My head pops up, and I stare at her in shock. "What? Dani, I don't have a condom, are you sure—?"
"I'm sure." She reaches down to wrap her hand around my cock, aiming it right against her entrance as she wraps her legs around my waist. "I need you. I trust you."
Andfuckwhat hearing that does to me.
I can only stare at her for a moment. She holds my gaze, letting me see everything. Letting me see her hunger, her affection, her need. Forme.
She drives the nail in the coffin with another whisperedplease.
"Dani," I groan, dropping my lips to hers at the same time that I push into her with one, hard thrust.
We both moan at the feeling of completeness. And I know I’ll never get tired of this.
"God,you always feel so perfect," I groan, starting to drive into her. I couldn't stop myself from fucking her even if the world was collapsing around us.
"More," she moans. "More, fuck me harder. I want to feel you."
"Goddamnit, Dani," I hiss, picking up my pace. Shifting my hips all the way back and then driving as deep as I can, over and over again. Harder and harder, until we’re both panting and delirious with pleasure.
"I want to feel you come," she gasps, her nails scratching down my back. "Oh myGod,Aiden, I'm so close, I want to feel you come.Please."
I let out a long groan, my forehead dropping to her shoulder, already helpless in the face of my lust to do anything but obey her. I'm too lost in the moment, too lost inherto even have a hope of trying.
"I'm going to come inside you," I grit out, moving in short, hard thrusts. Driving against that perfect spot with each one. I can feel her body start to tremble, can sense the orgasm bearing down on her the same way it's about to overtake me. "I'm going to come inside you and I want you to come at the same time. Right now, Dani. Come with me."
I lift my head at exactly the moment her body freezes and her mouth opens in surprise. It seems to last forever, and then… she fuckingshuddersas the orgasm explodes through her. It's enough to immediately set off my own.
My groan comes from the pit of my stomach. It vibrates through my chest, my forehead dropping to hers, until we're face to face and shaking through the last of the sensations.
I can't take my eyes off her. She can't look away from me.
"Dani…" I whisper when my mind no longer feels like it’s splintering apart. When I can breathe enough to say it.
"I…" she looks shell-shocked after her come-down, like she can't believe what just happened. So instead of giving her the space to think about it, I press a kiss to her lips before dropping beside her and pulling her against me. I tuck her head under my chin and wrap my arms around her body. And when I pull the comforter over us, she seems to accept it and settle in.
At least for tonight.

DANI
I wake up to the feeling of warmth and safety.
And for the first time in my life, I don't question it.
Oddly enough, I remember everything that happened last night. And what's even more odd is that none of it feels wrong. It feels... right, sharing that with Aiden.
As if hearing my thoughts, his arm tightens around my waist, and his nose buries deeper into my hair where he's plastered against my back. Even in his sleep, he lets out a content hum at our closeness, and I find myself wiggling farther into his embrace.
"Morning," he mumbles into my ear in a sleep-heavy voice.
"Hi," I respond quietly. Despite the comfort that I feel, I'm still unsure about how to deal with this intimacy between us.
"Are you hungry? I can whip up some waffles if you're interested."
I let out a sleep-drunk giggle and turn in his arms, reveling in his lazy smile and tousled bedhead. "How much do you hate that you can't eat carbs?"
"Worst part of fighting," he says without even a second's hesitation.
