“Small,” I muttered.
“Perfect.” He reached around and unfastened the hooks. I shrugged until it fell away, leaving my breasts bare. He kissed each one and then looked up into my eyes. “Tara, I can’t wait.”
“I don’t want to wait.” I unfastened my pants, and he pulled them off my body. He lifted me under my arms until I was farther back on the bed, and spread my legs open.

Halo
I looked down at her glistening pussy while I tore the clothes from my body. I didn’t care if they remained in one piece, and I sure as hell didn’t care where they landed. Racing over to my bag, I grabbed a condom, tearing it open with my teeth. We had the rest of the day, the night, and as much time after that as we wanted, to take things slow. I’d linger over every inch of her body—later. Now, I had to be inside of her.
“Tara,” I said again, needing her eyes to meet mine.
She reached for my cock; I smiled and moved her hand away. “Later, sweetheart.” I positioned myself at her entrance and eased inside. “Are you ready for me, baby?”
“Yes,” she mewled.
My eyes rolled back in my head when I felt how tight, wet, and warm she was. I stopped moving and looked into her deep blue eyes. I wanted to remember everything about this moment. I held myself above her with one arm and leaned down to kiss her. I didn’t close my eyes, and neither did she. I loved that.
“God, you are so tight, so hot around me,” I groaned as I began moving slowly at first, but soon couldn’t hold back. I flipped Tara over, wrapped my arm around her waist, and pounded into her.
“Knox,” she cried out as her pussy clenched around me. I pulled out and rolled to my back. “I want to watch you make yourself come on me.”
Tara didn’t hesitate. She straddled me, moving slowly at first but, like me, became frenzied when she couldn’t hold back any longer. I clasped both her hands with mine and looked into her eyes. “Now, Tara,” I groaned as I emptied myself into her.
She collapsed on my chest, both of us covered in a sheen of sweat, trying to catch our breath. I cupped her cheek with my hand, angled my neck, and captured her mouth with mine. Her touch was soft as she stroked my face with her fingertips.
“Look at me. Let me see those beautiful eyes. That gorgeous smile.”
Tara shifted so she was tucked against my side. I turned to face her.
“You are amazing.”
Her cheeks flushed, and I knew inside she wanted to deny it but knew I wouldn’t let her.
“Don’t move,” I said, getting up to dispose of the condom and to make sure I had a couple more handy. When I returned, Tara was lying on her back, staring at the ceiling with a faraway look in her eyes. “Everything okay?”
She shook her head. “Everything is wonderful.”
“You scared me for a second.”
She rolled her eyes and her body toward me at the same time. “As if you have any doubt of your prowess.”
I raised my eyebrows. “Prowess, eh?”
“You’re a fantastic lover, Knox.”
There was a time that those words would’ve brought me nothing but pride and pleasure. Not anymore. I wanted so much more than for her to think of me as “a lover.” From this day on, I wanted to be her only lover. What would her reaction be if I admitted to it? Would she scoff? Act as though what had just happened between us didn’t matter?
I’d confessed to thinking that once Tara and I got to know one another better, she’d realize she was way out of my league.
“Whatever you’re thinking, you’re wrong.” She put one arm around my waist and rested her chin on my chest.
“Yeah? What if I was thinking that you were also a fantastic lover?”
“I’d say you were being generous.”
