He pressed his hand over her mouth, muffling any further noises as he increased his pace. The headboard of the bed began to creak softly against the wall, a rhythmic accompaniment to his thrusts. "Fuck," he breathed, his body tensing. "You feel so good... So tight around me." He felt her clench around him again, her body on the verge of release. With a final, powerful thrust, Zack buried himself deep inside her and let out a low growl of pleasure as he came inside her. At the same time, Anna's orgasm washed over her and her body shook slightly underneath Zack. Zack collapsed on top of Anna, his body heavy and spent. He stayed inside her for a long moment, his breath coming in ragged gasps against her neck. "Fuck," he murmured, his voice thick with satisfaction. "That was... Incredible." He slowly pulled out of her, rolling onto his side and pulling her close against him. His arm wrapped possessively around her waist, holding her tightly. "See?" he said, pressing a kiss to her shoulder. "This is what you've been missing out on." 'He wasn't wrong. No one else had ever made me feel like this. This one guy who came close... He never lasted this long, and he didn't always leave her satisfied.' Zack's hand slid down to rest on her hip, his thumb tracing lazy circles on her skin. "You're mine now," he declared softly. "And I'm not letting you go."
Anna sighed, her previous thoughts of regret resurfacing. "I only missed out on this before, because I didn't know you liked me. Idiot," she said breathless. Zack chuckled, the sound low and satisfied. "Yeah, well, I'm an idiot who made you feel amazing," he retorted, pressing a kiss to Anna's temple. He shifted in her bed, making the bed feel smaller than it felt before, with his large body taking up all the space. He pulled her even closer until her body was completely flush against his. His hand moved from her hip to her stomach, his fingers splaying possessively over her skin. "And now you know," he murmured. "So, there is no excuse next time. You're not allowed to even look at another guy." Anna's breath hitched. 'Is her saying what I think he is saying or...' Zack's lips trailed down her neck, placing soft kisses along the way. "You are stuck with me, brat. Better get used to it."
Zack nuzzled into the crook of Anna's neck, inhaling her scent. "And just so we are clear," he added, his voice a low growl, "this is just the beginning." Anna looked past his shoulder to her bedroom wall. 'What did that mean? Weekly booty calls? Or...' Anna wanted to ask so badly but was worried the answer would disappoint her. More so, that she would disappoint herself again, allowing another guy to just have his way with her. So, instead of asking for clarification, she softly said, "I've always liked you, you know. More than I should have..." Zack's body went still at her confession. He lifted his head to look her in the eyes and his green eyes searched hers in the dim light of the room. Every second was like torture. 'Is he going to laugh? Call her naive again? Would he be mad that I was too clingy, or would he be upset in the same way I was when I heard he wanted me after all this wasted time?' A slow, genuine smile spread across his face, one that reached his eyes and made the crinkle in the corners. "Really?" he asked, his voice softening. "Even when I was being a complete asshole to you?" Anna dreaded to tell him yes, to admit she was so twisted or weak.
Zack tightened his arm around her. "You are such a good girl," he murmured, pressing a gentle kiss to her forehead. "Too good for me." Anna tried not to roll her eyes, 'if he knew... If he had known some of the things I had done... How stupid I had been... He wouldn't think that.' His hand moved from her stomach to her breast, cupping it gently this time. "But that just means I have to keep you close," he said, his thumb tracing lazy circles around your nipple. "So, no one else can steal you away." Anna's hand moves to his chest, her palm flattening against his tight muscles, and then she pushed him away lightly. "I don't know if this makes up for everything Zack. You... You can't just fuck away all the memories of you being cruel to me..." she said with a straight face, hoping he wouldn't see through the lie. She had already decided to forgive him when he called her beautiful. She hated that, that was all it took. That she was so weak. But she had to make sure he wouldn't misuse her. She couldn't go through that again.
Zack's smile faltered, a flicker of vulnerability crossing his face. He let her push him away, but kept his hand on her breast, his thumb continuing its gentle caress. "I know," he said quietly. "One round of mind-blowing sex isn't going to erase everything." He leaned in closer, his lips brushing against hers. She didn't try to stop him. "But it's a start, right? A promise of what's to come." His other hand came up to cup her cheek, his thumb tracing her lower lip. "Let me make it up to you," he murmured. "Let me show you every day, how much I regret being an idiot." He pressed a soft kiss to her lips, then another, and another. Each one was gentle, full of tenderness he rarely showed. "Stay with me tonight," he whispered against her mouth. "Let me hold you and prove that I can be better." Anna sat up and looked toward her bedroom door and said, "Are you kidding? If my brother sees us like this... He'll kick your ass and tell my dad, who will ground me."
