Finn’s teeth nipped her earlobe. “Tell me what you need.”
“You,” she whimpered. “All of you. Don’t stop.”
His curse was a reverent thing, nearly a prayer. And then he gave in.
His stroke deepened, his grip tightened as he moved harder, faster, chasing the edge for them both.
His free hand slid down her body, pressing between her thighs, teasing her closer and closer.
Iris turned her face into his neck, overwhelmed by sensation.
Close.
She was so close.
His hips rocked.
His finger circled.
She tensed, shuddered, spiraled.
“Iris,” he gasped, voice breaking as she shattered around him, breathless and undone, finding his bliss with her.
Their breaths tangled, their bodies spent afterward, just leaning into each other, enjoying the tingling aftermath.
She felt boneless, floating, tethered only by the strength of his arms around her as their plans for the future tumbled from between their lips. A house by the beach. Monthly trips out on a boat and to visit her family. A saltwater hot tub for the apartment so Iris didn’t always have to go down to the pool if she wanted to connect with her roots. A guest room for her sisters, mother, or Monty. Vacations to explore all the beautiful oceans of the world together.
He promised her hot pretzels.
He promised her separation between politics and personal life.
He promised her his truth, his heart, his future.
They were still lost in those soft, floating sensations when there was a sudden silence, then an eruption of cheers and applause from the party.
The results, it seemed, were in.
“Congratulations,” Iris said, smile soft, “Mr. Mayor.”
His arm slid around her belly, pulling her closer still.
“You got what you wanted.”
“I did,” he murmured, kissing her throat, then her jaw, the curve of her cheek. “And I’m never letting go of her.”
