I didn’t choose her.
I chose that. And I will never love anyone as much as I love you. I will find a way back to you.
Love,
Dad
“Oh, Remi, I’m so sorry.” My words feel so utterly inadequate, but they’re all I’ve got.
“Me, too. Clearly he was a piece of shit for leaving his family, but I wish I’d had the chance to get to know the real man behind all of the bullshit my mother’s taught me about him instead.”
He drops his head into his hands and groans.
“I’m so sorry, Remi.” I touch his shoulder and he stiffens and sits up straight. My hand slides off his shoulder.
“Where’s your family?” His sudden change of subject catches me completely off guard. I
stare at him blankly for a minute and he laughs. “You know... Paul, Bianca?”
I glance at the hands in my lap then back at him. His smile disappears when he sees my face.
“I knew it. Something’s wrong. What happened?”
“Nothing is wrong. Paul and I got a divorce. Bianca’s staying with him while I’m here. I’m bringing her down for a visit the week after next. If I’m still here.”
My answer is met with silence.
His eyes lose their slightly faraway look and focus intently on me.
His posture changes – he straightens and sits up.
The hunger that was there before is back and this time he’s not looking away. My throat is dry, and there’s a thrumming in my core that’s vibrant and strong.
I haven’t felt that sensation in years.
And oh, how I’ve missed it. But, I need to tamp it down. I’m not here for this. There’s so much to talk about.
“Remi, we shou—”
“You’re single?” he asks, his voice a low growl.
“Uh - yes,” I say, and my breath catches in my throat at the way he’s looking at me. He looks hungry. And like he wants to fuck me. My pussy clenches, and his eyes take a quick scan of me, he shifts closer.
“Do you still burn for me the way I burn for you, baby?” he asks.
A wave of lust hits me hard at the desperate catch in his gruff voice.
I nod, fast and hard.
He lunges across the couch and without preamble, or question, cups the back of my neck with one hand, cups my ass with the other and crashes his mouth down on mine. He presses his body flush to mine and the insistent press of his erection against my thigh is the most erotic thing I’ve felt in my entire life. Delicious, toe curling tension coils deep inside of me.
“Then, let’s do this before we say another word and ruin it.” He breathes into my mouth.
He’s panting like he’s just sprinted to catch me. He nibbles at my lips with his feverishly hot mouth; he bites his way down my neck and I arch my back so that my throat presses into his teeth.
I want to feel the bite of it.
I am burning. Around me, everything else catches fire, too.
