Have we made a baby yet?
Is a part of the monster inside me?
I must have fallen asleep because when I wake, I’m spooned up against him in the bed as normal couples would after lovemaking. Legs are entwined, arms are heavy as they possessively hold me close. My back is to Phoenix’s warm chest, and my breasts are held in his hand. I have never felt more comforted and safe in my life.
His heavy breathing as he sleeps seems to blend with mine. Our heartbeats seem to beat as one. Little space separates us as flesh morphs into a single body.
I can picture this as my future.
Always in his arms. Always his to be held.
“You’re beautiful,” Phoenix murmurs against my ear.
I don’t tense or wonder what will come next. I don’t fear this man but feel a level of satisfaction and contentment that I will never be able to put into words. My body hums, and I have never felt more alive or free in my entire life as I lie trapped in his arms.
There is so much I want to say, but I don’t want to break this bubble of euphoria. I want this single moment to last forever.
“Go to sleep, dove,” Phoenix says as he clears the little bit of space that separates us to kiss me on the neck. So gentle. So loving. So… everything I could ever want. “Sleep.”
Chapter
Thirty-One
Ani
The next time I wake, a single ray of sunshine penetrates the fog surrounding the apartment and illuminates the room. I don’t know how it has happened, but somehow, the tiny splinter of light has made me feel warm. When I realize why, I feel a sudden surge of emotion. Phoenix’s broad frame is draped behind me, holding me close as he sleeps.
The larger-than-life figure makes me feel small, and so secure in his embrace that I can hardly move. I feel his every breath, inhale his aroma, and feel like I could drift in and out of sleep for a lifetime. But then his body presses against mine, and I realize it’s impossible to doze off any longer. His skin is soft against my own, and I hold my breath to keep from giving away that I’m awake. I lie there for what feels like an eternity, until finally his breathing slows, and he releases a heavy sigh. I’d stay here forever, in his arms and surrounded by his scent, but eventually I muster up the courage to slide away.
I look up at him, watching him sleep peacefully, and somehow I know that nothing ever felt as right as being in his arms.
“Come back to bed,” he mumbles, not opening his eyes, fooling me in making me believe he was asleep.
“I was going to start breakfast.”
“It can wait. Bed now.”
Knowing that I’ll spend a lifetime following the commands of this man, I crawl into bed and back into his arms.
The feel of Phoenix’s morning erection pushing against my butt is far more delightful than eggs and bacon. His hips start rocking and grinding against me, arousing desire in my soul. I hook my leg over his, giving us a temporary bond.
He slides his callused hand up to cup my breast. His gentle touch leaves me wanting more, so when he pinches my nipple, I murmur encouragement. His grip gets stronger as he moves to my other tit.
Not knowing how much time we have before he retraces his steps, I reach back and slide my hand between my butt and his hardness, rubbing him through his boxer briefs until his hips start thrusting in an unmistakable rhythm. His breath quickens just as I grope for his unencumbered cock, pulling down his boxers to free him from any restraint. Phoenix’s fingers travel down my chest and slip to my bare pussy. I want him to come closer to me, but his actions suggest something different. Instead, he slides his hand around and grabs a cheek of my ass in each hand while pushing his hips forward. His cock is hard against me, and it pulses with anticipation.
He moves his mouth to my ear and whispers, “More?”
I answer yes without a moment’s hesitation, my body tingling with anticipation as he rubs himself against me. His kiss starts gentle and slow, but soon picks up in intensity as our bodies move together in perfect unison.
Slowly, he slides inside me inch by inch until we are both groaning with pleasure thanks to being so deeply connected. He continues gripping my ass as our hips thrust in harmony. The heat between us is almost unbearable as we reach the height of passion together.
He removes one hand from my ass to stroke my hair softly while I moan in pleasure from the intense connection that only comes from being so close to another person during sex. Our breathing becomes labored before finally slowing down as we descend from our high together and collapse into an exhausted embrace.
