I smile and gaze into his lust-filled eyes. They’re so dark blue they’re the sky at midnight. Magical, life-altering, earth-shattering.
“Evan…I…I…” I honestly don’t know what to say to him. To solidify what this means to me. How he makes me feel. How very much I’m gone for him. Lost to this man I barely know and yet I know almost better than I know myself. More than anything, however, I feel safe.
He lifts his body up, and shifts down the mattress, his gaze stretching all over my body and then back up to my face.
Evan smiles and it lights up my fucking world. The way he sees me. How beautiful I feel lying under him. He makes me feel special, priceless.
He presses a finger to my mouth. “I know. I feel it too.”
I swallow and nod, my heart ripped open and bleeding for this man.
Evan purses his lips, his features changing from soft and adoring to cute and teasing. “Sadie, my love, this is the best moment of my fucking life.” I chuckle and he bites into his bottom lip. “I think it’s only fair that we start this very special act with one thing and one thing only.”
I narrow my eyes and grin, kicking my feet under him where he’s straddling my thighs.
“Oh, and what pray tell is that very special act?”
He waggles his brows and runs his hand down the front of his impressively tented boxer briefs. “It’s time you finally show me your tits, princess. I want those beauties offered up to me.”
Aw, thank God, teasing Evan is back. One moment we’re so intertwined and intense I can hardly breathe, the next easygoing and comfortable. I can definitely handle a lifetime of this.* * *
EVANFinally having her in my hands is sending my brain straight into overload. I can’t think beyond her and me and now. The building could be burning down and I wouldn’t even notice. With a shimmy and a grin, Sadie drags up the sports bra, baring her chest to me. Best breasts ever.
“Hello, new best friends,” I say solemnly, placing a gentle kiss on each pink nipple. They’re already hard little peaks, making my mouth water.
Sadie’s laughter turns into moaning as I give in to temptation and suck on one. Licking and gently biting at the sweet tip. Her hips churn, rubbing her thong-covered pussy against me. And Christ, I can smell her. Her arousal. It scents the room and makes my already rock-hard dick weep with need.
I may as well just tattoo the girl’s name on my forehead now and be done with it. Because I haven’t gotten inside her yet and she already owns me. The fact that I told a woman I loved her for the first time stays in the back of my mind, just waiting for a what-the-fuck with a dash of fear. Every single male instinct in me is on high alert. Like belonging with someone, having them in my face day in and day out is some shitty fate I should be running from as fast I can. Only it isn’t happening. I meant what I said and I’m exactly where I want to be. As Sadie said, we’re meant to be.
“Evan,” she says, concern in her voice. Which is not what I want to hear at all. A little line is embedded between her brows. “What if we don’t have chemistry?”
“What?” Now I’m just confused. With no blood left in my brain, it happens easy enough. Still the words and their insane meaning break through eventually. “Sadie. Baby. Does it feel like we don’t have chemistry?”
“Well, no. But what if we don’t fit?”
I grin.
She rolls her eyes. “I’m not talking about the size of your cock. I mean, what if we don’t gel in bed?”
I rest my forehead against her chest, getting my thoughts in order. “You’re right to have this concern, my love. In fact, I think we need to assume that you and I are going to need some time to figure out how best to sexually please one another. And we should commit to this side of our relationship here and now and plan for lots of fucking.”
“I’m being silly, aren’t I?”
I grin wide. “You’re wet. I’m hard. We’re both very excited and the signs are all good. There’s no need to assume we’re not going to be rockin’ in bed, darling.”
“Sorry. I’ll try to stop worrying.”
“No problem.” Heavy sigh. “Okay. Where was I?”
“Tits.”
“Right. Let’s move this along, shall we? Put your worries to bed, so to speak.” I lick my lips and slide my hands down her sides. Over the curve of her waist and the flare of her hips and ass. Juicy like a peach, just as I thought. Definitely going to bite that later. Then I hook my fingers in either side of her thong and drag it down her legs. She helpfully curls them up, allowing me to get rid of the offending item of lingerie faster. “You have such cute little feet. Look at those toes.”
