When we finally pull back we are both out of breath. Her lips are swollen and puffy and it's the most perfect sight I've even seen in my life.
"I've never done this before," she blurts out.
I lean in and give her a soft kiss. Then I kiss the corner of her mouth on both sides. This time it’s gentle and slow. I want to show her that I can be what she needs. That she doesn't have to worry and that I'll take care of her.
"It doesn't matter," I tell her.
She raises her hand to my face, and I turn and place a kiss in her palm.
"Don't break my heart," she says and I hear the plea in her words.
"Never," I reply instantly. Then I kiss her again.
It’s so slow, but I want her to take control of the kiss. To explore what she likes, and to take everything in. When we pull back this time, I see a dreamy look in her eyes. It warms the space in my chest that she owns, and I don’t want this moment to end. The moment of promise and all good things ahead is what I want forever.
A knock on the window lets me know we have arrived.
"We're here," I say, and I slide her off my lap and make sure her dress is covering her before I open the car door and get out. I extend my hand and help her exit the car. Once she’s out, I pull her to my side, wrapping my arms around her. I’m making it clear she belongs to me as we move through the lobby of the building and into the elevator. I slide my key into the elevator slot and hit the button for the penthouse.
I hold her close as we ascend, and when the elevator opens I pull her into my home. When the doors close behind us, a slow smile spreads across my face. Tension I didn't know I'd been holding leaves my body and the moment has finally come.
She's mine now.

“This is your home?” she asks with wide eyes.
I want to tell her that it’s hers now, too, but I don’t think she’s ready to hear that truth bomb. I want the whole pie when it comes to my sunshine, but I have to be careful not to scare her off. Does it make me a terrible man that I’m going to do my best to trap her so she can never leave me? Probably. Do I care? No.
Dove walks over to the floor-to-ceiling window that looks out onto the city. The lights are off in the living room and the glow from outside silhouettes the shape of her body. The sun is setting and bursts of orange and pink splash across her skin. I stare at her while every bone in my body aches for her. I don’t move, because I want this image burned into my brain.
“It’s so beautiful,” she says, staring out as she places her hand on the glass.
“The most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen,” I answer, not taking my eyes off of her.
She looks over her shoulder and back at me, and for a moment time stops and I see it all so clearly. Dove walking down the aisle to me, then her belly round with our child, family vacations, Christmases, birthdays, all of it. It hits me like a train and any other man would turn and run from the power of it all. But not me. Not with my sunshine. Instead of the life scaring me away, it pulls me in closer.
I step forward and as I do, she turns, resting her back against the glass. I walk up and place both my palms against the cool window, caging her in.
“You’re my forever,” I whisper, and she tilts her head back to look at me.
I press my body against hers and she runs her hands up my chest. I lean down and this time when I kiss her it’s not soft and gentle. This time it’s hard and demanding. I need her to know that I mean what I say, and if I have to do that by fucking her right here right now, then that’s what’s going to happen.
My hand comes off the glass and moves down to her ass. With one arm I lift her up and she wraps her legs around my waist. I can feel the heat from her pussy through my slacks and I groan against her lips. She winds her arms around my neck as my other hand grips the back of her neck.
I hold her tight against me as I grind my hard length against her. Her breath catches in her throat and I do it again, rocking her panty-covered pussy against me. My cock is throbbing with demand, but this isn’t going to be quick.
