“I need you,” she whispered, wrapping her legs around his waist.

With one smooth thrust, he entered her, filling her completely. They both gasped at the sensation, their bodies perfectly joined beneath the open sky.

Alfie began to move, setting a rhythm that had her meeting him thrust for thrust. His eyes never left hers, the connection between them transcending the physical as they moved together in perfect harmony.

Alfie cupped her breast in his hand, his calloused palm creating delicious friction against her sensitive skin as he massaged her soft flesh. His thumb and forefinger found her nipple, teasing the hardened peak with gentle twists that sent sparks of pleasure straight to her core. Marion gasped, arching into his touch as he lavished attention on both breasts, alternating between tender caresses and more insistent pressure. The friction of his touch sent electric currents racing through her body as his skilled hands worked their magic on her sensitive flesh.

She bit down on her lower lip as he increased his tempo, driving deeper with each thrust. Her inner walls clenched around him as her body trembled on the precipice of release. Marion wrapped her legs tighter around his waist, her fingernails digging into his shoulders as she matched his pace.

Alfie slipped a hand beneath her and held her close as he jerked into her hard, filling her with his essence. His thrusts set off a chain reaction in her body and she came, her inner walls pulsing around him as the mountain breeze caressed her heated skin.

When they were both completely spent, Alfie rolled to his side, pulling her close against his chest. He pressed a tender kiss to her forehead, his fingers tracing lazy patterns on her bare shoulder.

“I love you,” he murmured against her hair.

Marion smiled, feeling utterly content in his arms. “I love you, too.”

As she lay there, she realized it was never too late to fully bloom.
