you need to let what he did to you go or it will control your life.” He pushed my hair away from my shoulder. “Take everything he said to you, every lie that left his lips and put them into ball, then throw it all away, erase it from your life. You are perfect, okay? Perfect for me and I am so glad I found you.” He pressed his lips to my shoulder and then moved to my mouth, I moved back from his lips, “What?”
“I haven’t even brushed my teeth.”
“I don’t care, I want you right now,” he pulled me onto his lap and wrapped his arms around me. In true, morning style, he was more than ready for me, I straddled his waist and allowed him to slip inside of me. “Grace, I am not wearing a condom.”
“I have a contraceptive implant,” I smiled, “besides, I trust you.” I added. I did, I felt that he would have told me if there was something I needed to know regarding his sexual history and the way he spoke to me that sunny morning, almost caused me to orgasm at his words.
I rocked my pelvis over him as he kissed me deeply, turned on so much by his words, it didn’t take long before that ache to start pushing its way through my body, he was like that ice cold drink on a scorching hot day, that warm soup in the winter, one that touched your very soul when you shivered from the cold. The most delicious chocolate ever created, melting slowly on your tongue. He satisfied a need in me, a thirst, the trouble is, the more I had from him, the more I wanted.
His hands caressed the sides of my breasts, stroking his thumbs over my nipples as he groaned in my mouth, my ache intensifying, I increased my speed, pushing against him, until I crashed, smashing into him, feeling him reach every single nerve in my body like a wave, a blissful orgasmic wave washing over me.
He came only a few moments later and pressed his lips against my shoulder while he pushed in as far as he could, his fingertips pressing hard against me for a few moments as he slowly melted in my arms and relaxed, leaning make slightly, he gazed into my eyes.
“This is going to sound crazy and possibly a little too soon since we only met four days ago, but, Grace, I know my heart and my heart tells me, I am in love you.”
“I must be crazy too then, because I am in love with you as well.” The words just fell from my lips, it’s was as if my heart spoke to him. He kissed me again, smiling under my mouth.
As our lips parted, I gazed deep into his eyes, “Fancy a swim?” he asked.
“We’d have to shower first,” I frowned, still not wanting to move from his arms.
“Actually, we don’t.” He grinned. I reluctantly climbed from his lap.
“Alec, I have to take a shower,” I grumbled, I so needed one after that insanely hot sex.
“If you must, but be quick,” he stood from the bed, completely naked and pulled open the white curtain covering the wall of windows in front of us. All I could see was blue sky, “I have a roof top pool, where no one can see us, so…” he slid open the door and allowed the cool, early morning breeze to blow in. “I’ll be in the water.”
I watched from the window as he dived completely naked into the water, but I still felt like I needed a shower. Hurrying to the bathroom, I hopped into the shower and used some of his gel to wash my body. With a towel wrapped around me, I hurried out to the pool and stood at the water’s edge while watching him swim.
“That was quick,” he smiled. “Come on in, it feels great.”
Taking a deep breath of bravery, I allowed the towel to drop to my feet and dived,
