off. Jade moaned at the sight of his long, thick shaft, standing erect and ready to pleasure her. Ace seemed to enjoy the effect the sight of it had on her, because he paused for a moment to let her take in the view. Then he let out another growl, louder this time, and repositioned Jade so she was lying on her back on the couch. He straddled her with his knees, which was a tight squeeze even on Jade’s wide couch. If it was difficult to balance that way, though, Ace didn’t seem to be notice. His focus was on one thing, now. His eyes met Jade’s, and she felt herself once again melting under the heat of his gaze. He hovered above her for just a few moments, his dick stiff and poised right above her entrance. He let his eyes slide over her naked body, taking it in again with appreciation, before sliding into her. She gasped, and her eyes flew open as he filled her. She’d thought that the pressure he had applied with his fingers had been intense, but the pressure of his dick inside of her was a new level altogether.
    Jade let herself be lost in the new sensations that were flooding over her body. She closed her eyes and enjoyed the rhythm of Ace’s body as he thrust into her over and over. For a full minute, the only sound in the dark room was her heavy breathing joined with Ace’s, punctuated by an occasional grunt from Ace as he moved inside of Jade. When Jade reached the point where she could barely hold back anymore, she let out a few happy whimpers. Ace had her on the verge of exploding once again, and she pushed her hips up against his as she felt the impending tsunami coming close to overtaking her. She panted, gasping for air as she enjoyed a final few thrusts of Ace’s body before the wave overtook her.
    Then she screamed, crying out his name with passion as she rode the surf of wave after wave of pleasure. She lost herself completely in the moment, unaware of anything except the heat and electricity pulsing through her body as her muscles clenched hungrily around Ace’s shaft inside of her. He continued thrusting for several moments, and then, with a giant roar, he found his own wave of passion to ride. He stiffened, and came into her with a pulsing hot stream.
    For a significant stretch of time, neither one of them spoke, or moved. They both lay there, trying to catch their breath as their naked skin glistened, sweaty from the exertion of making love. Finally, Ace gently slid out of Jade and snuggled back down next to her.
    Your body is incredible,” he said. “But that’s not surprising, since the rest of you is incredible, too.”
    Jade smiled shyly. “Thanks,” she said. “You’ve got a pretty stellar body yourself.”
    “It’s yours, anytime you want it.”
    Jade closed her eyes for a moment and sighed. “Well, then, I’d have to say I’m a pretty lucky girl.”
    Ace kissed her forehead and shook his head. “Don’t be silly,” he said. “I’m the lucky one.”
    Then he snuggled in next to her, wrapping the blanket around them again before drifting off to sleep. Jade took longer to fall asleep. Her mind was racing from the excitement of everything that had happened this evening, and she needed some time to come down from the incredible high she had just been on. She found herself peering over the side of the couch, squinting to see the stars again from the living room window.
    She was hoping to see another shooting star, but all of the stars twinkled in place.
    Jade grinned, and mentally kicked herself as she realized that she was still searching for some sort of sign. But why? She knew, as she felt the rise and fall of Ace’s sleeping chest, that she had found exactly where she needed to be.
    Her days of searching for a sign were over.

    As the weeks passed, Ace and Jade spent every possible spare minute together. By April, things had slowed down for Jade at work, so she and Ace were able to spend some time together relaxing. They discovered a mutual love for the cinema,
