But I had planned to.
I wanted both my parents to meet him. I’d wanted him to meet them, too.
“I can get you on a flight tonight,” he says.
No, No… I don’t want to leave him.
“Tomorrow morning then.”
Am I speaking out loud? Is he reading my thoughts?
“Drew.” He strokes my face and I feel that, but the rest of my body is numb. I’m not equipped to deal with a crisis.
“Say something,” he whispers.
“I’m scared.”
He wraps his arms around me, pressing his chest to mine and his mouth to my neck, warming my frozen skin. “You’re okay. We’ll get you home.”
“Not tonight.”
“Okay,” he says softly. “Do you need a minute?”
I squeeze him tight. “No.”
He runs his hand through my hair. It’s so hypnotic, I manage to synchronize my breathing to it.
But then he kisses my neck. It’s chaste enough, yet my body reacts wildly. A soft moan escapes my lips, and he does it again, slower.
I know without having to think about it that I’ll regret everything that’s about to happen—that I’ll hate myself—that I’ll do the one final thing that will cement me forever as unforgivable, but the need is too profound. I can’t contain it. I’m not strong enough.
“I love you,” he whispers.
“I love you, too,” I say, a hand unfisting and sliding beneath his shirt.
“We’ll get you there,” he says.
I nod, running my hand up and down his back, turning my head slightly as he does the same. Our mouths meet. His tongue in my mouth is like a drug, making me forget. Grounding me in him.
He’s safe.
I’m safe here.
He lets me kiss him a minute or so before he pulls away, his gaze hesitant, reading my thoughts again, but seeing the darkness there, too. I’m so hard it hurts. I want him so badly, I’m shaking. “Baby, I need you.”
His thumb brushes my lower lip, and it sends a throb through me. I shudder. “Please.”
He studies me, his gaze moving from one of my eyes to the other. He licks his lips and gives me the smallest nod. He looks scared, too.
I don’t want him to be scared.
Concerned I can handle, but I don’t want him to think he’s gonna get hurt because I can’t control my own emotions. “I mean I need you. Inside me.”
It clicks, I guess. It must, because his mouth is on mine again, and he’s turning me around until my back is facing the bed. “I’ve got you,” he says. “I’ve got you.”
He’s taking off my shirt, and I’m in a frenzy. Grabbing for him, groping him, losing my mind with how close he is and how much closer I want him. I palm his crotch, but he’s barely hard, and I panic. “Fuck…what do you need? Stop thinking.”
“I’m fine, Drew. Lie down.”
