“That, too.” Mick widens his stance, letting her settle between his thighs. She remembers that fantasy she had about riding his leg until she cums. But he hasn’t forgotten what they’re talking about.Whothey’re talking about. “I’m not the one you need to evict, Lily. I think we both know that.”
On this, he and her therapist and her best friend are agreed. She’s the one who’s been straggling. Staggering. Under the weight of so many poisonous words. Shit she’s internalized. “It’s not that easy. It can’t happen in a day.”
“Why not?Thishappened in a day.” He squeezes her fingers, still resting over his heart. “And I want to see what happens next.”
In the back of her brain, there’s still that voice—”you should have been his”—but for the first time in a long time it’s a whisper. Not a shout. Drowned out by Mick saying sheishis. His to protect. His to fight for. Lily cants into him, trapping their joined hands between their bodies.
If she’s touched his heart, then he’s touched every part of her. And she still wants—needs—more. Maybe she’ll always want more. And that’s okay. She’s allowed. She arches up on her toes, and presses her mouth to his in a quick, claiming kiss. “Sheila can’t have this. She’s taken enough of me already.” If she says it enough, someday soon she might believe it.Mine. He’s mine and you can’t have him. He was never yours to begin with.
“That’s my girl.” Michael traces the contour of her face with one fingertip. It comes to stop at her chin. Which he tilts up as he makes a show of studying her. Taking her in. “I don’t see any missing pieces. I see someone brave and beautiful and whole. And I am so damn lucky you came looking for me.”
That makes two of them. “You opened the door,” she points out, nuzzling into his touch. “You let me in. You didn’t have to.”
“Yeah, I did. And I’mgladI did.” Michael mimics her brief hard kiss. A declarative statement that says more than any song lyric.
Lily started this journey. She has to see it through. She doesn’t have to do it alone.
