I can’t bear the thought of not having you for even a second now that I’ve got you under me.” She smiles so big and brightly at me, it’s as if she can feel the same things I’ve always felt for her. “This is insane,” she tells me, leaning up to kiss me quickly. “I feel this pull between us, and I’ve never felt anything like this before. It’s…it’s—” “Love,” I finish for her. “Love,” she repeats, and we stare into each other’s eyes. Thrusting into Noelle gently, I try to take her tenderly this time. Less hurried and less afraid of the moment vanishing. I kiss her passionately and whisper my promises of devotion and desire. And when we find our peaks together, her name on my lips and mine on hers, I cradle her in my arms and hold her while she sleeps, truly happy, inside and out, for the first time in my life. I reach for her every hour throughout the night, making love multiple times until exhaustion carries us off to sleep.
