“I just want to make sure you’re ready,” he said.
“I am. I ache so bad.”
“Then let me take care of that for you. Do you still want me hard?” She nodded. That’s exactly what she needed.
His first few thrusts started to make her nervous because the sensations were over the top.
“Stay with me,” he said. “Come on, baby. Keep your eyes on me.”
She looked into his eyes and watched him, and the world dimmed around her. It seemed to settle something inside her, making her relax.
“That’s it, babe.”
Her body arched and bucked as he rammed into her, and it touched her cervix every time, making shivers race down her body. She could feel the jagged edge of an orgasm build inside her, and the violence and depth of the sensations frightened her.
“Ax…” she cried out.
“I’ve got you. Come for me.”
Her body tightened as she reached her peak and was thrown into a smorgasbord of sensations. A strangled sob tore from her throat as her orgasm seemed to go on forever. When she crashed, she lay helplessly beneath him as he took his own pleasure. He braced himself on his elbows to keep the majority of his weight off of her as they both concentrated on gaining some control back.
“Fuck, babe. I didn’t know it could feel like that.”
She ran her hands up and down his back. “I didn’t either. It was almost scary.”
Her eyes teared up when he pressed a sweet kiss to her lips and said, “Don’t ever be afraid when I’m around because I’ll take care of you.”
“Can I take care of you, too?”
He grinned. “Fuck, yeah. You’ll lay down every time I demand. You’ll also give over control of your life to me.”
“What?” Her eyes widened.
“Mainly in the bedroom, babe. But you’ll be punished if I tell you to do something and you disobey me.”
“Serious?”
Ax nodded. “Yeah. Ask the girls about that. Just remember that I’m doing this to protect you because I couldn’t stand it if something happened to you.”
“I don’t even want to think about losing you,” she said.
“Good. Let’s get cleaned up and go down. I’ll be telling everyone that you’re my old lady.”
“Old lady?”
He chuckled. “Ask the girls.”
She nodded. She had vaguely heard that term before but couldn’t remember what it meant. All she could remember was it was something the guys took seriously.
Chapter Eighteen
The weather was warm but with a cool breeze. The women sat around the picnic table after dinner talking. It had been several weeks since she and Ax got together, and something kept bugging her.
“Hey, Ella. What’s up?” Tara asked. “I can tell something’s bothering you.”
Ella swiped the condensation off the bottle of beer she was drinking. “This is going to sound crazy.”
The women laughed.
