Simon’s eyes widened. “Ohhhhh. Yeah, sorry. See you in the morning.” He waved lamely before shutting the door behind him, leaving Cooper alone with Andi.
“You don’t mind? You can call them back if you’d rather…”
“You need me more right now,” Andi said softly before kissing his chest over his heart.
Could she feel it racing? Did she know it was cracking open at the thought of losing her, this?
Probably. Because she was careful with him as she pressed his shoulders and guided him back onto the bed, then straddled him so that she could brush her lips over his. She kissed him gently, sweetly, infusing as much care and comfort into her caresses as possible.
He ate it up. His arms went around her, clinging to her as he kissed her back.
Her hands slipped beneath his dress shirt, struggled enough that he rolled her over and shed his clothing as quickly as possible. Then he returned to her without anything between them, nothing keeping them apart or preventing skin-on-skin contact.
He sighed as he settled over her, his cock falling naturally between her legs.
They rubbed against each other, aligning themselves so that all he had to do was clench his ass, shift his hips toward hers, and his cock began to burrow inside her. They both paused, their stares colliding at that first intimate moment where contact became penetration.
He fit himself inside her and reveled in the heat of her body surrounding him, wet and welcoming. There wasn’t anything kinky about how they made love. It was simple. Basic. Pure human connection. And he needed it desperately.
Apparently, so did Andi.
She raked her nails down his back, as if terrified he might fly away if she didn’t keep hold of him while he slid in and out of her soothing heat. It lasted a long time, their gentle rocking, pressing, and grinding. Eventually, he felt himself spiraling out of control.
As Andi’s body clenched around him, trying to keep him buried deep, he unraveled. He began to fuck her harder, until his vision whited out and all he could do was pursue the passion she inspired in him. He brought them together again and again, thinking in passing that the only way they could fit back together was if he left first, retreating some each time.
Maybe the rest of their lives would be like that, too. If he had to say goodbye for a little while, maybe he could find her again later.
Even that tiny reminder of how fragile their relationship could be spurred him on.
Cooper drove himself inside Andi fully, refusing to allow even the possibility that they could be separated. No. He would not give this up for anyone or anything. Not even his career.
With a roar, Cooper leaned in closer and clamped his mouth on Andi’s neck.
He sucked and nipped, marking her, wishing that instead of claiming her, he could somehow show her she’d already done the same to him. Irrevocably.
Andi shuddered beneath him, screaming his name over and over as she came. Her orgasm triggered his own and he poured his release deep inside her, flooding her pussy even as he pumped a few final times.
When he came to rest, with their bodies connected as tightly as possible, he stayed that way, refusing to leave her even if he might be crushing her. Selfish, yes. But he couldn’t bear to be separated from her. Not tonight. Not ever.
His mind was made up.
Anyone who didn’t approve could kiss his ass, and he’d be sure to tell them that in no uncertain terms. Just not tonight.
Tonight, he wasn’t budging from this spot.
Andi wrapped her arms around him and sighed. He rolled to his side and flung his thigh over hers, holding her near as he allowed his eyes to drift shut. She cuddled closer than he thought possible, keeping him warm and comfortable.
His decision made, he slept soundly throughout the entire night and woke well rested, ready to face whatever came next.
