He grasped my thighs in his hands, and said, “Hold on.”
I held on tightly to his muscular shoulders as he started carrying me, and I soon found myself lying on a table. The wood was cool and my sweat dampened skin wanted to stick to it.
Trent pushed into me and I gasped, my nails digging into his arms.
“Did I hurt you?” He stilled.
I shook my head. “No, it feels really good. Do it again.”
He did, and my back arched off the table as he reached down and took my breasts in his hands. “You have no idea how happy it makes me that this,” he stared at my body, “hasn’t been seen by anyone but me.”
I didn’t answer, because I didn’t have anything to say except, you own me, and there was no way I was saying that out loud.
“I never want anyone else to see you like this, spread out beneath them,” he continued. “I want you to belong to me and only me,” he growled, lowering his lips to mine as he staked his claim. He didn’t need to though. I had been his from the moment I met him. There were too many other circumstances standing in our way, keeping us from a happy life together. I had made so many mistakes and my regrets continued to pile up, slowly suffocating me from the inside out.
“What’s wrong?” He asked, gazing down at me with a puzzled expression. “You look upset.”
I shook my head, reaching up so my fingers wrapped around the back of his neck.
“Rowan…” He pressed.
“Make me forget,” I whi
spered in his ear.
“Forget what?” He questioned, looking at me worriedly.
“Everything.”
???
Trent had definitely been able to make me forget. After the table, we’d sunk to the floor and started the whole process over again.
Now, we lay spread out on the floor, still naked, and my body was wrapped around his. I never wanted to move, because once I did I’d have to return to my messed up life.
His lips pressed against my forehead. “I have something I want to ask you…and please, don’t get mad, hear me out.”
“Okay…” I ventured hesitantly. “Usually when someone says ‘don’t get mad’ it’s because you’re going to get mad.”
He swallowed thickly, looking up at the ceiling of the library. “Come to New York with me.”
I was not expecting that to come out of his mouth.
“Trent, you know—”
“I know, you have to look after your siblings. But can’t you find someone else for a week? We could go over Christmas,” he tucked my hair behind my ear, “and return in time to go to my family’s annual New Year’s Eve party, then I would reluctantly take you home,” he chuckled.
I bit my lip, chewing on it nervously. Since I’d been able to drive, I’d been taking the kid’s to our grandma’s and spending a few days to a week there for the holidays. That’s what I had been planning to do this year, but…I could always drop them off and go with Trent. I knew they’d be in good hands with her. I wouldn’t have to worry, and I could enjoy myself. I deserved to do something for myself, right?
“I…I need to think about it,” I whispered, tracing my finger along his chest and down his abs.
“Well,” he sighed, “thinking about it is certainly better than a flat out no.”
I really did want to do it—even though the thought of being alone with Trent for a full week scared me. I knew that winter break would end soon and he’d be gone for a while. His University was only two hours away, but when you have classes and homework, it could be hard to find time to visit. I certainly didn’t want to be one of those clingy girls begging him to come home every weekend. I would miss him though, and I wanted to spend as much time with him as I could.
“Why New York?” I asked, truly curious.
“We have a place in the city, and it’s spectacular this time of the year. Plus, I’d like to spend more time with you, and New York City seemed like a good place. We’re far enough away that you can relax and enjoy yourself without worrying about your brother and sister, but close enough to get back quickly if we need to.”
