Three years without him, without this Oh, God and Goddess As Derek had pointed out, Mikhael just gave her the shary, hurried, in- the-outdoor-cold sex with Derek was bliss, to feel that connection after so long Clutching his shoulders harder, shenoises into his neck as he worked his hips, his buttocks flexing under her calves as she clah her lower belly, through her tight nipples and aching breasts, rubbing against his shirt She inhaled him, aftershave, soap and Derek’s own male scent, and wanted to be here in this moment forever
"Derek…"
"Go on over, baby," he whispered into her ear "I’ht behind you I want to feel you clamp down on me Fuck, you’re heaven"
