“Oh my god.” I groaned. He was big. So much bigger than his fingers had been. And it’d been a minute since I’d—

He pressed a tender kiss against my forehead. “You okay, baby?”

“I…yeah. Fantastic. Full. So full.” I blinked up at him, and my heart thudded unevenly at the tender expression on his face.

“We’ll go at your speed. Ain’t got anywhere to be. Nothing better than being here with you. Like this.”

I wiggled my hips slightly, and he closed his eyes with a muttered curse.

“But if you keep doing that, this is going to be over before it’s started.”

“Nice to know how much power I have in this relationship.” I pursed my lips, fighting against the urge to grin at him.

“I’m going to be in so much trouble when you really figure it out.” Before I could wrap my mind around that statement, Ben slowly pulled his cock out. Then, just as slowly, thrust back inside me.

I whimpered. It felt so good. And the way he was looking at me was everything. I’d never felt so much. My heart was so freaking full.

“Aw, baby.” Ben groaned and burrowed his face in my neck and started thrusting faster.

In just a few minutes he had me mindless with need. And with nothing more than him thrusting into me. I wrapped my legs around his lean hips and met him thrust for thrust.

“Ah, Ben. I don’t… I can’t—” I screamed as I went over. My fingers clawed at his back as I fought to get closer even as my pussy clenched and shuddered around his cock.

“Uh. Fuck. Em. I don’t—” His lips came down over mine as he kissed me harshly. Our teeth clashed for a second, and then he was suckling at my tongue as he ground his hips into mine.

That tiny bit of extra friction had me coming again. “Oh my god. Oh Ben!”

“Christ, woman. You trying to kill me?”

Then I was laughing even as aftershocks rocked through my body. This wasn’t like any time I’d had sex before.

And as I looked into Ben’s eyes, I realized I really, really loved everything about it.

Because I was falling for this man. So hard.

And judging by the tender look in his eyes…

I was afraid to even finish the thought. It was too soon. We didn’t know anything about each other. I didn’t even know his last name.

Holy shit. I just had a one-night stand.Me. I didn’t do things like that. I was a good girl. I—

“I can hear you spiraling from here.” Ben gently pulled himself free, one hand holding the condom in place, then he laid on his side next to me. “That was amazing. Life altering. And scary as hell. But I’m still here. I want to be here with you. For as long as you want me around. Okay?”

“Okay,” I whispered back. Tears burned at my eyes again for the same reason as before. I felt so much for this man. I didn’t really understand it. “But this is crazy, right? Like to feel like this after one day?”

“It’s never happened to me before, but when you know, you know. You know?”

I rolled my eyes at his silly attempt at humor. He leaned over and gave me another sweet, tender kiss.

“Please don’t run off. But I gotta go take care of this.” He nodded at his messy condom. “Promise you’ll still be here when I come back.”

“Promise,” I whispered back, and he gave me an approving smile.

“Good.” Then he swung out of the bunk, and I heard him stomp down the hall.

I curled into my side and tried not to think. Closing my eyes, I tried to calm my racing heart and repeated a new mantra to myself.

When you know, you know.
