“I did not lie to you,” she snaps, “I have work to do. I’m going to do it after this phone call.”
“I call bullshit.” Which earns me a glare. “You tried to get out of talking to me, so you lied and said you had to work.”
“Again, didn’t lie,” she hisses. “Is this what you had to talk to me about that was so urgent?”
“No.” I snicker. “But it’s fun when you get mad.”
She pffts out. “Now that we’ve got you annoying me out of the way, we can get on with whatever it is you have to say so I can get to doing what I need to do.”
“We need to discuss what you said yesterday,” I tell her. I can see her walls come up but I’m ready to knock them down. “I think you misinterpreted what I was saying.”
“I don’t think anything at all,” she quickly adds in, “and I don’t think we really need to talk about this.”
“Then you are shit out of luck.” I sit up and see that her eyes go from my face to my chest, her cheeks getting a light pink, and I love that I have this effect on her. “Because there are a couple of things that have to be said, and I’m going to say them.”
“I don’t want you to say them.” She takes a deep breath in. “I don’t think we should go there.”
“Too bad.” I shake my head. “You want to forget that it happened?”
“Yes,” she replies without even thinking about it.
“So you didn’t want me to kiss you?” I ask, swallowing down, hoping like fuck she is honest with me. “Because I’m going to be very honest. If you didn’t want me to kiss you and then I kissed you, I’m…” I feel sick to my stomach. “Jesus, I’m not that guy to take advantage of you or anyone.”
“Christopher,” she says softly, “that’s not at all what I meant. You didn’t take advantage of me; you would never do that.”
“Listen, I don’t know what the right and wrong thing is to do right now,” I admit what is on my mind. “I have never been here, but I know a couple of things.” I watch her face as I talk. “And I’m going to say them and then you can do what you want with them.”
“Okay,” she agrees softly.
“There is nothing I wanted more in my life than to kiss you the other night. I’ve wanted nothing more than to kiss you for the last two fucking months, or maybe it’s been longer, I don’t know. But I knew if I didn’t kiss you when I did, I would have regretted it for the rest of my life.” Her mouth opens in shock. “The only reason I told you I was sorry was because I thought you regretted it.”
“I didn’t regret it,” she finally says, her voice in a whisper.
“You didn’t even look at me the rest of the night.” I can’t help that my voice cracks. “You avoided looking at me and refused to let me drive you home. It killed me that I had one of the best kisses of my life and then thought you didn’t want it.”
“Christopher, I was so embarrassed.”
“What?” I snap. “For what?”
“Good God, I let you go down on me in a dark doorway,” she croaks out. “What the fuck was I thinking?”
“Are you asking me?” I smile at her. “Because not going to lie, baby, if you would have dropped to your knees, I would not have said no, so there is that.”
“What?” It’s her turn to ask me.
“Baby, I want to touch you all the fucking time,” I admit. “I want to kiss the shit out of you. I want to hold your hand and then kiss your fingertips. I want to worship your whole fucking body, like literally inch by fucking inch.” I can see it in her eyes that she wants the same thing I want. “I lost total control the other night, and for that, I’m sorry also. I should have protected you. I can’t even think about what would have happened if someone saw you in that state.” I shake my head, my blood boiling. “No one gets to see you like that but me. That’s mine, and it’s yours. I was so fucking far gone for you, I didn’t even think twice.”
“You wanted me that bad?”
“Fuck, I want you that bad,” I admit. “Like right now, my cock is so hard it hurts.” She gasps. “A little TMI but”—I put my head back—“it’s like a constant state when I’m next to you or I see you.”
“I’ve never done that before.” She takes a big exhale. “I’ve never, ever wanted to be touched so bad in my life. The minute you kissed me, it was like I forgot everything. My name, where I was, what I was doing. The only thing I wanted was to be closer to you.”
“You can’t say things like that to me when I’m here and you’re there.”
“Why not?” She laughs for the first time tonight, and my cock gets even harder.
“Because I can’t touch you,” I admit. “The things I would do to you.”
