Page 24 of The Heart You Kept

Don’t say that.

With this physical connection, how could we only have one night?

No world is that cruel.

My body begins to convulse and I moan as I come hard on his fingers, he kneels up over me and slides his cock down my throat and comes in my mouth.

I gag and choke as I try to deal with him.

He smiles down at me in the darkness as he tenderly brushes the hair back from my perspiration-clad forehead. “So fucking beautiful, Doe,” he whispers, he keeps stroking himself into my mouth.

We stare at each other and something shifts between us. A feeling so tangible that it turns into the physical. A force to be reckoned with.

Whatever his body was searching for, it just got. With his satiety, I can feel the tectonic plates move into place.

But where they’re moving to…I have no clue.

Only that I want more.

CHAPTER FIVE

ALORA

The heavenly scent of freshly percolated coffee wakes me from my slumber and I stretch as I try to focus my eyes.

Where am I?

My body feels heavy, achy, and instantly I’m reminded of last night and the god I went to bed with.

I look over to his empty side of the bed, where is he?

I slowly get out of bed and wince, I’m sore from last night. Every one of my muscles feel stretched and used. I throw my robe on and make my way out in search of my Mr. Doe.

I make my way into the living area and look around; everything from dinner last night has been cleaned up and packed away.

“Miss Doe,” he calls from the balcony. “I’m out here.”

I walk over to the door and find him sitting at the table, breakfast is laid out and the morning sun is beaming. He smiles broadly and taps his lap.

My heart swells and I float over to him and sit down on his knee.

He kisses me tenderly. “Good morning.”

“Hi.” I smile shyly, suddenly embarrassed about my whorish behavior last night.

As if he can read my mind he smiles down at me and combs his fingers through my hair. “Your beauty takes my breath away.”

I probably look like a raccoon.

We kiss, slowly at first and then deeper and our eyes close as we get lost in each other, I wasn’t imagining it or lost in the moment last night.

In the light of day it’s still here between us.

A blindingly beautiful chemistry, so bright that I can hardly see straight.

“We part today,” I say sadly.

“Hmm.” He kisses me again. “About that.”
