She smiled before closing her eyes once more and surrendering to the demands of her body. She shuddered, her muscles rippling as she tried to match my rhythm. It was sexy as hell and did funny things to me because it meant she wasn’t just accepting me, she was just as desperate for me as I was for her.
“Harder,” she demanded on a small whimper, her words trembling with need.
I obliged, slamming up into her with a growl before rolling us so she was on her back with me over her, and I started to fuck her in earnest.
Annie arched her back, crying out in ecstasy as we found our pace together once more. I could feel my orgasm building but didn’t want to come yet. Not until Annie did.
When she started shuddering beneath me, the first telltale signs of her approaching orgasm, I slid one hand up to cup her breast. She cried out again, bucking against me as she came hard on a second strangled scream. Her pussy pulsed around me, pushing me straight toward what I knew would be a mind-numbing orgasm.
Sure enough, my own release followed quickly after hers. I groaned out her name, wrapping my arms tightly around her once more as I rode out the pleasure, pumping her full of my hot, sticky cum. It was disappointing knowing that seed could never take root, but I had the feeling we’d have our hands full with the young women new to our home.
We lay together in a heap on the bed once more, panting for breath. Annie’s face was buried in my neck, her breath warm against my skin. The room settled into a soft silence. I stroked her hair gently, the silky strands slipping through my fingers in a mesmerizing rasp.
Outside, the compound was quiet too. Rocket and the others knew not to disturb us unless absolutely necessary. This was our time to heal after everything that had happened.
I kissed her forehead softly, pride swelling in my chest for the incredible woman she had become. Injured and scarred but never broken. She was a survivor, my fierce warrior queen.
“I’m not always gonna be the most demonstrative person, Annie. But I want you to know that I love you.”
She still had her eyes closed, but her lips lifted in a drowsy smile. “I love you too, Dom.”
“You know, I told you once to call me Dom. Everyone else does.”
“Yeah. You did.” She was still smiling, but didn’t open her eyes.
“Well, I think I changed my mind. I like it when you call me Dominic.”
“I can do that.”
I took a breath because admitting this second part wasn’t going to be easy, but it had to be done. “Also, I was wrong.”
She was silent for a long moment, her brows knit together in confusion even though she still didn’t open her eyes. I think I’d finally worn her out. “You’re gonna have to explain that one.” She shrugged. “I mean, you could be referring to anything.”
Took me a second, but I finally realized she’d nailed a put-down spectacularly. “You little brat!” So I tickled her.
Annie squealed, thrashing and laughing in my arms until I finally relented. Her smile was glorious. I remembered the first time I’d seen her in the stupid bikini contest. She’d been beautiful and exotic, but a shell of the woman she was turning into now. She just needed someone to give a shit about her, someone to have her back. That was me.
“Yeah, baby. I was wrong. About Tina being my one true love.”
She gasped, her eyes going wide. “Dominic,” she whispered my name and I could see the hope in her eyes and knew I was making the right decision. Not because it was what she obviously wanted, but because I now knew that, while I might have loved Tina, it was a pale shadow next to what I felt for Annie.
“It’s you, Annie.” I tried to inject as much love and respect and admiration in my words as I could. Because Annie had told me she thought of me as her hero, but the fact was, she was mine. “It will always be you.”
As I watched, Annie’s eyes welled with tears. Two streaked down her temples, but she gave me a watery smile. “It’ll always be you for me too, Dominic.”
“I love you, baby. Be my old lady.”
She laughed and cried at the same time, sliding her hand up to cup my cheek. “I love you too. And I’ll be proud to be your old lady.”
Things weren’t perfect, and I was sure there would be some bumps along the way, but I also knew we were stronger together than we ever were apart. No matter what lay ahead for us, we would conquer it. Together.
