Colby couldn't answer. Lost in the moment, he kissed Avery, his hips beating a steady tattoo against hers. He gasped her name as he climaxed.
Avery felt a glow start deep inside. Each thrust of their hips stoked the heat until it built to an almost unbelievable height. Just as she reached the top, it broke in a wave of pleasure so absolute, she had no description for it. Wave after luscious wave hammered at her from the inside, making her gasp and cry out.
"Colby! Oh, God!" She wanted it to last forever, but it was over soon after it began. Spent and tingling from head to foot, she lay still.
Colby's weight felt comforting on her body. He rolled to the side, taking her with him, as they gasped for breath.
"That's what I've been missing all this time?"
Looking rather pleased, he grinned. "Yup."
"I'm an idiot! We could have been doing that for years! God, that felt great!"
Colby laughed, smoothing her hair out of her face. "I guess we did it right, then."
"There's a wrong way?"
"You'd be surprised. But it's a thousand times better—with someone you love." He kissed her tenderly. "I love you so much, Avery. Thank you for letting me show you."
"Forever and ever," she whispered, kissing him. She wrapped her leg around his, kissing him deeply. "Let's do it again," she mumbled against his lips.
"Yeah, give it a few minutes. Things have to—recirculate. It's a process," he tried to explain without going into great detail. "Be patient a few more minutes."
"What am I supposed to do while you recirculate?" she pouted.
"Lie there, looking beautiful, while I go pee." He really wanted to get a condom. He didn't know if Avery was on any kind of birth control and didn't want to spoil the mood by asking.
When he got back to bed, she went to the bathroom. Colby opened the box of condoms and put one packet under his pillow. By the time Avery came back, he was ready for round two. This time, he let her roll the condom on as part of their foreplay.
"Why didn't we use this the first time?" she demanded, not letting go of him until he explained to her satisfaction.
"You got me too hot, Ave. I didn't want to spoil the moment by leaping from the bed, naked."
"Good point." She stroked him, starting the process anew.
This time was even better. Over her fears now, Avery participated much more energetically. Colby enjoyed the increased level of activity, voicing his appreciation so loudly, he was afraid he'd wake her neighbors. If the neighbors woke, it wouldn't be entirely his fault. Avery screamed as she came, laughing at her own loss of control.
"Does that happen often?" she asked as they lay side by side once more.
"I dunno. I never made a woman scream before."
She smacked his chest. "You're so proud of yourself, you can't stand it."
"A man takes pride in his ability to make his partner scream during sex. Means I did something right."
"You did everything right. Thank you."
"Thank you," he whispered, holding her face. "For letting me be your one and only." He kissed her, pouring his love into it. "I love you, Avery Louise Justice. And one day, whenever you're ready, I want to marry you. Will you?"
"Will I what?" she was too stunned by his proposal to formulate a reply.
"Will you marry me? Sometime—tomorrow," he joked.
"That's a big step, Colby."
"I know. And I'm jumping the gun here. But I want you to know how much you mean to me. This is what I want for us. This is where I see this heading. So will you, Avery Louise Justice, at some unspecified point in time, agree to be my wife. No pressure—well, maybe a little."
"Colby David Thatcher, at some unspecified point in time, on a day much like today, I will marry you. But you're not to call me your fiancée yet."
"How come?"
"Because I've been your girlfriend roughly thirty-six hours. Even if I've known you forever, don't you think that progression is a little fast?"
He laughed, kissing her. "Yes, my soon to be fiancée."
"Soon to be, huh?"
"Yeah, I figure by this time next week, we'll be engaged and by next month we'll be married."
Avery laughed, tossing back her head. "I figure we'll be engaged sometime next year and married six months or so after that."
"Or we could try it—your way. I guess." Colby sighed contentedly.
"In the meantime, do we get to keep having this amazing sex?"
"I guarantee it gets even better."
"Yeah? Prove it."
And he did. It was late when they finished, decidedly risking an irate phone call because of the noise. Fortunately, her neighbors were deaf or gone, because no reprimand came. Colby suggested a quick shower together. Afterward, they cuddled up and went to sleep.
