The night had been filled with teasing and foreplay, and my pussy wept for him. He slid his fingers over my opening to check my readiness.

“I want to feel you, Sophia, skin against skin,” he said in my ear.

“Yes,” I moaned.

He stroked the head of his cock over my wetness. We had teased, kissed, and touched so much over the last seven hours that I was aching for him. I thought I was ready for him, but when he began to slide inside of me, I felt my body stretch painful to adapt to the fullness. His cock impaled me and I bit his shoulder to stop myself from crying out. His hips rocked slowly back and forth.

“You feel so fucking good,” he said as he fully nestled his cock inside me.

I moaned in his ear as he withdrew his cock and slammed it back into my body. My back arched and I was sore from the intrusion. I wrapped my legs around his back and hooked my feet together. The thrusts became relentless and never ending. My body was strumming from the sensation of his cock moving inside of me. My body tensed and he began to pick up speed. He pumped faster and harder until my body became undone. Flashes of light filled my eyes as my breath left me. I held his shoulder, unable to form a sound. The ripples of pleasure filled my world and everything else ceased to exist. My body grew limp under his, he became tense, and his rhythm became erratic. His breathing changed and his eyes closed. I watched his face in wonder as I watched him savor the same ecstasy that had filled my very being moments earlier.

No one had ever made love to me in the way Kayden had. My world had been altered permanently, and I knew that all before him were mediocre lovers. He had ruined me for all other men.

He rested his forehead against mine and caught his breath. His lips swept across mine in a tender loving gesture. His body fell to my side and he put his arm above his head.

“I want to hold you,” he said.

I immediately moved my body into the crook of his arm and wrapped my legs around his. I rested my arm on his chest and splayed my fingers in his goatee. I played with the hair on his face until I drifted into a peaceful sleep.

My stomach was doing flips and my eyes popped open. The alcohol I consumed last night had made me queasy. I couldn’t get comfortable. It was early, and we’d only slept a couple of hours. He opened his eyes and looked at me. I prayed he didn’t regret anything and that he would still be the sweet man he had been the night before.

“Are you okay?” Kayden asked.

“I don’t feel good. I don’t usually drink so much. My stomach feels sick.”

“What can I get you?” he asked me with a sympathetic look in his eyes.

I wasn’t sure how to respond. I knew I needed something to help quell my stomach, but I was exhausted and wouldn’t be able to sleep feeling like I was.

“Maybe something to help my stomach feel better.”

“Let me go see what we have. I know we have to have something around here,” he said, stroking my face.

I watched as he crawled out of bed and headed for the door. His body was beautiful, and I still couldn’t believe that I had sex with such a beautiful man. His ass was amazing—perfectly shaped and smooth. I didn’t want to take my eyes off of him.

“Here, Soph, I found some medicine and some aspirin so you don’t end up with a headache.” he said as he sat next to me on the bed, holding a glass of water and the medicine.

I gulped it down and he put the glass on the nightstand and crawled back under the covers with me. He grabbed me and pulled me close. I wrapped my body around him and curled up to drift back to sleep.

“I don’t want to freak you out, but can I ask you something?”

Panicked, I put my hand over his mouth and said, “No.”

What the hell is he going to ask me? I don’t know if I wanted to hear it.

My eyes were glued on him and my hand remained over his mouth. I remained frozen for a moment until he began to laugh against my palm. I spread my fingers just enough to allow sound to pass through.

“Will you be my girlfriend, Sophia?”

Is this a joke? My mind went blank… words escaped me.

“Your words captured my heart, and I fell for you before I ever touched you. I didn’t want to open my heart to anyone, but you, you seeped into my veins bringing new meaning to my life. Being with you in person only made my feelings deeper for you, sealing my fate,” he said. “I want you to be mine… I will not share you with anyone.”

“Yes, Kayden,” I said. His words stole my breath and warmed my body.

Contentment overcame me, and I drifted back to sleep tucked into his arms. I woke to the sound of rain thumping against the window panes. Kayden was sitting on the edge of the bed rubbing his eyes.

“I’ll be right back,” Kayden said to me as he picked his shorts off the floor.

“I’m not going anywhere,” I said to him as I sprawled out on his bed.

I heard the water turn on in the bathroom. I waited for him to return. I was too tired to do anything anyway. I heard noises coming from the kitchen as he moved around the apartment.

“Come on, baby doll. I ran a bath for us,” he said to me as he pulled back the covers to reveal my flesh, his hands outstretched towards me.

I grabbed his hands and let him pull me out of bed. I followed behind him as he guided us to the bathroom. When I entered the bathroom, he had not only made a bubble bath, but had candles flickering everywhere. It was romantic; no one had ever done anything like this for me before. I stopped in the doorway.

“What’s wrong?” Kayden asked.

“You did this for me?” I asked, still in shock.

“Yes, for us. You don’t like it?” he asked concerned.

“Oh, I love it. No one has ever made a bath for me. It’s sweet,” I told him. I could feel my eyes filling with water.

“Well, get used to it. I want to take care of you. You deserve this, Sophia,” he said to me as he pulled me towards the bathtub.

He stepped into the bathtub first and I followed behind him. He sat down and helped me situate myself to be comfortable. I leaned against his body and felt totally and utterly happy.

“I know you don’t feel well today, so no sex. This isn’t just about sex for me,” he said to me.

“No?”

“Well, not now at least. I just want to lay here and enjoy being with you. Just relax.” He ran his fingertips up and down my arms.

I relished in and craved his touch. I leaned back, rested my head upon his shoulder, and closed my eyes.

“I needed this. It’s so relaxing,” I said to him in a hushed tone.

“I am going to pamper you today and always, Sophia,” he whispered next to my ear.

I mumbled, I was so relaxed I could barely speak. He continued to touch my skin softly and trickle water all over my body.

“I haven’t been this happy in forever,” Kayden said to me.

“You make me feel special—different—Kayden.”

“You are. I’ve never known anyone like you. You make me look forward to each day and I want you to feel the same,” he said to me.

“I thought you didn’t want another relationship?”

“I thought I was through with love, but that was before I met you. I can’t imagine you not being in my life. I want you to be only mine,” he told me while stroking my cheek.

“I’m glad I could open your heart again,” I said to him as I stroked his legs.

I rested my head against his body and let the tranquility overcome me. He caressed and washed my entire body with a peach scented soap. My senses were overwhelmed.

“Are you hungry?”

“A little bit. My stomach feels almost normal again,” I replied while rubbing a hand over my belly.

“I’m going to make us something to eat. I want you to rest in bed while I cook,” he said to me before kissing the back of my head.

Kayden helped me out of the bath and grabbed a towel. He slowly and methodically dried my body off, and my heart melted. He was so kind and gentle. After he was done, I walked back into the bedroom and crawled in bed. Kayden entered the room right after me and tucked me in like my father used to do when I was a kid.
