“You lifted me.” She fought to get her thoughts under control, to relay them to Ryan. “You just picked me up like I weighed nothing.”

“That’s the reason I work out,” he said as his hand slipped back into her underwear and his fingers unerringly found her little pleasure spot. “Ladies like the muscle.”

She playfully slapped his shoulder, and he flexed to prove his point. Oh, yeah, she loved his muscles.

“I wrapped my arms and legs around you and held on tight,” she said as he continued to touch her.

Her breath was coming in pants now, and it was so hard to think straight. There were stars in her head. Whole galaxies begging her to come explore. But she forced herself to stay tethered to planet Earth so she could keep telling Ryan what he wanted to hear.

“You pressed me up against the wall and kissed me until I was delirious. Clothes came off—I’m not exactly sure how. I remember your hands on my breasts, massaging, teasing, tugging at my nipples until I thought I’d go insane from wanting you.”

He dipped a finger deep into her wet heat, making her body arch. “Did you beg?”

“Yes,” she gasped as he slowly moved his finger in and out, mimicking what she’d wanted so badly, what she’d been dreaming about for over a year. Ryan. Inside her. Filling her up.

“And then what?” He slid back to her clit.

The stars were rushing at her now. Swirling planets in her mind. “I felt the soft comforter on my bed at my back. It was cool compared to your hard, hot chest. Your mouth was at my throat, my fingers in your hair. I love your hair. It was so thick, but short and hard to grab, which somehow added to the excitement.”

His finger circled her quicker. She wanted more. She wanted all of him.

“Your mouth was on my breast, kissing, teasing, suckling, while your hand wandered lower, like now.” She sucked in a breath, feeling light-headed. “Please, Ryan, please take me over.”

“Not yet,” he said. “What happened then? I want to hear it all.”

“You said you couldn’t wait, that you’d go slower next time. That you’d taste me and make me beg. But right then, you were going to go crazy if you weren’t inside of me.”

“I feel the same way now, baby,” he said, his voice strained with need.

“The look in your eyes,” she said, remembering, seeing it all over again in her mind. “So, dark and intense, but soft and…mine. Your arms strained as you balanced above me. I couldn’t stop myself from touching you. I was drunk from it. Your arms, your chest. I raised my head and bit your pec before soothing it with my tongue.”

“Did I spread your legs wide?”

“So wide.” The room was spinning. The stars were flying around her. She lost track of what she was saying. “I felt you. Wide, hard yet soft, pressing into me, and I wanted you there. I wanted all of you.”

His finger pressed on her clit, making her moan echo through the room.

“You took forever to seat yourself inside me.”

“How did it feel?” His voice was a croak.

“So, so good. Endless. You filled me up. I could feel every inch of you. And my muscles tightened, holding you inside me. Keeping you there. I didn’t want it to end. I didn’t want you to leave me. I felt connected. To you.”

“Like I belonged there?”

“Yes,” she moaned, her fingers digging into his flesh as his touch drove her higher.

“You moved,” she gasped. “Rocking into me. Explosions in my head. So many explosions. I could taste you. Feel you. Surrounded by you. Only you.”

“Fuck,” Ryan said. “I can’t take anymore. I need to be inside you, but first, you need to fly for me, Stats. You hear me? It’s time to fly.”

He pressed her clit, rubbing deftly, and the universe inside her head exploded. Planets were formed. New stars in a dark night. Just for them.

Panting for air, Sarah slowly floated back down to earth and gradually became aware that Ryan had shifted position. He was no longer lying beside her; now he knelt at her feet as he slid her underpants down her legs.

She heard his rapid breathing, felt his shaking hands, and knew his desperation.

Through the lifting fog of her mind, she heard him mutter.
