Aiden’s hands slide up my legs. He’s slow when he pulls my clothes off, taking his time with my pants and then my shirt. He kisses a trail from my collarbone to my navel, pulling my panties and bra off before dropping them over the side of the bed.
I’m just as slow when I pull his shirt and pants off, exploring every inch of his skin. I linger over the hard curves of his muscles, reminding myself that this is the body he swore he’d protect me with. He said he would keep our child safe, and I believe him.
It’s just the two of us, naked, completely bared before each other. I still need him, but this isn’t about that. This is about us. How far we’ve come, how far we want to go.
Aiden leans down to kiss me again, and I meet him halfway. He kisses me deeper, tongue pressed to my lips before I moan, my mouth parting for him.
He has one hand between my legs, his fingers slow as he teases me. All I can hear is the sound of our breathing in the dim room. There are no sounds in this space, only us.
I slide a hand over his arm, feeling the strength hiding beneath his skin. I hold his hand in place as he fingers me, my hips pushing up toward him, gasping in pleasure when he presses inside me. He lowers his mouth to my neck, and I can feel the heat of his breath.
I try to focus, one hand lowering to wrap around his cock. I stroke it slowly, feeling how hard he already is. He touches me as I touch him, drawing him closer to me. I’m already so wet, and I can feel him leaking, precum beading at his tip.
Fuck, I need to have him inside me. I need to know that we’re still fine, that we can make it through this.
“Please,” I gasp, shuddering as Aiden’s hand moves faster. “Aiden—”
“Shh,” he whispers, his mouth pressing against mine. “Let me take care of you, little dove.”
I start to speak, but he turns me over and then his cock slides against me, teasing. I gasp as I push myself up onto my forearms, leaning back against his body. My legs shake, but he doesn’t move just yet, the heat of his cock pressing along my clit.
I can feel how wet I am, how rock hard he is as he teases my pussy. He slides against me again and again without pressing inside, and I lose myself in the hot glide for a while… but it’s not enough.
“Please,” I whimper. “I need more. I know you’ll be gentle. Just—please!”
I reach back for him, grasping at his wrist, but he stops me.
“Let me,” he says, his voice low. Then the head of his cock presses against me as he enters me in one firm push.
“Yes,” I gasp, hands grasping for something to hold. I knot the sheets beneath my palms as he drives inside me.
I feel like lava inside, burning as Aiden fills me deeper. I can barely breathe, holding on to the sheets for dear life as he starts to move again. He pulls out slowly, and I make a noise of protest, but his hand presses against my ass and holds me in place.
He thrusts inside me once again, still slow, and I shudder as pleasure rolls through my body. This is slower than we’ve ever gone before, sweeter, hotter. I’m panting like I’ve run a mile, the energy of keeping myself in place starting to burn me out.
We could fuck hard until we come, but it’s not what either of us needs or wants right now. This is right. This slow pace is everything.
I can feel every inch as he moves, and it burns me from the inside out, like a fire that’s turning everything down and making something new from the ashes.
“Aiden,” I gasp as ecstasy starts to build inside me. “Let me see you.”
I need to see his face. He pulls away, his cock sliding from me before he rolls me onto my back again, holding my legs open as he fills me once more. His eyes are burning with need, love, and raw desire. He stares down at me like he wants to memorize my face, to remember every detail as he makes us one.
“Close,” I whisper, my arms wrapping around his shoulders. “I’m close. Come with me, Aiden. Please.”
“I’m with you,” he groans. “I’m right here. God, Rose.”
We both come in a burst, Aiden groaning as his lips press against my neck. I cry out as I orgasm, everything drowned in a bright, white light.
I can feel every pulse of his cock. It throbs deep inside me, filling me with heat as I clench tighter around him. We both breathe heavily as it ends, everything slowing to a crawl as we rest in each other’s arms.
He doesn’t pull out even as his cock starts to soften, and I don’t want him to. I never want to lose this, never want to let go of the connection between us.
After a moment, he rolls us so that we’re side by side, my body molded against his. I lie next to Aiden as my eyelids drift shut, letting comfort seep into my bones. This is all I’ve wanted with him, all I’ve ever needed. No matter what’s happening in the world outside of us, we have each other here.
And for right now, that’s enough.
