She recalled the lesson, stroking him the way he’d shown her, loving the way his cheeks flushed and his breathing became unsteady.
After only a few moments, Maverick released her nipple with a pop, reaching down to grasp her wrist and pull her hand away from his dick.
She fought him until he shook his head. “I’m already too close,” he warned her. “This isn’t going to last nearly long enough.”
Ella stopped resisting. She wanted him too badly to risk him coming too soon.
Maverick kissed her, his gaze so filled with admiration and love, Ella felt tears spring to her eyes. No one had ever made her feel so adored, so cherished, so needed.
“I love you, Firefly,” he murmured against her lips.
She would never—ever—get tired of hearing those words from him. “Love you too,” she said, breathlessly as his lips moved along her cheek and the side of her neck.
When he lifted his head, piercing her with his gaze, she read the question there before he ever spoke a word.
“I’m sure,” she reassured him. “I’ve never wanted anything more than this. Than you.”
He nodded once, then picked up the condom, sliding it on.
She expected him to come over her then, so she jerked when it was his hand that touched her pussy instead.
“Maverick,” she started.
“I’m going to come quick, El,” he repeated. “Too quick for you. So…” He let his fingers finish his sentence, stroking her clit in that way that never failed to take her from zero to sixty in seconds. Her eyes closed as she gasped for breath.
Neither one of them were good at holding back or drawing out their pleasure, the sensations too new, too strong. Ella felt her orgasm building rapidly, especially when Maverick slipped one, then two fingers deep inside her.
“Ahhh,” she cried out, her hips gyrating wildly.
“Come for me,” Maverick urged her. “Come for me, Ella, and then, I’m going to make you mine.”
Ella wasn’t sure if she heard or imagined that he’d whispered the word “forever” at the end of his request. Not that it mattered. In that moment, she knew beyond a shadow of a doubt shewould behis forever. Regardless of what their futures held.
She called out his name, her hands white-knuckling the sheet beneath her as the orgasm struck hard and fast.
Maverick’s patience must have been at an end, because Ella hadn’t even begun to come down before he climbed over her body, his knees on the bed between her outstretched legs. He guided his cock to her opening, pushing inside with one steady, powerful glide.
Ella felt a slight stinging pain, but it wasn’t unbearable.
Once he was seated to the hilt, Maverick lifted his head and opened his own eyes, painful bliss etched in the lines on his face.
“Jesus,” he groaned.
“So good,” she whispered.
He nodded, taking her words as permission to continue. Slipping out, he returned again, harder this time. His pace and force grew, reigniting the orgasm she’d just had that hadn’t fully dispersed.
Maverick got there just as fast, and after a dozen or so thrusts, he cried out her name as he came.
Ella trembled with the aftershocks of her own climax, her arms wrapped tightly around Maverick’s shoulders. She never wanted to let go. Of this moment. Of him.
Once his climax subsided, Maverick pushed his weight off her, climbing out of the bed. She was too blissed out, too boneless to do more than simply watch as he walked to the bathroom. She heard the water run, then he returned with a washcloth, his expression too serious for the wonder of what they’d just shared.
“There was some blood on the condom,” he said, gently pulling her thighs apart so he could press the warm wet cloth to her pussy.
“It didn’t hurt,” she said, hoping to assure him.
“I saw you wince.”
