“You’re a pain in the ass,” I bark.
“I would love to be a pain in your ass.”
“Fuck me first and then we can talk about it,” I say thrusting my hips upward as best as I can with this man on top of me.
“Tell me what I want to hear.”
“Youwant to hear it?”
“Youneed to say it”
“Say what?”
“Don’t be cute, Charlotte.”
I close my eyes slowly and take a deep breath.If this man is willing to do all this for me just to show me that Matt was wrong, get the fuck out of your own head and listen. He risked everything for you. Do you think he’d do it for someone he felt was boring? He was sleeping with you long before he was in love with you, Charley.“I’m not boring,” I whisper.
He leans down slightly and ghosts his lips across mine. “What was that?”
“I’m…not…boring,” I say slowly as I let the words seep into my brain.
“Don’t say it if you don’t mean it. I’m more than happy to continue with this exercise.”
“I mean it.”
“Are you sure because I don’t want to have this conversation again.” I nod, and my words, his words, mixed with the fact that I’m naked underneath him, unable to move, has my vision blurry with tears. I close my eyes as they leak out of the corners and slide into my hair. I feel him move from sitting on top of me and feel his breath on my face. I open my eyes to see him a mere inch from my face and he wipes the tears from my eyes. “You’re not boring, Charley. You are extraordinary.” He smiles as he lowers his face to nuzzle my neck.
“What did I do to deserve you?” I choke out, the tears prohibiting my ability to speak clearly. “I love you,” I say as I wrap my arms around his neck and pull him closer to me. “I love you so much.”
“You exist,” he whispers in my ear. “That’s all you did to be deserving of me, Charlotte.” His words do nothing to stop the tears from falling from my eyes. “I’m going to make love to you now, are you okay with that?”
I nod as I try and get myself together and stop the flow of tears that have been flowing for what seems like forever. He slides inside of me and just like that, I’m home.
IHAD PLANNED TO TELLCharlotte everything yesterday. I woke up early, leaving her in bed so I could be alone with my thoughts, without her soft body pressed up against me. I had written out a list of things we needed to discuss. I may have made myself an Irish coffee that morning, but it was just one cup and it was only to take the edge off. I was completely prepared to tell her everything yesterday, but then she entered my office in nothing more than a t-shirt and a sad smile, feeling somewhat dejected over what Matt had said the night before.
Suddenly, the idea of revealing a secret that I kept from her sounded like the worst idea.
She needed comfort, not the realization that yet another man who professed to love her hadn’t been honest with her.
So, I didn’t tell her.
Again.
God, I was a pussy.
I can’t seem to quiet the racing thoughts as we sit outside the conference room even as Charlotte sits next to me stroking my hand. I watch as J.R., dressed in a smart power suit, paces in front of us, his ear glued to his cell phone as he’s yelling at what I assume to be some poor intern at his firm. He’d commented on the fact that I wasn’t wearing a tie and how unprofessional it was.Amazing.Two minutes with my father, and I already needed a drink.I think that is some sort of record.I feel hands on my face turning me towards familiar lips. Charley’s mouth is on mine in an instant, moving against my lips slowly, her tongue parting my lips and rubbing against mine. I moan quietly into her mouth as her hand cups my cheek and she winds her fingers through my hair.
“Don’t worry,” she whispers. “I’ll be right there.” Relief floods my body, hearing her words, and just as I’m about to respond, I hear J.R.’s voice piercing the air.
“Must you do that,here? Now?” he asks, and we pull apart slowly, our eyes not leaving each other’s for the first few seconds.To be honest, I forgot where we were.
“So beautiful,” I tell her as I bring her hand to my mouth and brush my lips across them.
“J.R. don’t you have someone else to bother?” I don’t take my eyes off the woman in front of me, who is currently blushing over being scolded by my father. “We need a moment alone.”
“So, you can continue what you’re doing? No, Will. Someone needs to be here and keep an eye on you two and possibly turn a hose on you. Besides, you need to focus on what you’re going to say.”
“I already know what I’m going to say. I’m nervous enough. She’s keeping me calm.” I turn my attention back to her. “Don’t let go of my hand.”
