My dick had no complaints about that. The raw plea was all I needed as I pulled my head up, my face smeared with her wetness. My dick was screaming, a heavy, aching weight that demanded release. I shifted, positioning myself, my gaze locked on hers, as I plunged inside her. A guttural groan ripping from my throat as I buried myself deep. The soft, wet heat of her pussy a welcome embrace around my throbbing dick.

Her legs instinctively wrapped around my waist, pulling me impossibly close. Her breath hitched as I found a rhythm we both enjoyed. She cried out, her nails digging into my shoulders, her hips arching to meet my thrusts.

My thrusts sped up as I pounded into Ember. It felt incrediblebeing inside her. Her moans mingled with my own. The truck creaked and rocked with every thrust.

This wasn’t how I’d imagined our first time, not after all this. Not in the front seat of my truck, on a deserted mountain road. I’d dreamed of laying Ember down in soft sheets, whispering sweet, loving words, as I cascaded kisses down her body. But right now, none of that mattered. All that mattered was Ember, wrapped around me, her body hot and responsive, as her cries of pleasure echoed around us. I needed her. Needed this. Needed to feel her, truly feel her, after so long.

“Ember,” I moaned. “I’m going to come, Firefly. I need you to get there.”

I reached between us, my fingers finding her slick, swollen clit. I began to flick it, tracing slow, firm circles. Her breath hitched, her body tensing.

“Colton, I’m almost there,” she gasped, her voice strained with pleasure. “Don’t stop. Please, don’t stop!”

Her plea ignited something within me. I sped up my thrusts, driving into her with a furious urgency, feeling tingles erupt along my spine. Her nails dug into my back, her legs clamped tighter around my waist. Then, she cried out in pure ecstasy. “I’m coming! Oh, God, I’m coming!”

That’s all it took for my own release. “Yes!” I roared, feeling the first tremors ripple through my own body. The release was instantaneous, hot ropes of cum spurting deep inside her.

I laid over her for a long moment trying to catch my breath, the lingering scent of sex filling the small space. After my heart had calmed and I was able to breathe again, I slowly untangled myself from Ember.

After we were dressed again, as we sat in my truck, I pulled Emberinto my arms, holding her close against me. Her head rested on my shoulder, her fingers idly tracing patterns on my arm. I peppered soft kisses on the side of her head, my thumb ghosting circles on her side, just above her hip.

“I’m sorry,” I murmured.

She stirred slightly, turning her head to look up at me. Her eyes questioning. “Sorry for what?”

“This,” I said, gesturing vaguely around the truck cabin. “This wasn’t how I wanted our first time to be. Not after all this time, and all we’ve been through. You deserved for our first time to be in a bed, Ember. Not… this.” I waved a hand around the cramped space.

Ember shifted, pulling back just enough to meet my gaze directly. A small smile, warm and genuine, touched her lips. “Colton, are you kidding me?” She reached up, cupping my cheek, her thumb stroking gently. “Do you honestly think I cared about the ‘where’ or the ‘how’ in that moment?”

I looked at her, searching her eyes for any hint of regrets, when I didn’t see any I said, “But, I’ve had so much time to think about it. To imagine it. And it was never… in the front seat of my truck, like two teenagers with nowhere to go”

She laughed, a low, throaty sound that sent a fresh wave of warmth through me. “Well,” she began, continuing to laugh. “When you put it like that, it’s kind of funny. One of us really needs to get their own place.” Then in a serious tone she said, “But seriously Colton, stop overthinking it. Yes, it was unexpected. Yes, it was a little crazy. But it wasus. It was real, Colton. And it was exactly what I needed, exactly what we needed. There was so much raw emotion, so much longing built up… Colton, it was perfect.” She leaned in, pressing a soft kiss to mylips. “It doesn’t matter where we are, Colton. It only matters that we’re together. And that we finally are.”

Her words calmed me. She was right. It wasn’t about some romantic cliche setting, it was about our connection.

“Still, I promise you a better next time,” I whispered, pulling her back into my arms, pressing a kiss to her hair.

She chuckled, nestled against me. “I’ll hold you to that, Colton.”

Chapter 32

Colton

Its been a few weeks since that night in my truck with Ember. In that time, it feels like we’re making progress in our relationship. We’re finding our way back to each other and getting to know each other again.

While we’ve made sure to take a breather and spend time apart, we’re still together a lot. I couldn’t imagine going more than a day without seeing her and I definitely couldn’t go without hearing her voice at the end of each night. If we don’t see each other everyday, we at least talk at night before we go to sleep.

Tonight we were parked in my truck in her driveway, the engine turned off, the windows rolled down to let in the cool, September air. Ember was seated almost all the way on my side of the truck’s front seat, her head on my chest, while I had one arm wrapped tightly around her and the other rested on the window. Her fingers traced circles on my thighs as we just sat there enjoying the comfortable silence.

“You’re quiet,” she murmured softly. “What’s going through that head of yours, Soldier.”

I squeezed her tighter to me. I loved that she still called me her soldier. “Just thinking.”

“About what?”

I’d been thinking about something for a few days now, and what better time than now to bring it up. “Us.”

She lifted her head, her eyes meeting mine, a look of worry in them. “Us?”
