She had my head spinning.

An hour ago I’d been ready for a quiet evening with a book, maybe a beer or two, then the love of my fucking life shows up on my doorstep in tiny shorts and boots and winds up half-naked in my arms.

She pulled back and watched me carefully, her arms loose around my neck, her chest just a whisper from mine.

“If we do this, I need to know you’re gonna stick around,” I said softly.

She had me feeling my most vulnerable. My heart was bare, unprotected. It always was with her. I didn’t know how not to lay everything on the line.

“I’m here, Will. And I don’t want to go anywhere. You’re where I want to be. I want you and I want to be yours.”

I stroked her cheek with the back of my hand. “You sure?”

“So sure. But if you don’t touch me right now, I’m going to be really pissed at you.”

I grinned and trailed my hand from her cheek, down her neck and over her shoulders. How a woman in patent leather thigh-highs managed to look elegant was a mystery, but Anna did. Her porcelain neck was both regal and delicate. Her collarbones were almost dainty, the fine bones prominent. I kissed along the line of her shoulders, licking the V where the bones met at the base of her neck.

She let her head fall back, her arms around my shoulders, her fingers toying with my hair.

I moved away from her and she groaned, slowly tilting her head back to look at me.

“Where’d you go?” she whimpered.

I rubbed my eye with the heel of my hand. “I… Fuck! I can’t go slow with you. Not this time.”

She sucked in a ragged breath at my words, then crashed into me, jumping up and wrapping her legs around my waist. She took my mouth hard, pushing her tongue in and moaning when she found mine.

With her ass gripped in my hands, I carried her over to the counter and set her on the edge. Without breaking away from her lips, I reached between us and unbuttoned her shorts. She made little mewling sounds as she lifted her hips to let me push them off.

Of course her shorts got stuck on her boots. Nothing between us seemed to go perfectly smoothly, but I’d accepted that. The best part of us was that we could laugh this shit off.

“Oops!” she said, giggling.

I went to work on her boots, sliding down the zipper and stepping back to yank them off of her. Once they were both off, along with her shorts, I paused and drank her in. From her creamy, soft legs that went on forever, to the pale thatch of hair between her thighs, to the flare of her hips and nip of her waist, she was a feast and I’d only covered half of her. Her belly button was small and perfectly round. I bent over and kissed it, my tongue rimming around its edges. Anna moaned and cradled my head against her stomach, her legs shifting and rubbing together.

“Will, go up or down— something! Please!”

I grinned against her velvet skin and kissed a line up her torso until I reached her teardrop tits. I cupped them in my hands and finally met her eyes. She licked her upper lip and arched her back, inviting me. Leaning in, I took her pale pink nipple in my mouth and we both let out matching groans.

Anna wrapped her legs around my waist, pulling my hips snugly into her center. She was so very naked, and I could feel her wet heat through my jeans. I tugged at her nipple, then let go with a pop.

“I’m gonna take you now. You ready, Annie?”

She tilted her pelvis up and rubbed herself along my length. “Need you,” she said weakly.

Keeping a grip on her waist, I used my free hand to push my jeans and underwear off, and we were finally skin-to-skin. I rocked against her, my dick sliding through her slick folds.

She fumbled in the tote bag next to her and pulled out a condom. She handed me the packet, and I ripped it open and slid it down my shaft as quickly as possible.

Anna dug her fingers into my shoulders and leaned her forehead on mine. “I need you, Will. Please.”

Her desperate pleas were irresistible; they were also almost my undoing. I had to take a long deep breath and think about baseball or I would have come all over her thigh.

When I’d pulled myself back from the edge, I grabbed my length and guided it to her opening. I looked at her, and she stared back, her eyes wide and unwavering. I pushed in and she kept her gaze locked on me as her lips parted and her fingers curled into my skin. With every inch, I watched her, making sure she was with me, that she was feeling me. When I was completely inside her, I stopped and stroked her cheeks and neck and chest. Anna sighed and squeezed me from the inside.

“Are you trying to torture me?” she asked, her voice thick and husky.

“I’m sorry, baby. I just need a second. I’m kinda overwhelmed here.”

“Oh, Will.” She wrapped her arms and legs around me, holding me tenderly. This was already so different than our first time together. I’d been so caught up in having sex, I hadn’t even paid attention to how Anna was feeling.

I started to move, slowly, my mouth clamped on her shoulder, my hands cupping her ass. She moaned and rocked with me as she ran her hands down my arms and up over my shoulders.

“Does that feel good, Annie? You like that?” I pumped into her with more force, going deep, but still sliding out agonizingly slow.

“Yes! Yes, yes, yes!”

I let go of her shoulder to look at her. Her eyes were open and full of everything. Passion. Arousal. Affection. Love. She let me see it all.

I ran my thumbs roughly over her cheeks and along her jaw, holding her face steady. But she never tried to look away. Even as I moved faster and her pants grew more frantic, she stayed with me, her eyes locked on mine.

I reached between us and circled her clit with my fingers. She tightened all over, yanking at my hair, squeezing my dick, knees digging into my hips.

“I can’t...I’m not gonna last,” I growled.

“Oh, god, me either.”

And she didn’t. I pinched her swollen bud between my fingers and pumped into her once, twice, three times and she went flying. She moaned and writhed against me, pulling me in as deep as I could go. Her head tipped back and I latched onto her pretty neck, sucking the delicate skin as I followed her over the edge.

This time we jumped together and we fucking soared.
