[Wesley's POV]

River found me out in the hall, the worried expression on her face relaxed into relief when she saw me.

"Wes? It's been a minute, are you ok?" I loved that she couldn't stay away from me for long, but tonight she seemed to be a little more worried than usual.

Silas was right, not about ending it but I needed to tell her the real reason I was here and that I probably wasn't going to be here for long.

"I need to-" 

She got on her tippy toes and kissed me, her hand snaked to the back of my neck, bringing me closer to her. It was desperate like she was starving and couldn't get enough of me. I kissed her back, letting her know how much I wanted this, how much I wanted her.

When I broke away she smiled, a wondering look in her eyes. "Sorry, I've been wanting to do that all night."

Her eyes flickered to something behind me and I turned around to see what it was. Why the fuck was she so distracted when I needed to tell her something important? 

The ladies' bathroom. 

When I turned back to look at her, she was biting her lip in an attempt to hold back a smile. Her eyes pleading with me.

Fuck, she didn't have to ask me twice.

I loved that she had such a big appetite. I took her hand and dragged her to the bathroom. When I realised she struggled to keep up with my long strides in her heels, I turned around to throw her over my shoulder. When I cracked my palm over her supple ass she broke into a fit of giggles.

I put her down when we were on the other side of the door and kissed her. She whispered against my lips to lock the door. I blindly reached back for the barrel bolt as she kissed me senselessly. I slid the lock in place when I found it.

The sound of the locked door was music to my ears. She had to walk back to the granite countertop, there was a huge mirror facing us. Watching her kiss my neck and fiddle with my shirt buttons nearly drove me over the edge.

I needed to get her out of this dress. My hands searched for the zip but I was getting increasingly frustrated.

She broke our kiss and spun around. We locked eyes in the mirror, her eyes were clouded with desire and she was breathing heavily. "It's at the back."

Just like she said, at the base of her spine there was a zip. Hallelujah, because Lord knows if I didn't find it I was going to rip this thing off her.

I pulled it down slowly watching her, watch me in the mirror. I place a kiss on her exposed shoulder. If I didn't let these three words out, I was going to choke on them. "I love you River."

Her face softened but I didn't give her time to respond, because her dress fell away, leaving her in nothing but her six-inch Louis Vuittons and black lacy underwear. Her breasts were so full they looked like they needed support and my hands were only too eager to oblige.

I gently fiddled with her nipples as I nibbled on her sweet spot behind her ear. She rested her head against my shoulder to give me full access. Her breathing was laboured and I let one hand glide down her belly. Her eyes popped open when my fingers disappeared into her panties.

We held eye contact as I worked her clit in slow circles. Her hips followed the rhythm, grinding her ass against me.

"You're so fucking stunning you know that?" Her breathing got choppier in response. "I hate that you never believe me..."

"Wes..." She half moaned, half cried. "You make...you make me feel... stunning."

That alone almost made me lose control. I applied more pressure, picking up speed. Her hand gripped mine, her nails clawing at my arm.

"Do you want me to stop?" She shook her head and moaned my name at the same time. I smiled. River was probably the most opinionated woman I know. I loved that I could get her to a point where all she could do was breathe my name.

And then she came crashing down from her climax. Her body released tension as she deflated against me, calling my name over and over again. She was so wet, I could smell it.

"I know baby, I know." I stuck my fingers in her mouth and she latched on. Sucking it like she would my cock and the guy in question twitched. I pulled my finger out with a pop and I helped her shimmy out of her panties. I put the lacy piece in my pocket as a souvenir for later.

She turned around. I helped seat her on the countertop and her legs parted immediately. The sight literally brought me to my knees, I needed to taste her but she stopped me.

"Now Wes, please." When I straightened to my full height, she sat forward and attacked my belt buckle. Her hands were shaking. I stilled her hand and kissed her, unable to hold back my chuckle against her lips.

"Patience my love."

"Please Wes, I've been thinking about this all night." She breathed out.

Anything for my River. I made short work of the remaining barriers between us. Her one leg hooked around me and pulled me to her. My lips found hers, swallowing the moan she released when I gave her the connection she craved.

River had acquired a taste for rough. She liked it fast and hard, but today? Right now, I wasn't going to give her that. I need her to know I loved her. No matter what I told her after this, she needed to know that I loved her.

I broke our kiss so I could look at her as I created a gentle rhythm between us. "I love you River."

"Oh, Wesley." She moaned, tears pooling in her eyes. Her nails scraped my scalp. I picked up speed because we both needed it.

"Wes!" Her nails clawed at my back in an attempt to bring me closer.

"I don't think I'll ever find anyone like you in this lifetime..."

"Oh God!"

"You're it for me. Fuck!" She started pulsating and I couldn't hold back any longer. This was a first for me, reaching a climax with my lover simultaneously. But then again everything that mattered with her was a first. I buried my face in her neck as we took a moment to catch a breath. She smelled like something sweet. But I couldn't quite put my finger on it.

I straightened to look at her. She had her eyes closed and leaned against the mirror. The mirror that was now fogged.

"We should go before they send out a search party for you..." She opened her eyes, they were shining with satisfaction.

"I suppose." 

She slid off the counter and I had to help steady her. She then went into one of the cubicles to no doubt clean herself off. I got dressed and picked up the pool of red material on the floor, straightening it out for River to step back into.

When she came back out, I helped her back into her dress. I unsuccessfully tried to talk her into another around but she insisted that Silas and Lucy needed her.

"I'll leave first and and you can leave five minutes later."

I wanted to tell her that Silas knew, there was no need for this sneaking around but this wasn't the time. I'd let her have a perfect night tonight and I'd tell her everything tomorrow. She was worried enough.

"Fine."

It was only after she left that I realised she had forgotten her clutch. Her phone inside starting ringing so loudly. The person on the other end was persistent too. On the fifth attempt I fished it out with the intention of silencing it when the four letters flashing across the screen nearly made my knees buckle.

D-A-N-A

Surely it wasn't-

Before I could remind myself that I was crossing a boundary, I answered it. 

"River?" Funny how you can never forget a voice. "River I need to see you. Right now, I know he's at that fancy event thing. I'm here in the parking lot. Please."
