Norah stands in front of me in all her naked glory with those enormous eyes drinking me in, and my heart stutters. When she said Sawyer proposed to her, I was out of my mind with jealousy.

The feeling swarmed over me with an intensity that had my hands shaking with fear. And anger. Anger at myself for letting her go. Anger at her for settling for someone she tolerated but didn’t love with passion. And then back to anger at myself for not punching the guy in the face when he was hanging all over her at the café the other day. I should’ve told him then that she was mine and to back off.

She arches an eyebrow. “Well?”

My eyes narrow into slits as I grasp my belt. “I was envisioning bloodying his face.”

“Don’t.” She slightly shakes her head and places her hands on my chest. “He doesn’t love me and wanted me to say no so he could tell his father I refused.” Her soft, warm palms feel amazing against my skin, and what little blood is remaining in my brain travels farther south. “He and his father are in an epic battle over his inheritance.”

“I don’t care.” I raise her arms above her head and hold them in place with the belt stretched across them. “He tried to take what’s mine, and I’m not letting him. You’re mine, and I told you that the day I saw him hovering around you like the last piece of cake on a platter, and he was starving.”

Her eyes dilate until it’s impossible to see the ring of her irises. “You have a way with words.” Her chest heaves as she arches her pelvis into me.

I lean down and inhale her scent. Norah and baked goods. Her scent swirls in my brain, imprinting on every fiber of my being. “They’re not words. I’m obsessed with you and have been since the day I met you. You caught me when I was feeling down and incompetent, but having you fight back and not back down sparked something I didn’t think still existed inside of me. Hope for a future.”

Her eyes swim with emotions as she twists her hands around the edges of the belt. “Your pretty mouth pissed me off. I’d never met someone who both turned me on and made me want to punch them in the mouth at the same time.”

“Babe, consider me always at your service.” I drop the belt, letting her take control of it, and slide my lips along her jaw.

“I do like the sound of that.” She slides her hands down my body, gripping the buckle of my jeans, yanking the enclosure open, and grasps my cock inside her dainty hand.

“Fucking heaven.” I claim her mouth, this time, my tongue against hers, and steal her whimpers of approval. Why did I question whether we belonged together? I should’ve known the second I sought her out and kept seeking her out. She drew me like a moth to a flame.

My hands caress every inch of her glorious skin as she takes me higher and higher with her eager exploration of my lower body. Her nails and the belt scrape along my abdomen and thighs, and then her thumb strokes the sensitive spot below the head of my cock as her other hand caresses my tight balls. My eyes roll back into my head. “That feels so good.”

“Does it?” Her voice is husky and filled with lust. “How about this?” She wraps the belt around my dick and strokes up and down. Leather and a tight fist.

“Baby, you’re killing me.” I rip the belt from her hand, dropping it to the floor, and raise her leg, impaling her with my dick. Her molten walls cradle my body as she gasps. The sweet inhalation of her breath has me losing control. I almost lost her tonight.

That’s never going to happen.

“You’re mine.” I grasp her thighs, lift her up with her back pressed into the door and fuck her with an intensity that drowns everything out. Sloane and all her drama disappear. Norah saying she didn’t want to see me again, my knee, the possibility of further injury, all of it is forgotten. The only thing remaining is her clinging to me and begging me to go harder. Deeper. Faster.

The world spins around us but all I see is her face. Her flushed cheeks. Her gaping mouth. The pleasure in her eyes. God, I want this forever.

She grasps my face. “You feel so good deep inside of me. I love how full you make me feel.” Her words are mixed with moans as she digs her heels into my ass.

“That’s my good girl. Tell me how good I make you feel.”

“So good.” She rotates her hips and grinds her pelvis into me, ensuring I don’t go far when I lunge backward. “Please, don’t stop. It feels so good. Right there. Just like that.”

“Yes, baby.” My mouth smashes against hers, and our tongues join in our frantic mating as the sounds of our bodies crashing against each other fill the room.

Nothing has ever felt as intense as sex with Norah. It was never this intense. This soul-searing. It was a means to an end. This is–everything.

When I look at her, I see the future. Norah cheering me on in the stands with Gino at her side. Gino and I traveling to Evergreen Lake and teaching him to fish in the summer. Running this crazy restaurant with my brother. Norah’s face flushed with joy as she grows big with my baby in her belly. I want it all. I want what I should’ve had from the beginning if I wouldn’t have been stupid and fucked some random woman at a club.

My thighs sting as I continue to pummel her molten heat. But I’m not stopping. Not until she’s screaming my name and is forever seared into my soul. I need reassurance that when I leave, she won’t forget me. That she’s as impacted by this as I am.

She pulls back and digs her nails into my shoulders. “I’m so close. It feels so fucking good. I don’t want it to ever stop. But….” She shudders, and her pussy quakes around me.

Fuck. My balls tighten as sweat slides down my forehead. “I can’t stop. Not when your pussy is sucking me.”

“God, yes.” She clenches her walls and stares into my eyes as my thrusts become so erratic that it’s like someone else has taken over my body.

“Fuck!” Her glassy eyes widen as her entire body shakes. “Fu-u-u-u-ck!” She gasps, “Come with me, please.”

“Jesus.” I grunt as spasms of semen spurt from my dick, filling her core with my seed. I stiffen and quake as her sex squeezes every drop of cum from my balls. It’s so intense it feels like she’s pulling it from my toes.

When I inhale, her eyes blink open. A condom. Again, I forgot to put on a condom. Only this time, the panic doesn’t overcome me. I caress her hips and rest my forehead against hers. “Are you okay?”

“Okay?” She looks at me incredulously and threads her fingers into my hair. “Okay is such a small word for what I feel. I feel happy, content, satisfied.” She licks her lips. “I feel like the world lit up with light and shone down on me. Just for me. And you put that light there.”

How could I have let this woman walk away from me? I’ll never make that same mistake again.

After disengaging from her sex, I swing her into my arms. “Where’s the bedroom? I’m not even close to being done with you.”

She frowns. “What about Gino?”

“Marco and Eden are watching him tonight.” I grin as her eyes light up with anticipation. “So, you get me all to yourself for tonight.”

“That sounds like heaven.”
