“What’s wrong?”

“The condoms are upstairs.”

Her shoulders slumped, but she didn’t let go of him. She quickly recalled the date of her last period and where she was at in her cycle. “I want to feel you inside me, just for a few minutes.”

He studied her closely. “Are you sure?”

She nodded.

“I won’t be able to stay in long,” he said.

“That’s okay.”

He watched as she slowly lowered herself down on him. Once he was fully rooted, he gripped her hips in his warm hands and sighed. “Feels so good.”

She smiled in agreement. Her body and heart felt full, and they began to move in unison, finding a rhythm all their own. Before long, she began to feel a quickening in her core, and her muscles clenched around him.

“Eden… I…”

Suddenly, he lifted her off him. She took his erection in hand and brought him to his climax. He looked so magnificent in that moment, his head tipped back, hips arched, and chest glistening. Once he was spent, she leaned over and kissed his lips. “I love you,” she whispered.

Then she clambered off the bed and went into the bathroom. When she returned, he was propped against the headboard, looking relaxed and satisfied. Handing him some tissues, he cleaned himself off. She set the tissue box on the nightstand and crawled into bed beside him.

“I love you too,” he said, “And now I’m going to show you how much.”

They shifted to their sides, and he cupped her face in his hands. His mouth descended on hers, warm and inviting. Then, he trailed a hand down her chest, pausing to tweak her nipple, before moving further down. Anticipating his touch, she spread her legs apart, feeling the slickness between them. Finally, his hand was right where she wanted it, needed it. She gasped at the sweet intrusion of his fingers and thrust her hips to meet them. Burying his face in her neck, he nibbled her delicate skin while he taunted and teased her into a frenzy.

She abandoned herself to the onslaught, writhing and moaning while her climax built to the boiling point. Soon, she erupted, tightening around his fingers, and joyfully riding the waves of pleasure. He didn’t let up until she was completely spent, her body limp and a satisfied smile on her face.

He kissed her chin, nose, and forehead as she slowly came back to herself. Then she curled against him, and he held her close. She’d thought the first time they’d made love was spectacular, but it just kept getting better.

He ran his hand over her hair, which was still damp from the hot tub. “We’re good together,” he stated.

“I agree.” She traced circles on his chest and then flattened her palm over his heart.

“I wouldn’t have thought so at first,” he mused.

“You mean when you read my list of rules?”

“Even before that. When you first came here, you had a major chip on your shoulder.”

“And now?”

“Now, I can’t imagine my life without you.”

She looked up at him with watery eyes. “I feel the same way.”

He gave her a squeeze. “It won’t be easy, with us living so far apart.”

“I know.”

“But I’ve always wanted to visit Michigan.”

She came up on her elbow and beamed at him. “I can’t wait to show you around. You’ll love the nature there, especially up north.”

“I’ve heard it’s beautiful.”

“I wouldn’t be opposed to visiting Arizona either,” she hinted.
