Regardless of her reasoning, I've been walking on eggshells all week.

The door creaks open, and I'm greeted with a smiling, fresh-faced Bella, and all my anxious worries drift away. She grins from ear to ear as she grabs my hand and pulls me into her apartment.

Like most nights, we quietly tiptoe past her roommates' rooms and into her bedroom, shutting the door behind us. I know only Darby is here tonight, because I saw Berkley and Nate in my own kitchen before I left. Thankfully, they didn’t ask what I was up to and just waved goodbye as they enjoyed a late-night snack.

Once we’re in the center of the room, she wraps her arms around my neck and jumps onto me.

My hands instinctually grab hold of her ass as her legs lock around my middle, her tiny sleep shorts allowing me access to her bare skin.

As her lips crash into mine, her core drags over my sweatpants, and I let out a low groan.

“I needed this,” I mumble between our kisses.

A breathy moan crawls up her throat as she hums, “Mmm, me too.”

With one more kiss, she slips down my body and stands in front of me, and I take in the sight of her.

My beautiful girl.

“What?” she asks, those green eyes searching mine curiously when I continue to admire her.

Smiling, I shake my head. “Nothing, just checking…”

“Checking what?” she asks with a giggle.

“That I haven’t missed anything.”

That has her brow pinching. “Cash, you’re being cryptic… What are you talking about?”

“Just admiring…” I say knowing now is not the time to tell her I’ve been cataloguing every freckle on her face. Instead, I want to get lost in the feel of her.

“Come here… Let me take care of you,” Bella says with a devious look. She presses my chest gently, guiding me backward until my thighs hit her bed and I fall onto the comforter.

There’s no time for arguing, not when she’s already tugging at the waist of my sweats. So, I lie back, propped on a pillow so I can watch as her soft hands fist my cock.

I groan at her sure strokes, and within seconds, I'm rock hard. She smiles at me before her tongue swirls around the crown, and my eyes roll to the back of my head.

“Your mouth is like heaven, baby,” I say, reaching for her head and tangling my fingers into the mass of red hair that drives me fucking wild.

Bellamy’s mouth slides down my shaft, and she swallows my cock like she was made to do it.

I lose all sense of myself when I feel her throat constrict around me before she pulls back, only to repeat the process over and over.

My hips thrust into her mouth as she leans over me on the bed, her hips rocking, as if seeking relief.

I got you, baby.

“Bring that ass up here,” I command while pulling her off my cock by her hair. Lust glazes her eyes as she looks up at me.

“I want you to sit on my face while I fuck your mouth,” I clarify, and she grins. She slips out of her sleep shorts, then flips herself around so her perfect pussy hovers over me.

My hands grip her ass and pull her cunt to my mouth. As my tongue swipes through her sex, I savor the taste of her, groaning when she takes my cock into her mouth once more.

I lap at her like a starving man, teasing her sensitive clit till her thighs tremble around my head.

“You going to come on my tongue, Bella?” I ask when her hips rock over my face and she moans around my length.

“Sooo— So close… Ahh, yes, I'm going to come,” she pants before returning to my cock.

I spread her cheeks wider, licking her from slit to puckered hole.

“Oh shiiit!” she cries out right before her orgasm hits. Her body trembles uncontrollably as she tries to continue sucking my cock.

I feel the moment her orgasm loosens her throat, and I thrust into her further. She gags around me, the noise and vibration bringing my own release to the edge.

But I want to come deep inside her, fill her with my cum.

Thank fuck, after our first time together, we discussed birth control and health, because fucking her raw has become my newest addiction.

When her legs stop trembling, I tip her up and off my body, so she lands on her stomach next to me. She gasps when I reposition myself behind her.

With her perfect round ass in front of me, I can't help but swat her cheek and watch as it jiggles.

She whimpers, pushing back for more, and I lift her hips slightly to position myself behind her. Unable to wait another second, I enter her in one swift motion.

“Fuuuck, you’re so wet for me, baby. Look at how you take me so well. Like you were made for my cock.”

Bellamy’s moans are stifled by the comforter she’s currently biting on. I watch as each of my thrusts causes her ass to jiggle against me, and I slap her cheek again, three times in succession.

Groaning, she thrusts back into me and begs when I pick up my pace. “Yes, just like that. You feel so good, Cash… Please don’t stop.”

Her whimpers and moans are too muffled for my liking. I want to hear every panting breath. So I wrap her long red hair around my fist and pull her head backwards.

“You like that, Bella? Like the feel of my cock so far inside of you, your toes curl.”

Her eyes roll back with another delicious moan, her core clenching around me, but my pace never slows. I ride her hard, her ass bouncing in perfect rhythm.

I feel my orgasm building again, and this time I know there’s no stopping it. I release her hair and grab onto her ass, using it like a handlebar.

“I'm going to come again, Cash… Fuck, fuck, fuck,” she yells as I pound into her, nearly growling from how sexy she is.

“Fuck yes. Come for me, beautiful. Milk my cock.”

My thrusts become wild and desperate as her pussy throbs around me, her muscles tensing as she releases a silent scream. Within moments, I’m spilling into her with a deep groan. My body shakes with every pulse of my cock, and I slow my movements, kissing up her back before collapsing beside her.

After several moments, I roll onto my back, dragging her to rest on my chest. Her pouty lips pull into a smile, and I kiss her forehead, admiring my gorgeous girl. It’s euphoric to have her like this, finally. In my arms again, but now, I won’t be letting her go.

“Thirty-six,” I say quietly as I stare at Bellamy’s face. She looks up at me with a puzzled expression. My fingers trace over her freckled cheek, over the bridge of her nose, and continue to the other side.

“You have thirty-six freckles on your face.”

A dreamy expression takes over as she stares at me. “You’ve counted my freckles?”

“You used to have thirty-three,” I add.

Smiling softly, she leans up and presses her lips to mine.

Her eyes shine with unspoken words, and I kiss her back with everything I have, until we’re both breathless all over again.

Not willing to say the words lingering on the tip of my tongue until I know we’re in the clear, with no Tori and no hesitation from Bellamy about our family.

When she can be all mine in all the ways I’ve dreamt of, that’s when I’ll tell her how much I love her. How my heart only beats for her… But until then, I’ll kiss her like our lives depend on it.
