Fuck it.
I yank my front door open and step out into the slight drizzle that’s just started.
“Aspen!” I call out to her.
She stops and looks over at me. “What do you want?” she yells back, her voice laced with annoyance.
“Don’t go.”
It’s what I should’ve said the first time she told me to tell her not to go. I’m an idiot for waiting so long.
“What?” she asks after several seconds of neither one of us saying anything.
“Don’t go,” I repeat a little louder.
The rain is starting to come down harder now, but I can see her slowly blink as she processes what I’m saying.
She takes a step toward me, and I do the same to her.
“Are you saying this out of jealousy?” she asks.
“I’m saying this because I’m done pretending that I don’t want you. I’m done pretending that there’s nothing between us. I can’t stop thinking about you.”
She runs at me, and I open my arms, ready for her to make the jump. I lift her up, her legs wrapping around me as her mouth crashes down on mine.
It’s happening.
It’s finally happening, and I’m not going to stop it this time.
I walk us back to my house since we’re both soaking wet from the rain. Once we’re inside, she drops her bag to the floor, and I gently set her down, but I don’t break our kiss.
She’s mine now. All mine.
I grab the bottom of her wet shirt and pull it up over her head, dropping it down on the floor.
She does the same to my shirt as we slowly make our way to my bedroom. I unhook her bra and let it fall in the hallway.
We’re walking too slow for my liking, so I pick her up again and finish the walk back to my room, placing her down on my bed. I kiss down her neck, all the way down to her nipple. I pull it into my mouth and suck.
She moans loudly, and the sound goes straight to my dick.
“Goddamn, you’re perfect,” I murmur as I move to her other nipple.
She reaches for my belt buckle, and I let her undo it. Her hand presses against my chest until I climb off of her so she can get my jeans off.
She unbuttons my jeans and pushes them all the way down with my boxers. She watches me carefully as I step out of my jeans and kick them away.
She starts to lower to her knees, but I stop her. “Darlin’, you don’t ever need to be on your knees for me. I’m the one who should be worshipping you.”
In one swift movement, I’ve got her back up and on the bed, tugging off her wet leggings. She’s completely bare in front of me, and it’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.
I drop to my knees and trail slow kisses up her thighs. I blow gently on her pussy, which makes her wriggle.
“Brooks, please.”
“Hmm. You want me to eat your pussy, Aspen?”
“Please!”
