She just stares at me, a look of confusion on her gorgeous face. I know I’ve said too much at once. I know she’s probably overwhelmed.
I mean, hell, sheissupposed to be getting married today.
I can’t find it in me to regret a fucking word, though.
An enormous weight has been lifted since the moment I called her out. I’ve been carrying this shit around for way too long.
Really, I only wish I had said it sooner. Maybe if I had spoken up three years ago, we never would have gotten into this mess.
If I’d shown her the truth, we might be somewhere else entirely. Instead, I kept my fucking mouth shut. I let her forget.
I let her get engaged to fucking Eggbert.
Well, fuck Eggbert and fuck forgetting. I didn’t forget. I just walked around, head swarming with memories of her.
The way she tastes, the way she laughs when she’s actually happy, and the way she looks when she’s coming on my cock.
Yeah, I sure as fuck won’t ever forget that.
This time, I’m not going to let her forget, either. I move before she has time to think.
That’s the real problem here: Sammi’s always fucking thinking. Always calculating and rationalizing.
Enough.
Enough logic. Enough practicality.
My hands lock around her waist, pulling her to me in a rush. My mouth crashes against hers before she has time to speak.
I put everything into this kiss.
All my frustration, my pent-up feelings…all the love I feel for this ridiculous fucking woman. I kiss her like I’ve lost my damn mind.
Probably because I have.
But whose fault is that?
Her body tenses the moment my lips find hers, every inch of her tightening in surprise. I swear to God I can feel her fucking mind working.
I just kiss her harder, doing everything in my power to drive the damn thoughts away. I want her here, with me, nowhere else.
Let’s face it. Calm, rational Sammi has never gone for what she really wants. It’s a different girl entirely that I’m trying to lure out now.
I almost can’t believe it when I feel her relax. When her lips begin to move against mine, I finally have the confidence to loosen my grip around her and just coexist, letting our mouths dance together.
Fucking Sammi Brighton is kissing me back, and she’s not even drunk.
I’ve never felt this from her sober. I’ve never so much as tasted her tongue without the lingering flavor of tequila.
There’s not a trace of it now, though.
I’ve gotta say, even without the heavy tang of liquor, Sammi tastes fucking amazing. I pull her harder against me, desperately trying to eliminate any space.
