I growled from deep within my chest. There was something about hearing her say these words to me that sent me over the edge.
It wasn’t until she spewed, “Is it just my body that you want, Mr. Sinclair?”
That made me lose my restraint.
The scent of her was eating away at me. She still smelled like honey and with me between her legs, it wasn’t helping my restraint to remind her who she belonged to.
“I want more than just your body, beauty.” I placed my hand over her heart. “I want your love.”
I saw it clear as day.
The boundary she set for us was suddenly blurred, and she couldn’t find the line she’d drawn when it came to me.
“Tell me you don’t want this… tell me you don’t want me…”
She sucked in a breath.
“Why are you doing this to me?”
“Because I still lo?—”
She crashed her mouth onto mine.
The taste of her.
Feel of her.
Scent of her.
After all these years…
I branded myself into her.
Hundreds of thoughts and questions crossed my mind, but I reluctantly pushed them all away when I shouldn’t have. Something was agonizing and desperate in the way my mouth moved against hers while she tried to follow the momentum of my lips.
Her hands reached up, but I intercepted them. I couldn’t let her touch me. If I did, it would be game over for me, and I’d take her to my bed. This was already bad enough. She was drunk, and I couldn’t help but feel as if I was taking advantage of her. Despite how much I wanted this.
Wanted her.
Craved her.
After all these years, she owned me.
From my mind, to my heart, to my soul.
She was mine.
How could I let this happen? How could I let her slip through my fingers when she was all I ever wanted?
I growled at the thought. It was a clusterfuck of emotions of what I put her through. I needed to stop this madness, but Christ, she felt amazing, and I couldn’t bring myself to kill this undeniable connection we had between us since day one.
What the fuck are you doing? This isn’t the way. I was better than this. She deserved more.
“Elias…” she breathlessly moaned.
At that moment, I knew she’d let me make love to her, but there was no way in hell I’d let it happen this way. That was all I needed to instantly back away from her, leaving her there all alone.
On the counter.
