When my building came into view, my eyes welled. I just wanted a normal life. I didn’t want to look over my shoulder constantly. I didn’t want to live in fear. But knowinghestill existed made it hard not to. It had been why I lived where I did. The security was top notch and made me feel safer than if I lived at a regular apartment. But the fact that Cyrus no longer wanted anything to do with me bothered me more than if I spent the rest of my life alone.
Cyrus pulled the car into the parking lot, found an empty space, and parked. He shut off the vehicle and much to my surprise, slid out of the driver’s seat.
Instead of waiting for him, I opened the door and left the car just the same.
“I’ll walk you to your door,” he murmured.
I bit back a sigh but never argued with him. When we were on my floor outside my door, I stuck my key into the doorknob. As soon as I opened the door, Cyrus spun me around and pushed me up against the doorjamb before crushing his mouth to mine.
I gasped, my purse and keys falling from my hand at the rough unexpected contact. Snaking my arms around his shoulders, I pulled him closer.
Cyrus grabbed my hands from around his neck and pushed them above my head. Holding them in one hand, he let the other trail down the side of my body as he stepped closer. So close that I could feel him everywhere. Every hard line, every inch, every throbbing muscle. But it wasn’t enough. My body suddenly burned, aching for more. It was a feeling I hadn’t felt in a long time.
Cyrus ran his free hand back up the side of my body, cupping the side of my neck. He pushed his thumb beneath my jaw and tilted my head back. He took control of the kiss, igniting this desire and passion within me.
If his hands weren’t holding me, I would have fallen to my knees just from his lips being on mine once again.
His hold tightened on my hands above my head. Being restrained by him, not being able to touch him, ignited this burn. This need. This want and desire for more. Foreverything.
Breaking the kiss, he tilted my head back even more. “I’ll be your fresh start, pet,” he said, his voice low and husky.
My stomach tumbled.
“I’ll be everything you need.” He kissed my forehead, letting go of my hands. “I know you need me to be patient, and I promise you that I will, but I want you to know that if you need something, anything, I’m here. If you wake up during the night from a nightmare, text me and I’ll be right over. Never think you’re being a pain in my ass because I promise you, baby, you are the fresh start I need too.”
My heart jumped, feeling like it was about to bound out of my chest.I thought you wanted this to end when you didn’t respond to my text.
Cyrus kissed my nose. “I’m sorry for making you think that but no, I do not want this end. Not at all. Not when it’s only begun. Your text opened up something in me.” His mouth brushed over mine. “It took everything I had not to kiss you at the deli. Another reason I brought you there was because it was the first place I felt your lips on mine. The first place I tasted your mouth.” He gave my bottom lip a gentle bite. “The first place I swallowed your breath.”
I’m broken. So, I understand if you do want this to end, Cyrus. I don’t know how long it’ll take for me to give you all of me,I signed slowly for him, wishing I could voice how I felt.
His lips pulled up in the corner, giving me a sexy smirk. “Trust me, pet.” He leaned down to my ear. “With the way you kiss me back and with how you rub your body against mine, neither of us will have to wait long.”
My face heated.
He chuckled, stepping away from me. “I’d like to take you out again. Say, next Friday?”
I nodded quickly.I would love that and thank you for everything and for tonight.
“You never have to thank me, babe.” He kissed me one last time before backing up. “I want to see you before next Friday though. But we’ll make our dates be a weekly thing.”
You can spend the night.
“Hmm...” He ran his fingers along his mouth. “As much as I like that idea, we need to take this slow. Sleep well, pet.” He turned and started walking down the hall away from me.
Before he could disappear around the corner that led to the elevators, I ran toward him.
Cyrus looked over his shoulder, raising an eyebrow. “What’s wrong?”
I jumped into his arms, slamming my mouth down hard on his.
He groaned, the kiss fast and deep. “Fuck, baby.” He broke the kiss before we could take it further. “What the hell was that for?” he asked, placing me back on my feet and hugging me to his hard body.
I wiggled out of his grip and began backing up.
Just wanted to give you something to remind you for later.I blew him a kiss and rushed back down the hall toward my apartment but not before I caught the grin on his face.
