Steph's POV

I had missed Cal fiercely the first part of the week and was so excited when I saw him tonight. Honestly, I would have driven to Trenton just to visit him; my niece's birthday was just a good excuse so I didn't look too attached so quickly. Of course, if his texts and phone calls were any indication, he was missing me just as much. I had to chase Dickie for any show of affection or kindness but Cal constantly makes it a priority to show me that I'm important to him and that he cares about me. That was just one of the millions of things that I loved about Cal. Wait! What?! I can't think about that right now.

I had detoured to the mall earlier today on my way to Trenton to make a stop at Victoria's Secret for something special for tonight. Cal and I had been intimate a couple more times since that first life-changing, earth-shattering time after we came back from the beach, and every time was even more incredible than the time before. And let me tell you, the times before were really damn amazing!

Anyway, I ran into Vicky's to grab something as a treat to Cal. I settled on some deep blue lace cheekies and a matching silk cami that was lined with black lace. I got home after meeting Cal and set about getting all dolled up for my man. I showered, shaved, exfoliated, buffed, waxed, and moisturized every inch of my body. Cal loved my hair down, so I tamed it into looser waves and spritzed on some perfume. It was empowering and made me feel sexy that he thought I was just as beautiful without makeup as I was with, so I just swiped on one coat of mascara and some pink lip gloss and then slipped into my new purchases. I felt confident and desirable, and just anticipating Cal's reaction was making me all kinds of turned on.

A few minutes before Cal should arrive, I turned off the TV and moved to the bedroom. I lit a couple of candles and turned the lights down low, fluffed the pillows, and situated myself in bed to give him a great view when he walked in the room. I didn't have to wait long before I heard his key in the lock and then the door being shut and locked behind him.

"Angel?" he called from the living room.

"I'm in the bedroom, sexy," I answered. God, I couldn't wait to have him in bed next to me.

I heard his heavy boots coming toward me and fluffed my hair once more. "It's so good to be here tonight, baby. I missed you so damn…"

Cal's voice trailed off when he stopped in the door and looked at me. His eyes immediately went dark and I could feel the sexual energy ratchet up.

"I've missed you, too," I said when he just stood there.

Cal finally started moving toward me, dropping his bag on the way. "Damn, I'm one lucky son of a bitch. You look gorgeous, Steph," he said as he approached me. He leaned down and kissed me as I breathed in his unique scent.

"I wanted to do a little something nice for you," I explained.

"This isn't a little something nice. Coming to see me at dinner was a little something nice. This is fucking amazing," he replied with a panty-ruining grin.

"I'm glad you like it. Now ditch the utility belt, boots and whatever other weapons you have strapped on and come let me touch you," I instructed him.

"Ma'am, yes ma'am," Cal practically growled. He set his utility belt and clutch piece on my dresser and slipped his boots off and then slid in bed next to me. "I don't know what I did to deserve you, but I'm damn sure glad," he murmured as his eyes raked over me and he ran his hands down my arms.

"Well, you have been a very good boyfriend," I practically purred.

"Oh yeah?" Cal teased as he kissed from my ear to my shoulder.

"The best I've ever had," I replied seriously. I'm surprised I could talk at all with what his mouth was doing to me though.

"Then I'm doing something right," he mumbled. He moved the straps of my cami down my arms and showered my arms and chest with kisses. I couldn't take it anymore and pulled his shirt up and over his head, forcing him to pause his efforts to kiss every bit of my body for a minute. His lips and tongue were back on me the moment I freed him from his shirt and I was one happy woman. Cal was nothing but thorough in his love making.

I groaned when I saw his gorgeous chest and ran my hands down his beautifully sculpted abs. The man was built like a god. I rolled his nipple between my thumb and finger and smiled as I heard him hiss in pleasure. He had a definite thing for that. He lifted his head and took my lips with his in a searing kiss that had me dripping wet and becoming frantic.

"Patience, baby. I'll take care of you," Cal instructed me, and I might have whined a little.

"But I need you," I argued. This man did crazy things to me.

"Don't make me force you to be patient," he warned me. But damn if I didn't like the sound of that.

"If you think you're man enough then go ahead," I sassed him. So what if I was pulling the tiger's tail intentionally? I know damn good and well I'll like the result.

"You asked for it, Angel," Cal growled. He disappeared into my closet and reappeared a minute later with two scarves in his hands. Before I could blink he had used them to secure my hands to the headboard. "You're completely at my mercy now."

"It's a damn good place to be," I shot back.

Cal dove for my mouth again and tangled his tongue with mine. I swear, that man could make me cum just from kissing me. He settled himself between my hips and I bucked into him in frustration.

"Good things come to those who wait," he teased me.

"As long as I'm the only one you're making cum."

"Damn straight!" he barked. He kissed his way down my neck and worked my cami down my chest and hips until I was lying there in just my cheekies. He licked, nipped, and kissed my chest until I was a writhing mess and then descended down toward the promised land.

When he dipped his tongue into my belly button I moaned, and I wanted to do a happy dance when he finally pulled my panties off. His eyes glazed over and he stared down at me hungrily when I was naked in front of him.

"Holy shit. Just when I think you couldn't get any sexier, you go bare," he said in awe.

"I thought it could be fun," I explained sheepishly.

"I'll make damn sure it's fun," he growled. He lowered his mouth to my dripping core and lapped up my juices, driving me crazy with need. He licked me thoroughly and I came hard as he curled his fingers inside of me and sucked on my clit.

"Please, Cal," I begged as I came down. "Please, I need you inside me." This man made me insane with need.

"As you wish, Angel." He stood up and unbuttoned his pants. My mouth went dry as he lowered them to the floor and I got to see the rest of his perfect body. I don't think I'll ever get tired of seeing Cal and getting to be with him.

"Me either, Steph," he said softly. He kissed me before I could reply and untied my hands as he pulled back. "I need to feel you touch me, too," he explained.

I wrapped my arms around him and ran my hands up and down his back, enjoying the feel of his bare skin. Cal went to reach for the nightstand and I stopped him.

"Cal, Sweetheart, you don't have to if you don't want to. I mean...I'm on the pill and I'm clean. I've actually never had sex without a condom," I rambled. "I just thought it would be nice."

Cal looked into my eyes for a minute and then kissed me. "I haven't either, Steph. I've never trusted anyone enough. Are you sure you're okay with that?"

"Positive," I assured him. "I mean, if you're okay with it."

"I trust you," he replied softly. And just like that, I melted. What had started out as playful, and maybe a bit frantic on my part, turned tender and sweet. I wrapped my arms around Cal's neck and kissed him deeply as he slid into me. He stopped for a moment when he was fully inside me and kissed my forehead, my cheeks, my nose, and then my lips. "I care about you so much." It was a whispered confession that made my heart soar.

"I'm so happy that you do, because I've never cared for anyone like I care for you, Cal," I whispered in response.

He took my lips again and kissed me like I was the most precious thing in the world as he began moving inside of me. Our bodies were pressed close together, touching as much as possible, and our arms were wrapped around each other tightly. This wasn't sex; this was the merging of two people into one soul. I poured my heart into kissing and caressing his body as he moved above me. The last time Cal and I had sex, I had screamed his name as I came. This time as we made love we both went over the edge with whispered affections that I would never forget.

Cal rose up from the bed a few minutes later and blew out the candles and turned off the lamp. Then he slid back in next to me and pulled me into his arms.

"Thank you, Angel. That was the most amazing experience of my life," he whispered in the dark as he held me.

"Mmm...every experience with you is amazing but there aren't words to describe tonight," I replied sleepily before drifting off to sleep in his arms.
