"Shit," I growled as I pulled back out, just as slowly as I had entered, watching her body's response to my deliberate pace.
Her breaths came faster, her chest rising and falling in rhythm with mine. Her arms encircled my neck, pulling me closer until our chests were pressed together, sharing every heartbeat, every quiver. Our mouths met in a soft, languid kiss, tongues exploring and reacquainting.
"I love you," she whispered against my lips, and the weight of those words felt like an anchor, pulling me deeper into her embrace.
I tilted my head to look into her eyes, searching for any hint of hesitation. "I love you, too," I replied, the words thick with emotion.
Her fingers tangled in my hair, holding me close. "Austin, please," she murmured, her voice breaking as she spoke. "I need you."
The intensity of her words, the raw need in her voice, was all I needed to hear. I adjusted my angle, pushing in deeper, savoring every second, every inch. The sensation was almost too much to bear, and I could feel my control slipping.
Her legs wrapped around my waist, pulling me even closer, urging me to move faster. But I resisted, wanting to savor this moment, to make it last as long as possible. I wanted to memorize every gasp, every moan, every whispered word.
Her nails dug into my back, her body arched up to meet mine. "Fucking hell, Austin," she moaned, her voice filled with desperation. "Don't tease me like this."
I smiled, leaning down to capture her lips in a passionate kiss. "Who said anything about teasing?" I murmured against her lips, thrusting deeper, making her gasp in pleasure.
Her fingers gripped my shoulders, holding on tight as I continued my deliberate pace, savoring every second, every sensation. I could feel her body tightening around me, her breaths coming faster, her moans growing louder.
"I'm close," she whimpered, her body trembling beneath me.
I nodded, my own breath ragged as I tried to maintain control. "Me too," I replied, my voice hoarse with desire.
With one final, deep thrust, we both toppled over the edge, our bodies shaking with the force of our climax. I buried my face in her neck, holding her close, savoring the feel of her body against mine.
I pulled her into a tight embrace, pressing a soft kiss to her forehead. "I love you," I whispered, my voice filled with emotion.
She smiled up at me, her eyes shining with tears. "I love you too," she replied, her voice breaking.
And as we lay there, wrapped in each other's arms, I realized I had found my forever. And I would do anything to keep it.
The warmth of her body enveloped me as we nestled into each other's embrace. The afterglow was potent, our bodies intertwined, basking in the soft hue of the dimmed bedroom lights. The smell of us, a mix of sweat and that undeniable chemistry, hung thick in the air. It was a sweet reminder of what we just shared, an intimacy so deep, it felt like we'd broken down another layer of barriers.
I kissed the top of her head, her hair damp with sweat but smelling intoxicatingly like strawberries. She sighed contentedly against my chest, her fingers lazily tracing patterns across my skin. We lay there for a moment, silent, absorbing the weight of the evening.
"Hey," I started, my voice soft, almost hesitant. I felt her stir, her bright eyes looking up at me. God, she was gorgeous. "Ever think about, you know, kids?"
She blinked, caught off guard. "Kids?"
I chuckled, feeling a little sheepish. "Yeah, you know, tiny humans, running around causing chaos."
She laughed, that beautiful, hearty laugh that always made me grin. "Oh, you mean those! Well, yeah, of course. I've thought about it. Maybe two... or three." She paused, biting her lip. "What about you?"
I nodded, my heart doing that weird fluttery thing it did whenever I thought of the future with Paisley. "Definitely. I mean, I've always seen myself with a family, you know? A couple of kids, a dog, the whole white-picket-fence deal."
She grinned. "Sounds perfect." Then with a playful smirk added, "Though I'd swap the white picket fence for a beachfront house. You know, waking up to the sound of waves every day. That's the dream."
My eyebrows shot up in genuine surprise. "A beach house, huh? You always struck me as a countryside girl."
She rolled her eyes. "Oh, please. One can love the tranquility of the country and still fantasize about sipping cocktails on a sandy beach."
I laughed, giving her a quick peck on the lips. "Alright, beach house it is."
There was a comfortable silence then, but my mind raced. There was so much about me she didn't know. The role I played in Valle di Sole, the responsibilities I bore. It felt wrong keeping her in the dark, especially now that things were getting serious between us. But the timing… the atmosphere was too charged, too intimate to bring up my secrets.
She must've sensed the shift in my mood because she nudged me gently. "Penny for your thoughts?"
I hesitated, swallowing hard. "Just... thinking about how much there still is to learn about each other."
