After my shower, I dry off and slip into my boxers before sliding into bed beside Delaney. I bury my face in her hair. She smells of sunshine, something I’ve barely seen any of today.

Delaney rolls over to face me, and in the dim light of the room, I can barely make out her features but her parted lips and hooded eyes are clear.

She palms my cock through my boxers, and then gives it a gentle squeeze.

“Delaney.” I love the sound of her name on my tongue.

She says nothing, stroking my length, her face an inch away from mine. But I’m barely holding on with the sudden deluge of touch.

“You smell so good.” I kiss her, trying to distract myself from her hand and failing when she pushes my boxers down.

She rolls me onto my back, her strokes becoming more forceful.

“Yes,” I hiss.

Dipping her head, she takes me deep in her mouth. It’s warm and wet, and I close my eyes, running my fingers through her hair.

She takes me to the brink before I push her off and onto her back.

“It’s been too long,” she says.

“I love you,” I whisper. “I’m sorry if I’ve been neglecting you. I don’t mean to.”

“Better make it up to me.” Her eyes flash with desire. “I need you to touch me. Please.”

“I never could say no to you.”

Her lips curl into a smile as I cup her breast and run my thumb across her hardened nipple.

“I miss you,” I say.

“I miss you, too.” Those are words she should never have to say again. She’s moved across the world to be with me. She deserves better.

Running my finger under the strap of her nightgown, I tug it down to expose her breast.

“Josh,” she whispers.

Any exhaustion I felt disappears when I’m with her. I take her nipple into my mouth, and her gasp urges me on.

Brushing my hand down her stomach, I let out a moan when I find she’s not wearing any underwear.

“I’ve been waiting.” Her gentle laughter warms my heart.

“I’m sorry to do that to you.” I raise my face to look at her, sliding a finger into her pussy. “I promise I’ll make up for it.”

Her breathy gasps spur me on as I stroke her clit. I can’t look anywhere else but at her face when she closes her eyes, her body rising and falling at my touch. And then there’s that moment when she comes, and a look of complete and utter bliss passes over her face. I fall all over again just watching her.
