Fletcher

* * *

The splash of warm water and the feel of it enveloping me made me sigh.

“Lean back,” Ethan murmured, gently pulling my naked body to rest against his chest.

I winced a little, my back and lower body stiff in ways I hadn’t known before, but then Ethan was there, taking all of my weight and gently splashing the bathwater up over my chest and shoulders.

Despite the little bit of pain I felt down there, I was completely relaxed, satiated deep in my bones. I knew it would hurt some, and I wasn’t wrong, but the pain only lasted a moment whereas the pleasure still lingered.

I didn’t know it could be like this between two people. I didn’t know how overwhelming it would be to have him inside me, to feel him move within. He’d been careful and patient, building and building the tension even though I felt the effort of it make his arms tremble.

No one ever cared about me that much before.

No one ever thought about me first.

I was in love with him.

Irrevocably so.

I loved him so fast and so fiercely that I couldn’t be sure the pain I felt wasn’t from that rather than the pain of him penetrating my body.

“Hey.” His gentle voice broke into my thoughts. “What’s going on in that head?”

Ignoring the protest in my body, I turned, climbing into his lap, wrapping my legs around his waist.

Looping my arms around his neck, I pillowed my cheek on his shoulder. When his arms didn’t instantly close around me, I wiggled closer, wanting to be surrounded by him completely.

A small sound vibrated his chest, his arms enclosing me tight.

I sighed dramatically, nosing against his neck.

“Fletch,” Ethan said, gently stroking my back. “If I hurt you, you have to tell me.”

“Please don’t leave me,” I said, the words jumping out before I could stop them.

His body stilled. The hands stroking me stopped.

When he tried to peel me back, I clung, making a desperate sound.

“Why would I leave you?” he asked, cupping the back of my head.

I shrugged. Because everyone leaves. Because you’re too good for me.

“Didn’t I just tell you back there that I’m your only? I’m not going anywhere.”

“Even if you leave, you’ll still be my only,” I whispered.

It was true. He’d won my heart. My loyalty and my trust. In my world, that was almost impossible. The only people to have ever done that before were my brothers and Ivory.

But even this was different… deeper somehow. I let him inside me. Just thinking about him leaving made it hard to breathe.

This time, Ethan peeled me off his chest, refusing to let me cling.

“Look at me,” he demanded, and automatically, I listened. “I will not leave you. You’re mine, but I’m also yours.”

My heart lightened a little. “You’re mine?”

“Oh yes, puppy. All yours.”

I sniffled, diving back into his neck.

“All yours,” he crooned, holding me tight.

Emotions pummeled me as I clung to him. His reassurance kept me anchored. I felt like this day had lasted many weeks, but instead, everything happened all at once.
