The soft kiss turned quickly into frantic kisses. Talia and Zeke hadn't had sex since before the horrendous dinner at his parent's house. They were long overdue. Talia needed him now. Waking up in his arms every morning was torture. Her inner slut was panting for everything right then. No waiting. No foreplay. Him insider her now played through her brain. When Talia reached for his belt, Zeke stopped her with a hand.

"Stop." Talia pulled back feeling stung. He regained the distance between them. "I mean let's slow down. I want to savor you. I'm making love to you tonight. We are not just fucking."

Tingles shot up her spine with his words. "Ok."

Zeke leaned in kissing below her ear. A zing of excitement shot down her body and straight to her core. Her eyes closed as he slowly kissed down to her collarbone

"Lay down." He growled.

Talia lay on the blanket that had just been their dancefloor only moments ago. He kneeled next to her looking at her. He was backlit by the moon, so she couldn't see his face, but could feel his eyes devouring her.

"I love you." He said softly.

Talia froze. With those words, her breath froze in her chest. She knew she should say it back, but her mouth wouldn't move.

Instead she said, "What?" Real smooth.

Zeke lay next to her gathering her to him. "I love you, Lia. You have me. Mind, body, and soul. It's all yours. It was never anyone but you."

"Oh." She said with yet another witty retort.

He sucked her earlobe between his teeth causing her to shudder. "You don't have to say it now. I just need you to know how I feel."

The kissing made her mind blank. He continued down her body removing her shirt in one brisk pull over her head. His control was slipping and it made Talia feel wild inside. With a deep breath, he slowed back down covering the tops of her breasts with kisses. While kissing her breasts his hands held her close. With each nibble and kiss his hands began to knead her lower back. Pleasure assaulted her.

"Zeke, I need to touch you." He sat up taking off his shirt while Talia removed her bra giving him even more access to her breasts.

Talia ran her hands up his chest. Each ridge of hard muscle rippled under her touch. He was the sexiest thing she'd ever seen. Zeke slid down on top of her. He kissed his way down her body. When he reached her jeans he looked at Talia waiting for her to ok him. She pushed his hands away. Quickly unzipping her jeans, she slid both jeans and panties down her legs.

Zeke sucked in a breath then unzipped his own jeans. Talia watched unabashedly as he stripped down for her. Seeing his hard length made her mouth turn into a desert. All she wanted was him inside her.

"Come here." She rasped.

"I'm not done with you yet." He lay back down with her.

In a swift move, Talia rolled on top of him. She smiled feeling his hard cock rub against her clit. She ran her hands over his chest. Leaning over she kissed him softly.

"I've got you now." She smirked.

Zeke squeezed Talia's hips. "You've always had me."

Talia's heart flipped with the intense love that shone from Zeke eyes. She couldn't say the words but she needed to show him how she felt. Slowly, Talia slid off of Zeke. Kneeling next to him she took his hard cock in her hand. The feel of the warm steel covered in satin had her feeling powerful.

She began pumping his hard member. A trickle of precum dripped out of his tip. Using her thumb she spread it over the head. Talia locked eyes with Zeke as she used her tongue to caress the head of his cock. A guttural groan came from him. A triumphant smile crossed her face.

Slowly, Talia took his length in her warm mouth. Her tongue followed the veins along the length as it pumped in and out of her mouth. Alternating between sucking and licking had Zeke writhing beneath her. He caressed her head as she bobbed on his hard cock.

As his cock met the back of her throat, she took his balls in her hand massaging them. Zeke wrapped her hair in his fist encouraging her to take more. The more she squeezed and sucked his hard length the closer she brought him to edge of his climax.

"Baby, you need to stop." He panted.

Talia ignored him and continued sucking his hard cock.

Zeke pulled Talia off of him then rolled her on to her back. The head of his cock slid inside her as he pinned her arms above her head.

"I wasn't done." Talia swollen lips pouted.

"We are coming together with me inside you. One day I am coming in that mouth but not today." Zeke traced her lips with his fingertip.

"Ok."

"Hold on let me get something." He reached for his pants.

"Don't!" Talia tilted her hips taking more than just his tip. "I'm on the pill. I want to feel you."

"Bareback? I've never done that." Zeke froze with a worried look on his face.

"I've never done it either. I want you to be the first."

"I want to be your first, last and forever." Zeke thrust forward sheathing himself completely.

"Oh God!" They moaned together.

"Your pussy fits my cock perfectly. I am the key to your lock."

Zeke thrust harder and faster. Talia wrapped her legs around him pulling him into her. His arms pulled her into a sitting position with his cock still sheathed and Zeke continued to pump inside her. Her breasts were pressed against his chest. Zeke claimed her lips. Sliding his tongue into her mouth. He plundered her mouth. He still tasted of the strawberries from dinner. Their kiss mimicked their love making.

Zeke held her close with one hand as the other snaked to the space between them. He found her clit and began strumming the bundle of nerves. Talia climbed closer to her climax with every strum of her clit. Alternating thrusts and flicks, her walls clamped around his hard cock.

"Lia!" He yelled as he thrust one final time.

"Zeke!" came out muffled as she buried her face in his neck and dug her nails into his shoulder holding on while she shuddered through her climax.

Their panting was the only thing they could hear. In that moment the two of them intertwined was all that existed. There were no waterfalls. There was no hooting owl. There was no glistening moon above. The world consisted of only them. This was what movies tried to portray but couldn't. Her heart was full of a love she thought she'd never feel and it's with a man for which she'd never thought she'd feel anything more than hate.

Zeke pulled them down remaining inside her. "That was something I'd never experienced before."

"It was fantastic."

He gave her a funny look. "Just fantastic? Have you done that before?"

Now it was Talia's time to give him a funny look. "Have sex? We did that not long ago."

"No. Make love. The connection I felt to you was something I've never felt with anyone else." He paused then looked at her. "And I don't want to feel this way with anyone other than you."

She stared into the deep pools of his eyes. What stared back had her melting. His beautiful soul shone back. Completely open to her, asking her to love him and want him in return. Something held her back though. The words wouldn't come. She wasn't ready.

Talia cleared her throat breaking the seriousness between them. "So, I didn't know you were so cheesey."

Zeke blanched. "What do you mean?"

In an imitation of his voice she said, "I'm the key to your lock."

"I was trying to be sweet." He squeezed her.

"Ok, cheeseball." She giggled making him smile.

"I love that sound." He kissed her nose.

"My 'I'm a ditzy blonde' giggle?"

"No. The 'I'm happy in Zeke's arms' giggle."

"See" she pointed to him, "cheesey."

"Romantic." He corrected.

"Nope you are-"

Zeke cut off her words with a scorching kiss. She felt him beginning to harden inside her again. He rolled her to her back framing her with his arms. Swiveling his hips his eyebrows wiggled telling her he was ready for round two. Talia's giggle turned into a moan as he began slowly rocking inside her. She was definitely ready for more Zeke.

***

Talia sat on the bed of the truck cuddled with Zeke. It was a warm night but on that ridge a chilly breeze cooled their warmed bodies. They listened to the waterfalls below. The beauty that surrounded them was nothing compared to the man sitting next to her. Her thoughts turned to how he'd be leaving to go away for a movie shoot soon and she'd return alone to L.A.

"What are you thinking about?"

"Nothing."

"Ok. I will guess then. Are you thinking about another round? I will understand if three wasn't enough."

Talia smacked his chest. "Your ego is so big."

He hugged her tighter. "What's on your mind, Lia?"

"I'm ok with you doing that."

"What?"

"Calling me Lia. As long as it's only you. I kinda like it when you do it."

Zeke kissed her hair. "Nice try. What are you really thinking about?"

Snuggling her face into his chest, she said, "I'm going to miss you when your gone."

He froze saying nothing.

"Zeke?" Talia sat up looking at him. His face was a mask of worry.

"What do you mean?"

"When you go away to shoot the movie."

Breath left him in a whoosh. "Oh. I'll be back before you know it babe."

"I know but I've gotten used to you being around."

"It took you long enough."

"Oh shut up."

Talia's phone buzzed. It was another email from Mel. Dread washed over her.

Two-Timing Talia At It Again

Looks like the Gossip Queen can't get enough of the spotlight. Poor Zee is getting cheated on yet again. This time a woman who should be grateful for his attention needs it from Max Hamilton, Zee's best friend. How low will she stoop next?

"What's wrong?" Zeke asked.

"Another email."

Taking her phone he looked at the picture of her and Max standing closely. At a glance it would look like an intimate moment. Talia couldn't even remember when that would have happened. Before Max left he was trying to improve their relationship, but not intimately.

"Another bullshit story." His words were calm but the look on his face showed the anger he was hiding.

"Yeah but it's another hit on my reputation. It's going to be horrible going back there without you."

"Maybe if we go back before I leave it could get better."

"No. It will be fine, but I just don't understand why this keeps happening." She looked at Zeke. "Did you talk to Max before he left?"

"Yeah. He denied everything. Surely, this proves it couldn't be him."

"I don't know." Talia sighed. "We should head back."

"Ok. But, I have to ask you something first." Talia looked at his handsome face. "Go to the festival with me?"

"I promised Chrissy I'd go with her."

"We can all go together. Please. I want to spend as much time with you as possible."

Talia nodded. Zeke moved off the truck bed to gather the blanketand picnic to leave. Something niggledat Talia. A feeling she'd had before butshrugged off. There was something shewas missing.
