I peer down at her in my arms. Ella’s hair is beautiful like this, with wet strands in her face. Her cheeks are rosy from the heat of the shower, and her body … Well, I’ll never want for anything with her.
“Tell me it’s going to be okay?” she asks although it’s spoken like a demand.
“There’s nothing to worry about,” I tell her, not because I’m trying to convince her. Because I believe it so strongly. We have nothing to worry about.
“I feel safe with you,” she says and then a smile slips onto those gorgeous lips. “I guess that’s always been true. Did you feel it too, even all the way back in that courtroom? That first day?”
It’s true. “Yes,” I say, then kiss her. “And that feeling is going to last until the end of our lives.” I thrust up once and kiss the crook of her neck.
Ella grinds down onto me again arching her back, tipping her head back, and I let out a groan. “I’m going to come if you keep doing that.”
My balls draw up and my toes curl from the pleasure that brings me right to the edge. I push her back against the shower and fuck her mercilessly.
Ella tips her head forward and looks into my eyes as she moans. There’s no deeper connection than this. Her breathing quickens and she pleads my name in a way that makes me pause, buried deep inside of her.
“Are you okay?” I murmur, barely keeping my voice in check. My body shakes with the need to come but I won’t do it until Ella comes too. “Is something wrong?”
“No,” she gasps. “I’m just … I love you, Z.”
“I love you too.” I kiss her deeply as I fuck her with a primitive need.
She comes with a gasp and a cry that turns into a moan. It’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.
