The chattering birds fade away. The trees blur together, and the whispering breeze falls quiet. There’s nothing but my girl.

Her eager mouth against mine; our ragged breaths mingling in the mountain air. Her frantic hands yanking and twisting my t-shirt; her toned thighs squeezing my waist. It’s everything I remembered and more, because this time it’s not a stolen moment together in the darkness.

This time it’s for keeps.

How the hell did I ever get so lucky?

“Mine.” My words are muffled against her mouth, but Tess moans in agreement. “You’re mine, angel. Mine.”

She nods feverishly, barely breaking the kiss as she reaches between us to work at my belt. “I’m yours, Ash. Forever.”

It takes some juggling, but we shed her shorts and underwear once more, then I spin us around to rest Tess’s ass in the hammock. She swings a little, legs kicking, as I tug my belt fully open and unzip, then welcomes me between her spread thighs.

“Need you,” I mutter, lining up with her entrance. “Need you right this second. Are you ready for me, Tess? Christ, I can feel how slick you are.”

“I’m ready.” Fingernails dig into my shoulders as she yanks me closer, closer. “Do it. Oh my god, do it.”

She’s impatient, but she’s right. We’ve waited far too long.

Breath held, heart thudding… I press forward and sink home.

Thirteen

Tess

Big.

This man is big all over. Jeez Louise. As his cock nudges inside me, my body tenses up and my breath seizes in my chest. Ash murmurs support, rubbing gentle circles on my back, and he stops and refuses to move another inch until the tension has drained from my muscles once again.

That’s the pattern at first: press forward, tense up, pause. Press forward, tense up, pause. And it’s probably the least sexy routine ever, but Ash doesn’t seem to mind one bit.

No, he’s too busy peppering my face and neck with hot kisses, rumbling under his breath about how perfect I am, how lucky he is, how he’ll spend his whole life working to deserve me. And all the while, my body stings where his thick girth nudges inside, until finally… I start to relax.

It gets slicker down there, with a pleasant tickle every time his body moves against mine. My inner muscles stop fighting him, and try to suck him deeper instead. And he’s still big enough to make my eyes cross, but oh god, this feels good too.

Because it’s Ash. Inside me, and plastered against my front. Clutching me against his chest, and all around me.

In this moment, Ash is my whole universe. And you know what? I’ve never felt safer. Never been more cherished or turned on.

I love him. Holy shit, I love this man.

How did that happen, and in only a few days? How did my whole world tip upside down?

“Yes.” My nails dig into his shoulders, and my hips roll to coax him deeper. Ash lets out a low grunt, feeding me another inch. “Yes. Oh my god, yes.”

His chuckle is breathless. “You’re doing wonders for my ego right now, angel.”

Ha! Well, good.

Of all the people I’ve ever met, this man deserves to feel like a hero. Like a king.

“Can feel your heartbeat down there.” Ash’s jaw is taut, his words gritted between clenched teeth. As though his control is hanging by a thread, and if he lets go, he’ll pound me into oblivion.

Don’t hate that thought.

“You’re so tight. So wet. Goddamn, Tess, you feel like heaven.”

Our chests both heave in tandem as Ash thrusts an another inch inside. When he draws out again slowly, his shaft is glossy with my slick.
