I pressed my fingers against her, thrusting, feeling her perfect body. I let my middle finger make circles and shapes, as though I was autographing her beautiful sex, taking my claim once again.
The difference now was that she wasn't going to get away from me.
I brought my finger up and touched the bud of her clit. I pressed and twisted, watching instant pleasure spread across her face.
I couldn't fucking take anymore.
I brought my top half down to hers, my mouth seeking hers. We kissed as I teased her clit, explored her pussy, reminding myself of what I had been missing for so damn long. And nothing could compare to her. Ever. Her subtle hip thrusts. The little noises she made when I hit the right spots.
Finally, I slid my hand up and along her smooth body and rested it against her hip.
I lowered myself down to her, linking myself up with the instinctual need to love her. To have her. To feel pleasure from her and give her pleasure. It was like something was taking over my body and brain. She was the ultimate drug, and I would pay whatever price it took to get my fix. No matter if it hurt or killed me.
I broke the kiss and touched Lacey's face with my other hand. My thumb stroked her cheek as I took a few seconds to breathe it all in.
Outside, the storm continued to pound against the sky, the rain battering the roof of the cabin. Inside, an even bigger storm grew.
"Lacey … I never stopped loving you," I whispered. "Not for a second. And I'm not going to stop."
She opened her mouth to respond, but I stole her words with a hot kiss.
I thrust forward, entering her, her body sheathing me as I sank deeper by the second.
Outside, lightning flashed. Thunder clapped. Rain pelted the world.
Inside, it was everything. My world came together.
But the past was waiting to tear us apart.
Lacey
PRESENT DAY
I had forgotten how it could feel.
My hands tried to claw at the bed, but I couldn't get a grip. River had his mouth against my neck. His tongue tasting my wet skin. It was amazing how fast the chilly feeling from the rain left us. It was all heat now. Beautiful and wild heat.
As River pulled back and thrust forward again, the pressure at my core made me cry out. I felt every perfect inch of his cock inside me, gaining access to depths that only he had ever explored before. I was forever his, no matter what. We both knew it, and we both needed to find a way to keep it from going away.
When I couldn't grab the sheets, I put my hands to his back. I scratched him as his mouth started to descend upon my body. I arched my chest, longing for his mouth to taste me again. His tongue rolled around my left nipple, making me shiver and groan. I put my legs up and around his strong body, my heels digging into him, wanting it more. Wanting it harder. Wanting it for forever.
River picked up speed. The pleasure soared through my body. Head to toe, I was tingling with deep desire. Anything I had experienced for the last ten years was just out of basic need. What I felt with River was lust-filled want. And he was the only one who could satisfy that want.
His mouth closed tighter around my breast. The edges of his teeth pulled against my nipple. I sucked in a breath and let out a whimper as my left hand slid up into his hair. I grabbed at him, breathing heavier, pulling him away from my breast. River stared at me. I brought my hands to his face and held him. His lower half kept pumping at me, pleasuring me. Connecting with me.
I pulled at him, bringing him closer to me. But we didn't kiss. There were a few inches between us. His right hand touched my side and came up, cupping under my breast. His thumb moved over my nipple.
My thumbs moved along the scruff on his face.
We held those seconds together, feeling the connection between us. Hearts racing. The love that never died growing again. His body working perfectly to bring me to the edge of climax.
"Come for me," he whispered. "I want to feel you again, darlin'. Right now."
He lowered his mouth to mine again, and we kissed. His other hand touched my hip and squeezed tight. He started to fuck me harder, faster, his precision deadly in a good way. The tingling pleasure spread through my body like a wildfire. The background noise of the thunderstorm storm kept up, and it somehow just made sense. It was part of this moment for us. Loving each other through a storm.
"Oh, River," I groaned. The feeling reached its pinnacle, a deep swell ready to explode from within my core. "Fuck … yes … "
The back of my legs tightened, and I pulled myself against the bed, bucking my hips up at him as he thrust with even more beautiful force.
