Chapter 173: A Younger Man**
Meanwhile, back in Ebodia, Atlas shared the good news with Ezme that Ezekiel had granted him a vacation.
"We can stay longer in Valcrez if you want. I’m sure you miss your family and your home," Atlas commented, peppering her with kisses. They had just finished making love, but Atlas was far from sated.
"You’re already my home," Ezme replied with a mischievous grin. Her words sent a flutter through Atlas’s heart, a sensation he was becoming increasingly familiar with. Ezme had been very vocal about her feelings, and her declarations were starting to affect him deeply.
He raised his head to look closely at her beautiful face. Ezme was the perfect partner for him. Though they were opposites in many ways, they complemented each other perfectly.
"I love you," she murmured, moving on top of him. Atlas propped himself up against the headboard, letting her take control. He loved it when she took the lead in their lovemaking.
Atlas was aware that Ezme was waiting for him to reciprocate her feelings openly. He knew his feelings for her were growing, but he wanted to be sure before confessing.
He groaned as she slowly descended, enveloping his hard shaft with her wet core. He kissed her chest, massaging one of her mounds, then took her stiff pink nipple into his mouth, suckling it hungrily. Ezme began to move her hips, setting a slow, deliberate pace as she gyrated on him.
"Ezme," he called her name as her movements quickened. She grabbed his head, pulling him into a passionate kiss while she bounced up and down on him, faster and harder. Her inner walls clamped around him, sending waves of pleasure through his body as he neared his climax.
He held back, wanting her to reach her peak first. He nipped at her skin, leaving bite marks and love marks on her pale flesh.
