“Oh,” she breathes.
“Take me how you want.”
She lowers slower, as if she’s counting every hard inch of my cock until she’s fully seated. “I did it.” Her eyes spark with accomplishment.
“You did it. And you feel so incredible.”
She lifts slightly, then lowers. Cautious at first, then starting a rhythm. Maneuvering her hips into different angles until she’s sliding on top of me like a pro, her tight walls making sure I feel every part of her.
“You’re so good at this.”
“Cade, I—” She looks down at me, then covers my mouth with hers, taking control of the kiss, her hips, everything. Her movements turn more frantic, her breaths quick pants.
God, I better think of something else before I ruin this for her.Smelly defenseman. My grandma’s laundry basket. Toads.
“I love your dick.”
Shit. Toenail clippings. Vomit.
None of it’s working. She’s grinding on my base like she can eke everything out of me. Her whole body shakes. “Oh my God, this dick. Cade, it’s everything.”
I run my hands up her back, giving her extra support. Sweat sprouts there as her cries become more intense.
It’s getting harder and harder to hold back. I’ve already got that feeling in my balls that I could let loose at any moment. “Fucking hell, Charley. I’m going to come.”
“Now?”
I grind my jaw down. “I’m close.”
Lowering my hands to her hips, I still let her have control, but I can’t hold it anymore. I come hard, pulling her close and slamming inside her with a moan.
She lets out a short cry, then her pussy squeezes me—thankfully—making my orgasm that much more intense.
She drops her head to my shoulder. “That was amazing.”
“I didn’t think I was going to last,” I confess. “You got me feeling like a rookie.”
She works her hands up the nape of my neck. “Why does that make me happy?”
“Because you’re evil.”
“That’s me,” she teases. “Mmm. I don’t want to move.”
My brain gets carried away with that statement. It takes us way out into the future, and I can see Charley and I doing this long-term. Through ups and downs. After college. Way after college.
For a moment, I wrap my arms around her, letting us be who we are right now. If my past has taught me anything, it’s that the present counts the most. And right now, I just want to hold Charley to me.

Charley
The nights are getting colder. Cade drops me off, my lips still buzzing from when he thoroughly kissed me after tonight’s home game. I’m not going to lie, it’s nice that he knows about my dad and my house now for the sheer fact that getting dropped off and picked up is a lot nicer than walking in this cold weather.
He waits until my hand hits the gate and I’m walking toward the house before he pulls away from the curb. I turn to wave at him, staying in place while I watch his red taillights disappear in the distance.
“Charlotte?”
I freeze. A familiar warmth encompasses me, but it’s quickly drowned out by icy panic. I turn to see a woman walking toward me, her silver hair glinting in the moonlight. A scarf adorns her neck, and her cheeks are red, eyes dewy.
