I pulled back and stared into her eyes, wanting to tell her that everything would be okay, that I had things under control. I did, to an extent. But the world was fucked up, and if we could have this one moment where we were just loving each other and not worrying about the fucked-up shit outside of these walls, then I’d give it to her tenfold.

“Please, I need you,” she moaned, and I almost lost it right then. I nearly came without even being inside of her.

I couldn’t stop myself anymore. I wanted Lily. Only her.

“When it comes to you, I have no control. None, Lily.” I wanted to devour every part of her. I wanted her to scream my name as I made her feel good. I wanted her to come for me as I licked every part of her body.

I wanted her to know that I was here for her, that I’d always be here for her and keep her safe. I saw her throat work as she swallowed. She was ready, so fucking primed I knew if I touched her in just the right way, she’d come for me.

I was going to last tonight.

“I want you.”

I groaned. “I’m so fucking hungry for you.” I wanted to hear her scream it out as she came for me, wanted our limbs a tangled mess and the sheets damp from our sweat as we fucked.

“I want you too, baby.”

“I want to be yours in every way.”

“You’re already mine. You’ve been mine.” I didn’t bother lying.

She licked her lips, and I was riveted to the sight. “You’re so beautiful.” I leaned forward and ran my tongue along the seam of her lips. With us now standing, I moved us backward until she was pressed against the front door, the wood stopping her so she couldn’t escape, if the thought even moved through her mind.

The scent of her surrounded me, filled my head, made me intoxicated. I ground my hard dick right up against her belly again, unable to help myself. She made this little gasp, and I growled in approval. “You feel that, how hard I am for you, how ready I am to take you?”

She had her head resting back on the door, her mouth parted, and her eyes half-closed.

“God. I need you, Lily.” I slipped my hand around her nape and curled my fingers, leaning down and running my tongue along the side of her throat, feeling her pulse beat harder, tasting the salty-sweet flavor of her skin. I licked at her throat again and again, needing so much more of her. She lifted her hands and placed them on my biceps, digging her fingers into my flesh. I loved the pain that slammed into me as her nails pierced my flesh. “I want you as mine forever,” I admitted.

“I am yours.”

I thrust my cock against her belly, needing that friction. But I forced myself to take a step back, moving away from her so I could look my fill. Her breasts were big, her nipples pink, hard.

She was ready.

I lifted my gaze to her face and saw how her pupils were dilated. Yeah, she was so fucking ready. I was painfully hard, my dick like steel between my legs. I was ready to fill her up, to make her take it all. Then I’d slowly pull out of her and watch as my cum slipped from her pussy.

God, I was a filthy fucking bastard.

She glanced down at where I gripped myself. “Oh. God,” she moaned. “I’m ready.”

Yeah, she was ready for me, and I wasn’t going to torment either of us any longer. I was back in front of her a second later, my body pressed to hers, the heat and scent from her claiming me, making me weak. I had my hands on her bottom, gripping the cheeks and lifting her off the ground. She wrapped her legs around my waist. I latched my mouth onto the slender column of her neck and turned and made my way toward the bedroom. I wasn’t going to fucking take her up against the front door even if I’d wanted to do just that earlier.

When she was on the center of the bed, her legs slightly parted and her pussy right there for me to see, I knew I wouldn’t be able to last very long. What I felt for Lily, what I wanted with her, was unlike anything I’d ever experienced or felt before. My arousal for her had been slowly building from the moment I saw her.

“I want to go slow, to make this good for you, but I’m hanging on by a thread here, baby.” I grabbed my dick and stroked myself again.

“I don’t want slow and easy. I want you.”

I groaned.

“Let me see that pussy, Lily.” And when she spread wide, I saw her glistening pussy. She was so fucking primed for me. I started stroking myself from root to tip, using the pre-cum that formed at the crown to lubricate my length. I kept my focus between her thighs, her pink, slightly swollen pussy lips making my mouth water.

I ran my palm over the crest of my cock again, my whole body tense.

“I want to see your finger showing me where I’ll be buried soon enough.” If I made her touch her clit, rub herself furiously, would she come for me? I wanted to be inside her the first time she came. “Touch yourself.” I wondered if she’d touched her pussy before, if she ever thought about me as she did it. “Move your hand between your thighs, rub yourself while you look at me. But don’t come, Lily. Wait until I’m buried so far inside that hot, wet pussy before you explode. I want to feel it. Feel you clench around my cock.”

She took in a stuttering breath.

“Let me watch you.” The scent of her made me drunk.

And because we were both so far gone, she did exactly what I wanted.
