We stayed silent in the car while Shane held my hand the whole time, stealing glances in my direction.

We stayed silent when he parked the car and entered my apartment building.

We stayed silent in the elevator ride up to my floor.

We stayed silent as I unlocked my door and his hands roamed my body from breasts to hips, his lips kissing from my shoulder up to my ear.

The silence greeted us when I opened my apartment. The darkness letting me know Jolene wasn’t home.

It was the last silence of the night until our moans, grunts, and pleas would become the only thing to echo within the walls.

I dropped my purse and he kicked the door shut behind us and pulled me into him, my back to his front. His hands started at my stomach and rose up to cup my breasts as his mouth made love to my neck. Tipping my head to the side, I moaned and chills raced down my spine, tingling out to my limbs, my skin rising in goose bumps to reach him.

I pushed my hips back into his groin and placed my hand over his, moving it down to between my legs. He gripped me hard there and growled one word.

“Mine.”

I was. In his arms, in that moment, I was his.

He flipped me around and hoisted me up, bringing my legs to wrap around his waist. We held each other’s stare as he walked us to my room. His ice blue eyes heating and darkening, his pupils dilating, and the anticipation of what they promised burned through me.

I expected frantic. I expected to be tossed on the bed and clothes to be torn off. Instead, he gently lay me down, locking his lips on mine and grinding against me as we melded our tongues and our bodies together. Still fully clothed, we let our hands roam and panted against each other, gasping for breath between each kiss.

“Please, Shane,” I whispered against his lips, needing more. The throb between my legs becoming too much with not enough to satisfy it.

He leaned back and pushed my hands away when I went to tear off my shirt, stopping me from stripping, so he could do it for me. He revealed each piece of my skin like it was the last present he’d ever get to open and wanted to cherish it forever. He kissed each exposed body part gently, dipping his tongue into my belly button, swirling it around each of my breasts to only leave a soft sucking kiss to the nipples.

He leaned back and held my stare as he tugged his shirt over his head, his chest and abs rippling from the movement, before falling back on top of me, scalding my skin with his own. We felt like fire and heat, and I was dying to go up in flames with him. My hands roamed his chest, dragging them down, gently circling his nipples with my fingers before moving further to undo his belt.

He let me get as far as the zipper, and when I was about to reach my hand inside to feel him in the palm of my hand, he backed up, sliding down my body, leaving sucking kisses in his wake. He fell to his knees on the floor and dragged my pants and underwear from my body, kissing down my thighs, knees, and calves before finally slipping them off. Then he made his way back up again, parting my thighs, rubbing his thumbs up and down the lips of my pussy, taunting me with what was to come.

I lifted my hips, begging him without words to touch me, to lick me, to taste me. He placed sucking kisses along my groin and when I looked down to watch his mouth on me, my eyes locked with his. Holding my stare, he finally parted my lips and dragged his tongue from my opening to my clit. I cried out from the pleasure, my head falling back to the bed.

He repeated his ministrations, up and down, up and down. He’d spend time at my bundle of nerves and then he would plunge his tongue in and out of me, holding my thighs as far apart as they would go and then pushing them back to expose every inch of me.

I almost came off the bed when he slipped past my core and dropped lower to my rosette.

“Shane.” I gasped, shocked and unsure of the feeling. He continued with flicks of his tongue, touching nerve endings I didn’t even know existed. He moved one hand to my cunt and plunged two fingers in to my wetness. Slow, measured thrusts. When he removed them, he replaced them with his tongue, but then moved his fingers to my tight hole and began pushing a finger inside me.

Unintelligible whimpers escaped from my throat, unsure of the electricity firing through my body. His finger pushed harder, stretching me, and his tongue moved back to my clit, quickly flicking back and forth. It was too much. Too much pleasure and too many sensations consumed me, and I gasped for air, clinging to the sheets as a heat fell over me.

I cried out as my orgasm crashed over me in waves over and over again, his finger pushing in and out of my ass, his tongue a relentless movement around my core, not letting me come down from my high.

When I did come back, I had tears streaming down my temples and my chest heaved with choked sobs. It was too much, and my body didn’t know how to handle it.

“Shh. Shh.” Shane soothed me as the bed dipped and he laid over me, wiping the wet tracks from my face. “You did so well. So beautiful. I’ve never seen anything quite so extraordinary as you when you come.”

His words wrapped around me, soothing the frantic pace of my heart. The way his eyes stared down at me made me feel an acceptance I’d never had before. It made my heart race and my eyes burn for a whole other reason. He looked at me like he adored me, like I was his only purpose in life.

I heard the crinkle of a condom wrapper before I felt the tip of his cock brushing against my opening. I clenched my core, even the slight brush of his tip against my swollen cunt sent a shock through my body.

He held my stare, brushing the hair back from my sweaty face, as he pushed in slowly, an inch at a time, not stopping until he was seated as deep as he could go, his balls resting against my ass.

He held my stare as he pulled out and repeated the process, swirling his hips, grinding into my clit each time he pushed in. His forehead rested against mine, our breaths mixing in the small space between us as he slowly fucked me.

No.

This wasn’t fucking. This was beyond different than anything we’d shared before. There was no fast pace, no skin slapping against the other’s, no dirty words stroking the flames higher. I hesitated to call it making love, but it felt like it, because I’d never felt anything so big before. It wrapped around us in our own little world. Him inside me, taking his time, relishing the mix of our heat.

“I wish I didn’t need a condom,” he whispered into my neck. “I wish I could feel you. Feel my cum deep inside you.”

“I’m sorry.” I didn’t know what else to say. I was sorry, because I almost wanted to be crazy and risk everything to feel it. Even if I wasn’t on birth control. “I’ll get on birth control. I want to feel your cum inside me.”

My words caused the first interruption in his pace. His hips jerking a little harder at the image my words must have painted.

He licked the beads of sweat up my neck as I clung to his back, lifting my legs higher on his hips, needing more of him. Needing all of him.

His hand reached down to grip my thigh, pushing up and over his shoulder and pushed hard into me, bringing a cry from my lips.

Watching my mouth, he did it again. And again. The thrusts coming faster and harder. I was so close, my cries becoming constant moans of rising pleasure as I chased my second orgasm of the night. He’d dragged out the time he was inside me, making it seem endless and now we both needed to come.

“Yes. Shane. Please.”

He brought his lips to mine and began thrusting into me hard, grinding on my clit with each pass, until I couldn’t take it anymore and my pussy began to spasm hard, spreading through my whole body, harder and faster than the last. He moaned against my lips, holding himself inside me as my cunt milked an orgasm from his cock.

When we were done, he slipped out of me and fell to the side, bringing me with him still in his arms. Our chests heaved from the exertion, and I dragged my hand across the sweat along his chest, wanting to remember this night forever. Needing to remember it.

Because that night, I fell in love with Shane.
