down onto it. Slowly lowering himself down onto me, he kisses my chest and rubs little circles onto my hips with his thumbs. My fingers find his waistband and I push his basketball shorts down. He moves down lower, continuing to kiss me until he comes to my bellybutton.
    His hands trace the waistband of my underwear, teasing me with his touch and making me need the contact. He lowers his head and kisses me through the lace, scraping the stubble on his chin against me as he does. I arch my back, trying to bring him closer to me. His hands slide my underwear down my legs, leaving me completely vulnerable to him.
    Shawn stands and moves over to his dresser and I hear the sound of plastic ripping. He must be grabbing a condom. Is it wrong that I’m disappointed by this? I’ve always used them, but I hate them. Right now all I can think about is being able to feel him with no barriers between us. I sit up on my elbows. “What would you say to not using one of those? I’ve been on the pill for years and I really hate them.”
    I can’t gauge his reaction at first. After a minute Shawn smiles at me, tosses what I can only guess is the condom at the trash, and then comes back over to me. “You sure this is what you want?”
    I nod my head, because I am so full of anticipation and need that it’s almost impossible to form words.
    He moves so we are now face to face again, and then kisses my lips more gently than before. “Happy Birthday, beautiful.”
    Shawn pushes into me, instantly filling me with all of him and making me gasp from the intensity of it. He lowers his mouth to my breasts and begins to kiss them as he starts to move in and out of me. I lace my fingers through his hair, giving him the occasional tug when he uses his teeth.
    Then he sits up on his knees so he has more control. His pace speeds up and it feels amazing. His hands move down my body until he finds my clit. When his fingers start to move, I can no longer control all the sounds that are coming out of my mouth. I’ve had sex a few times before, but it was never anything like this. I’m already so close to my release and we’ve just started.
    Shawn pulls out of me, and before I know what’s happening, he flips me onto my stomach. I lift myself up and he pulls me so I’m now pressed up against him. Kissing my neck, he makes sure to hit the spot behind my ear that I love. When he pulls away, his hand rests on my upper back and pushes me down toward the bed. Slowly easing back into me, he moves his hands so they’re gripping my hips.
    This time, when he begins to move, it’s so fast and animalistic that I can’t contain the screams. I’m so close, and before I know it, my whole world explodes.
    “Fuck, you feel so good, babe.” He starts to slam into me even quicker, which I didn’t even think was possible. After a minute, he groans and begins to slow down. We collapse onto the bed together and I rest my head on his chest, turning so I’m looking at him, and smile.
    “What?”
    “I think that was the best birthday gift I’ve ever gotten.”
    He laughs and kisses the top of my head. “Do you want to stay the night?” I nod my head. “Okay, good.” I get up so I can go to the bathroom and grab the clothes Shawn had given me earlier. I’m suddenly very aware of the fact I’m naked, so I grab the blanket and wrap it around me. “Babe, why are you covering up?”
    “I don’t know, I’m going to jump in the shower, though.” I all but run out of the room. I don’t know why I’m so self-conscious. I turn the shower on and climb in under the water. I can’t stop smiling. Once I’m finished, I put on the clothes Shawn had given me. When I walk back into the room, he’s still lying down, and I crawl under the sheets with him. He wraps his arms around me, pulling me close to him.
    “Goodnight, beautiful.”
    Every time he calls me I get goose bumps. I close my eyes, and for the first time in a while, I’m happy.
