Thank you so much for the reviews, favorites and follows! :-)

This is the last 'real' chapter. There will be a small epilogue. But that's it.

Chapter 18

She hadn't realized that he had carried her to the bed at some point. She had slept like a rock after the emotional turmoil of the last day, and felt refreshed and rested now.

She was stretching herself like a cat when the door cracked open and Killian walked in, balancing a tray on his hand, and she inhaled deeply the scent of fresh brewed coffee as he sat it down on the night stand and leaned forward to brush a kiss over her lips.

"Breakfast in bed for my gorgeous girlfriend."

He grinned down at her, caging her in between his arms and her heart clenched in her chest, and a lump formed in her throat. Lifting her hands, she cupped his face and pulled him down to give him a real kiss before she leaned back and skimmed her fingers over his scruff, his blue eyes twinkling down at her and the words just slipped over her lips, suddenly it was just easy.

"I love you."

He stiffened, but only for a brief moment, before the smile split up his whole face and he hauled her into his arms, the tray almost crashing down on the ground as he pulled her onto his lap and kissed her passionately.

"I ... I wasn't sure if you ... I was afraid that you ... that I only imagined ... that I shouldn't hope ..." He stuttered, drawing in a deep breath. "Let me start from the beginning."

He flipped her around, a silly giggle bubbling out of her as he intertwined his fingers with hers and pressed their entwined hands into the mattress beside her head, the sudden seriousness in his eyes stealing her breath away.

"I love you." He said softly, his voice cracking on the last word. "I love you, Emma Swan. I thought I could never find love again in my life. Until I met you."

His mouth found hers again, kissing her lazily while his hands roamed over her body, helping her out of her clothes. His following only moments later, his naked body pressing against hers, his arousal digging into her thigh as he lowered his head and sucked one nipple into his mouth. Teasing her, taunting her. His fingers trailing lower, parting her folds, sliding into her, and when she tumbled over the edge the first time he slipped into her, burying himself until the hilt, groaning softly as her walls clenched around him, his body arching above hers as he waited until the last ripples ceased before he started moving inside of her.

It was insane. She didn't think they had ever made love like that before. His thrusts seemed eons apart, his fingers and mouth were everywhere, worshipping her body, giving her orgasm after orgasm, denying himself to fall over the edge with her, but always staying inside of her. She didn't know how he was able to hold out for this long, but he did.

She felt boneless, her body exhausted from too many orgasms, but he still hadn't come and she needed him to, needed to feel him stiffen inside of her, but she wasn't sure she could take it any longer.

Pushing him back, she scrambled up on her knees, looking defiantly over her shoulder, her eyes trailing down his body to his rigid erection, glistening wet with her arousal and she licked her lips, heard him take in a sharp breath, and she dropped down on her elbows, stretching her ass into the air.

She didn't need to say anything. He knew what she wanted, and he reached for her waist, aligning himself at her entrance before slamming into her until the hilt with one swift jerk of his hips, making them both gasp.

Her walls were already sore, and her legs trembled as he started moving, thrusting deep into her with each plunge, and suddenly his finger was back between her legs, finding her clit.

"No, I ... I can't take another." Emma whimpered as he slid one finger back and forth over her over sensitive bud. "Killian, I ..."

"Emma, I need you to come around me one last time. I just ..." He panted behind her, his hips slapping against her ass as he took her hard, their skin both slick with sweat as he pounded mercilessly into her. "I need you."

She didn't think she could come another time but then his finger rubbed harder over her clit, and she moaned, burying her face into the sheet. It hurt. Her walls were stinging slightly from being stretched over such a long time, her bud was pounding as he flicked his finger over it, but somehow he managed to still get her close again, and she let out a scream when her stomach clenched and her walls fluttered around him, her body slumping down onto the bed as another orgasm rippled through her, and his fingers dug into her waist as he chased after his climax, her walls still gripping him tightly as he slammed into her. Once. Twice. His third thrust bringing him his own release, a guttural grunt rumbling out of his chest as he fell forward, his hips jerking against her as he emptied himself in her.

She didn't know how they managed to untangle themselves and crash down on the mattress but they did, and a shiver ran over her body as her heart calmed down and the sweat started to dry on her skin.

He shifted beside her, throwing the blanket over both of them and pulling her against his chest, his still damp hair tickling her as she pressed a kiss against his skin and wrapped her arm around his waist, writhing around until she found a comfortable position, listening to his heart beating steadily under her ear.

"Do you think we will make it?" She whispered, wondering if he was even still awake, but his arm tightened around her, his leg slipping between hers.

"Yes." He rasped. "I think we will make it."

"Good." She murmured, letting her eyes fall shut as she snuggled deeper into his embrace. "That's good."
