“Miss you,” I softly murmured against him before I pulled away.
“Where do you think you’re going?” he questioned, his hand clamping down on my elbow, pulling me back towards him.
“Bathroom.”
His arms and legs confined me before he left kisses on my face and neck. “Fine, I won’t try to have sex with you, but can you spare five minutes to cuddle with your man?”
“Ohhh, so you’remyman now?” I laughed, teasing him a little.
“You bet your sweet, sexy—” He then cupped my ass, gripping it hard with his fingers. His tone then dropped into that sexy, raspy voice he used when he was horny. “Your ass is so fucking fine. I want it so bad.”
“Ummm… huh?”
“I want it,” he declared without blinking as he tried to tell me what that meant.
Wait. Just. Wait.“In what way?”Exactly…?
Fiery, wicked eyes ignited my body with desire. “The only way I can.”
That…Oh, Shit!
I shivered, smiling. “That holy grail is saved for my husband.”
He was well amused as he tightened his hold, beaming at me. “Well, you’re staring at him, so I don’t see any problem.”
Crazy talk—that’s what it was. Nothing of substance. “Shut up.”
“You know that’s eventually where we’re heading.” His brow rose, looking serious all of a sudden. “You do know that, don’t you?”
God, he was thinking that far ahead? Husband and marriage? But how? He was married already. What the fuck. I hated it when he messed with me this way, but I couldn’t deny that I felt my heart constrict at the thought of him as my husband.
“Maybe… but I don’t want to think that far ahead,” I casually said, needing to brush the subject out of my mind. “I want to live in the now. This—you…I’m completely happy.”
“Are you hundred percent sure? ‘Cause if you run away again, I’m coming after you. I don’t care if you’re in Antarctica. I’m coming.”
“The thought of you chasing after me is sweet, but I’m not going anywhere. I promise. You’ll see how I’ve changed. I’m staying, and I’ll keep fighting to make it that way.” He looked thoughtful a moment before he said something that took me aback.
“Did you ever wish I came after you that time after graduation?”
If we were both really being honest, well… I would bare my heart to him. The good. The ugly. And the rest of the goo.
“Yes. But I hadn’t realized how much you meant to me then. I was blind. It kills me to think how blind I’ve been. You were so open about your feelings for me that I got scared. You were this force field that wouldn’t go away, pressing and pushing itself into my life until you broke into my heart.”
“I actually bought a plane ticket a month after you left.”
“What?” He had just blown my mind with this revelation. “Then why didn’t you come?”
“I got into a car accident. I was beat up, so I couldn’t leave even if I wanted to.” He looked sorry as his thumb caressed my cheek. “And when you didn’t call to ask if I was okay, I got discouraged.”
“Oh, God!” He was beat up? How bad had it been? “No one told me.”
“After your mom found out—it was after a few days ‘cause she was on a business trip—I told her not to mention anything to you. I did ask Edith to call you, though; right before they were going to operate on me. I was high on the drugs they shot into my body, but I clearly remember asking her to call you and to also ask you if you could come back.”
Edith.Son of a whorish bitch!
“I never got anything!” I was stunned. Things could’ve been so different for us. “Grey, I’m so sorry.” My arms encircled his neck, holding him incredibly close, never letting him go again. “I’m sorry. I’m going to make it up to you. I promise I will.”
“That’s weird… She said she did and that you told her you didn’t care.”
