And then her mouth was hot and wet on the head of my cock, tongue swirling around the slit, and I whimpered in relief. My hands reached behind me and found nothing but the pillow under my head, so I grabbed the corners because I needed something to hold on to, or I was going to hurt someone.

Lila pulled her mouth back slowly, sucking hard, and then flicked her tongue against the frenulum and sucked gently at my cock head. My hips nearly bucked her into the roof. With a low laugh, she pushed me down again. She placed one hand on my thigh to hold me still, and her other hand circled the base of my cock.

And then she set a pace that nearly drove me mad. Slow and steady, sucking and licking, every stroke taking me a little further, and then a little more, until I felt the tip of my cock hit the back of her throat, snug and warm.

“Lila. Oh, fuck.” My toes curled, my whole body strung tight.

Her hair formed a red curtain around her, blocking a view that I very much wanted to see. I reached down and scooped her hair into a ponytail. She looked up at me and gave me the prettiest show I’d ever seen, those plump lips stretched tight over my cock, her eyes huge and limpid in the darkness.

“I’m going to come if you don’t stop,” I panted.

“All right,” she said, and didn’t stop.

I tugged her hair. “Baby, please,” I begged, not knowing if I was asking her to keep going or asking her for something else. I wanted everything.

She slowly pulled off me, and I had to fight like hell to keep from blowing right then and there. Her lips were shiny and wet. She crawled up my body and planted a kiss on my mouth.

“Is there something else you want?” she asked.

“This.” I rolled her to her back, pushed her panties to the side, and found her wet and warm. She made a noise against my mouth. A soft, hungry noise.

“You got this wet from sucking my dick?” I circled her clit with my index finger, then gave it a little tap. She made that noise again, hungrier now, and my cock twitched in answer. I needed to be inside her. Now. “Fuck, baby, I can’t wait.”

I rolled on top of her without bothering to take her underwear off, lined my dick up with her opening, and slid home with one deep thrust. This time my groan mingled with hers. For a moment, I was afraid I was going to lose control, right there on the first thrust. It felt so damn good. I had to take a moment to catch my breath.

I pulled back slowly, her perfect pussy pulsing around me, then pushed inside again. This time I didn’t pull out again. I just rocked against her, tiny little thrusts that set my pubic bone against her clit with the exact pressure I knew she needed.

“Seb,” she whispered. Her hands moved restlessly on my spine. “Don’t stop doing that.”

“Never,” I whispered back.

“I’m so close.” Her voice had a raw, desperate edge. Her knees clamped my hips. “Please don’t stop.”

I gritted my teeth. I wanted to fuck her like a goddamn Viking, but I changed not one single thing about what I was doing to her.

“Oh, god,” she burst out, and her pussy clamped hard on my dick, over and over and over again, setting off a million tiny electric sparks at the base of my spine.

And then I moved. Hard and fast and rough. Lila wrapped her legs and arms around me, holding on for dear life, and that only made me go faster. My vision blurred. I came harder than I’d ever come in my life, pushing my face into the pillow next to her head and roaring into it. Oh, fuck.

We lay there for a moment, panting, before a gentle poke at my side made me realize I was squishing her. I rolled to my back, and she immediately curled into my side with her cheek on my chest, exhaling a contented sigh.

I counted her breaths until they were deep and even, with that soft little snore that told me she was soundly asleep. Then I finally closed my eyes.

I had never been so happy.

For the first time in weeks, I didn’t dream. No torn limbs, no fruitless searching, no blood. I woke up to Lila wrapped around me like a python, rolled her naked, sleep-warm body onto mine, and thrust up into her. It was a slow, drowsy fuck that made my chest ache, but this ache was different. This ache was good.

I was just so damn happy.

“I don’t think I’ve ever been on this side of Relly before. It’s like a whole new world over here.” Lila stared out the passenger-side window as I drove us back to Mercy River, riveted by the same trees and mountains we had seen on our drive in. “Incredible.”

You’re incredible, I thought.

She tucked a wayward curl behind her ear and grinned. “Thank you. I’ve always thought so,” she said, and I realized I’d spoken the words out loud.
