“Courtney, I…I’ve never felt this way before,” I whispered. “God, I hope that I didn’t ruin things for you because I couldn’t wait. I wanted to be inside you so bad. I’m so sorry—”

This time, she moved her fingers to my lips to stop me from talking. “Reed, that was so incredible. Even if I tried to tell you every day for the rest of our lives, you will never know how unbelievable that was for me. It couldn’t have been any more perfect.”

I let out the breath I’d been holding and pulled her to me. “I love you, Courtney. God, I love you so much.”

“I love you, too, Reed, so very much.”

I wasn’t sure how long we stood there before she let out a giggle.

“What’s so funny?” I asked.

She pulled back and made an adorable face, and it just about dropped me to my knees.

“I know what I want to do next.”

“Um…” I looked down at my dick, and when it jumped, I felt pretty confident that I could make love to her again very soon. “I think he’s ready!” I said.

She busted out laughing. “Oh, believe me, I want to do that again, too, but next, I want to go horseback riding. I’ve always wanted to ride during a full moon.”

I looked at her and smiled. There wasn’t anything I wouldn’t do for this girl. I let out a small laugh and said, “If my baby wants to go horseback riding in the middle of the damn night, then we’ll go horseback riding in the middle of the damn night.”

She jumped up and down and hugged herself. It took everything I had not to push her against the wall and make love to her again. I reached around and turned off the water, and then I grabbed two towels. I wrapped her up in one towel, and then I quickly wrapped the other one around my waist. We stepped out of the giant walk-in shower, and I turned her around slowly before I began drying her off. I watched as she stood there with her eyes closed.

Why do I get the feeling that Mitch never treated her with the adoration she deserves? I was going to make her feel this way every day for the rest of my life.

As I moved the towel up and down each leg, I looked up to see her touching her breasts.

Holy shit.

I put my hand on the inside of her leg, and I slowly moved it up. She let out a soft moan and pinched one of her nipples.

Fuck the horseback riding. I stood up, scooped her up, and took her out to the bedroom where I gently laid her down on the bed. I quickly dried off in record time, and then I moved myself over her body.

“Reed…oh God…what are you doing to me?” she said.

I began kissing her nipples as I moved my hand down her body. The second I slipped two fingers in, we both let out a moan.

“Damn, Court, you’re so wet, baby.” I moved my lips up her chest and along her neck.

“Please…oh God…Reed, please make love to me again.”

That was all I needed. I began teasing her entrance with my tip, and she thrashed her head back and forth on the pillow. I quickly rose up and looked her body up and down. I couldn’t believe this was happening.

“Reed…you’re killing me. Please stop teasing me,” she begged.

I continued to barely slip my dick in and out.

“Reed! Damn it! Just fuck me already!” she yelled out.

Motherfucker. I’ve died and gone to heaven.

I didn’t want to hurt her, but her telling me to fuck her pushed me over the edge, and I slammed my dick inside her. After a few pumps, she began calling out my name, and I tried to hold off for as long as I could, but she was driving me insane.

“Yes! Reed…harder! Faster! Reed…yes, I’m coming,” she began crying out.

Holy shit. “Courtney…I’m gonna come.” I began kissing her, capturing her screams of pleasure.

When I felt like I’d finally finished pouring myself into her, I collapsed next to her. We both lay there for a few minutes, attempting to catch our breaths.

“That…was…amazing. Let’s…do that…again,” Courtney said in between breaths of air.

I let out a laugh and rolled over to her. “As much as I’d love to do that again, I don’t think it’s humanly possible for me to go again so soon. At least give me an hour.”

She turned her head and looked at me as she laughed. “I’ve never felt so amazing. Thank you.” She rolled over to face me, and then she ran her hand through my hair.

“So, not too bad for a tree-loving, cultivating-plant pussy, huh?” I said with a wink.

She busted out laughing and pushed me away from her as she said, “No, not too bad at all.”

She placed her hand on the side of my face, and I leaned my head into her hand.

“Thank you, Reed. Thank you for just being you. Thank you for loving me, and thank you for not giving up on me.”

I pulled her hand away and gently kissed her. “You want to ride Tink?”

Her eyes lit up, and she began nodding her head quickly. She jumped up from the bed and headed toward the door. She turned around and put her finger in her mouth as she smiled. “I know something else I want to do.”

I sat up and smiled as I looked her naked body up and down. “Oh yeah? What is it?”

She shook her head and said, “Just bring a blanket with us on the ride. I’ll meet you in the kitchen in ten minutes. I need to go get dressed.” She slowly backed out of the room and made her way downstairs.

I fell back on the bed and pulled a pillow over my head as I kicked my feet around in excitement. I was acting like a high school girl with how happy I was, but I didn’t care. I hopped out of bed and began getting dressed for our late-night ride.

I took one look at my dick before I slid my jeans up. “Don’t fail me now. I need you to function at your best performance. We haven’t had sex in so long, buddy. You’ve got some making up to do.”

I shook my head, surprised I’d lasted as long as I had in the shower. Just the idea alone of making love to Courtney should have made me come in a minute or less. There was also the fact that I hadn’t slept with Anna for months before we broke up. Ever since I’d gotten the tattoo on my chest, I just couldn’t bring myself to have sex with her while I was so in love with Courtney.

I thought back to when Courtney and I had figured out that Layton and Whitley had set us both up to stay at the house at the same time. I was going to give Layton a big ole kiss when I saw him tomorrow—or later today actually. I looked at the clock and quickly put on my boots before heading downstairs.
