“You always give me fair warning.” She finally opens her eyes to mine when I slip my hand down her belly, grazing the top of her pussy with my fingertips.

How can someone be so damn beautiful?

Her chestnut hair is a tangled, thoroughly fucked mess on the pillow, and her lips are a little ruddy and chaffed from last night while her eyes are smudged from the makeup she wore on our date. Still, she’s a sight for sore eyes.

“I give you warning because with you, I have no control.” Pressing my middle finger to her clit, I circle once, relishing the way her body squirms for more. “See? No control.”

“None?” Gnawing on her lip, she focuses on my mine while her hand comes to rest on my thigh.

“Nada.”

When I stroke through her wet flesh, a soft groan escapes her.

“Well,” she breathes, tracing her hand to my ass, “I like it when you lose control with me, Doc.”

“Me too,” I tell her, adjusting her so that her pussy lines up with my throbbing dick. A sharp hiss pushes out of her as I press inside her tight cunt. “That’s it, sunshine. You take me so fucking well.”

Her pussy clenches tight around me at my praise.

My girl likes being told how good she is.

Avery’s so goddamn tight that it feels as though I’m going to tear her apart, and maybe it’s sick or twisted, but I like the thought that she’ll feel me inside her even when we leave this bed.

Avery’s leg hooks over mine, pulling me deeper.

“Oh God,” she sighs tremulously as I round my groin, my arm wrapping around her chest before I cup her face.

I hold her to me as close and flush as we can get.

I can’t get enough of her—of the way she feels in my hands and how my heart craves her. It yearns to be her home in a way that it has never needed anything else.

“It feels so good,” she cries softly, a hand squeezing my wrist as the other holds on tight to my ass. Like she’s trying to keep me buried inside her. “This feels so good.”

Undulating on me, Avery trembles in my arms. My cock hardens further with a painful and unrelenting need to feel her come undone for me.

“You feel good, sunshine.” Lowering the hand on her belly to her pussy, I swipe my thumb from her clit to her entrance, where my dick slowly pulses into her clenching cunt. “Fuck, I can’t get enough of you…your sweet pussy…Jesus, fuck…”

The hand around my wrist tightens as my hold on her face closes a little more. Her other digs deeper into my glutes, nails biting the skin.

Avery’s shaking as she turns her head to the side, like she wants to see me, and murmurs my name. “Rhett…?”

“Yeah, sweetheart?” I nudge the tip of her nose with mine, running it up and down.

When I open my eyes to her earthy ones, the hand on my wrist cups my face, lowering it down to hers so that our foreheads touch. The hypnotic swirl of green, amber, and blue in her eyes ripples with all the things she wants to say. Bright. Deeper than still waters. Hotter than a blazing inferno.

Her lips meet mine, and the hungry bite of her teeth and lap of her tongue says all the words she’s scared to.

I love you.

I love you too, I tell her as I thrust deeper and harder, my strokes bottoming out and pushing the breath from her and right into me.

No one’s ever made me feel this way. No one has ever made me feel like my world begins and ends with them.

I would do anything for Avery. She has a power over me unlike anything I’ve ever felt. It’s transcending of every right or wrong. Of past and present or future…

God, I love her more than I ever thought possible.

Her soft whimpers vibrate between us with my increasing pace. Her body shakes, and her pussy clenches tight around me.
