By the time we fall on the bed together, enveloped in one another, I am buzzing with pleasure, with intensity and desire. I can’t even stand to be on my back for a moment. The weight of Josh’s body on top of mine is awesome, but I need the control.
I needhim.
I roll him over onto his back and straddle him. At first, I lean over him, kissing him as he tweaks my nipples. But soon even that isn’t enough. I flip myself around and straddle him that way, driving him in deep where I can see him, all of him. I lean forwards to watch him slide inside of me which is hot as fucking hell.
“Oh God,” I cry out as I grip on to his shins, rocking him back and forth, taking all of him in. “Oh fuck, Josh, you feel so good. So fucking good, I…”
I’m lost for words. So lost in the pleasure riding through my body. I’m drowning so deeply in him it takes me a moment to notice my full-length mirror is in front of me. It’s only when Josh pushes himself up into a sitting position behind me that we both spot our reflection.
Fuck, we look good together, like we belong. I reach back to grab him, to knot my hands in his hair while I continue to grind against him. His fingers reach between my thighs, taking my clit with his eager touch. My skin flushes bright red with flaming desire and sweat as we continued to thrash our bodies against one another. My heart pounds, my body throbs, desire absolutely knocks me down in the best way possible.
Every thrust goes deeper than the last, each stroke of his fingers pushes me nearer to the edge. I can hardly hold it together as he sends me flying over the edge into heaven. I buckle forwards under the weight of the bliss. I crumple up like a piece of paper, but Josh doesn’t let go of me. He holds on to me as the orgasm ricochets through me, thrashing through me from side to side. The pleasure this time is more intense than before. I know it’s always been fucking amazing with Josh, even the first time we were together, when I lost my virginity to him, but this is special and so much more powerful.
This is eye wateringly perfect.
It's the love, I’m sure of it. The love that we have for one another, making all of this so much more exciting, so much more fulfilling. My fingers grab tightly onto the sheets while I crash and burn, the flames of the orgasm absolutely swallowing me up whole.
“Oh God, Josh,” I moan through the ecstasy. “Josh, you are amazing… you are…”
Before I can get the rest of my words out, Josh has me flat on my back on the bed, and his lips have crashed to mine. There’s a passion there for sure, but romance too. The way he cups my cheeks and holds me close to him as he takes his lips with mine. I get sucked into that as well. The romance and the love.
That feels so freaking special. His lips run over my body, like he can’t get enough of me.
By the time Josh slips inside of me once more, every cell within me reacts to him. I wrap my legs around his back, hold on to him, and drive him in deep.
Fucking hell, I don’t think I will ever be able to let go of this man. I want him forever as my own. I want all of him, every damn inch, I want him to keep on fucking me until I can’t handle it any longer,
I never thought I would get a second chance, but here I am.
So lucky. I really feel that me and him are on another plane of existence entirely.
“I love you,” Josh groans as he drives us both closer to the edge. I know I’m about to lose my mind again, he has a way of overpowering my sensations. “I love you, Lexi.”
Hearing him say that is phenomenal, so the next time the pleasure gets to me, and we are both screaming together, I scream out that I love him too. There might have been a point in my life when I thought he was the worst thing to ever happen to me, but now I know he’s the best. Him and Mya, my family.
As we crash onto the bed next to one another, panting and gasping through our declarations of love, my heart swells about a million times. I can’t stop thinking about what the future might hold for us, how our family will look. I don’t know what we’re going to do and where we’re going to be, but knowing that we’re going to be together makes me feel wonderful.
I cling to Josh, holding him tight to my chest, and I let the love explode and bloom in my chest. My dream really is coming true here, I really am about to get it all, aren’t I?
Finally, after years of having crushing on him, Josh Macauley is about to be mine. I feel like I’m a princess in a fairy tale, and he is my Prince Charming.
Just because we didn’t exactly do things the right way doesn’t mean it can’t work out. If anyone is proof that second chances are worthwhile, then it’s us.
I just hope that we can make things work this time around.
EPILOGUE-
Epilogue – Josh
One Year Later…
“How does it feel, huh?” Grayson asks me as he pats down my suit and smooths my tie. It’s good to see him looking a lot happier these days. I don’t know what has changed for him exactly, he’s still a little shady about everything, but as long as he’s doing well, then I’m pleased for him. “About to be a husband. First of the Macauley brothers to get married. Who would have thought it? I didn’t know you had it in you.”
I let out a little laugh, grateful to have all my brothers here with me for this very special day. Everyone has had so much going on recently, but they’ve all come together for me. I have to admit, that makes me feel really good.
“Yeah well, I’m a proper grown up now, don’t you know? A father, and soon to be husband, with my own house in Beaufort and a business as well.”
It makes me feel so proud to say the words out loud. I might not have achieved everything that I wanted to, in the way that I thought I needed to, but I have something even better. Dad was right, starting off smaller was a good idea. A really great idea, and he was also right that family is the most important thing. And not just my family, but Lexi’s too.
