[ethan had never known it could be like this either.
he'd thought about it before, imagined it once he realized how he felt about her, but he never could have anticipated how it would feel to be with her. there is absolutely nothing like it on any universe. it is theirs and theirs alone (best friends and girlfriend and boyfriend and then to be married later, but it did always start at that very important place. being best friends). god, there is nothing at all like this.
ethan comes. he comes with her, crying out too, crying out her name in a near worshipful way as his fingertips drag down the side of her in complete and utter-- fuck. literally. before they slump together on top of that counter, laughing, breathlessly.
he leans into her touch as her fingers catch in his hair, and he smiles wide at that mmm against his neck.] Thought that was it. You deserved to have a good fuck after your very difficult day so I'm glad I had the gloves on to give me that extra edge of being extra irresistible. [his voice is raspy too and low as he kisses along the side of her neck with a soft smile.]
