Chapter 155: Dreams and Paradise
** Eli **
When he was sure that she felt comfortable, he started moving again, keeping his pace as slow as he could. With her legs still tucked against his hips, he looped his free hand around and stroked her thigh, soothing the pressure from the motion that was still new to her.
To Eli’s utter relief, this incredible girl didn’t even seem to need any soothing. Her body was boneless, easing effortlessly into his every touch and every move, and as he gradually deepened their kiss, delving into her mouth with a soft stroke that mirrored his small advances below, he felt her ... smiling, her lips noticeably curving against his.
"Does this pace work for you?" he asked, pleased to see that she seemed to be approving, though he wanted to make sure.
"Oh yes ..." The hint of a smile was unmistakable even in her voice. "I love it ... It’s just the way I always dreamed it would be."
That comment made Eli’s heart flip a full somersault. "You’ve dreamed of this?"
She went a little stiff for a split second, as if just realizing that she had inadvertently admitted such a fact. Then she let out a sheepish chuckle. "I ... have, quite literally. Every weekend after we ... were done, I always wondered what it’d be like to do it like this. To have you in my arms while you’re ... inside me. To feel all those things you do to me while you’re kissing me, hugging me. To—"
She cut herself short when he suddenly stopped moving with a low hiss.
"S-Sorry, was that too cheesy?" she asked with a start.
