“Now, you listen to this and listen good, kitten. We will discuss everything you just said later in great detail. For now, you need to hear this. I want you, Zoe. I want you so bad it’s driving me crazy. I can’t hold back anymore. No matter what happened, I was never going to Vegas. I was coming for you. We belong together and we will get through it. I won’t let anything stand in our way any longer. Please say you’ll be mine. Be mine now. Trust me to protect you, to make you feel cared for and cherished.” His final words whispered on my lips, my skin covered in goose bumps. I leaned towards his naked torso, needing the connection with him, to feel everything he was telling me. “Just say one word. Say yes.”

Luke
MY LIPS HOVERED SO CLOSE as I waited for that magic word. She knew where I stood on this. She just needed to let her defences down the tiniest bit and say yes. I would help her break down the rest. Never again would she feel like she wasn’t worthy of anyone’s love. To be honest, if I held on much longer there could be an explosion in my jeans and that certainly would not be cool. Watching her fight her inner demons was heartbreaking. There was so much I needed to find out to be able to help her move past this. Now, however, was not the time for that. Right at that moment, I needed her to step off the cliff with me. To trust me. I would hold her close the whole way down and be right with her to break the fall.
All of sudden, a look of peace swept over Zoe’s face.
“Yes.” Her whisper was enough for me. Slamming my lips onto hers, our hands grabbed all they could, mouths devouring each other. I wanted it all, not just her body. I wanted her heart and soul, too. Tonight was so important, making sure I got this right.
“You know you can’t take that back now, right?” I quickly blurted out, before my lips started down her neck, tasting more of her amazing body. Moaning with pleasure, she replied, “I don’t want to. Help me not to panic. Show me we’re okay.”
“My fucking pleasure! I’m that horny I want you right here on the kitchen bench, but not tonight. Tonight, I am going to show you exactly how special you are to me. You deserve to be treated like a princess. Hang on tight, baby. My bed awaits.” Sliding my hands under her ass, I lifted her swiftly against my hard body, her arms and legs wrapped tightly around me. My mouth claimed her again while I walked down the hallway blind. There was no way I was taking my lips or eyes off her. It’d taken me this long to finally get her in my arms, that I was desperate to get past the kissing and touching. I swore to God, if my sister interrupted this time, she would be disowned.
Feeling my knees hit the side of the bed, I slowly lowered Zoe down to the place she belonged. Breaking our connection, I gazed down at her. Here, on my bed, finally. My only issue was that she looked petrified. It was hard to know if it was nerves or fear
“Kitten, I’m not sure how slow I can take this. I want to savor every single moment, but I have waited so long for this to happen. I know it won’t take much to push me over the edge. You stop me if it’s gets to be too much. I would never want to hurt you, not one little bit.” My thumb slowly stroked her cheek. The tiny purr that resonated from her let me know she was with me, right here in this moment. Finally, she was ready to be with me.
“I know what it’s like to be hurt, Luke. You’re not capable of making me feel anything like that. You make me feel amazing. You make me feel wanted. Don’t change. I need you just the way you are.” Grabbing my shoulders, she pulled me down, showing she didn’t need soft and gentle. She just needed me. Lord knew I needed her too.
Zoe was just as desperate to get naked, her hands grabbing wildly at my jeans trying to get the button undone.
“Woah, little lady. You keep pawing at my cock through my jeans like that, this will be over before it even starts. I need to see what you’ve been hiding and tempting me with under those short little skirts. You take great pleasure in giving me a boner every single day, my little flirt.” A breathy giggle escaped her lips as I started to unbutton her blouse. While my sexual attraction to Zoe was peaking, the little things she did also had my heart skipping beats.
Slowly slipping the shirt over her shoulders, the vision that greeted me was pure perfection, just like the night I laid her out on her bed. Unless the world was ending tonight, nothing would take me away from her this time. Drawn to her, my hands already caressed her breasts through the black lace bra. Fuck, lace turned me on, but black lace was like an addiction. There was no man alive who wouldn’t be brought to his knees by black lace. Every. Damn. Time.
“Time to reveal what you’ve been hiding. Lift your cute ass so I can finally see all of you. Every bit of your sensual body. Slide off that skirt, I need to get my hands and tongue on you.”
Wriggling her little hips, she helped me slide her panties. “Well, stop talking so much and start showing me what you have been promising.” Zoe grinned while I pulled the lace over her foot. A part of me wanted to slip the panties into my pocket for later. Instead, I dropped them to the floor knowing she wouldn’t be needing them again tonight. The only place she would be going besides the bed would be the bathroom and no clothes would be needed in there either.
“I think you may be a little overdressed,” she giggled. “Can I help you with that?” Her confidence was building, as she raised up onto her elbows.
“Don’t. Move. One. More. Inch.” If she touched me, I wouldn’t hold back. My cock was already screaming at me to sink deep inside her. He was sick of waiting. Those poor old blue balls had had enough. Her nipples were hard and peeked through the lace of her bra. I wanted to taste them, to suck them into my mouth.
“Bra off, now. We are about to get very hot and sweaty. One thing I’ve been aching for, is having your skin touch my skin, from your lips to your toes and everything in between.” Standing, just taking in the perfect sight before me, a strange feeling took over. Zoe felt so familiar. There was something about her that made my senses tingle. It was different from the sexual energy that buzzed through my veins. This was a strange and unusual feeling but I didn’t want to place my energy there. I only wanted to focus on the sexy woman who lay waiting for me. Finally, I had her naked and I wasn’t about to waste a single moment.
“Luke,” she whispered, “touch me, please. I need it. I need you.” That was all I needed. No more holding back.
Flicking the buttons on my jeans, I slid them down allowing my cock to spring to attention, relieved to finally be free from the pain of my zipper. The fucker had been trying to break free since Zoe walked in the front door.
She gasped as my jeans fell to the floor. “You always go commando or is this for my benefit?”
“Fuck, Zoe, there is no way I could go commando around you in the office. It takes all my strength to think about smelly gym socks or something just as gross, so I am not pacing the hallway with my dick pointing the direction I’m heading. Here, I don’t have to hide how much he really likes you and wants to get to know you.” My hands slowly slide from her feet, up her well-defined calf muscles. “Lay back, gorgeous, I want you to enjoy every single moment of this. I am going to fuck you until you’re screaming my name. Then I’m going to fuck you again until you no longer know your own name.”
She exhaled heavily, the shiver of her body radiated through my hands as they reached the tops of her thighs. Zoe fell back down allowing me to take full control of her body. The feeling of her giving me her trust was one I didn’t take for granted.
“That’s it, just feel. Let me make you feel good.” I fell on top, pushing her into the mattress, our bodies sizzling upon touch.
“We are meant to be together, Zoe. I feel it in my bones,” I whispered against her ear. “You are mine and I plan on keeping you.”
Zoe
Struggling to speak or think clearly, I slid back down onto Luke’s bed. The electricity buzzing around my body removed all rational thought and strength from me. Every time he touched me, I was taken back to that night, years ago. I knew how amazing this would be, although it felt d
ifferent this time. We’d both grown up. This wasn’t a college fuck for Luke. For me, it wasn’t just trying to bury my pain. That night with Luke became so much more than a night to forget. He would never know it was the beginning of me digging myself out from that place. His touch that night gave me a glimpse of what it might be like to be wanted, what it was like to be touched in a way that left me wanting more. It was the first night I ever felt anything more than just sexual relief. The look in his eyes made me feel like he cared and it wasn’t just about getting his rocks off. Tonight was different. I knew exactly why I was here. Neither of us could deny it anymore.
“Keep breathing, baby, because I am going to try my hardest to take that breath away.” Luke slid down my body, kissing, sucking, licking and biting, all the sensations that sent me wild. I thought I could come from just the attention he gave my breasts, but right then, I was so wired that if he doesn’t stop, I would explode.
Slowly, his face arrived at my secret place.
Soft kisses started to pepper my inner thighs, his hands pushing my legs apart. Pausing, his eyes looked up at me.
Pure lust was all I saw.
Pure want is all I felt through his touch.
The moment was so intense, I let my head fall back, arching my body. My pussy was now wide open, ready for the taking.
“Fuck yeah, baby. Are you offering me a taste?” Luke didn’t wait for the answer. His tongue took its first long swipe, sending my body spasming with pleasure. My legs tried to close, hands grabbing his hair. “That’s it. You taste like pure heaven.” His mouth continued to ravage my pussy as he slid me down the bed until my ass hung off the edge. Luke was kneeling, taking what he wanted, my legs hanging over his shoulders. I couldn’t hold back any longer. My orgasm was building with such intensity, my body was taking on a life of its own. I was fucking Luke’s face with all I had, trying to find that release. It was like he was holding me there, hovering on the edge, ready to fall at any moment. About to let go, I cried for more. I wanted everything. I wanted Luke inside me, giving me everything he had, while I could still hold it together.
Fisting the bed sheets was the only thing I could do to hold me still. The feeling of Luke between my legs was indescribable. So much had happened in my life that I’d forgotten how good Luke was, his tongue slowly swiping up and centring on my clitoris. Teeth biting as his finger slipped in, working in and out to heighten the attention of his mouth. There was no way I could hold back any longer.
“Luke… Luke… I’m going to co…” I couldn’t get the words out quick enough because it was like I’d just served him dessert. He started ravaging me like he’d never been fed, lapping up my orgasm with moans of enjoyment. I felt the high from one of the most intense orgasms that had ever raced through my body. Slowly stroking my body to bring me back to him, I opened my eyes to see the face I’d dreamt about for years. He was here, naked and touching me in a way I had so greatly missed.
“Hey there, kitten. You okay? Are you back with me?” Luke’s voice rumbled in my ear as he started kissing my neck and jaw. His lips claimed mine, the tastes were intense, my arousal mixed with Luke was such a turn-on. I had never tasted myself on any man’s lips. Feeling ashamed of my body I’d never allowed any man to go down on me, before today. It just felt right. I wanted him to have every part of me.
“Mmm, I’m great.” My slow purr brought a smile to his face. “How could I not be after you just made me feel like that.”
“Oh, I intend to make you feel like that a whole lot more tonight and every night from now on. I hope you understand that, sweetheart. This is just the beginning.” His arms were under mine, lifting me further onto the bed. “The sight of you naked is something I will never get tired of.” He softly stroked my face, his kiss softer and less urgent. We had all night.
“Take me, Luke, it’s my turn to make you feel good.”
“Zoe, just laying here with you, I feel like I’ve won the lottery. Nothing else gets better than this.”
Reaching down, I wrapped my hand around his cock which felt like stone. Smooth and hard.
“Are you sure about that?” Hearing him groan told me I was right. He needed relief and I knew just how to give it to him. “Pretty sure I can make it feel better than just by looking at me,” I giggled as a shiver ran through his body. “You feel so good, so smooth, so big. Lucky, I already know it will fit.” The words are out of my mouth before I had time to think. I saw it playing through his head, but his mind struggled to keep any thought. My gentle but firm strokes had him breathing hard.
“You keep that up, little lady, and I’ll be coming all over your stomach like a school boy.” Part of me wanted him coming all over me. Marking me. Making me his. Someone who cared enough to want me, not just for what I could give him.
“Well, do something about it.”
“Is that a challenge? Because you might think you’re in control.” With one swift movement, my hands were held above my head, wrapped in Luke’s hand. His free hand snatched the condom from beside the bed, holding it to his mouth to rip it with his teeth. “I have you right where I want you, little lady. Flushed, hot and wet. Wanting. Ready to be taken to the promised land.” He rolled the condom over his cock, hissing at his own touch. He was ready to let loose.
“I have wanted you for so long and now you’re mine.” Luke pushed into me with one swift thrust and no waiting. The pleasure and pain felt sublime. I wanted him to stay still but my body was already rocking him to get him moving. “Shh, sweetie, let your body get used to me. I don’t want to hurt you. We want to be able to do a lot more of this tonight so just relax. Oh God, you feel amazing, baby.” I released a breath I didn’t realize I’d been holding. His raspy voice had me tingling. I could tell he was struggling to hold back, too.
“Please, Luke. Give it to me.” I was impatient. With his cock planted inside me, my body screamed for him to move. “Fuck me.” My good girl mouth had left me, and in its place was the girl all sexed-up and wanting more.
“Fuck, Zoe.” His hips thrust into me again, this time with no gentleness. We were hungry for this, for each other. Luke realized I wasn’t fragile. I lifted my hips each time to meet his body as it slapped against me. “Everything I dreamed. You are perfect.” Lips clashing and breaths being shared, it felt like Luke was pushing his whole body against mine with more than just the thrust of his cock. He wanted me to take every part of him and it made me climb to my climax quickly, knowing he wanted me so desperately. His cock tensed and I could see it in his eyes that he was close to letting go. “Come for me, baby. Let me feel you all over my cock.” Hearing his voice strained with need was the last sensation to send me over the edge.
“Luke,” I screamed, losing all control. Luke matched it with his own, grunting as he pulsed and pumped every last drop into me. Our bodies were joined, collapsing in exhaustion. “So much better than the dream,” Luke mumbled by ear. I couldn’t help but giggle. So true, Luke. So true.

Luke
LAYING WITH ZOE IN MY ARMS, we were hot, sweaty, and panting. This was not how I pictured today ending. We took a moment of absolute silence, soaking up the sensations circulating our bodies. My hands still roamed her body. I didn’t want to stop touching her, scared that if I took my hands away she would disappear or I’d wake up and it would all be a dream. Her head resting on my chest was the perfect place for her to be, above my heart that beat just for her.
Time seemed irrelevant. I was unsure how long we laid there in the silence. Maybe a minute, maybe ten. Who knew.
“Zoe?” Placing my finger under her chin, I tilted her head so she could see me. “That was amazing, baby. You are amazing. I just want you to know that.” Her sleepy sexed-up smile filled my stomach with butterflies. My feelings were far stronger for Zoe than even I realized. But now everything was just so clear. “Baby, you’re mine. I can’t let you go. You feel like home to me. I feel like this is where I’ve always belonged, with you right beside me. I
can’t explain it. Weirdly enough, you just feel so familiar to me.” Zoe stiffened, eyes immediately breaking from mine. What had I said to upset her? There was a real fear in her eyes. “What is it? There’s something upsetting you. Let me help.”
“You don’t understand, Luke. This was something I should have told you a long time ago. The fear is not me telling you, but what you will think of me. The way you look at me will change and my greatest fear is that you will walk away.” In front of me was no longer the confident woman who’d begged me to fuck her. Instead, I saw a scared little girl. She rolled away from me, putting distance between us. I was having none of that. I sat up and leaned against the headboard and pulled her rigid body toward me.
“Zoe, nothing you say will change my opinion of you. There are things I have done in my life, secrets I have kept, which I’m not proud of either. You are who you are right this minute. Who you were before now doesn’t matter. You can’t change that. You can only change who you are going forward. Please, baby, let me comfort you. I’ve known for a long time there’s something that weighs you down. We need to rid that from your life. Let me be the one to release you.”
Her mind was racing, deciding if she could open up to me.
“It’s not that simple. I’m not sure I’m ready to tell you everything. My life is different to yours. Or, should I say, my life was different to yours. I didn’t grow up like you. Many hours of therapy have helped me understand what my life was like. That it was far from normal. One day hopefully, I can tell you that part. No promises. It’s still difficult to speak about.” I encouraged her to sit in my lap and she followed, now curled up into a ball with her head tucked under my neck. Her arm slowly wrapped around my back as she molded her body around mine. The whole time, her head looked down to our laps. Whatever had happened to Zoe must have made her feel vulnerable and weak. The woman wrapped around me had no confidence or strength. I could feel the fear pulsing in her body.
