Chapter 15

Rhett

I slip my softening cock from Sofia's pussy. Kissing between her breasts before rolling to my side and bringing her with me. "I think you broke my dick," I joke in between panting breaths.

"Well, I think you broke my vagina, so we're even," she teases and then kisses my chin.

This weekend has been top-notch. She got here at eight-thirty yesterday and before she could even shut the door behind her, I had her pressed against the wall with my tongue in her mouth. Blindly I had reached out to shut the door and then grabbed her behind her thighs, lifting her.

We made it to the sofa and we were still partially dressed when I sank into her wet heat. We straightened and cleaned ourselves up afterward and then ate bowls of cereal. Then we snuggled in my bed watching movies.

That was how our weekend went, but I wouldn't change anything. Sofia told me she wasn't very experienced, but you wouldn't know it. She was so responsive to every touch, and willing to try anything.

"This has been the best weekend ever," I tell her, tipping her head back so I can kiss her.

Sofia wraps her arm around my middle and then pulls back. "I wish we could stay here forever." She smiles as she snuggles close.

I pull Sofia closer, savoring the feeling of her soft skin against mine. "Me too, baby. I wish we could just stay in this bubble forever."

She sighs serenely. "It's been perfect. Thank you for everything."

I kiss the top of her head. "You don't need to thank me. I love spending time with you."

We lie in comfortable silence for a while, just enjoying being close. Eventually, Sofia shifts to look up at me. Pouting, she says, "Reality is going to hit hard tomorrow morning when my alarm goes off at five thirty."

I groan dramatically. "Don't remind me. My twenty-four-hour shift starting at eight."

Sofia pouts adorably. "I'm going to miss you." She shoves herself even closer to me.

"I'll miss you too," I agree, kissing her forehead.

She pushes up and looks down at me. "Come over the day after tomorrow when I get done working. I'll make you dinner, and maybe… maybe you could spend the night at my place."

"That sounds good, baby." I kiss her lips and close my eyes.

We lie here in comfortable silence for a while, just enjoying being close. I find myself marveling at how natural and right this feels. I've never been one for cuddling or pillow talk after sex. I'm usually getting dressed and leaving shortly after I come.

Now, I could stay in bed for weeks with Sofia, just like this. I should be scared, I should be freaking out about how much I have fallen for her already, but I'm not… at all.

She starts breathing heavy and sinks deeper into me. I pull back and see she's out, closing my eyes it takes no time at all, thankfully, for me to fall asleep as well.

The alarm blares loudly, jolting me out of a deep sleep. I groan and reach over to silence it, careful not to disturb Sofia, who is still curled up against my side. As much as I want to stay in bed with her, I know I need to get up and get ready for my shift.

I gently extricate myself from Sofia's grasp, trying not to wake her. She stirs slightly but doesn't open her eyes. I take a moment to just look at her, admiring how beautiful she is even in sleep. Her red hair is tousled around her face, her lips slightly parted. I resist the urge to kiss her, not wanting to wake her up when she doesn't have to be up for a few more minutes.

After getting the coffee going, I take a quick shower, and I get dressed in my uniform. Back in my bedroom, I find Sofia pushing herself up in bed, her face soft with sleep. I crawl on the bed and brush her hair out of her face before kisses her softly on the lips.

"Good morning, beautiful," I say softly.

She smiles at me. "Good morning."

"I have to go, but I'm leaving spare keys on the counter for you to lock up when you leave." I kiss her one more time and lean back. "Fuck, I don't want to go."

Sofia gets up on her knees. "Go save lives and I'll see you tomorrow night." She shoves me away playfully. "Now go, so I can snoop through your drawers."

I smile as she giggles softly and then back away. "Okay, I'm going. I'll see you later." Before I walk out, I grab the spare keys out of my junk drawer and toss them on the counter for her. Walking out to my Jeep, I head to the station and I do it smiling.

I pull up to Sofia's apartment building excited to see her. Yesterday's shift felt even longer than usual, but knowing I had this to look forward to today made it tolerable. Earlier I managed to take a nap because I wanted to be rested up for tonight.

Grabbing my overnight bag from the passenger seat, I head inside, pressing the buzzer for her to let me in. I open the security door and jog up the stairs to her floor. I knock, smiling when I hear her footsteps approaching.

Sofia opens it with a bright smile. "Hey, you," she says, pulling me in for a kiss.

I wrap my arms around her waist, deepening the kiss for a moment before pulling back. "Mmm, I missed you," I murmur against her lips.

She tugs me inside, closing the door behind us. "I missed you too. How was your shift?"

I set my bag down and follow her into the kitchen. "Long, but not too bad. A couple minor calls, nothing major, thankfully."

Sofia leads me into the kitchen where amazing smells are coming from. "I'm glad it wasn't too crazy. I made us chicken parmesan for dinner. It should be ready in about ten minutes."

"It smells incredible," I compliment, wrapping my arms around her from behind and kissing her neck. "You didn't have to go to all this trouble."

She turns in my arms to face me, smiling up at me. "I wanted to. Plus, I know you probably haven't had a home-cooked meal in a while."

I smile down at her. "You're right about that. The guys and I usually just order takeout or make something quick at the station."

Sofia pushes up on her toes to kiss me softly. "Well then, I hope you're hungry."

"Starving," I murmur against her lips before capturing them in a deeper kiss.

We get lost in the kiss, so much so that I pick her up and set her on the counter. Moving between her legs, our tongues duel and my dick immediately gets hard. Of course, with her I feel that way all the time.

The timer goes off and I pull away. "Shit, sorry. I got a little carried away."

"Um… yeah. I better see to dinner." Sofia kisses me and then hops off the counter. "Have a seat while I finish up," she tells me before going to the oven.

Sofia moves gracefully around the kitchen, pulling the chicken parmesan out of the oven and plating it up alongside some pasta. The aroma is mouthwatering.

"This looks amazing," I tell her as she sets a plate in front of me at the small kitchen table.

She smiles, a light blush coloring her cheeks. "I hope you like it. It's one of my mom's recipes."

We dig in and I can't hold back a groan of appreciation at the first bite. "Oh my God, this is delicious," I say after swallowing.

Sofia beams at me. "I'm so glad you like it."

As we eat, we fall into easy conversation, catching up on the past couple days. I tell her more about my shift and she fills me in on her day with the kids at school. I love listening to her talk about her students—her whole face lights up when she describes their antics and accomplishments.

"Oh, and Zoe asked about you today," Sofia says with a grin. "She wanted to know when 'Mr. Rhett the firefighter' was coming to visit."

I chuckle. "Aw, that's cute. Sounds like I made quite an impression." Grabbing my phone, I show her where we hung up the pictures from her kids.

"You certainly did, and that is so sweet. I'll have to tell them that you hung them up," Sofia says softly, her eyes warm as she looks at me. "You know, you made quite an impression on me."

I reach across the table to take her hand, running my thumb over her knuckles. "Well, you've made quite an impression on me too."

We finish dinner, chatting and laughing together. After we're done eating, I insist on helping Sofia clean up. As we stand side by side at the sink, washing and drying dishes, I'm struck by how domestic and comfortable it feels. I could definitely get used to this.

Once everything is cleaned up, Sofia turns to me with a shy smile. "So, um, do you want to watch a movie or something?"

I pull her close, wrapping my arms around her waist. "A movie sounds good. But first..." I lean down and capture her lips in a slow, deep kiss.

Sofia melts against me, her arms coming up to wrap around my neck. I let my hands wander down to her hips, pulling her flush against me. When we finally break apart, we're both breathing heavily.

"Or we could skip the movie," Sofia suggests, her blue eyes dark with desire.
