Everything inside of me ignited. I wanted her with an intensity I hadn’t felt before. There was a storm raging in my chest. One side said to claim her now, to sink my cock into her, but the other side wanted to slow down, to experience every beautiful second of our coming together.
“Lie down on the bed,” I insisted through gritted teeth.
She didn’t waste any time getting into position, with her feet dangling off the bed. I knelt, using my shoulders to widen her legs as I parted her folds, her sweet scent drifting to my nostrils. “You’re beautiful. I can’t ever get enough of you.”
When I licked her softly, she sighed, as if she’d been waiting for this connection all day. I hoped she felt the touch, not only in her clit, but in her heart. Every touch, every lick of my tongue, solidified something inside of me. That I was doing the right thing.
I reveled in every sigh and whimper, determined to drive her over the edge.
Her fingers gripped my hair, tugging and pulling. The sting in my scalp was a welcome sensation as I redoubled my efforts to make her come. I used one finger, then two, to slide into her wet heat.
Her thighs trembled around me as her hips arched off the bed, and her pussy spasmed around my fingers. I sucked hard on her clit, wanting to draw her orgasm out as long as I could.
Too soon, she was pulling me onto the bed. “I need you, Sebastian.”
I needed her more. I needed to feel her walls surrounding me, convulsing, sucking me in. I lined my cock with her entrance and, with one thrust, was deep inside her, the woman I’d loved for most of my life.
How had I not seen any of this earlier? That coming together would be combustible? That Hanna was way more than a friend. She was the love of my life. If only I’d seen it sooner, if I hadn’t resisted.
I moved over her, wrapping an arm around her waist to shift her higher up the bed so that my body was covering her, and I felt every inch of her skin.
With every flick of my hips, I felt her slide deeper into my soul. She gazed up at me with so much wonder in her eyes. I wanted to reassure her that everything would be okay. That nothing would change. That we’d be friends and lovers forever.
But I couldn’t make those promises. I knew things could change on a dime. Ember’s mother could return at any time, or a parent could drop dead. There were no guarantees in life, no matter how much I wanted one.
All we had was this moment, and I wouldn’t waste any more time. Hanna is mine. The words repeated as an affirmation in my head. With each press inside her, the tingle in my spine intensified.
Hanna was the one for me, and I was done hiding or pretending it wasn’t the truth. “You are mine,” I said as everything broke inside me, and I split into a million fragments.
I was pressed deep inside her, and I didn’t want to move. I lowered my head to her shoulder, wishing we didn’t have to leave this bed. That the outside world couldn’t penetrate. But as I rolled to my side, bringing her with me, I knew I couldn’t avoid reality. Not forever.
Her body was soft and pliant against mine, her thighs slick with my release. I eased away from her and walked into the bathroom, wetting a washcloth with warm water before returning to bed and cleaning her.
Hanna grabbed my wrist as I moved to discard the washcloth. “Can you hold me?”
I tossed the washcloth to the side and gathered her to me. I kissed her temple, smoothing her hair away from her face.
“Something changed tonight,” Hanna said.
“I talked to Ember about us.”
“And she was really okay with it?” Her voice was soft, tentative.
“More than. She said she loves you, and she wanted to know if you’d be her mother.” I hadn’t addressed that comment because Ember was sleepy, and I was caught up in her approval of us being together.
“She has a mother,” Hanna said softly.
“Not one that deserves the title. A mother is someone who shows up with love and support, every second of every day.” Not that a parent had to be present twenty-four seven, but a child should feel that love.
Hanna smiled softly. “Are you sure about this? We can’t go back and change it once we tell her we’re together.”
“I don’t want to go back to the way things were. I’m all in with you—with us. I want this to work.” I didn’t like Hanna pulling away, shielding herself from me. “I want to kiss you in the morning when you come down those stairs. I want to hug you before you leave for work. I want all your small moments and your big moments.”
Her eyes searched mine. “You’re usually so cautious.”
“I know it’s hard to believe, but this time, I’m not stopping to analyze every angle. I’m not saying I haven’t done that already, but I’m not doing it anymore. I want to ride this wave with you, and I can’t do that if I’m questioning everything.”
“I know letting go is hard for you. I won’t let you regret it.” From the uncertain expression on her face, she didn’t believe me. Not entirely. She expected me to fall into my old way of thinking. It would take her a while to trust in us, but I was patient.
