I let her ride the high of her orgasm until her body gently calms. I’m caught between a repeat performance and finally fucking her, but when her heel digs into my ribs and her hand pulls at my head, I know what she wants.

I kiss my way up her body, too slow for her liking if her impatient sighs tell me anything.

“Hold your damn horses,” I rasp out, flicking her puckered nipple with the tip of my tongue.

She giggles. “I’ve been thinking about this for over a week.”

“Since I threw your ass in jail?”

“Who knew power play was such a turn-on?”

I climb the rest of the way up her body so that we’re face to face and I’m looking her square in the eye. I get so lost in her.

“Lexi…”

She hooks her legs behind my thighs and reaches down to position me at her core.

“I need you…”I groan. I plunge into her, fighting against her tight, constricting walls.

She feels so good—so amazing. Unlike anything I’ve felt before, because this is more than just our bodies. It’s the joining of two lost, sorry souls.

I bend to kiss her, rocking my hips against her heat, biting back my release. She screams, bucking up into me, shaking from crown to toe as I grind against her.

There’s no fucking way I’ll ever come close to feeling this good again. Lexi is everything. The very air I breathe.

I’ll die without her.

“Don’t leave me…”I choke out, releasing in hot, heavy spurts.

Waves of pleasure crash through me, dizzying me. I can barely stay upright, the onslaught is so forceful.

Her hands cup my cheeks as her body relaxes.

I fall to the side, and she rolls towards me so that my head is pressed against her breasts.

This woman is utter perfection.

Her fingers comb my hair as she hums out a bittersweet melody.

“Please tell me you’re not gonna push me away again,” Lexi says, her voice edged with worry.

“I never once wanted to. All I want is to keep you close. Keep you near.”

Her fingers still for a beat, then resumes their grooming.

“Let’s not waste the time we have left,” she suggests.

As insane as it sounds, I want to tell her I love her. That I’d do anything for her, even leave Pond Spring for good to bask in her glory.

But I’m too damn scared. What if this isn’t real? What if it’s my loneliness working me? I could lose everything.

I curl my arms around Lexi, holding her close, afraid she’ll somehow get away from me.

How is it possible I’ve fallen so hard?

I inhale her scent, trying to imprint it in my memory. “From now on, no more games. It’s me, you, and this bed each night.”

“What about Riggs?”
