Chapter 75 Poppy
“ T hat was amazing,” I whisper breathlessly against his neck. He moves to kiss down my ear and I let out a moan. God, this man. Turning his back to me for a second, he quickly slides the condom on before scooting next to me again.
“Come here,” he says as he moves closer behind me and pulls me against him. My skin is still tingling from the first time, but feeling his hand rove up and down my body like he’s memorizing every part has me thinking about another. Relishing in the warmth of his hands, I get lost in the sensation of being here with him.
His kisses move up and down my shoulder and arms, his hands reach around to cup my breasts and then run down to my thighs. His touch is intoxicating and I can barely think straight with how tightly he’s holding me, everything in my body feels on fire.
Being up against him, close like this, has my heart racing. With everything going on lately, this release of tension feels like a long time coming and now we can finally just let go and know that everything that was between us is put to rest. We can talk more about the details later, but I’m so relieved to be on the same page and if anything, this has made me feel even closer to him.
I love that he let me come to my own decision and that I didn’t feel pressured to put his needs first. That means a lot. While I’m trying to be patient and stay in the moment, I can’t resist the feel of him and don’t think I can wait much longer.
“I need you.” I let the words float out into the air, leaning back and pushing my entire body against him, showing him how much I want him. Reaching back, I hook my hand around his neck, pulling him tighter against me.
“Alright, alright,” he chides me and I feel his lips pull into a smile as he moves slightly lower on the bed, lifting my leg up before guiding himself inside me. I gasp at the sudden fullness of him, then moan as the sensation of him being so close overtakes me again.
He keeps his arms wrapped around me as he thrusts, reaching down to rub my clit, our hearts beating in tandem. Taking his time, we ride the waves together until we both cry out as the pleasure overtakes us. Thankfully, we’re at my house and not at his, where we can be safely as loud as we want without risking anyone else overhearing. Or any cat interrupting.
Another round of kisses are peppered against my face before he moves to clean himself up and I cuddle into him. “You’re amazing,” he says into my hair and I wrap my arms around his waist, pulling him closer.
“You’re not so bad yourself.” Leaning back, I look up into his eyes before adding, “Thank you for being open to the job in Toronto. It means a lot to me that you were willing to sacrifice something you’ve wanted for a long time if it meant we got to be together.”
“Of course. And I’m excited to meet Sally.”
“You will love her, and I can’t wait to show you around the city.”
“It will be perfect. You’ll have to teach me how to be your photography assistant for parties and weddings and things.”
“You’ll be the best assistant. They have an outdoor area where they have all the receptions. I may have crashed a few while I was there last time.” His eyebrows raise, but he can’t be all that surprised.
“I have two questions.” He looks back at me mischievously this time. Pausing for dramatic effect before continuing. “Can we dance under the stars at every one?”
“Definitely.” I pause for a second wondering what his next question is. “And…”
“Are there bees there?”
