happier. But I want to do this right, and I think moving in together after a few dates isn’t a good idea. Especially since you’ve never really been a relationship kind of guy. I don’t want to smother you.”
“You wouldn’t,” he put in, but she put her hand over his mouth.
“I wouldn’t want you to feel smothered,” she went on. “I like where we are and what we’re building. All in, right?” He nodded. “Then give me a chance to get my life back in order, so that I can be as good to you as you are to me. You’re right, I don’t want to work at the Pier forever. I want things. I have dreams, and with you by my side, cheering me on, I think those dreams can one day become real. So I’m not saying no to your proposition; I’m saying not yet.”
“Fair enough. I can live with that.” He sat up and kissed her. “So, can I ask you about those dreams?”
She hesitated before speaking. “I’d like to one day open a yoga studio.”
“That’s it? You can totally do that, Jessica. I can help. Let’s look at spaces this weekend.”
She laughed. “You’re crazy, Slade. I don’t have the financial ability to do that yet. I will someday—I’ve been saving. I’m going to make it happen. I just need a little time. But thanks for the support, baby.” He smiled. He liked the “baby” endearment from her. It didn’t sound insipid. And it turned him on.
“So…not that I don’t want to hear more about your dreams, but I’m dying to ask,” Slade said as he flipped them around so she now lay on her back with him on top. “You wanted to be fucked. How was it?”
“It was soooo good. I think you’ve ruined me for every other man…forever.”
His face hardened. He didn’t want to think of his Jessica doing anything with any other man. This woman not only made him lose his mind with wanting to protect her but also made him crazy with jealousy. “Lady, I want to be your last…so you better get used to that.”
Her eyes welled up with tears, and she whispered, “All in.”
“Now you’re getting it, baby.” Then he began to kiss her. This time it was a tender caress between two people who were more than lovers. Her fingers didn’t dig into his skin but moved slowly up and down his back. His hand stroked her face before moving down to her neck.
“Are we fucking again?” she asked eagerly.
“I’ve brought out the bad language in you, I see.” She rolled her eyes, but he continued. “I’m going to tell you a little secret, baby. What we did earlier wasn’t fucking. With you, it’s never going to be fucking. We made love. Even if it wasn’t slow, it was still making love. But now I’m going to do what I should have done if you hadn’t been so eager and challenging. I’m going to take you slow and soft, and then when we’re done, I’m going to do it again. At some point during the night, while I hold you, my cock’s going to slip inside of you, and I’m going to take you again. By the time the sun comes up, you’re going to know what it is to be so sated you won’t be able to move. And, that, lady, is a promise.”
Her mouth opened in shock, but before she was able to say anything, his mouth was on her lips. And then Slade made good on his promise.

Parts of Jessica’s body that she hadn’t previously known existed ached deliciously. She was being cocooned by a warm, hard body, which she now realized snored. Not the loud and annoying kind of snore, but the kind of snore that…Well, it was sort of annoying.
Jessica turned to face him. His arms tightened, bringing her too close to be able to focus on his face, so she gently pulled back a little. She smiled when she saw her rough and tough macho man looking so peaceful. His features were relaxed, making him look younger.
A barely intelligible mumble came out of him: “You’re staring.” His eyes remained closed.
“I am.”
He opened one blue eye, smiled, and closed it again.
“You snore,” Jessica
“You wouldn’t,” he put in, but she put her hand over his mouth.
