Lina and I couldn't keep our hands off of each other.

The past few days have been pretty damn amazing, if you ask me; sneaking in touches and kisses between classes, or when Brooks or Avrey isn't looking, ending the night with mind blowing sex before falling asleep in each other's arms, naked.

Yeah, it's been incredible.

Especially because I get to wake up to Lina, in all her naked glory, atop me. And it's a beautiful sight, if I may say so myself.

I push her short blonde hair behind her ear, tracing her jawline lightly. Her lashes interlaced with one another as she breathes heavily, the soft skin on her back on display, lips slightly parted.

I smile at her sleeping body. She's so damn beautiful. Each passing day, my heart can barely take her beauty and her cute ass personality. So many times within the last week I've almost slipped up and said I love you. The urge to tell her at times is overwhelming.

But I also know Lina has a lot to work on, especially trusting me. And I'll give her the time she needs to prove to her she can trust me and that I'm not going anywhere.

She's stuck with me, whether she likes it or not.

It only takes a few moments from when I started running my thumb across her jaw to notice the change in her breathing, which is much more light than it was a few minutes ago.

She's definitely awake.

I grin, leaning down to press my lips on her temple, which earns an involuntary shiver to ripple through her body. I kiss down her jaw, trying to get to her lips. But she stretches her neck, keeping her mouth away from me.

"Morning breath," she says, voice heavy.

"I don't care." I counter, kissing her sensitive spot under her neck, applying a bit of pressure.

"But I do."

I groan, moving my lips down her neck to her chest. "If you won't let me kiss your lips, I'm just gonna have to find somewhere else to kiss."

Lina groans under me, but is quick to free herself from my grip. She takes the sheet with her, covering her body as she walks towards the bathroom. She stops to look over her shoulder at me, with wanting eyes, before she disappears into the bathroom.

I grin, stretch, then roll off the bed. I hear the sink start to run, so I knock twice.

"Can I come in, Lina?"

A moment passes before she cracks the door, looking at me with one eye.

I smile. "Hi."

She narrows her eyes before opening the door. And I suck in a breath, because Lina is not only fucking beautiful, but has her bare body on display. My eyes soak her in, pausing momentarily at the hickey on her neck, then drifting lower to her chest.

I clear my throat. "I was thinking about a shower," my voice comes out gruff. "Wanna join me?"

Lina leans against the sink, watching me as I open the glass door and turn the nob, letting the water warm up. I take a few steps to the sink, keeping my eyes on her through the mirror as I grab my toothbrush.

As I'm brushing my teeth, Lina moves, first to turn off the shower, then her small body moving behind me. Her hands were cold, but it set my skin on fire as she lifted them under my arms and gripped my shoulders. I felt her hard nipples press against my back as she pressed herself against me, placing a kiss on my exposed skin.

I shiver, trying to finish rinsing my mouth. But Lina was handsy, and one of her hands travelled down my stomach, gripping my dick that was standing at attention.

I practically throw my toothbrush down to grip the edge of the sink.

Lina's soft hand runs down my shaft, flicks my tip, then glides back up. My eyes almost shut at the sensation—she's so damn good at touching me, I can barely hold my shit together anymore.

But instead, I turn to face her, the action startling her momentarily. Then she smirks, slowly lowering to her knees.

"If you wanted to be sucked, baby," she mischievously grins. "You could've just asked."

"That's not why—fuck." I gasp once she takes me in her mouth, all the way, swirling her tongue around me.

Her head bobs up and down, her tongue and the warmth of her mouth bringing me closer and closer to the edge before she removes her mouth, almost making me whimper.

"That's not what you wanted?" She blinks up at me.

"Fuck I always want that, Lina," I pant, looking at her. "But what I wanted was to kiss you first."

She twists her lips for a second before placing a soft, teasing kiss on the tip of my dick, which twitches involuntarily.

"That kind of kiss?"

"No."

"Well, your body seems to be telling me otherwise," she grins, flicking her tongue quickly to catch my precum from the tip. "So you tell me. I can keep kissing you from here, and finish giving you the blowjob you love so much. Or, I kiss you, but I stop this," she shrugs. "Your choice."

I have never had someone make me feel so alive, yet so fucking desperate.

I push my hand in her hair, gripping gently. "Don't fucking stop."

"Thought so."

She kisses my tip again before taking me back into her mouth and I can't help but moan at the feel of it. Lina's body is so warm. I've noticed that. Including her mouth and her pussy.

Her body welcomes me in such a warm embrace, always.

Lina's working her mouth and tongue all around me, so I gently guide her to fit all of me in her mouth. I watch carefully, making sure she's okay. But as she moans gliding back down my cock, I know I won't last much longer.

"You're so beautiful," I admit tenderly, breath heavy. "So damn perfect, all the time," I grunt. "But my cock in your mouth makes it ten times better."

Lina moans, the sound literally shooting up my dick throughout my whole body. I thrust into her just as she's bobbing upward, sliding down her throat, causing another moan to ripple through her, nails digging into my hips.

She pulls back and looks up at me with a need that I can fully understand.

"Fuck my mouth, Hayden. It's yours."

And with those words echoing through my head, I lost it.

It's yours.

Damn right she's mine.

I kept thrusting into her willing mouth, seeing the tears forming at the edge of her eyes. But she refused to let me go until she got what she wanted, hollowing her cheeks around me and using her tongue to work me over until I was a shaking, uncontrollable mess.

"Fuck, Lina. I'm gonna come."

And with a final hard suck, I climaxed, sagging against the sink. Lina swallowed, licking me one last time before she let me go and stood to her feet.

I reach for her, bringing her body towards mine. Still trying to control my breathing, I wrap my arms around her. I feel her smile against my chest, hugging me back.

I would never, ever get enough of this girl.

"Good?" Lina asked, her voice a little raspy.

I nod. "Fucking incredible."

She looks up at me, a proud smile on her face. I noticed that she always asks if I'm satisfied, like I'm the only one who matters, or like she hasn't been praised for her magical mouth before.

I'm gonna be the one to break her of that, though.

I lean in for a kiss, but she presses her fingers to my lips. When I raise a brow, she shrugs.

"You made your choice, remember?"

I nip at her fingers, making her snatch them away from me, but I don't miss the way her eyes lit up at that.

"What do I have to do so I can kiss you?"

"Hmm," she looks up like she's thinking. "I'm not sure."

"How about some waffles? And coffee. And even some whipped cream." When her brows furrowed—so damn cute—I smile. "What?"

"Nothing," she shakes her head. "Just...assumed you'd offer sex or something first."

"Lina, it's morning. And I care about you being taken care of first before anything else." Her eyes searched mine, cheeks flushing. "But if you're not up for it, I know something else I'd love to eat for breakfast."

Realization set on her features, making her close her thighs together, swallowing. "Who says we can't have both?"

I smirk. "It's one or the other, baby. Your choice."

Her eyes narrow, but we both hear her stomach rumble lowly, which makes the decision for her.

"That's what I thought," I kiss her cheek before stepping, regrettably, away from her. "Borrow anything of mine and meet me downstairs when you're ready."

As I turn to leave, I hear her frustrated groan, making me chuckle.

God, I love that woman.

* * *

I successfully managed not to burn anything I prepared for Lina.

Once she finally came down the stairs, dressed in a black shirt of mine and boxers, she hopped on the counter and watched me make her waffles from scratch.

Something my mom taught me, before.

Her satisfactory moan was enough for me, trying to wake up junior down below, but I just focused on anything other than that.

"That was so good," Lina sighs, leaning back on her palms. "Thank you."

"Of course," I smile, putting the dishes in the sink. Since Lina was still on the counter, I moved between her legs, placing my palms on either side of her. "Hi."

She bites her lips, opening her legs a bit more to make room for me. "Hi."

Inches away from her lips, my eyes set on them. "Can I kiss you now?"

"Please." She breathes.

I close the distance between us instantly, my stomach filling with butterflies and nerves. It felt so good kissing her, I never needed anything else.

The kiss went from sweet and appreciative, and in a matter of moments, her tongue and mine were dancing together in a way that's so purely us, it'd make people jealous.

"Hayden," she pants as I pepper kisses down her jaw, kissing her neck.

She tightens her legs around me, making me groan. "Ever been fucked on a countertop, baby?"

She shakes her head, making me grin.

"Good, cause I—"

"Oh, mio Dio!"

The sudden intrusion causes me and Lina to jump away from each other. My poor, poor mother had her hands covering her eyes.

"Shit. Sorry, ma."

Lina's eyes almost pop out of her head and she tries to make a run for it, but I grip her wrist and bring her back against my chest, wrapping my arms around her.

"Can I..."

"Yeah, yeah."

Ma peeks through her fingers before moving her hands off her eyes. She looks between me and Lina, then a huge smile breaks across her face.

"Lina, right? You're even prettier than when I saw you last."

I tighten my grip around her waist, smiling proudly. Cause hell yes she is. I swear, she gets prettier every day.

"Thank you," Lina blushes, trying to claw her way out of my grip. "It's lovely to see you again, Mrs—"

"No formalities, sweetheart. Just Giovanna is fine."

Lina nods. "Right. Well, it is lovely to see you again."

"You, as well, bellissima. Did you guys already eat?"

"You think I'd make food and forget about you?" I snort, using one hand to reach the stack of pancakes I set aside for her. "Get outta here."

Ma smiles. "Lina, would you sit with me?"

"Oh. Yes, of course."

I finally let Lina go as I set the plate on the table. Mom sits at her spot, Lina sitting across from her. And for quite a while, I watched with a never-ending smile as those two went back and forth.

My mom is charming, and she's used that charm to whip up every old story in the book—and even a couple I hadn't heard. My mom had Lina laughing, aw-ing and swooning all morning. At one point, she even started crying when my mom started telling her how much she missed dad.

Hell, it hurt me to hear it. But Lina? She didn't even know them, their story. And yet, she was crying, as if she'd known them forever.

It goes to show how caring she is. How big her heart is.

And hot damn, it made me fall even more for her.

Seeing this whole ordeal, witnessing as these two women got along and talked for hours is probably one of the greatest experiences I've ever had in my life. My mom is the most important person to me, and now, so is Lina. And just knowing they get along and can make each other laugh is enough to have me in a set mind.

Lina's it for me.

She gets me. She sees me and just understands me. My mom obviously adores her. She's tender and kind, but wild and always keeps me on the tip of my toes. She makes my heart beat so fast, but makes me feel centered to the earth at the same time.

It's her, she's my anchor.

It's always been her. And I was always way too dumb and naive to admit it, let it happen.

But now that I have, I'll never let her go.

Never.
