I glanced at him. He was staring directly at me, his eyes still pleading for my forgiveness. But I didn’t know what to say, so I averted my gaze and stared at the carpet again, simply nodding my head.
“I can’t deny,” Tobias continued, “it’s going to take some time for me to get used to the idea of being a father, of twins no less, but I’m up for the challenge. If you’ll allow me to try.” He slid over on the bed and reached for my hand. “What I’m trying to say is that I want to be there for you and the babies. I’m not going to let you go through this alone. Whatever you and the babies need, I’m here. No matter what. All right? I want to be a part of your lives. I can’t imagine not being there for you guys. I can’t imagine not knowing my children. That’s just not the type of man I want to be. I could never live with myself if I wasn’t there for you and the babies.”
Again, pesky tears began to form in my eyes and there was no hope of me hiding them this time. Noticing them, Tobias squeezed my hand.
“What made you have a change of heart?” I asked.
He shook his head. “I never had a change of heart. It was never my intention to abandon you in the first place. I was just shocked last night and needed time to process what you told me. I never once fathomed not being in our children’s lives, Scarlet. It’s just that you left so abruptly, I didn’t have a chance to explain. And when you didn’t answer my text, I figured I needed to wait until I actually saw you again to say what I needed to say.”
He reached out, gently running a hand down the side of my face and then leaning in to press his forehead against mine.
I closed my eyes, breathing in his scent. I squeezed his hand back in mine. “Thank you, Tobias.”
“You don’t have to thank me,” he said. “You guys are my responsibility now, and I will never walk away.”
I opened my eyes, only to find him staring back intently at me. He slowly brought his lips to mine, giving me a delicate lingering kiss.
Moving closer, he fully wrapped me into his arms, cradling me against him. I exhaled, feeling like the weight of the world had suddenly been lifted from my shoulders. I wasn’t in this alone; the elation I felt couldn’t even be put into words.
Letting my tears fall freely, I grabbed Tobias’s face with both my hands and kissed him. Without even realizing it, I had stood and positioned myself in front of him to deepen the kiss.
He wrapped his arms around my waist and leaned back until he was lying on the bed with me straddled on top of him.
I stared down at him, and he smiled up at me, gazing into my eyes.
“Everything is going to change, you know that?” I said.
“Yes, as it should,” he replied. ?
??And I’m excited about it, especially since I’ll be going through this experience with you. Now come here,” he said, pulling me down to him.
CHAPTER 21
Scarlet
I straddled his lap as he pulled me into a kiss, pressing his lips against mine with urgency. Our hands were restless, running over our bodies as our tongues fought for dominance. I’d thought I lost him. I’d thought he wouldn’t want to have anything to do with me ever again, and now that he was touching me again, I felt like I was going to explode with desire for him.
I pushed him to the mattress and started unbuttoning his shirt, impatient to feel his skin. He moved to help me, but I brushed him off, wanting to have full control over the next few minutes. I was so lust driven that my movements were too rough, and I actually managed to rip a few buttons off his shirt when I gave up on unbuttoning and pulled his shirt open instead.
He chuckled. “So impatient and naughty,” he told me, fisting his hands as if he was hardly controlling himself not to touch me.
“Just the way you like me.” I brought my lips to his chest and left a trail of wet kisses over his taut skin, paying special attention to his puckered nipples that were silently begging for my attention.
He hissed when my mouth wrapped around his hardened nub, his body jerking in response to my velvety touch. I continued playing with his nipples as I slid my hands over his torso to his pants, intent on taking them off next. My hands worked fast, undressing him in no time.
“Don’t move,” I told him and removed my clothes, already wet for him.
I straddled him again, but this time I brought my pussy to his face. “Scarlet...” His voice was husky, revealing surprise at my boldness.
“Fuck. You’re going to kill me.”
He grabbed my hips and slammed me on his face, immediately meeting my mound with his hot tongue. I let a raspy moan out, grabbing my breasts when the intense pleasure rushed through me.
“Ah, Tobias... This is... Yes...”
I couldn’t form anything more coherent, overcome with these addictive sensations that drove me crazy. He knew how to please me, lapping at my pussy like I was his most delicious meal. I ground against him fast, tweaking my nipples between my fingers.
“Yes! Yes! Yes! Don’t stop, Tobias...” His mouth enclosed around my swollen clitoris and sucked at it hard. “Tobias!” It was so good!
