Soft.
Slow.
Full of so much love and pain and passion that my heart ached as my own love for her clashed with the fears I’d been keeping at bay and the guilt that had been slowly destroying me.
“You know me,” she reminded me. “You know me because we’rereal. Let me show you that. Let me give you the pieces of us you’ve forgotten.”
I held her there for a moment longer...lips brushing with each breath. Bodies connected and begging for the movements I was keeping us from.
“Just be there when I wake up,” I softly begged before forcing her down until she was fully seated.
“Oh God,” she whimpered as another tremor rolled up her spine.
Nothing...nothing had ever felt like her. I could’ve stayed in that moment forever, with her in my arms as she stretched around me, gripping me so damn tight. Her heated stare locked on mine and her full lips parted. Begging me to kiss her. To taste her.
To claim her in every way.
And then she began moving.
Hips rolling in a way that had a groan building in my chest and my grip on her tightening. Urging her to continue.
“Fuck,” the word scraped up my throat when she shifted until only the head of my cock was still inside her before sliding back down. Taking me in again and again before she resumed her rocking, quicker than before. Driving me out of my goddamn mind because everything about this girl screamed that she was made for me.
The sensual rocking of her hips. Her unexpected, teasing movements that had my eyes rolling back. The way she clung to me and breathed my name when I captured her mouth.
Mine.
I wrapped one of my arms around her hips, keeping her close as my other hand trailed up her back and curled over her shoulder. Holding her. Claiming her with my touch alone. Forcing her down harder and harder as she rode me and pulled me closer to that ledge.
A whimper bled from her and got lost in the kiss when her movements changed. Became almost desperate as she clenched around me, nearing her own release.
Unlocking my arm from around her waist, I slipped my hand between us as I deepened the kiss. Demanding more even as she struggled to catch her breath, and goddamn if she didn’t give me exactly that.
More of her addictive mouth, attacking the kiss as if she needed me to breathe.
More of her mesmerizing body, moving with me like she was afraid she’d never be able to have this again when I began teasing her clit.
More of her as she let go, pulling me off that ledge with her as she shattered above me. Her body vibrating and chest heaving as I poured my release into her. Whispering, “I love you,” against my lips before pressing a soft, lingering kiss there.
I love you. I love you.
The words tore through my mind on repeat as we slowly came down together, but I held them back. Because at the end of all this, I needed to protect her more than I already was.
Trailing my mouth to her jaw and then her neck, I gave a teasing bite to the soft skin there and said, “You consume me.”
Words that were just as true but weren’t nearly enough.
Wrapping my arms around her, I held her close and pressed my forehead to her shoulder just as her soft voice met my ear.
“I’ll always be there when you wake up.”
My eyelids shut and a shuddering breath left me at the depth of her words, and I gripped her tighter. In gratitude. In adoration.
In a plea to make her wordstrue.
Pressing a kiss to her shoulder, I sat back to look into her eyes and said, “This changes nothing.” When confusion and rejection touched her face, I hurried to clarify, “If one day you decide you need to leave, I’ll let you go. If you want me to continue staying in the guestroom, then I’ll say goodnight right now and go in there.”
“If Iwantyou in there?” Scarlet choked out on a stunned laugh. “I want you with me. That’s all I ever want.”
