He said it through tortured pleasure, jagged breaths that grew heavier, more forceful as he drew close. His strokes were growing shorter now, tighter, and causing a friction against my clit that felt mind-numbingly good, especially because I knew Adam was in heaven himself, seconds from erupting inside me. His every muscle felt tense, hard like concrete, and I knew it was because he was desperately staving off his climax, trying to make this pleasure last forever.
“I swear to God,” he murmured raggedly, his forehead pressed against mine. “Every morning. Just this. That’s all I need.”
I was in oblivion, his words spiraling me into a place so perfect it felt like fantasy,
and when his lips sealed against mine, I felt myself quickly unravel.
“That’s it,” Adam whispered as he kissed me deeply, with urgency, sliding his tongue against mine and sweeping it furiously through my mouth till a second orgasm crashed through my body, taking the last of his restraint.
I gasped as I felt his heat burst inside me, my pussy spasming around his throbbing cock and drawing out the most delectably guttural sounds from deep in his chest. My eyes were closed, my mouth smiling as his strong body collapsed against my front, his dick giving a last jerk inside me.
The pitter patter of the water continued to rain down as we recovered, our bodies still entwined, our lips still panting for breath. We were in no rush at all to come down from our heights, so kissing softly, we didn’t.
And I was grateful for that.
In a little bit, I would be telling myself things. Reminding myself that words spoken in the heat of the moment could mean nothing at all. But for now, I basked in Adam’s arms, in a fantasyland where it was just and this moment.
And absolutely nothing else.

Despite working up an appetite, we lay in bed for the next few hours. But when hunger hit Adam, it hit him like a speeding train, and before I knew it, I was laughing in bed, watching him growl with hunger while getting hastily dressed.
“But where are we going to go?” I said, since we were craving breakfast, but it was well past breakfast hours. Adam flashed that irresistible dimple, making a pshh sound as he pulled up his jeans.
“I got you,” he grinned.
And twenty minutes later, we were together at the one place he never went with anyone: Gizzy’s.
“Whoa, whoa, whoa. What happened to ‘this is my secret spot, I come here alone’?”
The ribbing came from the Lakers hoodie-wearing dad sitting at a picnic table on the patio with his grinning wife and kid.
“Same thing that happened to ‘I’m quitting coffee,’” Adam laughed as the man pushed his coffee toward his young son.
“This is Ryan’s,” he said, making Adam laugh before introducing me to the table—and then eventually, to two other tables and a pair of waitresses. We’d had several full conversations before we could even get to his usual round table in the corner.
“My God. So you’re basically the mayor of Gizzy’s,” I said.
“Basically,” he laughed just as I saw a familiar face coming out to greet us from the kitchen. It was Heidi, the owner of Gizzy’s who I could already see jumping to conclusions.
“Hi, Heidi,” I said, already blushing through my smile, because she had a big, open-mouthed grin frozen on her face as she looked between Adam and me. I burst out laughing when Adam briefly buried his face in his hand.
“I’m sorry!” Heidi said to him, hands on her hips, pretending to be defensive. “It’s just we’re so used to seeing you come here solo, so it’s so nice to see you two together for once.”
She put such an emphasis on the word “together” that Adam laughed and said, “Alright, take it easy.”
“Fine, fine,” Heidi said, doing a poor job of suppressing her delight before taking our orders and disappearing back into the kitchen.
Once we were finally alone, I smiled. “Wow. They really treat you like family here huh?”
“Yeah,” Adam grinned. “Speaking of family.”
“Your sister’s coming in tomorrow,” I said.
“Yeah,” Adam nodded. And for the next few moments we just looked at each other with the same slightly awkward, close-lipped smile we gave Heidi, because we both knew what was on our minds.
