He groans into my mouth. I shift until I’m sliding over into his lap. I’m now straddling him. My panties are pressed against him. I gasp when his cock presses into me.
He nips at my bottom lip. My fingers dig into his shirt, needing something to hold on to. My whole body aches with need. His mouth travels down my neck, kissing and sucking. I drop my head back and roll my hips, needing the friction.
I feel his hands slip under my dress, going to my ass. He rocks me more against him. Some of my shyness fades away as he encourages me to take what I need. I move faster, my body wanting what he’s offering.
“Lennon.” I moan his name.
“I’ve got you,” he says against my neck. “Let go.” I cry out his name as pleasure like I’ve never felt before courses through my body. I hear him groan before his hands on me tighten. I drop my head to his neck as the pleasure begins to subside.
I turn my head, kissing his neck. That was incredible. I close my eyes, not wanting to move. He runs his hands up and down my back. I’ve never felt more relaxed in my life. I smile against his skin and let sleep take me.

“Lennon?” I yawn, feeling someone pick me up.
“Going to put you to bed.” I rest my head on his shoulder.
“With you?” I slip my hand up his chest to wrap more around him.
“If that is what you want.” I nod as he takes the stairs up to his bedroom. He sits me down on his bed.
“Unless you want me to go home. I’m sorry I passed out.”
“I don’t want you to go anywhere.” He tucks my hair behind my ear. This man is so freaking sweet. I’m starting to wonder if he is real. “Let me get you a shirt.” He comes back a moment later, handing me a shirt before he disappears into the bathroom.
I pull my dress off quickly before crawling under the covers. He comes out a moment later, flipping the light off. I feel the bed dip. I debate if I should move closer to him, but it’s not long before Lennon does it for me, grabbing me and pulling me into him. I laugh as he wraps himself around me.
He buries his face in my hair. “How do you always smell like strawberries?”
“Do I?”
“Yes.” He kisses my neck. I relax more into him.
“Lennon?”
“Yeah?” I roll over, wanting to face him even if I can’t really see him.
“What’s happening here?”
“We’re getting to know each other.” His thumb slides down my jaw.
“Okay, I’m just really new to all this. My parents really sheltered me. I know I’m twenty-one, but these past six months are the first time I’ve truly gotten to see some of the world on my own.”
“I get that.”
“I’m just saying that…” I trail off.
“You can say anything you want to me, baby.”
I smile, liking him calling me that. It makes me feel sexy. “Be careful with my heart.”
He presses his mouth against mine. “I promise you everything I do will always be to protect you.”
“You can’t say that. What if we get closer and we aren't compatible?”
“That will be on your end, not mine. I already know we’re going to get married and do the whole babies and anything else you want.”
My heart turns over in my chest. I want to believe that so badly.
“And a kitten,” I toss out there, knowing I should probably tell him that I’m not sure I can even have kids. But I decide that I don’t want to ruin this moment. “How can you be so sure?”
“I just know. You’re different to me. Do you feel it?”
I nod, closing my eyes. “I feel it.” I’ve never been drawn to anyone like I have him. From the moment I saw him there has been this connection between us.
“Sleep.” He tucks me into him, and I do exactly that. I close my eyes, allowing myself to enjoy this new experience. Hope blooms in my chest that this is the beginning of me checking off the last thing on my bucket list. Within moments I’m fast asleep in his arms.

Lennon
I can’t pull my eyes away from her. She sleeps peacefully. Her long eyelashes rest against her cheeks. It's hard for me to believe that she’s here. That last night she was in my arms as she came for me, my name on her lips.
The wait has been worth every second. The more I get to know her, the more I want her. I don’t even know how that’s possible as she’s all I’ve wanted for a long time. She’d stolen my heart all those years ago. I was just too young to know it.
She has no idea how she has me wrapped around her little finger. That there isn't anything I wouldn't do for her. Her moaning my name as she came in my arms was enough to send me over the edge myself.
