With a loud groan, he pumped into me in quick succession while the muscles all along his body contracted. Talk about beautiful when he came. Kisses had swollen his lips into a glistening flushed oval, and the tender way he looked at me reached inside my soul with fluttering wings. He collapsed on top of me and wrapped his arms around my back to bring my body even closer to his.
"Fuck, Hadley," he breathed into my neck. "Fuck."
"I know." I gazed at the ceiling and imagined the stars on the other side that would soon pinprick a velvet sky on a spring night, and held to Kason with both my legs and heart. I could get so used to this, to being with him every day. To loving him. It felt so natural, so real, that a part of myself feared it. That raw part of my heart that remembered all too well what it was like to love. And lose all at once. That was an impossible part to let go, especially when it hung on with painful, jagged teeth.
