And then he ground his hips into hers, and Leah gasped as she dug her nails into his back. All at once their hands grew frantic, undoing buttons and zippers and clasps as they pulled clothes from each other’s bodies. The movement of Da
“I need you,” Leah murmured against his lips, and he pulled his mouth from hers with a grunt, holding his weight up in one arm as he reached for her nightstand.
She took his chin in her hand and turned his face toward her. “No,” she said through heavy breaths.
“No?” he asked, his brow furrowed.
She slid her hands behind his shoulders and pulled him back down so that his chest was flush with hers.
“Just you and me, remember?”
Da
“Nothing between us,” she whispered.
He stared at her for a second before understanding swept over his face, and she watched his throat bob as he swallowed hard.
“Just you and me,” she repeated softly.
There were several emotions flitting over his face, and Leah watched and absorbed and memorized every single one until finally he dropped his weight to his elbows, cradling her face in his hands as he positioned himself between her legs.
It took him a few moments to move, and when she felt him pushing into her, she forced her eyes to remain open, watching him as he joined their bodies inch by inch. As soon as he was fully inside her, a pleasant chill ran through her body, prickling her skin with goose bumps.
She was completely overwhelmed with the gravity of the moment: the feel of him inside her, the weight of his body on hers, the candlelight flickering on his face, his eyes looking down at her with adoration. And when her chin began to quiver, Leah let her eyes fall closed.
Da
She ran her fingertips up and down his back, and the tears building behind her eyes transitioned into tears of elation as he began moving, setting a perfect, unhurried pace.
His breaths were heavy against Leah’s lips, and after a while, she could feel the muscles in his back trembling beneath her hands. She slid them around to the front of his shoulders as she shifted beneath him, pushing him onto his back and swinging her leg over his hips. His hands came to her waist, holding her as she lowered herself onto him, and he sat up immediately, burying his face in the side of her neck.
His grip on her waist tightened, and she remained perfectly still until she felt his hands begin to relax; they slipped down the sides of her hips and over the tops of her thighs before settling on her calves. Da
The shift in her weight caused their co
She began to move against him with more insistence, and he lifted his head then, kissing her deeply. Leah could feel his arm muscles flex around her as he pulled her against his body.
“God, it’s like I can’t get close enough,” he breathed against her lips, and she moaned softly, tightening her legs around him.
They continued moving together, their pace steady and passionate and more intimate than anything Leah had ever experienced. When her body began to tremble, she closed her eyes.
“Open your eyes, Leah,” he whispered.
She did as he asked, bringing her hands to the sides of his face as she dropped her forehead to his. Their lips were parted and centimeters away from touching, but rather than close that distance, they stayed that way, their lips ghosting over each other’s with each movement.
Da
She had never been with anyone else this way before—and the fact that she could feel his release only amplified her own. Leah clutched at him, trying to keep herself grounded as her body broke apart over and over before it slowly pieced itself back together. They continued to sigh and pant into each other’s mouths until both of their movements wound down and eventually stopped.
Leah felt him start to lie back, and she unhooked her legs from behind him, bringing her knees to rest on either side of his waist as he pulled her down onto his chest. Her body rose and fell with his labored breath, and his hand came to her hair, holding her against his heart.
After a minute he rolled them gently so they were lying on their sides, and Leah reached down and found his hand, intertwining their fingers. Da
“Do I get birthday cake in bed now?” she asked, and he laughed softly.
“As soon as I can move.”
Leah smiled before she snuggled closer. “Don’t move yet.”
Da
They stayed that way for hours, alternating making love with talking quietly as Da
She had no idea how much time had passed before her eyes flew open in the darkness, and she turned quickly in a panic, clutching air until she felt his arms wrap around her.
“Shh,” he whispered into her hair. “Shh, I’m right here.”
She turned her face into him, nuzzling his chest as she tried to slow her breathing and her racing heart. “Da
“I’m right here,” he repeated against the crown of her head, his voice a strained whisper.
“Okay,” she said sleepily, and it wasn’t long before the rhythmic beating of his heart and the familiar scent of his skin lulled her back to sleep.
Seconds or minutes or hours later, she gasped loudly as she threw her arms out in search of him, relaxing with a small whimper as her body came in contact with his.
His arms tightened around her. “Baby,” he crooned softly. “I’m here.”
This time she was lucid enough to hear how broken his voice sounded, and she exhaled softly. “I’m sorry,” she whispered.
“Don’t be sorry,” he said gently, ru
“You’re not sleeping,” she pointed out, moving closer to him.
He said nothing as he continued to stroke her hair gently. Leah fought with all her might to remain awake after that, but as soon as he realized what she was doing, he began to sing softly. His low, throaty voice filled the room, his chest vibrating gently against her cheek, and she teetered on the edge of consciousness, hearing bits and pieces of the song.
The last thing she remembered was the feel of his fingers slowly working their way through her hair as he sang, “You’ll look at me, with eyes that see, and we’ll melt into each other’s arms…”
Morning.
She knew it before she even opened her eyes, and Leah felt her heart drop into her stomach.
