"I think you'll really like my mum and dad and I'm sure they'll like you. You know, they both graduated at the top of their classes in high school and bloody killed it in college. My mum's a realtor and my dad's a freelance architect, which is actually how they met. My mum will tell you all about it when she manages to get you alone, I'm sure. She does it to everybody." Cadence explained as she dressed herself again.

Austin listened intently to Cadence's helpful tips as he got dressed as well. He didn't really know Cadence's family all that well. He only saw them once when she was FaceTiming them but, he knew they were all very close and very open people. That was a little reassuring. If they were all like Cadence, it would surely be overwhelming but, he knew he wouldn't be in over his head. There were just so many of them that he needed Cadence's help to walk him through everyone in her family. He wanted to make a good first impression.

"Jaylyn will surely be up your arse the entire time we're home. She's the second oldest, just behind me but, she's only sixteen. Lamar and Akeem are fifteen. Jada is ten. Helpful tip to tell which one is Lamar and which one is Akeem, Akeem is the loud one. His volume button on his voice is broken and he likes to see how many swearwords he can get away with." Cadence continued.

"Your younger siblings swear? In front of your parents?" Austin asked he began buttoning his shirt. "I wasn't allowed to swear when I was little. I didn't even start swearing until... Well, I hardly ever swear, really."

"Well, I hope it doesn't make you uncomfortable because we all swear at my house." Cadence approached Austin and replaced his hands with hers so she could button up his shirt herself. He smiled at her as she stayed focused on the buttons. "Lamar inherited mum and dad's genius gene so, he'll probably try to test you on how smart you are since he knows you're a college professor. Don't be intimidated by him, though."

"Okay." Austin nodded.

"They've also never seen me with a white boyfriend before so, it might come as a shock at first. I mean, they know you exist but, I don't think any of us predicted me bringing you home."

"Is it a problem that I'm white?"

"No! Not at all. Akeem might try to make some jokes about it but, as long as you're respectful and not secretly racist, there should be no problem."

"Definitely not racist. No thanks to my parents."

Cadence's eyes narrowed as they flickered up to meet Austin's. "You're parents are racist?"

Austin cringed as he awkwardly shrugged. "They're a little, overly insensitive to anyone who's not white. And American.. But, don't worry, I grew up trying my hardest to be the opposite of them."

Cadence nodded in understanding as she smoothed out Austin's shirt. It kind of made sense. Austin was perfect and hated his parents, for a good reason, obviously. They were hurtful towards their own child and hated anybody who wasn't white. Maybe Cadence's desire to have Austin close with his family should be thrown in the trash. She didn't even want to meet them now. As Austin's girlfriend, she figured she should meet them at some point. Not anymore though.

"Speaking of which..." Cadence slid her hands up Austin's shirt and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Have you ever dated a black girl before?"

"Never." Austin answered honestly. Cadence's eyebrows perked up with intrigue. "I was good friends with a black guy in college but he went to go teach overseas."

Cadence moaned as she pressed her body against Austin's. "Well, you know what they say about going black. You ain't ever going back."

"Hopefully, I won't be going anywhere anytime soon." Austin smiled before he kissed Cadence, savoring the feeling of her lips and her body against his. If they didn't have somewhere to be, he'd have her on that hotel bed all over again.

Cadence and Austin got back into a cab to travel from Oxford to Thame. Their fingers stayed locked as Cadence rambled on and on about her family and the days coming ahead. Jamie would be staying over for Christmas, otherwise, family members would be in and out of the house from here until the end of December. Apparently, Cadence's extended family was huge. That's why Cadence wanted to keep his hotel for as long as they could. There was no way they wouldn't be caught doing it in a house so full of people.

Austin got to see a bit of England as they drove, as well. It was weird driving on the opposite side of the road and seeing the driver on the opposite side of the car. The buildings were nice, though. Everything looked old. Even with snow everywhere and a cold wind blowing through the town, Thame was still bustling with people. Cadence reassured Austin that she'd take him to explore England as soon as she could.

Cadence's house was just as big as Austin expected. Both of her parents made good money and she had a million siblings so, naturally, the house was sizable. It wasn't huge by any means but it had a big yard, big driveway, and probably just enough rooms for everybody, and more. Austin was already nervous as he got out of the cab. This was a big deal, meeting Cadence's family. He wanted them to like him. That was more important than anything.

"Let me see you one more time." Cadence urged as the cab left and they walked towards her front door.

Austin stood obediently in front of Cadence and let her pick and prod at him to make sure he looked alright. He was nervous. He was so, so nervous. There was a good chance he'd get along with everyone, considering all that Cadence had told him, but they still had to meet in order to get to that point. They had to cross the awkwardness of first meeting and getting to know each other before there was a comfortable relationship there. That's the part that freaked Austin out.

"I love you." Cadence cupped Austin's jaw to stare into his eyes. Austin couldn't help but spot the nervous glint in her eyes as she said that. "You know that."

Austin smiled. "I know that. And I love you."

Cadence took a deep breath and nodded. She kissed him, took his hand, and started towards the front door again. There was no way this wasn't going to go well, but still, her family was a bit unpredictable. Her siblings could fall in love with Austin like they did with Reed or, they'd all agree that they didn't care for him. Cadence knew her parents would agree on anybody that she loved because, they wanted her to be happy, but her siblings were all wildcards. They were little devils in disguise.

"I'm home!" Cadence yelled into the house as she walked in, Austin stepping in behind her with his hand in hers. "And I brought a cute boy home with me!"

Lucretia instantly looked up at Bruce, catching his smile and becoming even more confused. After everyone briefly exchanged confused glances, everyone got up from their seat at the kitchen table and ran through the house to find Cadence. Austin could feel all the footsteps in the floor boards and anxiously squeezed Cadence's hand. In one giant cluster, everyone appeared at the other end of the hallway and spotted Cadence with a boy at the front door.

"Who the bloody hell is that?" Akeem shouted as he started down the hallway. The others followed, Jaylyn pushing to be ahead of everyone else.

"Is this your boyfriend?" Jaylyn excitedly asked.

"Is this the same dude from when we FaceTimed you?" Lamar asked, very casually walking with everyone else.

"Everyone, this is Austin Whittmore. Austin, this is everyone..." Cadence grabbed Austin's arm with her free hand, still clinging to him with her other as well.

Austin cleared his throat and flashed a friendly smile. "Nice to meet you all. I've already heard so much about you."

There was a moment of silence as everyone looked Austin up and down. He was taller than Cadence, a bit skinnier, ten times as pale, blonde, and was wearing a button up shirt, blazer, and suit pants. It was both casual and sophisticated, his usual style. His looks weren't half bad either. He looked like a smart, well put together, adult. The guys Cadence was usually with didn't ever look this grown up.

Lucretia stepped through her wall of children to reach her hand out to Austin. She was definitely on the short side, standing shorter than Austin and Cadence. She was round as well, her hair pulled up into a wild mess of curls. She had a bright smile and kind eyes, which made Austin a little less tense as he greeted her.

"My name is Lucretia. It's nice to meet you." Lucretia shook Austin's hand with both of hers before she stepped back and allowed Bruce to greet him as well.

"Bruce." Bruce gave Austin's hand a hard shake. He stood taller than Austin and appeared to be bigger than him in every sense of the word. His hair was longer than Austin expected but, all his dreads were pulled back and sat in a low ponytail.

"Jaylyn!" Jaylyn excitedly reached out to shake Austin's hand as well. "I'm the oldest. I mean, besides Cadence."

"Nice to meet you, Jaylyn." Austin smiled.

Akeem and Lamar both stuck their hands out with hard expressions plastered on their faces. They looked so similar and both looked angry.

"Lamar." The left one said, maintaining his glare.

"Akeem." The right one said, maintaining the exact same expression.

Cadence slapped both their hands away and doubled down an even harder glare. "Stop it. Don't fuck with him." She turned to Austin and introduced them properly. "Akeem and Lamar. They do this every time."

Austin understood that they had swapped names to confuse him and snorted a laugh. He shook the hand of the one on the left, confidently greeting Akeem. He then shook the hand of the one of the right, confidently greeting Lamar. Then, he spotted a little girl stood beside all of her siblings with a blank expression on her face.

She jutted her hand out as well. "Jada." She muttered. "Nice to meet you."

Austin smiled and shook her hand. "You're the baby of the family, aren't you?" Jada nodded, her eyes glued to Austin as she studied him.

"We just finished up breakfast but, we have cupcakes and cookies and tea and hot chocolate. Really, anything you'd fancy to try." Lucretia offered, her English accent much thicker than Cadence's. Everyone's accents were a lot thicker than Cadence's actually. She almost sounded American compared to them.

"That all sounds really good, Mrs. Mitchell. Thank you." Austin nodded.

Everyone funneled back through the hallway to get to the kitchen, Lucretia letting everyone pass so she could walk with Cadence and Austin. "Oh no, dear. Lucretia is fine. And call my husband, Bruce, please. He gets really big-headed otherwise."

"Alright." Austin laughed.

In the kitchen, there was a large area full of countertops and appliances. There was a bit of a mess that consisted mainly of baking supplies and plenty of plates that held piles of cookies and cupcakes. The kitchen table was lined up with all the big windows that looked out to their backyard, where two giant dogs were playing in the snow. There were somehow enough seats for everyone since the table with so long.

As Austin sat beside Cadence at the table, Jaylyn popped up beside him with a plate of cupcakes. "I made these cupcakes last night. And I actually measured out my ingredients so I suggest you try mine and not Lamar and Akeem's."

Looking at the cupcakes, Austin was actually very impressed by their professionalism. The frosting was piped beautifully, there were little candy Christmas trees on them, and the wrapping around them was even Christmas themed. Austin happily took one and Cadence snapped at her sister to bring her the plate since she was about to walk away without offering. Cadence wasn't even ashamed to be grabbing two cupcakes. She didn't eat breakfast this morning and she needed food after having sex at the hotel.

"Would you like tea, hot chocolate? We have coffee, even, if you'd like some of that." Lucretia asked from the kitchen.

"Coffee would be perfect, Lucretia. Thank you." Austin politely answered as he unwrapped his cupcake.

"So, Austin." Bruce said from the opposite side of the table, easily gaining Austin's attention. "I hear you're a college professor."

"I am." Austin cleared his throat. "I teach an astronomy class at Killian May in Los Angelos and I'm in England now to help represent the school at a convention in Oxford."

"Really?" Lucretia gasped from the kitchen. "Cadence, you brought home a professor?"

"I did, I did. A very smart one too." Cadence smiled lovingly at Austin, who felt embarrassed but flattered by her compliment.

"How old are you?" Akeem asked, his eyebrows furrowed as he stared at the professor.

"Twenty-nine." Austin answered, already knowing why he was asking. He got that a lot from people. The stereotypical image people had of college professors were usually old dudes but, Austin wanted to start teaching as soon as he could.

"How long have you been teaching?" Bruce asked.

Lucretia set Austin's coffee down in front of him and he thanked her with a polite smile before he answered Bruce's question. "Three years. When I first started, I was shadowing professors and teaching a few classes a week and then, I eventually got my own, full position on campus."

"You must be very popular with your students being so young and handsome." Lucretia smiled as she sat beside Jada.

Austin blushed and Cadence gasped as she clung to his arm. "Mum! He's mine!" Austin blushed even more.

"So, like..." Jaylyn whispered as she leant over the table to look at Austin and Cadence. "Are you guys in love or something? Cadence had never brought a boy home before.."

Austin nearly choked on his coffee, completely caught off guard by that question. He had never told anybody that he loved them so, this whole love thing was new to him. It was new to Cadence as well, obviously, which made her blush as she nibbled on her bottom lip. Neither of them expected a question like that. Bruce knowingly smiled and sat back to watch how his daughter would handle this situation. Everyone else intently stared at the couple, waiting for an answer.

"As a matter of fact, I am in love with him." Cadence confessed and turned to Austin, their eyes locking as they both awkwardly smiled. She reached her hand towards the back of his neck and played with his soft, blonde hair. "I've never actually been in love with anyone but, he's totally worth it."

"You weren't in love with Reed?" Akeem shamelessly asked.

Cadence instantly reached to that name, her fingers freezing in Austin's hair as her eyes darted to her little brother. Her siblings didn't know what happened. None of them knew that Lucretia and Bruce had been avoiding using that name since Cadence was in the hospital. It was obvious that even Austin had a negative reaction to that name as his eyes fell nervously to his coffee. Both Bruce and Lucretia shot Akeem a glare.

"We're not saying that name in this house anymore. Akeem, go wash the dishes from breakfast." Lucretia calmly spoke as he gestured towards the kitchen sink.

Akeem perked up in his seat. "What the hell? You're punishing me for saying something I didn't know I wasn't allowed to say?"

"No." Bruce sternly spoke up. "You're not being punished. The dishes need to be washed. Lamar and Jaylyn will help."

"Ew! I hate your guys' dirty dishes." Jaylyn whined but got up anyways, knowing she couldn't refuse the orders she received from her parents.

Akeem begrudgingly got up and stomped into the kitchen as Lamar got up with a roll of his eyes. As the three of them trudged into the kitchen, Jada swiftly scooted over a chair to take Jaylyn's spot that was next to Cadence. Cadence smiled at her and slid her little sister her second cupcake.

"Are you going to be in England during Christmas?" Lucretia suddenly asked, easily changing the subject. "It would be so lovely if you stayed and we all got a chance to get to know you before you went back to the states."

"If it's agreed upon that I won't be an intrusion, i know Cadence wants me to stay for Christmas." Austin politely answered, trying to sound slightly indifferent so there was no awkwardness if he couldn't stay.

Cadence rolled her eyes. "He's definitely staying for Christmas. I won't have it any other way."

"That's perfectly fine, dear." Bruce smiled. "After all, I know how much you've missed him." Bruce winked at his daughter and Cadence smiled, mouthing a thank you to her father, both thanking him for letting Austin's stay and thanking him for being so supportive while they were separated.

Lucretia tried to dissect Austin bit by bit as they sat at the kitchen table together. She asked him where he grew up, if he had siblings, what his parents were like. Austin kept details like that vague but he made sure to admit that he didn't have a good relationship with them, just so his vague answers didn't seem to sketchy. Lucretia happily left all of that alone and changed the subject to his work again. She didn't like talking about sore subjects.

That conversation then turned into conversation about Lucretia and Bruce's work. Austin was very intrigued to hear about the real-estate in England and how Bruce had helped design a few of the houses Lucretia ended up selling. They then told Austin the story of how they met. Some fashion rich fellow was selling his house but wanted it completely remodeled before he did so, as Bruce worked on the design, Lucretia was there to help the home owner talk about property value and all.

Lucretia explained that Bruce was a total flirt and wouldn't leave her alone until she agreed to get a drink with him. They ended up at a pub, spent the rest of the night walking around London until the sun came out, fell madly in love, and eventually got married. Austin could tell by the way Lucretia told the story and the way Bruce stared at his wife that they were still madly in love with one another. It was nice. They seemed like such a loving, domestic couple.

When Austin asked about the type of homes Lucretia helped sell, she rushed off to grab her iPad and show him photos. The boys excused themselves to play outside when they were done with dishes and Jada rushed to follow. Jaylyn stuck around since she wanted to be apart of the conversation. She was always the type to get along with the grown ups more than kids her age. Besides, she was intrigued by the fact that Cadence actually brought a boy home.

Lucretia sat beside Austin with her iPad and her glasses now on her face as she swiped through photos. He listened carefully as she told stories about the buildings and described all of their unique features. When Bruce recognized a house she was describing, he butted in to brag about a design choice that he had made when the house was being built or remodeled. Cadence simply sat back and smiled as she watched her parents get along with her boyfriend exactly how she had imagined it.

Cadence eventually excused herself to use the bathroom and smiled all the way there and all the way back. When she moved to the kitchen to look for more food, Bruce got up from the table and plucked a sugar cookie out of her hand so he could eat it himself. Cadence wanted to protest but Bruce had such a big mouth that more than half the cookie was gone by the time she looked up at him. Still, she smiled.

"I've never seen you smile this bloody much before, Cadie." Bruce grinned as he chewed on his cookie.

Cadence shrugged and snatched another cookie from the pile. "I told you I like him."

"I'm glad it worked out. As long as he's making you smile like this, I'll support you two. But, don't think I didn't notice how long it took you to come home." Cadence tensed as her eyes flickered up to meet her fathers. "I know you two weren't talking all that time and, just so you know, I don't want none of that shit in the house during Christmas. We have far too many kids in this bloody house for all that nonsense."

"Oh, right. As if you and mum don't make us suffer through all your perverted noises. I don't even live here as much as they do, those poor kids." Cadence smugly countered.

Bruce's mouth fell open and his eyes widened as he tried to come up with a retort. "You and your siblings should be asleep by the time your mother and I indulge in any type of naughty behavior."

"They're getting older, daddy. They don't sleep all through the night like they used to. I got up in the middle of the night the other night and Jaylyn was up on her phone and Akeem and Lamar were playing video games."

Bruce groaned and shoved the rest of his cookie in his mouth. "I have nothing to be ashamed of." He defended through filled cheeks.

"Then, neither do I." Cadence cockily smiled as she sidestepped her father. "We'll try to keep it down, though.."

"Cadence!" Bruce called after her but Cadence ignored her father to sit by her boyfriend again.

Bruce shot her a glare but Cadence simply shrugged and averted her attention back to whatever her mother was rambling about. She was only teasing him. She wasn't as shameless as her father and didn't plan on fucking Austin here, anyways. That's what his hotel was for.

-

"I'm so glad they like you!" Cadence cried when Austin and Cadence escaped to his hotel room again. She hurried to grab his face and kissed him. She didn't get to kiss him at all when they were home.

"I can tell your mother likes me. She's a very, very sweet woman. I can tell she's good with people. Your dad, though... I can't tell if he likes me much." Austin awkwardly admitted.

"Oh, don't worry, baby. He likes you. I love you which means he likes you." Cadence broke away from Austin to grab her luggage that she brought for their weekend here. "He's just a very personal person. He works one on one with his clients, he has a different relationship with all us kids. You just need to get some alone time with him and I'm sure he'll tell you all about how great you are."

Austin nodded as he shed his jacket and started unbuttoning his shirt. He had gotten along with Lucretia really well. She was very easy and approachable as a person. He talked to her more than anyone but he also gave Jaylyn some talking room since he noticed how much she stuck to her parents instead of her siblings. Lamar and Akeem were inseparable, Jada was towing behind them all day to play with them, but Jaylyn liked hanging out with Cadence and her parents much more.

Lamar and Akeem weren't very hard to get along with either. They were both very wary around him but after talking about their footie games and when Austin attempted to play lacrosse in high school, they warmed up a bit. If Jada wasn't stuck to Akeem and Lamar, she was stuck to her father and she didn't seem to talk much. Although, she did whine a few times while Austin was there. She was the baby of the family after all, even if she was ten already.

"I gotta tell you, Cadence, I was really, really nervous to meet them." Austin admitted as he pulled a casual tee over his head.

"But, you're not anymore?" Cadence asked as she pulled clothes out of her luggage to find her pajamas.

"I am. I am definitely still nervous. I want them to like me all through Christmas, you know. I don't want to say something dumb on accident or have them get sick of me."

"They won't get sick of you, don't worry so much. I think you did really good today." Cadence pulled her shirt up and over her head, revealing all the tattoos Austin missed so much while they were separated. "My dad totally knew we were having sex, by the way, so we're going to have to get all of our two months of sexual frustration out here. If we do anything at my house, he's going to be pissed."

Austin cringed. "Did he say that to you? You talk about your sex life to your father? Isn't that weird?"

"No, not really. I'm twenty six. It's not like he thinks I'm a virgin or anything." Cadence stripped of her jeans as well, walking towards Austin in nothing but her underwear. "Like I said, he's a very personal man. When you get close to him, you'll realize how supportive and comfortable he can be."

"Okay. I'll try." Austin's arms found their way around Cadence's waist as her arms fell over his shoulders. Cadence silently eye-fucked her boyfriend as she smiled up at him. He could tell exactly what she was thinking. "Two months of sexual frustration is a lot to make up for in one weekend."

"One weekend with you isn't enough to make up for an hour of sexual frustration. I could never get enough of you." Cadence moaned as she brought herself closer to Austin, brushing her lips against his just before he gently kissed him.

Austin couldn't help but smile as he held Cadence's body closer to his. It was one thing to finally have her back but, it was a totally different thing for her love him like he loved her. It was his greatest fantasy come true. During their entire time knowing each other, all Austin wanted was more, and now he had it. They were in a real relationship with real, deep feelings. Cadence was all his. Nothing could possibly make him any happier than that.

"I love you." Austin whispered and kissed Cadence a bit harder, his hands traveling down her waist and grabbing her ass. "I love you so much."

Cadence chuckled and sucked on his bottom lip, giving it a playful nip with her teeth. "I love you too."

Austin wasted no time in bending down just enough to hook his hands behind the back of her knees. Cadence squealed as she was lifted into the air, her arms hugging Austin tight against her body as he began walking across the room. When Austin's knees hit the edge of the bed, he very slowly and carefully lowered himself and Cadence so she was laid against the bed. He didn't want to move too quickly or harshly and scare her like he had before. Cadence could tell that's what he was doing and felt her whole body warm with an overwhelming dose of love.

Cadence gently grabbed Austin's face, lovingly admiring him as he stared right back at her. When his glasses slipped a bit off his nose, he grabbed them and put them aside. If they were going to have sex right now, he couldn't be wearing them anyways. Cadence liked Austin with his glasses though. He was so cute when he looked like a nerdy professor. There was just something about him that made her want to squeeze him, like he was a puppy or something.

"You know.." Austin took a deep, relaxing breath as he kept himself propped up above Cadence. "You walked up to me one night at a boring art show on June 20th, approximately around 9-9:30."

Cadence tilted her head, her expression twisting with a bit of confusion and intrigue. "You remember the date of the night we met?"

"I do." Austin smiled, his eyes never straying from Cadence's. He felt so lucky every time he stared at her like this. "I haven't stopped thinking about it ever since I realized December 20th is the six month anniversary since I met you."

Cadence instantly gasped, her brown eyes going wide. Her lashes looked even longer than they already were when her eyes widened like that. "That's tomorrow!"

"I know it is." Austin chuckled. "For a while, I panicked because I wanted it to be a special day. If we were a couple, it would be special but, I don't think it counts since we spent two months apart and only started dating today."

Cadence pouted and she began playing with Austin's hair. There was a moment of silence between them before Cadence sighed. "I think it counts."

"You do?" Cadence nodded. "Why? Just because you want it to count?"

"Because, I took a leap of faith with you. Something about you that night looked new and exciting. Admittedly, you're not my usual type, but for some reason, I just couldn't come up with a reason to not talk to you that night. Even when you took me home and basically refused to sleep with me, something about you kept me around. If I'm being honest, I think I've been yours since June 20th. Even if I didn't want to admit it, even if I tried to fight it, you totally and completely had me wrapped about your finger from day one." Cadence softly explained.

Austin absorbed all of Cadence's words bit by bit, his heart swelling to an almost dangerous size. That was so good to hear. It was a relief. For two months, Austin wondered if Cadence ever actually liked him or if he was just one of her toys. He loathed himself and their half-assed relationship that entire time. So, to hear her say all of this now, he felt so relieved and happy. He wanted Cadence and he had Cadence, all this time, he just didn't know it. This really was a miracle.

"I love you so fucking much." Austin grabbed the back of Cadence's neck and gently picked her head up off the bed to capture her in a deep, heated kiss.

Cadence gasped to take in a breath just before Austin captured her lips. She was completely consumed by his dominance as he took control. Austin kissed Cadence as hard as he loved her and held her as gently as he cared for her. It was strange for Cadence to feel loved through something as simple as a kiss, but with the way Austin did it, she understood every word that he silently spoke to her.

Everyone one of Austin's deep kisses were like an ocean wave. Rushed in their approach and slow in their retreat. It was intoxicating every time he kissed her. She was losing herself in the blissful waves of his love. She loved the way his lips melded with hers and the way his tongue caressed her own. Everything about Austin and the way he kissed her and touched her drove her insane. He was everything she needed. He was too good to be true.

Austin slowly pulled away from Cadence, laying her head back on the bed before whispering against her lips, "Can I try something?"

Cadence's eyes drunkenly fluttered open as she took a heavy breath. It was hard to breathe when they made out like that. "Sure. Anything." She whispered.

Austin ran his hand up Cadence's neck, letting his fingers get lost in all of her dark curls as he looked over her beautiful, alluring figure that laid beneath him. "I want to make love to you."

Cadence sucked in a shocked breath and held it as she intensely examined Austin's green eyes. He looked like he was being serious when he asked that question. Deadly serious. He didn't blush, he didn't stutter, he didn't turn shy and submissive like usual. Cadence was completely caught off guard. Where had this side of him come from? He was always shy talking about their sex life yet, he was suddenly able to ask a question that intimidate and sexual.

Even Cadence turned bashful as she nibbled on her bottom lip. "O-Okay... Like, you want to be in control?"

"I'll be gentle." Austin quickly reassured. "I won't pin you down, I won't be rough, I won't hurt you. You can stop me if you get uncomfortable at any point."

"Uhm..." Cadence could feel her heart racing. This was such a weird proposal to Cadence. She wasn't good with love stuff so she wasn't sure what she should be expecting. It made her nervous. "Okay. We can do that.."

"Are you sure?" Austin asked with a look of concern in his soft green eyes as he gently brushed Cadence's hair aside.

Just by the look on his face and the gentle way that he touched her, Cadence was sure. Austin would never do anything to make her uncomfortable and would never hurt her. She knew that. He wasn't like Reed. He wasn't like anybody she had ever been with, really. Austin was somehow a complete package of everything that Cadence needed in a man. She would let him do anything to her, especially since he let her do anything to him.

"I'm sure. I want you to make love to me." Cadence smiled as her arms found their way around his neck. "Because I love you, Austin Whittmore."

Austin instantly moaned at the sound of those words falling so effortlessly off Cadence's tongue like that. He kissed her again, this time putting his whole body into it. The kiss was still slow but deep, like that ocean wave Cadence loved so much. Austin slightly shifted so he had more stability in his legs and let his hands roam Cadence's body. She moaned as the feeling of him groping her ass and her caressing her legs.

Eventually, Austin broke away from Cadence to plant kisses over her neck. She tilted her head away to give him better access and moaned when he sucked on the sweet spot of her neck. He drug his lips over her skin, kissing across her collarbones as he held her waist. Austin's hands glide over her skin until they were behind her and he easily popped Cadence's bra open. She helped him remove that article of clothing before his mouth latched on to her breast.

Cadence gasped and purred as Austin ravished her with no reservation. She slightly adjusted so she could sit up against the headboard and bury her fingers in Austin's hair. Every flick of his tongue, every brush of his lips, every graze of his teeth had Cadence's body reacting in full force. She could feel herself growing hot and wet for him as his mouth switched from one breast to the other. He kept his hands on her body, holding her in just the right position for him to ravish her like he was.

"Come on, baby. I need you." Cadence whined as Austin took his time sucking on her nipples.

Austin moaned against Cadence's nipple as he shook his head, causing her breath to hitch in her throat. "I want to take my time with you. I want to show you how much I love you." Austin whispered against Cadence's skin as he looked up at her through his lashes.

Cadence groaned as she felt her body fill with that familiar warmth of love. She was crazy for him. Luckily, Austin did move on. His mouth traveled down her stomach, leaving chaste kisses over skin along the way. He repositioned again to get out from between her legs and slowly strip her of her panties. Cadence chewed on her bottom lip as she watched Austin strip her and toss her panties aside in a more dominant manner than she was used to.

Austin maintained eye contact with Cadence as he sunk between her legs, a knowing glint in his eyes that gave him an unfamiliar air of confidence. This side of Austin was so foreign to Cadence that it made her feel all fluttery and anxious. Who was this guy? Did being in love really make him this confident and dominant? They were still having sex, something that usually made him very shy, and yet, he didn't skip a beat this entire time. He was too determined to waste any time worrying like he always did.

"I love you." Austin whispered against Cadence's heat before placing a kiss on her clit.

Cadence flinched upon contact and furiously blushed as her hands flew up to cover her face. "Don't bloody say that when you're doing... that! It's weird! I feel like you're talking to my fucking cooch!"

Austin chuckled and planted a few kisses along Cadence thighs before he returned to her core. Cadence couldn't help the moan that escaped her when Austin's tongue slipped between her folds. There was no real reason why Cadence should keep quiet, but because Austin was making her feel so bashful, she couldn't help but cover her mouth as she moaned. If he wasn't going to have a bit of shame while doing this, she should, or they'd probably get kicked out of the hotel.

Austin played with Cadence for a while, adding a finger or two to coach a bit more noise out of her. He felt cocky when he realized he knew just what to do to her to get what he wanted out of her. Cadence was cute when she was mewling with pleasure like this. She was helpless when he found her g-spot and teased them, making her entire body react to his touch. Austin surely enjoyed watching her fall apart in front of him like this. It just made him that much more anxious, though.

When Austin suddenly disappeared from between Cadence's legs, her eyes shot open with a look of desperation that made Austin smirk. She caught his cocky expression as he stood up from the bed and shot him a glare, her middle finger appearing in front of her blushing face. Austin stripped of his shirt by pulling it over his head from the back as he walked across the room and Cadence swooned at the way his shoulders rolled when he moved like that. He looked so manly.

Austin rummaged through his things to find his wallet and the condom he hid within it. Placing the condom between his teeth, he then started stripping of his pants. Cadence excitedly sat at the edge of the bed and looked up at Austin as she reached for the waistband of his pants. Austin removed the condom from his mouth and watched Cadence with a handsome smirk as he let her fingers work over his button and zipper since he only managed to get his belt undone. Her eyes were so pretty when she looked up at him like that.

"You look so fucking sexy right now." Cadence purred, grabbing Austin's hips and bringing him closer so she could plant her lips on his pale abdomen.

Cadence shimmied Austin's pants down first, her teeth pulling playfully at Austin's boxers before he stopped her. He quickly caught Cadence's chin and tilted her head up to give her a disapproving glare. Cadence innocently batted her eyelashes up at Austin as her hands slithered up his boxers anyways. He caught her off guard by slamming his lips against hers, instantly rendering her hands immobile on his thighs.

Austin swiftly wrapped an arm behind Cadence and grabbed the back of one of her knees to scoot her further on to the bed, never letting their lips part as he fell right on top of her. As they continued in a heated, determined kiss, Austin shed his boxers himself and ripped the condom package open to roll it on to his length. He didn't want Cadence to do any of the work, which is why he had glared at her. She was always the one doing everything so, he wanted to treat her.

Austin relaxed between Cadence's legs when he was ready, gently grabbing her legs and coaching them around his waist. Cadence could feel herself grow anxious as she realized they were finally about to get to the good part. Her skin was buzzing with excitement, her guts tingling with needy anticipation. Austin didn't rush, though, as he made sure to read Cadence's body language and double check that she was comfortable with the position they were in.

"Are you okay like this?" Austin whispered as he gently brushed a strand of curly hair out of her face, his hand grazing her skin so gently.

Cadence nodded, her breath mingling with his before she managed to speak. "Yes. I'm fine. Please, just kiss me."

Austin found Cadence's needy behavior amusing and kissed her with a smile on his face. He held her face gently in his palm as their tongues tangled and danced in one another's mouths. Very slowly and carefully, Austin blindly grabbed his hard length and grazed Cadence's entrance. Cadence instantly whined, the noise falling into Austin's mouth as she bucked slightly against his hard tip. Austin's jaw locked and flexed at the dizzying feeling of her searching for his cock like that.

Since Austin couldn't kiss Cadence with a locked jaw, she searched for another source of comfort. Cadence gripped the back of Austin's neck and took heavy breaths as he slowly sunk into her heat. Austin's length slid in so smoothly, their bodies melding as one as he buried himself inside Cadence. She moaned and whispered sounds of pleasure as Austin moved, her walls stretching to accommodate his new presence. His whole body tensed and froze so they could both take a few breaths.

During their reunion this morning, Austin and Cadence already had sex, but it was somehow different then. It was rushed and sloppy this morning. They were just so happy to be together that they fucked as soon as they could. It didn't even phase either one of them. Now, though, they were in a whole new realm of sexual pleasure. They weren't just going at it right now. They were experiencing one another in a whole new light, savoring every moment and feeling and emotion.

When Austin and Cadence were both settled and comfortable, Austin swiftly moved his hips to pull back before he thrust into Cadence again. She gasped at the dizzying motion and pushed his shoulder just enough to let him know that she was panicking. Austin stayed propped up on one arm, letting that hand brush Cadence's face as his other grabbed her hand from his shoulder so he could interlace his fingers with hers. She wouldn't open her eyes as she stayed stiff and scared.

"Cadence.." Austin whispered as he caresses her beautiful skin. She didn't move or respond. "Look at me, baby. Please, look at me."

Cadence's eyes flickered open, a glistening in her eyes that made Austin's heart ache.

"It's just me. I won't hurt you. You know that. I won't ever hurt you." Austin lovingly reassured as he stared into her deep, brown eyes. "Okay?"

Cadence gulped and nodded, never letting her eyes stray from Austin's. "You're not going to hurt me." Her voice shook as she blinked away the tears.

"Never." Austin took a few heavy breaths. His heart was racing, as was hers. "Do you want to stop?"

"No." Cadence shook her head and reached for Austin's face with her free hand, squeezing his hand with the other. "Keep going. Just.. be gentle."

"I promise, I will. Just look at me, okay, Cadence?" Cadence nodded and let her muscles relax as she talked herself through her panic.

Austin slowly moved once more, Cadence's mouth falling open in a silent gasp when his hips met hers again. They maintained eye contact and continued to caress one another's skin as Austin created a slow, gentle rhythm. It helped when Cadence kept her eyes locked with Austin's. Those green eyes were so soft and comforting, holding nothing but love and warmth. She could never be afraid as long as he was looking at her like that. It was just Austin, the man she was in love with, throwing her into a whirlpool of overwhelming love and intimacy.

When there was enough of a steady rhythm for a noticeable amount of pleasure to start building, Cadence's eyes fluttered shut. Austin carefully studied her to make sure she wasn't about to freak out. He didn't want her to forget it was him if she shut her eyes. Luckily, she was so focused on the pleasure pooling inside her that she couldn't think about anything but Austin. He had such an intoxicating movement of his hips that mimicked the way he kissed. He was consistent, determined, and precise.

"I love you." Austin whispered into Cadence's ear as he rested his forehead against her shoulder.

"I love you." She breathed in response, her words turning into a high-pitched moan when he thrust into her a bit quicker than before.

Austin settled and slowly pulled back, waiting for a response from Cadence. When he got none, Austin took it as a good sign and thrust into her just as quickly. Cadence whimpered, a sound less opposing and more greedy, urging Austin to give her more. So, Austin listened and obeyed. Austin moved faster, a bit harder, but kept his mind clear so he could read the slightest change in Cadence's body language.

"More.. More, more, more.." Cadence breathlessly begged as she clawed desperately at Austin's shoulder. "Please, Austin. I need you."

Austin's entire body was instantly filled with Cadence's demand. He didn't think this time as he thrust his hips harder than the last, harder than the last, faster than the last. Cadence moaned and gasped as her back arched off the sheets beneath her, her bare breasts pressing against Austin's chest. Austin never slowed his pace as he hooked his arm around Cadence's waist and drug his lips over her shoulder, her neck, collarbone, and over her breasts.

The view of Cadence's erotic, blissful expression from between the valley of her plump breasts as she moaned made something in Austin's gut tremble. She was so beautiful. Her skin smelt like honey. The noises escaping her were so lewd and filled him with so much determination. He wanted to hear more and remember those wonderful noises even in his dreams. He couldn't help himself from sitting up and grabbing either side of Cadence's waist to slam into her at slightly different angle.

"Oh, fuck!" Cadence cried, one hand gripping the sheets beneath her as the other found the headboard of the bed.

The sound of skin slapping skin, Cadence's moaning, and the bed creaking all echoing in the hotel room made Austin blush but, he never stopped. He trapped his bottom lip between his teeth to keep himself quiet as his body moved with it's own desire for more pleasure. No matter how bashful he was, no matter if he had control over the noises he so desperately wanted to make, his body didn't care about anything but it's need for release. And he was close. He could feel the pleasure pooling in the deepest part of his gut until it was tickling the brim of release.

Before Austin could completely lose himself, he stopped and fell atop Cadence again. He moved slowly now, his trembling forearm holding himself up as the other caressed her hip to guide her hips to meet every drug out roll of his his own. Cadence whined at his suddenly slow pace and opened her eyes to look up at him. She almost looked drunk as she reached desperately for his face and his naked, damp body.

"Why? Why'd you stop? It felt good. It felt so, so fucking good." Cadence was panting just as heavily as Austin, realizing her body was just as hot and damp as Austin's was.

"I want to look in your eyes when you cum. I want you to see me and know I love you." Austin gulped as he stared into Cadence's pretty brown eyes. "Okay?"

"Okay.." Tears welled in Cadence's eyes, her hands caressing Austin's face. "You made me fall in love with you. Now, make me cum."

Austin smiled and nodded before he cupped the back of Cadence's neck to bring her into another kiss. He kissed her long and deep, making the approach of his lips even more dizzying than his retreat, just as he did with his hips. Cadence still moaned against his lips as he slowly thrusted in and out of the warmth that squeezed around his length. It wasn't until he broke the kiss to look into Cadence's eyes that he sharply thrust into her again. Cadence held his stare as she gasped, smiling when he smirked.

"Fuck me." Cadence whispered words of encouragement, dragging her hands down from his face to scratch the skin of his chest. Austin groaned from the sharpness of her nails and thrust sharply into her again. Cadence drunkenly nodded and whispered again. "Fuck me, Austin. Please, fuck me."

Her words were submissive in nature but, she still managed to speak every word that escaped her lips like a command. Austin could never disobey Duchess, even when he was trying to take the control from her. So, his hips moved with more determination again as the pleasure built all over again. It was faster this time, the feat easily to reach than before. Cadence clapped her hand over her mouth as she loudly cried out in pleasure from the wonderful sensation building up all over again, her eyes never leaving Austin's.

Looking into Austin's eyes as he fucked her like he did was something Cadence never thought to do with him. She had only seen stuff like that in porn and it always made the scene a lot more intimate, which she figured was just a trick for the viewers pleasure. Cadence never crazed that intimacy and she didn't want to do it for show, like a porn star. This was different than she expected though. The silent communication between them from just their eye contact and the intimacy it brought wasn't fake. It was amazing. It touched the deepest parts of her in all the best ways.

Even when Cadence's orgasm crashed through her like an electric wave, she didn't break eye contact until her back was off the bed and she was screaming between the cracks in her fingers. Austin could feel her orgasm in the way her walls convulsed around his length and anxiously milked him for more. He couldn't fight back any longer and ended up cumming just seconds behind Cadence. His body trembled atop of hers, his voice almost as loud as he emptied himself in his condom, her needy walls helping his release.

"I'm sorry.." Cadence dropped her hand from her mouth to grip her bare chest as she heaved. Her hips squirmed as her body slowly recovered from her high. "I tried to look at you until the very end. I'm sorry.."

"No.." Austin attempted to catch his breath as his forehead fell to Cadence's collarbone again. He breathed in the smell of her sweat and her natural, amazing scent. "It was good. It was all really, really good. Good for you?"

"Good for me." Cadence confirmed. She couldn't help but chuckle as her fingers found their way into his soft, blonde hair again. "I guess, it's true. Sex is better when you're in love."

"Now, you know how I've felt all this time." Austin whispered. It was better this time, there was no doubt about it but, it was still something Austin wanted for a long time now. This and Cadence was all he ever wanted.
