Chapter 153: Yours

Eli chuckled again at the look on her face. "Well, if you want me to—"
"No," Harper said hastily, even though his voice didn’t hold a trace of judgment. "A girl can figure out how to do it. I’ve handled challenges much harder than this before, haven’t I?"
No pun intended.
She took a deep breath and plucked the rubber out of the packet. It was actually slightly embarrassing that she had never held a condom in her hand until now ... but at the same time, she was glad that her first experience got to be on such a special occasion. On a special day, with a special person, which made it much more than just another challenge or "lesson".
Her eyes darted up, studying the special person as her hand moved to his groin. His body was a sculpted work of art, and she loved it when it was fully bared to her like this, without a single shred of fabric obstructing her view.

Hot kisses engulfed her. As much as she could tell that he was still holding back, the heat was unmistakable when he swept deep into her mouth, breathing her in as if she was the very air of his life. His hand roamed all over her body, reigniting the sparks over every inch in its wake, and she moaned into his mouth when he pressed himself snug against her, nestled right at the place aching and waiting for him.
