Beyond the Bases

“I missed you,” he says against my lips.

“I was gone maybe an hour,” I say with a laugh. I don’t mention that he didn’t give me the opportunity to use the garage door opener.

“That’s too long, Ris. Too fucking long.” His lips trail across my jaw and down my neck. I tilt my head, giving him better access. “I need to get you inside.” He nips at my earlobe and steps away, grabbing my hand and leading me inside. He hits the button of the garage door on the way in. I watch as we stop at a small white box on the wall and he engages the alarm system, then let him guide me upstairs to his room.

In his room, he turns to face me. I expect him to kiss me again, but he doesn’t. Instead, he pulls his T-shirt over his head and drops it to the floor. All the while, his eyes are locked on mine. Before I arrived, I’d already decided I was all-in for wherever this ride leads us, so I follow suit. I lift my tank top up and over my head, dropping it on top of his shirt. There’s a slight tremble in my hands. It’s been a long time for me.

Eyes still locked with mine, he pushes his shorts to the floor, stepping out of them. Tit for tat, I unzip my jeans shorts and slide them down my legs, kicking them to the side as well.

“I can’t believe you’re here.” His voice is a husky whisper. “I’ve thought about this moment so many times.”

Feeling brave from the hunger in his eyes, I reach behind my back and unclasp my bra. Slowly, I drop one strap then the other, holding the cups in place. His eyes burn with intensity, the brown orbs looking black from desire. I drop my bra at my feet, leaving us both in nothing but boxer briefs and a thin black lace thong.I just about swallow my fucking tongue. The woman before me is perfect. The swell of her breasts and her pert pink nipples beg for my mouth. I thought I’d know what I was going to see from her barely there bikini but that scrap of thread was hiding more than I could have imagined.

All of her.

Every inch is perfection.

Stepping forward, I test the weight of her breast in the palm of my hand. Firm. Round. Perfect. Not able to hold back, I bend my head and suck one into my mouth, nipping her tight nipple with my teeth, then soothing it with my tongue.

“East,” she murmurs, which only fuels my desire. Moving my mouth to her other breast, I lavish it with attention as well. Before the night is through, I want my tongue to have traced every inch of her.

“What, baby?” I ask. I know damn well what she wants.

Me.

She’s in luck, because I want her just as fiercely. Stepping back from her, I make quick work of stripping out of my boxer briefs. “I need you naked, Ris.” She doesn’t hesitate to pull the thin scrap of fabric down her legs. “On the bed, baby.” Again, she complies and climbs up on the bed, where just hours ago we slept with her daughter between us.

A family.

Paisley’s words ring in my ears. I want that. I want them. I won’t stop until I prove that to her. On my knees, I settle between her legs, taking my fill of her. “You’re mine now, Larissa. I can’t come back from this moment. Tell me you understand that.” This need I have for her, for them to be in my life is strong. I know it’s fast, but damn if I want it to slow down. Not until I know they’re mine.

She nods.

“I need your words, baby.” Reaching out, I trace the lips of her pussy with my index finger, causing her to whimper.

“I’m yours,” she pants.

“Both of you, Ris. Not just you. I need both my girls.” I don’t know why, but it feels important that I clarify that before I make love to her. She nods again, which is good enough for me. Reaching into the nightstand, I grab a condom and roll it down my hard length. “I want to drive you wild. I want to kiss every inch of your skin, but right now, I need you. I promise I’ll make it up to you, but right now….” I don’t know how to tell her of this need I have inside me without sounding like a selfish prick.

Turns out I don’t have to. Larissa reaches between us and palms me, stroking root to tip. She then aligns me with her entrance, lifting her hips, showing me she wants me just as badly as I want her. Leaning over her, I brace my weight on my arms on either side of her head.
