“I’ve… only been with one other guy besides you.”
Jake felt the air expel from his mouth as if he were holding his breath the whole time. He felt relieved and suddenly jealous of the idea of another man being inside what he felt was now his. He slid next to her as he continued to brush his fingers over her stomach. How could she have only done this once before? The way she touched him... It was as if he had told her exactly what would turn him on the most. Jake struggled to find the right words to say.
Madi smiled shyly at him. “If you’re wondering if I’ve only had sex once, then no. One guy, then yes. We always used protection. I don’t know what came over me in Germany. I think I was afraid you would stop if I let you get away from me.”
Jake felt his chest pull tight. “Are you sorry?”
“No! Being with you, in that way, it was a first for me, too. It felt… right. I’ve never trusted anyone the way I trust you.”
He slid his hand through his hair as he lovingly assessed her face. “It kills me that you didn’t know how I felt about you when I made love to you. To think you thought I was only with you to get rid of you wounds me deeply. When I finally kissed you… I let it all go. I knew I couldn’t push you away anymore. It was the first time I felt certain. I was trying to show you how much I loved you. Tonight, I need to make sure there is no doubt in your mind.”
Madi turned toward him. Her leg wrapped around his waist and her fingers and eyes trailed the lines of his chest. “You did show me. I think I was afraid to let myself believe what I felt. I’ve wanted this for so long. Just to be in your arms…” She smiled as she sucked her bottom lip into her mouth. “By the way, in case you didn’t already know, you’re an amazing kisser.”
“I am, huh?” Jake smirked as he licked his lips.
“You know you are,” Madi giggled as she rolled her eyes. “I knew your mouth was amazing from your singing, but boy did I underestimate your talent.”
“You have beautiful lips.” His hand trailed down her stomach and his finger stroked her wet spot again. “Both of them.”
Madi’s chest rose and she quickly inhaled as he surprised her with his touch. Her hand slid down his chest until she found him again, stroking him hungrily as they matched pressure and flow.
Jake felt his eyes roll back in his head. He glanced down at her naked body and took a steadying breath. He couldn’t resist her any longer. He lowered himself onto her and his eyes searched hers. “Do you have any idea just how much I love you?”
“Show me,” she replied.
His mouth melted into hers as he eased himself into her. When he had entered her as deeply as possible, and he was completely buried inside her, he stopped moving and inspected her face. He balanced on his hands, arms outstretched, as his body rose but remained slightly against her chest. He leaned into her as his lips rested on her neck, planting small, soft kisses. He glanced up to see her eyes were filled with same desire and need he had for her. He bent down so that his elbows rested on either side of her face. His finger brushed a hair from her lips and he suddenly felt flooded with warmth as his skin shivered from her silkiness. His nerve endings stirred as he studied her face, her eyes probing his questioningly. He moved slightly and felt her insides clench him tightly, causing him to smile. Then, with no words spoken, she seemed to understand what he needed. Her hand reached up and touched his cheek. He knew she could feel the significance of the moment. He kissed her palm and lifted himself as he slowly thrust himself in and out of her, building with intensity and watching her face as she moaned and bucked her body in sync with his motions.
He slowed as he concentrated on the way she felt around him. His mouth tugged her breast as his hand lifted her into him from behind. It suddenly felt deeper, and Madi groaned pleasingly into his ear. Her hands reached behind him and dug into his flesh. Their bodies rocked and grinded as if they were molding into one. He began to pick up the rhythm again and found himself moaning as he got closer to finding his release. He couldn’t hold on much longer. He could feel himself building as she lifted her legs around him and grabbed him from behind, pulling him in deeper. Madi’s breaths came faster and faster, and Jake could tell she was getting close.
“Jake!” Her body shuddered in orgasm and Jake released, pouring himself into her. He lay there on top of her, and when their breathing finally slowed, he opened his eyes and looked into the big, beautiful windows to her soul.
She smiled with her eyes “Best. Steak. Ever.”
“You are always worth the wait.”
“I love you, Jake.”
He smiled. “Look in my eyes. Do you see how I’m looking at you right now? Right at this moment as I lie here still connected to you?”
She nodded as her fingers trailed over the muscles of his back.
“You are everything to me. I’ll never fuck this up again. I love you, Madi. You’re my steak, too.”
Madi smiled as she pulled his mouth to hers. He’d never, ever let her go again.
Jake’s phone rang and broke him from his memory. He recognized Dave’s number and his face turned stern. “What’s going on?”
“I have an update.”
