“Come here, baby girl.” His tone is softer than I’m used to hearing him use in the bedroom. It’s sobering and I wonder if I’m going to see a different side of Bennett tonight.

He lifts me onto the bed and gently lays me on my back before settling himself between my spread thighs. When his tongue lazily laps at my clit, I moan so loud it echoes off the walls.

“Shhh,” he murmurs against my swollen clit and my hips shoot off the bed. “You’ve got to be quiet, Red, or we’ll get a noise complaint.”

Struggling to catch my breath, I say, “Let them kick us out. We’ll just pick up where we leave off at home.”

That earns me a chuckle which vibrates against my overly sensitive core. I curl my fingers through his hair, guiding him to where I want him. His tongue works me into a frenzy, and when he thrusts his tongue into my pussy while rubbing my clit in slow circles with his thumb, I become untethered from this world as my orgasm pulls me under.

Only after he helps me ride out the aftershocks of my orgasm does he line himself up, slowly thrusting his length inside of me. Bennett captures my lips, sliding his tongue along my bottom one before gently tugging it between his teeth. When he bottoms out, he waits for me to adjust, taking his time as he deliciously grinds his hips against mine, brushing my clit in the most mindmelting way. His piercings have never felt more deliciously pleasurable.

When he finally breaks the kiss, he says, “I love you so fucking much, Scarlett.”

The feel of his full weight on top of me combined with his declaration and intense eye contact is more than I can take, my heart cracks wide open as his love drowns me.

“I love you too, Bennett.”

He suddenly goes still above me. “Fuck, Scar, I got so caught up in the moment that I didn’t put on a condom. I’m so sorry, I’ve never gone without before. I’ll go grab one.”

Bennett moves to pull out, but I hold his hips in place. “It’s okay. I’m fine to go without if you are. I don’t want anything between us. You already know I’ve got an IUD and we’ve both been tested.”

“Are you sure?” he asks, his gaze searching mine for hesitation he won’t find.

“I’ve never been more sure. Now make love to me, Benny,” I plead.

His answering thrust has me sliding up the bed and there’s nothing but devotion and need reflecting in his eyes. The feeling of his piercing without a barrier between us is unlike anything I’ve ever felt. I rock my hips to meet his, watching with rapt fascination as he slowly loses control.

Bennett cups my face, tangling the tips of his fingers in my hair as he rests his forehead against mine.

“Scarlett, baby, you feel so fucking good like this.”

“So good,” I pant. “I’m so close.” Bennett picks up his pace, grinding against my clit in the perfect way. “Right there, don’t stop!”

He continues his pace, only hitting me deeper and deeper until my stomach tightens as my pussy clenches around his length in a vice grip.

With one final thrust, Bennett shatters with me. Warmth fills me as he spills inside me, heightening my climax even further as I feel his cock throb.

My chest heaves as we come down from the high. When Bennett pulls out of me, he doesn’t move at first, instead he places soft kisses along my jawline.

Eventually, he gets off the bed and grabs a towel to clean me up.

I nuzzle against his chest, feeling safe in his warm embrace. A satisfied sigh escapes my lips, and it’s not long before sleep takes me.

I wake the next morning to find Bennett staring at me.

“Are you counting my freckles again?” I mumble, my voice laced with sleep.

“Am I that obvious?”

“You are. But it’s too early for this. Go back to bed,” I groan.

“No, I’ve been sitting here staring at you waiting for you to wake up.”

“What do you need, Benny?” I mutter, peeking at him through one eye.

His serious gaze gives me pause. “Marry me for real.”

“Are you ever going to ask me, or will you just demand it,” I sass back.
