With one last deep thrust, I buried myself inside of her, never wanting to leave. She collapsed onto my chest, and slowly, our bodies relaxed. Neither of us were willing to move.
We laid there in that position, me running my hands up her back gently, until her breathing slowed, and I knew she’d fallen asleep.
I was exhausted but didn’t want to sleep. I wanted to enjoy this feeling for as long as it lasted.
The call from Logan today had been a slap in the face – a reminder that no one is guaranteed tomorrow. So I was going to make the most of tonight.
Joyelle, where the hell did you come from? And what the hell am I supposed to do with you?
I hadn’t expected to ever find someone who…I could love.
Those words scared the shit out of me. They could lead to a place I had said I never wanted to be. Married. In business I would tell people to make a decision and stick to it. I know what my head tells me to do, but damn, my heart is fucking everything up. For the first time I could remember, I didn’t know what I truly wanted.
It was possible that my emotions were screwed up because of Chance. That could explain the sudden change within me. Could it really be that simple? If so, would I go back to normal and grow bored with what Joyelle and I share?
She stirred on top of me and rolled off and onto her side. Once she was gone, my body ached to feel her close again.
Rolling onto my side, I spooned her, and she snuggled her back close to me with what sounded like half moan and half purr. Her breathing said she’d drifted into a deep sleep. I could easily slip from her bed and go home. But I didn’t want to let her go, not just yet. Tonight, I didn’t just want her, but I needed her. I needed her smile and her warmth. Being with her was an escape, and I didn’t want to go back to reality.
I inhaled her sweet scent, kissed her shoulder and closed my eyes. It wasn’t long before I relaxed enough to fall asleep.
