CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE

LUKE

D ayna is in my bathroom as she begins brushing her teeth.

I wrap my arms around her waist and bring my chin down to her shoulders.

“I like having you here.” She rinses out her mouth and turns to me.

“I like being here.” She kisses my neck and I un-link my arms from her.

I reach for my toothbrush and toothpaste to begin brushing my teeth.

I look over through the mirror at Dayna, she’s fixing her hair with her fingers.

The smell of her strawberry shampoo lingers from the shower. That is something I can get used to.

Dayna is standing beside me with her hip to the counter. I pick her up by her thighs, turning to put her on the bathroom countertop. She lets out a playful giggle. She has no idea how many times I have thought about taking her to my bed. My heart is racing inside my chest.

I stand between her legs and push my hips into her warm center.

A gasp escapes her beautiful lips and I kiss her deeply in reply.

Rubbing circles on her pajama clad thighs.

“Can I take you to bed?” She nods her head as she wraps her arms around my neck.

The pressure from her thighs wrapped around my waist is so tight, I can feel the heat between her legs through her pajama bottoms.

I walk us both to my bed and pull my navy blue duvet out as I lay her down in the middle of my bed.

Her dark brown hair fans over the pillowcase.

I kneel down on the bed as it shifts with my weight.

Crawling over her, I lean in to kiss her neck.

My hands explore her body as she’s exploring my back muscles with the brush of her fingertips.

She looks so good on my bed. I love the sight of her underneath me.

“Fuck, you are so beautiful, Dayna.” I kiss her deeply and fully.

With the neediness of her kisses she breathes out another moan.

“Luke, I need you naked right now.”

“Slow down love, I want to take my time with you.”

I take off my shirt and her eyes travel the length of my torso.

The look of desire has her face crimson red, it’s a trait of hers I never get tired of seeing.

In a swift motion, I flip us over and she’s straddling me as I lean against the headboard.

I reach up underneath her shirt. Her breasts are so full and her nipples are hard peaks.

She drops her head back and lets out another moan but a little louder this time.

“Luke…” She sighs.

“I know, Baby.”

Giving her nipple a tighter squeeze, she brings her eyes back to me.

“Do you think you could be my good girl and keep your moans down?”

“I can try.” She says as she giggles.

I pull her shirt over her head and I put my mouth on her breast and suck on her nipple. My tongue flicks at it, I just know if I gave her other nipple attention, she’d come undone right here. I release her nipple while she reaches between her legs to grab my cock.

Dayna begins to stroke it through my pajama pants. Then she adjusts herself for the friction she is desperately searching for.

“Do you feel how hard you make me?”

Without answering, she starts to move her hips in a circular motion and I almost come right there.

Her warm hands explore my chest, feeling every ridge and dip of my body.

Needing to be inside her and wanting her to be in control but still wanting to guide her, I switch our positions.

Settling between her legs, I pull my pajama pants and boxer briefs down.

I tug on Dayna’s waistband and she lifts her hips up for me to get the rest of her clothes off.

I throw them on the floor and I look up at her naked body.

She bites her lower lip. “I want you so bad, Luke.” I widened her legs open with my knees and grazed my hands with her thighs until I slipped a finger between her slit.

“Fuck, you’re so wet, are you ready for me?”

“I’m ready, Luke.” She moans out.

I slip another finger inside of her and she winces.

I pause and she tells me she’s okay. “I’m going to try to stretch you out.

I don’t want to hurt you when I’m inside you.

” She nods and I begin pumping two fingers inside her pussy and I rub her clit with my thumb.

Dayna arches her back and hooks one leg around my waist. I take out my fingers and lick the tips.

“You taste so goddamn sweet. You make my cock so hard— it’s aching to be inside you. Do you want me inside you, Dayna?

She nods her head yes. I lean over her body and rest my forearms by the side of her head.

“Use your words, Love. I need to hear you say it.” I whisper in her ear and I can see goosebumps spread throughout her gorgeous body.

She lets out a slow exhale, “I need you inside me.” Sitting up on my hunches, I lean forward and reach over to my nightstand.

On my lunch break, I raced to Rooted Remedies , the local pharmacy, to buy a box of condoms. This is a huge step for Dayna and I wanted her to be comfortable with me.

We talked about how we wouldn’t prevent making a baby.

So the choice is up to Dayna. I’m all in with what she chooses.

Tonight, I am going to make love to her and worship every inch of her beautiful body.

Setting the box on the bed beside us, I place my hands on her thighs.

“If you want me to wear one, I will. If you want me to go bare, I will. What we do right now, is your choice, love. I will support your decision.”

She leans up on her elbows. The wells of her eyes fill with tears as she smiles up at me.

“I know my overthinking about being intimate has made me cautious, but I love how you always seem to know exactly what I need and take care of me, even before I realize it myself.”

“I wouldn’t have it any other way. Let me carry your worries and show you that this is exactly how it’s meant to be. It’s you and me, Baby— always. You’re safe with me, now and forever.”

She looks at me with those beautiful whiskey color eyes with her face fully flushed and tosses the box of condoms back on the nightstand. “I love you, Luke. Let’s just be us. Nothing between us.”

I lean back over her body on my forearms and kiss her soft lips. Resting my forehead against hers, taking this moment in. “I love you too, Dayna.” I reach between us and grab my aching cock. Rubbing it against her clit, I’m rewarded with a whimper of a moan.

Seeking permission, I nudge the crown of my cock at her entrance. “Are you sure this is what you want?”

“Yes, this is exactly what I want. I want you, Luke.”

With nerves rushing through me, I feel like a teenager about to lose my virginity again. She rubs my chest and the feelings melt away.

“Remember, it’s been a while for me.” She says soft and low.

“I know, Baby, I’m going to go slow. Let me know if it hurts and I’ll stop, okay?” I kiss her soft lips.

“Okay.” She breathes out.

Slowly sinking into her body, Dayna squeezes her eyes shut.

“Open your eyes, love. Stay in this moment with me.” I reach for her hand and place it above her head.

It’s like heat travels through our bodies as we are connected in every way.

Mind, body and soul. Adjusting to my size, I slowly give her another inch.

“Oh Luke, you’re so big, I feel every inch of you. ”

“Fuck, you’re so tight! You need to relax and let me in.” She grabs my ass with her free hand and squeezes it as her pussy starts to relax. “I can handle it, don’t be afraid to lose control with me.”

With her giving me her reassurance I give her my entire length.

I start to pick up our pace and pump into her faster as I bottom out to the hilt.

She moans out my name and I swear to god I’m going to come so hard and so fast. “Keep moaning like that—” I thrust hard.

“ And this is going to be over before we even get started.” I say, thrusting into her, trying to drive my point.

She giggles and I nip at her bottom lip. I hike her legs up, and she wraps them around my waist. Keeping our hands connected, I run my other hand to her clit and rub my thumb in a small circular motion. My girl rewards me with her moans when I hit the spot she loves.

“We feel so good together, Dayna.”

“Fuck, I can’t hold on anymore!”

“Let go Baby, come on my cock.”

I can feel her pussy tighten around my cock and I know she’s closer. I continue to rub her clit with my thumb trying to push her to the edge.

“Faster Luke, please!” She nearly shouts and I muffle her moans with my lips, swallowing every beautiful noise she makes.

Leaning closer to her I whisper into her ear, “That’s it, Baby.

You’re doing so well. Your pussy is clenching my cock so tight.

” I pound her into the mattress faster, our bodies move together in an unapologetic rhythm.

Dayna grabs my face and kisses me hard and that’s all it takes for her to shatter into euphoria.

With her riding her orgasm, I feel my cock twitch from the pressure from the bottom of my spine.

My balls tighten and I know I’m about to come.

“Dayna, Baby, I love you so fucking much.” I say, as hot ropes of come spill into her and this blissful feeling is something I thought I’d never get to experience again.

I never thought I’d have this chance with Dayna again. It feels right. We feel right together.

I kiss the top of her forehead before I pull out slowly. Our bodies slick with sweat, our breathing begins to even out. We lay in each other’s arms in a comfortable silence.

This moment with her is something I’ll think about forever. Making love to her the way she deserves, being her safe place.

Dayna rests her hand on my chest and I cover her hand with my own.

“That was beyond anything I could have ever imagined for us, Luke. It was nothing like before— truly a night I’ll never forget.” Dayna says .

“Yeah, it was better than anything we’ve ever experienced before.”

“Let’s take a hot bath, I don’t want you to be that sore tomorrow.”
