Her eyes widened briefly before she nodded, shifting her legs further apart in silent permission.
I maintained eye contact as I moved closer, wanting to deepen our connection. The first moment of intimacy drew a soft sound from her that I wanted to remember forever. I paid careful attention to her responses, learning what brought her pleasure. When I found the perfect rhythm, I continued with gentle dedication, focusing completely on her needs and desires.
Autumn’s hands clutched at the sheets, her head thrown back as she moved against my mouth. I slid one finger inside her warmth, then another, curving them to find the exact spot that made her eyes flutter closed. Her inner muscles clenched around my fingers as I continued my ministrations.
“Alex, I’m going to-” Her warning dissolved into a sharp cry as pleasure overtook her. I watched her face transform, memorizing every detail of her expression as
she surrendered completely to sensation.
Before she could fully recover, I moved up her body, positioning myself between her thighs. I reached for protection in the nightstand drawer, but she stopped me
with a hand on my wrist.
“I’m protected,” she said, her voice still breathless. “And I haven’t been with anyone since… in a very long time. I want nothing between us.”

The implication that there had been no one since Jake made something possessive stir inside me. I nodded, understanding the profound significance of what she was
offering.
“I haven’t either,” I admitted. “Not for years.”
Her eyes widened in surprise. “But you’re so-‘
I silenced her with a kiss. “I was waiting too. For you.”
I aligned our bodies, advancing slowly to give her time to accommodate me. Her mouth fell open in a silent gasp as we joined completely. I had to pause once fully connected, overwhelmed by the sensation of being with her without barriers. “You feel perfect,” I whispered against her lips, my control tenuous.
She wrapped her legs around my waist, drawing me impossibly deeper. “Move,
Alex. Please.”
I began a gentle rhythm, watching her face for any sign of discomfort. But there was only pleasure in her expression as she met each advance with one of her own. I adjusted slightly, and she cried out as I reached a place deep within her. “There,” she gasped.
“Just like that.”
I maintained the cadence, moving with increasing intensity. Her nails left crescents on my back that I would wear proudly as badges of honor. The room filled with the sounds of our connection–skin against skin, breathless moans, whispered words
of devotion.
When I felt her begin to tense around me again, I reached between us to touch her where we were joined. Her second release triggered my own, and I buried my face in her neck as pleasure overtook me, her name falling from my lips like a sacred
invocation.
We remained tangled together afterward, her head resting on my chest, my arms wrapped securely around her. I traced lazy patterns on her back as our breathing gradually normalized.
“Alex?” she murmured against my skin.
“Mmm?”

“I don’t think anymore.”
I glanced down at her, confused. “Don’t think what?”
She raised her head to meet my eyes, a soft smile illuminating her face. “I don’t think I could fall in love with you.” She pressed a kiss to my chest, right over my
heart. “I know I already have.”
The words I’d waited a lifetime to hear. I tightened my arms around her, cradling
her closer.
“I’ve loved you since we were children,” I confessed. “I never stopped.”
She settled back against my chest with a contented sigh. In that moment, with Autumn in my arms, I knew that everything–the years of waiting, the careful planning, the heartache of watching her pine for someone else–had been worth
- it.
