"Can we watch this one?" Kash pointed to the TV screen as I scanned through the choice of kids movies on Netflix.

"This one?" I asked, pressing select and waiting for his response.

"Yes!" He clapped excitedly in response. Corri was just coming back into the living room as Kash was stretching out on his belly. We had just finished eating cheeseburgers and fries on a blanket on the floor. It was our version of an indoor picnic and Kash had absolutely loved it. Now we were settling in to watch a movie with me seated on the floor and leaning against the front of the couch. I motioned for Corri to join me and I grinned widely as she snuggled into my side. "Did he finally decide on something?" Corri mused while peering up at me.

"Mmm hmm," I hummed, zeroing in on the sight of her lips, plump and pink. I tightened my arm around her shoulder and drew her closer to my body. I dipped my head and caught her lips with mine, smiling when I heard her softly moan.

I curled a hand around the side of her neck, my fingers dragging up and down along the column of her throat. Angling my head more to deepen the kiss, I groaned as her tongue slipped into my mouth. This wasn't the best time to do this. But I was having a hard time convincing myself to stop.

"Dad...you're missing the movie."

Corri pulled back with a giggle and I was grateful when she pulled a pillow down from the couch and placed it on my lap, because big surprise, my dick was hard. It was nearly impossible to hide how much I wanted her. I wrapped my hands around her shoulders and eased her sideways so she could rest her head on the pillow. As we watched the movie, I dragged my fingers through her hair and brushed softly against the sensitive skin on the nape of her neck. As I did this, Corri made these soft little whimpering sounds, especially when I gently tugged her hair.

My mind started to wander and I thought about all the things I had to learn about her and her body. I had never wanted to go exploring so badly. Having my fingers on her skin and her body so close to me was perfect. I glanced up at Kash and noticed he was drifting off. I reached for the remote and paused the movie. "Time to get ready for bed, buddy."

He rose slowly, his eyes groggy with exhaustion. "Okay, Dad. Can Corri read me a story?"

I smiled at her as she sat up and nodded. "I'd love to."

Kash had changed into his pajamas and brushed his teeth in record time. I slipped out to the garage to start a load of our dirty clothes from the trip. When I arrived at Kash's door, I heard Corri's voice as she read to Kash. I peeked in and saw her sitting up next to him with a book in hand. When his eyes started drifting closed again, I cleared my throat and caught her attention. "Maybe Corri can read the rest next time you stay with us."

"I wanna stay here forever," Kash sighed with a yawn. "I really love my new room."

Corri beamed and leaned in to hug him. "I'm so glad you do."

Kash gave her a tight squeeze and with the softest voice, I heard him murmur, "I love you."

Corri froze for a second and then swallowed thickly. "I love you, Kash."

I circled the bed and leaned down to embrace them. "I love you both," I gushed with my heart bursting. When I came home from the trip today, I never expected this. I had never dreamed that Corri would do something that would affect Kash and I so profoundly. Now we had a home and what felt like a family. It was something I had been so desperate for as a child, something that was kept from me until I met Charlie. Now with the three of us hugging and cuddling in Kash's new bed, I was overcome with love for my son and this incredible woman.

Kash was still grinning when Corri turned on his race car night light and eased the door closed. I tugged on her hand and guided her to her new room. Once inside I closed the door and pressed her against the wall. "You've made him so happy," I mumbled with my lips hovering over hers.

"And I take it you're happy too?" she sighed, tipping her head back to look up at me.

"Very." I lowered my mouth to her neck and began peppering kisses there and to her shoulder.

"You know...I have a dresser over there that's all for you," she sighed as I worked my way up her neck and nibbled her earlobe softly.

"I'll move in tomorrow," I replied, nudging her head back with my nose.

"I thought you'd want to do it tonight."

I pulled back from her, enough to catch a glimpse of her face. Her brow was furrowed and her expression tight. "What's wrong? You seem nervous."

Corri blinked up at me and then looked away. "I'm just...I don't know what you expect."

"Expect?" I echoed, tilting my head as if it would help me figure her out. "I just wanna kiss you. That's okay, right?"

"That's all?"

I shrugged and ran a hand through my hair. "I mean I don't exactly have plans but I thought we could figure it out together."

I stood there watching my girl as she nibbled on the corner of her lip, obviously overthinking whatever she thought our next step would be. "Should I go sleep in my room upstairs?" I offered, hoping some space would put her at ease because right now I was hating how upset she looked.

She looked up with those big swirling hazel eyes and blew out a deep breath. "This is your room. I want you here...with me."

I took her hand in mine and guided us to the end of the bed. I sat down and tugged her into my lap. "Tell me what's wrong, Butterfly. What's got you so upset?"

As she sat across my thighs, with her legs draped over one side, I watched her fidget with her hands. Finally, she spoke. "I'm nervous about all this. I didn't put a whole lot of thought into asking you to move in with me and now we're here and I don't know what you want or if I'll be what you need..."

When she started to ramble, I cupped the side of her neck and pulled her close so I could kiss her. I brushed our lips together and held her close to me. When I pulled back, I shook my head. "This is about sex? You're scared...of having sex with me?"

I sighed when she buried her face in my neck. "I want to." She leaned back so I could see her face. "I mean I really want to."

She did have a look on her face that showed me she wanted me. But under that I could feel her wariness. "Do you think I expect sex now?"

Corri shrugged and snuggled closer. "I don't know. We've waited a long time. And I know you must be getting impatient."

"Oh, Corri," I chuckled. "I'm just so happy we've made it this far. We've been through so much. And honestly all I wanted to do was show you how grateful I am for what you did for Kash...and me. If that led to sex, well I wouldn't be mad about it. And I am having a hard time controlling myself around you, but please never confuse the random hard-on with pressure to do something you're not ready for. We waited 10 years for this. We can keep waiting."

"I just wouldn't want you to be disappointed," she replied with a small voice.

"There's no way that could ever happen," I murmured against the shell of her ear. "Anything we've done together so far has felt so good."

"We've barely done anything," she pouted. "And I've never been able to..."

I searched her face and waited for her to finish her thought. But the way she hung her head in shame, I started to put it all together. "Don't worry about that. And don't worry about your previous experiences either." I paused to hold her face in my hand. I locked in on her hazel eyes and saw doubt and worry there. "Anything we do together from now on will be a first for both of us. Because I've never felt this way for anyone. And as far as getting you there...well that's gonna be my goal from now on. And believe me when I tell you, it's a challenge I'm ready for."

When Corri opened her mouth to argue, I kissed her and let us melt together as we fell back against the mattress. I kept my touches light as my fingers explored her body. I listened to her little moans and purrs until I felt like I could burst with all the sexual tension between us. I pulled away slowly but breathlessly, hating that I needed to put the brakes on this. "I should go get a shower," I panted, rolling onto my back and staring up at the ceiling.

"Now?" she squeaked.

I chuckled and nodded in response. "Yeah I need to. We were traveling all day and besides," I paused to turn my head and glance at her. "I need to take care of something."

"Take care of..." her voice trailed off as she looked down at my tented basketball shorts and her eyes grew wide. "Oh."

I couldn't tell if that was a disgusted oh or a curious oh, so I stood up and tugged my t-shirt over my head and gauged her reaction. Like anyone else who frequented the gym, she had seen me walk around shirtless many times. But this was different. Maybe it was because she knew I was all hers, but the way she stared at my body was making the decision to walk away from her even harder.

"Can you do me a favor?" I asked, leaning over as she was still lying back on the bed. She nodded and licked her lips so I had to kiss her once and pull back before I got carried away. "Would you want to bring down some clothes from my room so I can change when I get out of the shower?"

Corri nodded numbly as her eyes continued to scan bare chest and it made me feel ten feet tall to know she liked what she saw. I tugged on her hands and pulled her up from the bed. Then, because I have absolutely no self-control, I walked her to the door with my mouth fused to hers and sent her off with a light pat to her backside. "Thank you, baby," I mumbled against her lips.

She disappeared down the hall and I took the time to retrieve my toiletries from the bathroom that Corri and I had always used and transferred them into the ensuite we would now be using. I was nearly done with my cold shower and was considering taking care of my little issue when I heard Corri step into the bathroom. I could see her there through the glass shower door, so I slid the door open just enough for me to pop my head out. I saw she had a stack of clothes sitting neatly on the counter, but she was still standing there. "Is everything okay?" I asked, pushing my wet hair out of my eyes so I could see her more clearly.

She nodded a little and stepped toward me. "I was just thinking about joining you," she admitted boldly.

Oh fuck. What would I do with a naked, soapy Corri on my hands? There was no way to be good. There was no way I couldn't touch her. And with the knowledge that no other man had made her come...shit that was a challenge couldn't back down from. But I still found myself opening the door wider and giving her an encouraging smile. Shyly, she turned her back to me and began tugging off her t-shirt and knit shorts. I turned back to the spray, adjusting the sub-zero freeze to a comfortable warm blast.

I still had my back turned when she shut off the light and left us in the dark. I heard the spark of a lighter and smelled the burning wicks of candles. The room lit up a little from the candles' light and the smell of orange spice filled the space. My body tingled from the anticipation of having her naked in front of me, but I stood still when she stepped in behind me and slid the glass door shut.

"I always knew you had a beautiful body, but God, Colt...look at you." Her voice was breathy and when her fingers splayed across my massive back, I had to hold back a shudder. I said nothing as she reached around to pull the soap-soaked sponge from my hands and began dragging it over my skin.

I let my body fall forward a bit, using both arms to lean against the shower wall. Her touches were soft as she explored me, fingers lingering over the swell of my ass just long enough to have my erection standing at full attention. I tried to keep my back to her, give her the space she needed to get comfortable in front of me, but I was failing miserably. I had to look.

I spun around slowly and forced eyes to stay on her face. She pulled her arms up to cover her chest, but only for a moment, because after that, all she could do was stare at me. Then she let the sponge take over, now brushing over my chest and spreading soapy bubbles over the sprinkling of hair there. As she moved lower, scrubbing the hard planes of my stomach, she let the sponge fall to the shower floor with a splat and her hands took over.

I finally let my gaze drift down her body, over her full breasts and the pointed peaks of her hard nipples, pink and puckered from the water and maybe even from the way I stared. "Fuck," I groaned, reaching out to touch her, but feeling hesitant until she arched her back and thrust those perfectly rounded mounds into my waiting hands. I marveled at how they fit just right into my big palms. I brushed the pads of my thumbs over her pebbled nipples and watched them become impossibly harder. "So soft," I uttered in fascination. Her skin, all wet and glistening in the sparse light of the candles felt slick under my touch. Smiles abounded as we both explored each other's wet bodies.

Corri peered up at me with wonder as her hand slid lower, tangling in the hair that led straight to my cock. "You're so hard," she marveled. "I guess you didn't get a chance to..." She couldn't say it. Her cheeks pinkened, maybe at the thought of me touching myself. Fuck, that thrilled me. When her fingers gripped my shaft and slid over the soap-covered skin, I groaned so loudly it was embarrassing.

Her gaze snapped to my face and I gave her an encouraging nod before squeezing a little bit of shower gel into her hand. She wasted no time stroking and twisting her hand over me and soon my hips were flexing and thrusting in time with her movements. "Fuck, I'm gonna..."

I had no words, no thoughts, just the feeling of her hand and the sight of her teeth biting hard into her bottom lip as I exploded over her stomach. My head fell back and I held back a moan as my body shook. It was humiliating to lose it so quickly, but this was better than any fantasy I could have conjured up in my sex-starved mind.

I lifted my head slowly and pulled Corri's hand from my cock. She was having too much fun and I was spent. I spun her around until her back was under the spray and my hands were skimming over her hair. She gasped as the water covered her body and my fingers went to work washing her hair before we ran out of water. "You're good at that," I murmured with a smirk. "The way you touched me was perfect, Butterfly."

Corri beamed proudly, her eyes still squeezed tightly shut as I rinsed the conditioner from her hair and got to work soaping her body. Every inch of her was smooth and soft. I knelt down to reach her feet, working my way up to the sensitive skin between her legs. I looked at her face and silently asked for permission to clean her there. Her were half-lidded as my fingers grazed the bit of blonde hair covering her mound. I kept my eyes on her face as I went further, letting one finger slide inside and causing her to nearly fold forward. With her hands on my shoulders, she held herself up and buried her face in the top of my head.

Beyond the obvious wetness from being in the shower, she was slick and I had to keep from moaning when I felt it. I used both hands on her hips to turn her and continue washing her backside. Once she was clean, I turned off the water, helped her out of the shower and wrapped her up in a fluffy towel. I blew out the candles and led her back to the bed. I could feel her disappointment when I didn't go further in the shower, but I knew we'd run out of hot water and what I planned to do to her needed more space. Corri shifted her body to move past me, but I lowered my mouth to her ear and growled, "Can I touch you now? I really need to make you come."

"I already told you that...oh!" she gasped when I pressed my lips to her neck and sucked her skin. "Yes," she panted, tugging on the towel I had wrapped tightly around my waist.

"This stays on," I argued gently, holding it in place. "I don't trust myself right now."

She didn't put up a fight when I eased her towel off of her body and let it fall to the floor. I guided her to lie in the middle of the made bed and situated myself beside her. I started off with my mouth on hers, waiting until her body relaxed before my fingers went coasting down her body. I ran my hand down the front of her thigh, hooking my fingers behind her knee and pulling her leg over my hip. She bent the other leg on her own and now she was fully open to me.

My lips began brushing down her neck and moving toward her breasts until I was licking around her areolas with precision. I had one hand around her back while the other one smoothed over her stomach. I had to look at her face as my fingers spread her open and found her sensitive bundle of nerves. Her back nearly came up off of the bed when I found her spot. My thumb circled her clit while I let one finger dip inside. We groaned together when I felt her tight and wet while I pushed inside. With my mouth still on her breast and my tongue still twirling around that turgid nipple, I plunged deeper and met her thrusting hips. She was close but I needed her all the way there. I wanted her squeezing around my fingers and destroying any doubt that this man would ever leave her unsatisfied.

Corri's back arched when I found just the right spot deep inside that had her grasping my wrist and moving me faster. We were both panting and writhing, my lips kissing every inch of visible skin until she threw her head back and gasped my name. Her body stiffened and then rocked endlessly while her tight channel spasmed. I watched in awe as she fell apart under my touch and I began easing out of her.

"Damn, baby," I grunted against her cheek as I held her close. Her quaking was starting to subside and I reveled in the way she snuggled into me.

"That was..." she breathed, laughing when she couldn't find the words to finish her thought.

"I know," I scoffed, feeling the exact same way.
