The moment Tessa leaped into my arms today, crying over what had just happened to her, all the bad memories of what happened with Neil flooded back. All the nights I held her while she cried, staying awake myself to watch and make sure she was okay, and to ward off my own nightmares, came back. I felt like she was already slipping away from me again— a feeling I never wanted to return.

Now I'm here, with her safe in my arms, making love to her in the most intimate way, and I feel like all is right in the world again.

I pull her closer to me by pressing my hand to the small of her back as I kiss her. This is the quietest I've been during any sexual experience with Tessa, but no words are needed. Our bodies are doing the talking.

Tessa fits perfectly around me and holding her this close to my body while gazing into her eyes with every up and down motion she makes is perfection.

From the moment her eyes met mine and her hands moved to undo my belt buckle, I felt the need she had to express her love to me. Somehow she knew it was exactly what I needed. She knew I had to feel close to her in a way only we share. It was the only way to silence the fear I have of losing her.

As Tessa continues to ride me, I'm overwhelmed by the love I have for this woman. Watching her perfect movements and the pleasure mixed with need— need for me —on her face almost sends me over the edge. I still have no idea what I did to ever deserve this beautiful girl.

I move my hands back to her hips and begin to help her roll her hips faster. As she picks up the pace I hear the sweetest sound escape her lips. Tessa continues to quietly moan as she rides me faster. I almost come right then, but I manage to keep it together for her.

I begin to move my body to meet hers and I whisper Tessa's name at the all consuming pleasure I'm feeling. I know I won't last much longer, so I move my hand under her dress and start to rub my thumb against her. She sucks in a sharp breath, and her eyes meet mine as her mouth moves into a perfect 'O' for me. I watch as Tessa comes for me. She struggles to keep her eyes open while she's overcome with pleasure, but she manages to never break eye contact while she rides out her climax.

Watching her enjoy my body is enough for me to reach my own climax. I release myself and all my love for this perfect woman into the condom, cursing the barrier between us. "Tess..." I whisper as I tuck her hair behind her ear and rest my hand on the back of her neck as I pull her to meet my mouth. Our kiss feels like it lasts an eternity, yet still not long enough as Tessa pulls away from me.

She rests her hand on my cheek, gently moving her thumb back and forth over my skin as she looks deep into my eyes. "I love you," she says before giving me another gentle kiss and pressing her forehead to mine as we both catch our breath.

I'm not ready to let her go yet, so I wrap my arms around her back and bring her close to me as I lean against the back of the couch. We stay like this for a moment and then I help her off me. She sighs as I pull out of her, leaving her empty again. I remove the condom and pull up my boxers and jeans before I get up to throw it away.

When I get back to the couch, I sit down and watch as Tessa pulls her panties and tights back on. After she's done getting dressed, she walks over to the couch and sits down beside me, leaning her head on my shoulder. I wrap my arm around her back and sit holding her for a while.

After several minutes pass, Tessa removes her head from my shoulder and turns to face me. "Hardin, talk to me," she begs as she places her hand on my cheek to force me to turn toward her.

"I love you, Tess," I tell her.

"I know. Tell me that you're okay. Please," she begs.

"I'm okay. Thanks to you. Once again, you dragged me out of the darkness and into the light. I don't deserve you, Tessa."

"Everyone deserves to be loved. Especially you," she says as she runs her fingers through my hair and then presses her hand against the back of my neck and pulls me into a kiss.

After our kiss, I pull Tessa onto my lap, wrapping one arm around her waist and bringing the other so I can twirl her soft, blonde, vanilla scented hair around my finger.

"Tell me what you're thinking, Hardin," Tessa says, finally breaking the silence.

"I'm thinking that this is all I ever need."

"What's all you ever need?"

"You, me, us, our love. I just want to spend forever, with you."
