He couldn’t wait any longer.
He shoved down the tracksuit pants, kicking them to the end of the bed with his feet. Chloe’s hands ran down his body, her panting becoming louder as she gazed on his erection.
“We don’t have to go any further, if you don’t want to,” he murmured.
“I do want to,” Chloe replied breathlessly. She reached out her hand, tentatively stroking his manhood. Wesley felt its muscles flicker and jump at her touch. As Chloe’s grasp grew tighter, Wesley thought he was going to explode. His scrotum tightened as Chloe shifted herself closer to him, guiding him between her thighs.
“You’re going to have to help me from here,” she murmured. “I’ve never done this before.”
Wesley nodded, trying to pretend he wasn’t exploding with pride—so grateful to be her first, and so honored that she trusted him.
He leaned up on his shoulders, gently pushing himself inside her. She was soaking wet, and Wesley had to take a few calming breaths in order not to just ejaculate there and then. With painstaking slowness, he pushed deeper, feeling her muscles tighten around him.
“Tell me if it hurts, and I’ll stop,” he breathed.
Chloe shook her head, “No stopping.” Kissing him deeply, she widened her legs, urging him on with her hips.
Wesley tried to keep his pace as slow and gentle as possible. His breathing became ragged and sharp, his muscles flexing and tightening at the effort of maintaining control.
“More,” panted Chloe, “please.”
He pushed into her more deeply, worried that he was hurting her, but instead she flexed her hips, meeting him—wanting him to enter her.
“You’re not going to hurt me—I promise.”
Wesley thrust once, then again. When no cry of pain came, and only soft moans of pleasure, he continued to move inside her, deeper and deeper, grunting in pleasure as the friction sent electricity buzzing through his body. He pulled her down further on the bed, lifting her hips, pushing himself deeper inside. He couldn’t hold back any longer. He growled, knowing he was about to come. He moved faster, Chloe’s pants becoming louder until she cried out in pleasure, her body shivering, her nails scraping down his arms. He exploded inside her, feeling her gently sucking everything he had to give. His whole body jerked, shaking from the release.
Wesley collapsed, laying down beside Chloe and drawing her against his chest. He had never known such peace or contentment.
He heard Chloe emit and equally contented sigh.
“Can we do that again, please?” She asked.
He nodded, “For the rest of our lives.
Epilogue
Chloe, Tanner, Heather, Derek and Audrey stood in the crowd at the Super Bowl, screaming and applauding the Chicago Bears win against the New York Giants. Alongside them were Chloe’s friends, Mia and Harper, cheering just as loudly as Chloe’s family. Next to them stood O’Neill and his wife, Sophia. The couple had become important to Chloe—once O’Neill accepted the fact that Wesley would have a girlfriend during the season—no if, ands or buts. Chloe had a lot to thank Sophia for in that regard.
Chloe broke away from her family and friends, running onto the field. As soon as he saw her, Wesley motioned to his teammates to put him down—he was being lifted up in the air by the linebackers, who were feeling the weight of Wesley’s mass of muscle.
He grasped her tightly, pulling her toward him and kissing her deeply, to the amusement of all the fans and team-mates that were chanting his name.
“I love you, Chloe Reed.”
“I love you too, Wesley Reed,” she laughed in response. They had been married the week before and were still getting used to sharing the same surname.
Chloe couldn’t believe how quickly her life had changed in the past month. She was deliriously happy with Wesley—a sense that her life had always meant to be this way, that he was always supposed to be by her side, no matter what.
They lived in Wesley’s Chicago penthouse, for now, but were debating moving into the same building as Derek and Audrey. Beyond that, they had no major plans. Chloe knew that whatever happened, as long as they were together, life would just be one long, wonderful adventure that the two of them would get to experience together.
Tanner and Heather joined them on the field. Wesley broke away to hug them both. There were tears in her dad’s eyes. Despite Wesley’s fears, Tanner had welcomed Wesley as a son-in-law. He’d claimed he’d always known that Chloe was Wesley’s mate—but Chloe and Heather had a sneaky suspicion that wasn’t quite true. He had given a beautiful speech at the wedding, and a particular part had stood out to Chloe:
“My daughter doesn’t need protecting—she’s as ferocious as a bear. But I’m glad that Wesley’s going to be with her through all the ups and downs of life, and it gladdens my heart that I’ll always know she’s being properly looked after—that there’s no more honorable or worthy man than Wesley.”
She had clasped Wesley’s hand under the table when her father had said that, giving it a tight squeeze. Neither her father, nor Heather, would ever know what happened that terrible night. She never wanted to tell them. Both Todd and Eli received nothing but a slap on the wrist. Todd got six months’ probation for attempted assault. It wasn’t enough—for either of them. But Wesley had apparently paid a visit to both of them—something about a pet grizzly—and scared the bejeezus out of them both.
Mia and Harper had been horrified when they found out. Mia had instantly dumped Torres, just for associating with Todd—but that hadn’t held her back for long. Wesley had introduced her to Jamie Harrison, the right guard on the team. Mia had been delighted to date him—and to finally get the double dates she’d always wanted.
“I have something to tell my wife,” Wesley growled in her ear, pulling her closer and squeezing her around the waist.
“Then don’t be distracting,” Chloe scolded with a laugh. “What is it?”
“Our honeymoon.”
“What about a honeymoon—are we even having one?” She questioned. They hadn’t actually ever talked about a honeymoon amidst all the jittery nerves and hoopla of the Super Bowl preparation. It seemed enough of a gift just to be getting married.
“How does a week in the Maldives sound, followed by a tour of Paris, Rome, and then Iceland?”
“What?” Chloe asked, trying to work out if he was joking or not.
“I’ve booked the tickets, so I hope it sounds good?” Wesley asked, looking sheepish.
“Good? That sounds incredible,” Chloe replied in awe.
“Our lives start now,” he murmured. “We’ve got catching up to do. I missed out on too many years of you, and I want to take advantage of every second we’ve got together.”
“I’m fine with that,” Chloe grinned, thinking what an understatement ‘fine’ was. She clasped the silver bear hanging against her collarbone, quietly thanking God for having her ‘rock’ back in her life.
The next moment she was laughing into Wesley’s chest, as she heard O’Neill in hysterics at the news that Wesley would soon be leaving for an extended honeymoon.
