, I immediately went on high alert. I thought about the decision to grab a gun and prepare for some type of battle, but I made a last minute choice to go to the window and look outside first.

That's when my heart dropped through my chest and onto the floor. My breath quickened, my pulse raced. I had to blink and do a double take because I couldn't believe what I was seeing, as if it was just my imagination playing tricks on me.

I ran to the front door and swiped it open. Standing there was the love of my life that I didn’t even realize I needed until she had faded into the sunset horizon. Alexis Mancini. She was my light. The slender, tan, beautiful inside and out perfect woman.

“Alexis?” My voice cracked, surprising me.

She sniffed as her eyes filled with tears. "It's me," she chuckled and choked back a sob as she nodded vigorously. "I couldn't leave you." Her expression was vulnerable. Her eyes were intoxicatingly filled with desire and compassion.

“I never wanted you to leave.” I pulled her inside.

Wordlessly, we began to undress each other. The frantic, wild need to ravage her took over my body and my actions with a desperate hunger that burned through me. Her skin was so soft, tender and perfect. It was as if I were running my hands over fresh silk.

Her breath was cool in my ear as she tickled my cheeks and neck with a frenzy of kisses. My mouth found hers and I hungrily tasted her as she sighed and moaned into my ear.

“You’re so hot,” I groaned.

"Kiss me harder," she begged. Urgency and passion sliced through her voice. Even though she was the one pleading to me, I felt compelled to obey her as I began to kneel down and kiss her round, luscious breasts.

Her nipples were perky and swollen and I plucked each of them into my mouth, wanting to give her entire body the intricate attention it deserved. Her skin responded with chill bumps of pleasure prickling all over and she ran her hands through my hair, giving me a teasingly wonderful sensation.

“I want to fuck you over and over,” I groaned as I worked my way down to her belly and licked her navel. “You are mine forever.”

“Forever sounds wonderful,” she panted as I noticed her breath quickening. Her hunger and desire radiated off of her body and I absorbed every particle of love that she had to offer me.

I'd been alone for so long and had forgotten how amazing it felt to have another person with me, a beautiful woman like Alexis. Having her body heat next to mine made my insides melt and my heart leaped with joy.

“I can’t believe how lucky I am,” I told her as I picked her up by her hips and tossed her delicately onto the couch. I was so ready to fuck her that I couldn’t even wait long enough to walk down the hallway with her.

She giggled and nibbled on my bottom lip, tugging it so gently and wonderfully. We were both stripped down now. Our clothes were strewn and tossed all over the floor in a trail that led to the couch.

I pushed her legs open and marveled at the amazing sight in front of me. Her pussy lips were swollen with desire. Her thighs were trembling as she gazed into my eyes with longing. I searched her soul. When we made love, the window to compassion was wide open and there were no secrets between us any longer.

Without another word, I plunged my head between her legs, burying myself there as she straddled her legs around my neck. She felt so good, and I loved tasting her sweet pussy nectar. There was a puddle pooling between her legs. She arched her back and wailed out as ecstasy consumed her.

I was in a love trance that surrounded us both in the bliss of intense, erotic chemistry. Her clit was engorged and pulsing. My cock throbbed, and I needed to be inside of her. She came with enthusiasm and thrilling excitement that made my heart pound. Her moans were wild and loud, but we were all alone in the private seclusion of the mountainous woods.

As soon as she climbed down from her climax, I needed to take her. I was ready to unleash my primal, animal instincts. I wanted to ravage her body. I wanted her to know how much I cared about her, how much she meant to me. The best way to show her was to plunge myself deep inside of her and make her come again.

I rocked on top of her for a few minutes, as my dick easily slipped and slid in and out because she was so wet. I grabbed her up by the hips and turned her over so that I was fucking her from behind. She was on all fours.

I pulled her hair as she moaned with delight. I grabbed her ass cheeks and squeezed them tightly, holding onto her tiny waist for grip and support. I knew I was close to orgasm. I wanted to time it perfectly so that we could come together.

She cried out with moans of pleasure as I pushed myself deep inside of her, making a suctioning sound as my dick thrust between her swollen, pink pussy lips.

“I think I’m going to come again,” she cried out in warning.

I used all my concentration to make it there with her. I was sweating and panting as my dick made full, deep impacting penetration. At the same second that her moans turned into passionate desperation, that’s when I lost all control.

My vision blurred and the cries of pleasure that expelled from my own throat were primal and unrecognizable. I groaned and pulled out of her as I was exploding with cum like a rocket booster.

I drove hard into her when I came, going so deep that my seed shot straight to her cervix. I wanted to mark her as mine forever. I wanted her pregnant with my child.

Afterward, she wrapped her arms around my neck and met my gaze with a gloriously beautiful smile that lit up my world with sunshine.

“I was too rough,” I whispered.

“No. It’s okay. That’s how I like it. I love the way you are,” she said and kissed my lips. “I think I love you. I couldn’t leave without saying goodbye.”

My heart warmed. “I hate goodbyes,” I blurted out. I knew she could probably hear the wounded pain in my voice. “I love you too, Alexis.”

My heart was racing. I licked my lips and suddenly felt nervous for the first time in my life. I didn’t know what to expect. I wanted her to stay with me here in the mountains forever. We could have a perfect life together. We could have babies and live nestled and cozy in the woods.

“I have to ask you something,” I told her.

“Okay,” she said as excitement shimmered like glitter in her eyes.

I took a deep breath. I needed to prepare myself. “Would you like to stay here with me in the mountains? We could make a life here together. I’d build a bigger cottage. Would you like that? I’d want you to marry me and have my children. I would take care of you always. You would never have to worry again.”

She purred as she smiled fondly up into my eyes. “My sweet mountain man. I was hoping you’d ask me to stay here with you. I would love to.”

As I hugged her, I felt the rush of relief in knowing that her loving embrace would be wrapped around my heart forever.
