Goosebumps trailed across my skin as Bellamy's lips touched my core and when his tongue snaked out, I gasped, holding fast to the back of his head. His hair was so soft, but it was also a wonderful anchor. I grabbed onto it, letting him pull me down under a wave of ecstasy as his mouth took me beyond thephysical.
White-hot fire raced into my mind, eating away any thought or brain cell that wasn't completely and solely focused on what he was doing to me. Pleasure was etched into my arteries, climbing up through my body until there was nothing left but Bellamy and the control he had over me. He licked and sucked as I moaned and gyrated against the ministrations of his tongue. When his mouth finally left my core and he moved up, reaching to the side for something, my eyesopened.
"Condom?" I asked, even as I panted and gasped forbreath.
He nodded. Bellamy retrieved the condom and then with a little finesse, he donned it. "Are you ready for me, sweetheart?" he asked, holding himself up by his thick musculararms.
I nodded, reaching for his face and cupping it in my much paler and smaller hands. "Yes," I whispered, leaning up to kiss him. I kissed him once, twice, three times—letting my tongue tangle with his as one of his hands left the mattress and found the curve of my hip. I tilted my pelvis up as heentered.
It was so tight, he had to stop kissing me, tugging himself away to grit his teeth. I groaned and squirmed at the feel of him, blinking as I struggled to adjust tohim.
"Fuck—Harlow—sweetheart..." He couldn't seem to voice what he was thinking and to be honest, I don't know how he even managed to get out that much. I couldn't talk at all. All I could do was moan and hold onto him as he pushed all the way inside. I clutched him, digging my nails into his back andshoulders.
He thrust, pumping himself deep inside. Words fell from his lips—words of love and cherishing. I let them flow over me as I brought his mouth back to mine. I kissed him, hoping that my inability to voice the thoughts in my head would be transferred through our physical contact. I hoped he understood just how important he was to me, how much he meant to me, how much I lovedhim.
My mind raced for the edge, falling over into the darkness and exploding at the same time that his grip against my skin became impossibility hard and bruising. He grunted and then released a groan against my neck as he pulled his face away from mine and burrowed against my throat. Satisfaction bloomed in my chest as I stroked his hair, letting him rest againstme.
"You mean everything to me, Harlow," he whispered against myskin.
I hoped he realized that the same could be said for him. No matter what the future brought for us—no matter what Teddi would do, I would love themunconditionally.
“I love you,” I repeated on a whisper and he sighed into my hair, whispering the words back and bringing us full circle onceagain.
