The plane ride back home is hell, but thankfully once we board, Evie is able to change out of that damn dress and into the sweats and boots I bought her. I don’t know what I would have done if I had to see all that skin on display the whole time.
“I can’t believe you chartered a plane to come and get me,” she says, leaning into my side.
I kiss the top of her head and think that there’s not much I wouldn’t have done to get her back. In fact, I can’t think of a single thing that could have kept me from her.
“Anything for you, little duck.”
“I’m just gonna drop y’all at the big house then head home,” Wilder calls out as he looks into the rearview mirror of the SUV.
I nod as he turns down the circular driveway in front of my place. As soon as we got off the plane, we headed for home, and now it’s nearly dawn.
“Are you tired?” Evie’s eyes meet mine and she shakes her head. “Yeah, me either.”
Her smile matches mine as the SUV comes to a stop, and we jump out. I grab our stuff and tell Wilder goodbye then hurry to carry Evie through the snow. It’s nearly as high as my knees as I tromp up the porch and unlock the door. Thankfully, Natalie came by earlier and started a fire for us so it’s toasty warm inside.
“We’re home,” I say, carrying Evie into the living room and in front of the fireplace.
“Home,” she repeats, and I love the way it sounds on her lips. She threads her fingers through my hair, and I see the look in her eyes.
“Before I carry you into that bedroom and make love to you for the first time, I want you to know something.” She sobers, and her smile falters just a little, and I hate it. “I love you, Evie.” I blurt out the words because I can’t stand to see the fear in her eyes even for half a second. I want her to know where we stand. So much of her life, she’s been unsure of what is next, and I want to give her that stability. “From the moment I saw you, and then held you in my arms, I knew you were the one. I wasn’t planning on anyone coming into my life, but I must have known something deep down because all that I have and all that I’ve done has been for this.”
“Connor, I—”
“No, don’t say it back just because I’m saying it,” I cut her off and keep going. “It’s okay if it takes you time, but I wanted you to know how I felt, and if you want to slow down, we can. We can take all the time in the world because we have our whole lives together.”
“Our whole lives?” Her brows rise, and her mouth forms a perfect O.
“I plan on marrying you the first second I can, and then we’re going to spend forever making you fall in love with me.”
“But Connor—”
“But nothing. I know it’s fast, but I’ve never been more certain in my life. Give me a chance to show you how I feel and what I want, little duck. Let me spoil you and give you the family that you deserve. Let me be the perfect man for you and right all the wrongs that have been done to you in your life.”
“Connor.” She puts her hand over my mouth, silencing me. “I love you.” Her voice is a little frustrated, and I smile behind her hand at how damn good that sounds coming from her. She smiles too and slowly lowers her hand. “I love you.” She shrugs like it’s obvious, and I pull her against me.
“You’re mine now forever,” I tell her before I lean in and kiss her full lips.
“Take me to bed,” she whispers against my mouth.
“I thought you weren’t tired,” I tease as I carry her to our bedroom.
“Not the least bit sleepy.” Her fingers play with the collar of my shirt, and a hot shiver goes down my back.
When my shins hit the mattress, I climb on it and place Evie in the middle. I fall on top of her, my big body blanketing hers. My hands go up her sweatshirt, and I feel the warmth of her skin, reminding myself that she’s here and she’s real.
“Every minute without you felt like I was dying.” My mouth goes to her stomach as I push the sweatshirt off of her, and her bare breasts are exposed. I kiss my way up until I can rub my face against them and suck her nipples.
“Connor, don't stop.” Evie pushes at her bottoms, and I strip them off with one hand while the other caresses her curves.
“The world would have to quit spinning for that to happen.” My eyes meet hers, then our mouths connect.
This kiss is hungry and fierce as she yanks at my clothes like they’ve offended her. I’m all too eager to be skin on skin, so when the last stitch of clothing between us is gone, I just stare down at her.
“Look how beautiful you are.” I shake my head. “My chest hurts because I love you so much.”
“I love you too,” she moans, and I kiss over her hips and between her legs.
I push her knees apart and don’t hesitate as I lick straight up her center and cover her pussy with my mouth. I moan at her sweet taste and swear that I’ll never be without it again. No matter what happens in life, I’ll always be by her side and on my knees ready to love her.
“So fucking good,” I groan, rubbing my nose and chin in her juicy little pussy.
“I’ve missed you so much,” she whines as she wiggles her hips against my mouth.
Draping my arm over top of her to hold her in place, I keep on licking while she squirms. “Show me how much you missed me, little duck. Show me how much you love me and cum on my face.” When I thrust two fingers inside of her, that’s all it takes to send her over the edge.
Evie claws at the sheets and screams my name as she comes apart, and I’m there to drink it down. Her tight sheath squeezes me as I lick her pussy clean, and I groan at how fucking good she tastes.
When I pull my fingers free, I suck on them as I sit up and kneel between her legs. My hard cock is dripping with cum already, and I smear it over her pussy lips. She’s already soaking wet from her desire and release, but I’m careful when I put the thick head of my dick at her entrance.
“Just let me get you through this, and I promise I’ll make it good for you.” I grip the base of my cock to keep from cumming too soon. When she nods, I push in a little and her body automatically protests my size. “Breathe, little duck, and let me in.”
“It’s too big.” Her hips rock up like she wants to take more but can’t.
“If all you can take is the tip, then that’s all I’ll give you. You can ride the head of my cock until the end of time, but just breathe, baby. We were made to fit.”
She nods as she spreads her legs a little wider, and I gently rub her clit. Slowly but surely, she softens and takes a little more of me with each breath. I can feel the pinch of her virginity as I slide a little deeper and stop. Leaning forward, I pin her down with my body and kiss her lips softly, thrusting the rest of the way inside.
Evie calls out, and it breaks my heart that I have to do this to her, but I know eventually it will be worth it. I kiss her cheeks and neck and tell her how beautiful she is and how much I love her. How we’re going to be together forever and that this only happens the first time.
Eventually, she begins to listen to the words and ignores the bite of pain. And after a little longer, she’s moving under me and asking me to keep going.
My thrusts are shallow at first and tentative to make sure she’s okay. But once she nods and I get a full slide in her pussy, I nearly pass out at how fucking good she feels.
“So goddamn wet,” I groan, gliding in and out of her like hot butter, and she coats my cock. “Perfect, Evie. I knew you’d be perfect.”
“It’s so deep,” she gasps, clenching around me, and I feel her legs go around my waist. “More.”
Her eyes are closed, and her back is arched like she’s fighting her climax. Oh hell no, she won’t hold back on me now.
“Give it to me,” I grunt, and her eyes fly open. “Don’t deny me what I want, Evie. I need you to cum on my cock.”
“It’s too much. I feel like I’m going to break.”
“Never, little duck.” I pull her against me and rub her pussy on the base of my shaft so it grinds against her clit.
She cries out when I hit that perfect spot, and I feel her clamp down around me. That’s all it takes to send her over the edge, and just as she lets go, so do I.
We cling to each other as we find our ending together and are surrounded in love. Next to meeting her, it’s the greatest moment of my life, and I savor it as I hold her close.
“I don’t think I can move,” she giggles, and I smile against her neck.
“Good, because I’m not letting you.” I kiss her there and then along her jaw. “And we’re going to do that again.”
“Right now?” Her eyes widen as I thrust into her, still hard and ready.
“I’ve got lost time to make up for.”
“Three days’ worth of missed lovemaking?” She smiles and closes her eyes.
“Three days?” I shake my head. “I’m catching up on a lifetime without you, little duck.”
When I kiss her, she melts under me, and we make love over and over. It’s perfect and so much more than I could have imagined, and it’s the beginning of a beautiful forever.
