JOSH

I know that Emie is the one. I can feel it in my bones – even though it's too soon to trust that knowledge, since it hasn't been tested.

Emie is clearly a bit less sure about that. At the same time, there is zero doubt that she wants this . Wants me.

The feeling of her soft little hand grasping at my shoulder, her knees squeezing my hips… It’s absolute heaven.

My beautiful girl is so eager to give herself to me. Clutching her tender body against mine, it takes all of my self-control to maintain a slow, easy pace, barely dipping three inches into her tight, wet pussy.

The way her body fits around mine feels so right. Her soft, brown eyes glow as she smiles, nodding. "Go ahead," she whispers.

I want to tell her I'm already obsessed with her, but speaking might break my concentration as I sink an inch deeper. She moans breathily, sweetly, as I pump in and out, going a little deeper every time.

My arms scoop under to hold her precious body tightly, easing even deeper as we rock together. Pulling her with me, I kneel up so that gravity can help her sink down, and she has a bit more control. Her arms wrap around my neck, her legs around my waist as she moves, exploring.

"You like how I feel inside you?"

"Uh huh." Her eyes are glazed as I hold my beautiful girl against me, listening to every breathless cry. Feeling every tremble of her thighs. The way her fingernails prick my skin.

She feels so fucking good that I never want to stop. Never want to do anything else for the rest of my life. I want to live between her thighs. Plan my entire existence so that we're never apart. As my mind spins, part of me is constantly analyzing her breathing.

She finally exhales fully once I sink completely, unable to go any further. "That…oh," she gasps. "That's a lot."

"All for you. Only for you."

The heat we're generating sends a drop of sweat down my shoulder blades, and I have to open my mouth to breathe deeply before latching my lips to hers. She wriggles against me, rocking with every touch.

It's a bit awkward, but I manage to grip her shoulder blades to hold her tight while my right hand moves lower to find her clit. The second I hit the spot, her entire body bucks as if she's been electrified.

"Oh!" she moans against my lips, then half nods. "There. Yeah ."

I can already read her so well, knowing exactly how to make her body begin to tremble. My tongue invades her mouth with the same force, my cock thrusting deep, a bit faster, a bit harder.

"Yeah," she gasps. "Josh… I…"

Then I feel it. Feel her luscious wet pussy clamp down on me even harder. Feel her muscles tighten, her body shift.

"Give it to me," I growl, nearing the edge of my control. "I need to feel you, sweetheart."

She nods, bobbing up and down on my length. I'm fucking her too hard for her first time, I know that, but I can't stop, and she clearly loves it.

"Ahh…" A broken, shattered cry falls from her perfect lips as her head falls back, eyes still on me as she trembles from head to toe. Her climax triggers mine, as my balls tighten and flames lick up my spine, as I wedge my throbbing cock as far as it will go before bursting inside her so deep that we both gasp in surprise.

We freeze, panting, pulsing, lost in the moment. Then we both collapse with a laugh at the exact same time, rolling back onto the bed.

I start to cuddle her against me, but Emie jumps up. "Be right back." She dashes to the bathroom, and before coming back, heads to the kitchen. She returns with two cups of water.

"Good idea. Thank you."

I jump up so we can get under the blankets properly. Then we drain our glasses and I set them aside. Emie snuggles against me, our bodies fitting together perfectly, her head nestled against my shoulder.

As I trail my fingers along her shoulder, I have to ask. "Was that…everything you thought it would be?"

Her head perks up as she grins. "Complete honesty? I assumed my first time would be awkward and icky. That was…" Her eyes drift shut as she blushes. "Definitely not icky."

I love how easily we laugh together. I turn off the light, then listen to the pattern of her breathing. It feels like a good sign that she falls asleep quickly. That she trusts me enough to be able to relax like that. I just wish that she had asked me to go fetch the water. Wish she would stop acting like she needs to prove herself to me.

Hopefully this is simply growing pains. Whiplash from getting together so quickly. We're still getting to know each other – even though there is no doubt in my mind that Emie is the girl for me.

Just as I begin to drift off, my eyes snap open.

I've never asked Emie what she's looking for in a man. I asked about what kind of life she's planned for, but not what kind of a guy.

There's always a chance that I'm not what she’s looking for. Just because I'm a Wolfe, and every other woman has kind of had an eye on my family, that doesn't mean that I'm the man of her dreams, or that I can give her everything her heart desires.

Maybe – my heart turns cold at the thought – she doesn't want to stay here with me on the mountain permanently.
