COLTON
Warm, naked skin pressed against my chest, and I tightened my arm around her, my thumb grazing her nipple.
Remi sighed, shifting in my arms.
She’d fallen asleep after the best sexual encounter of my life. One second, I was sipping her smoothie, and the next, I was drinking her in. I wanted to taste her, to find out if she tasted like fruit or sunshine or a combination of both.
She was everything I wanted in my life, even if she wasn’t for me. I wanted to soak up her sunshine, her goodness, and her light.
I’d brought up her sister to warn her away, but it didn’t have the intended effect. If anything, it drew her closer to me.
Or were we so caught up in the moment that nothing could have stopped us? It was why I’d avoided her the last couple of weeks. I couldn’t control myself around her. No number of rules or regulations kept me from kissing her, from stopping her from dropping to her knees and sucking my cock. I’d never get the vision of her on her knees, her hand between her legs while she worked my cock, out of my head.
She was riveting. Gorgeous. I’d never seen anything hotter or more beautiful. Tenderness and emotion swirled around me, warring with my desire to take her hard on the bed, maybe even against the wall, but I’d held back, thinking that sex would complicate things. But what we’d done had gone far beyond sex. It was intimate and sweet.
I’d never felt so open with another person before, and maybe that was our history, the things we’d shared, the time we’d spent together.
We knew each other better than I’d known any other woman I’d been with. I held off the exhaustion, wanting to hold her in my arms for as long as I could have her.
I must have drifted off because I awoke with a start when she shifted in my arms, rolling to face me. With her hand tucked under her cheek, she looked at me.
I scrubbed a hand over my face, checking her alarm clock. “It’s midnight. We must have fallen asleep.”
I stilled, waiting for her to dictate the next step. If she wanted me gone, I’d leave. If she wanted me to stay, I couldn’t say no. I was at her mercy.
“Are you okay?” Her brows came together.
Did she have regrets? “Yeah, are you?”
“I just wasn’t sure if you felt guilty. You know, because of my sister.”
“I don’t want to talk about your sister.” It seemed wrong to bring her up in Remi’s bed after we’d been so intimate.
Bringing her up before we kissed was necessary. I had to throw out the one thing that stood between us and let her make the final decision. It was her sister. She had the most to lose if Delilah felt betrayed by our actions.
“I can’t seem to care about her right now. I guess I should. But I don’t.”
“I don’t have any feelings for her.” I didn’t feel shame or regret.
“That’s good.” The expression on her face was pensive, like she wouldn’t be surprised if I changed my mind later.
I had a strong sense of right and wrong and rules and responsibilities, but dating Delilah seemed so long ago. I was a different person back then. I was young and hadn’t experienced life or dealt with any bad things.
She rolled onto her back, and I sat up on my elbow so I could look down at her. Brushing hair off her shoulder, I kissed her. “Do you want me to go?”
“I don’t know. I think I’m waiting for you to freak out, get dressed, and say this was all a huge mistake.”
I searched my body for any feelings, and all I could find was satisfaction. “I feel good with you.”
She smiled. It was natural and beautiful. It was all Remi, without the worries about her sister or what others would think.
“Here, we’re just Remi and Colton. Nobody else penetrates.” Maybe I was putting things off for another day, and maybe it was stupid, but I wanted to live in the moment with her.
“I like that.”
I kissed her hard, then pulled back when her stomach rumbled. “We skipped dinner.”
Her eyes widened like she remembered something. “I have a frozen pizza.”
