“Is it true, then?” she asks me in a whisper, and I know exactly what she’s talking about.
“Yes, it’s true. Me and Derek, we fucked,” I tell her and, hell, it feels good to be honest. It feels good to trust someone this much and be able to reveal who I really am.
“I was never sure, but I had my suspicions.” She smiles at me, and then she’s the one brushing her thumb over my lips, her eyes locked on mine. “You wanted him, and he wanted you.”
“Yes,” I merely say, losing myself in her eyes. “Ever since I met him I … felt different around him. And I always thought that he felt the same. But we were young and foolish … and we just hid our true feelings from each other. But what happened a few days ago, it was inevitable.”
“I know,” she whispers, one of her hands over my chest, feeling my heartbeat. “And I’m glad it happened. I really am.”
“You’re… glad?”
“I am. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that you don’t put chains around the ones you love.”
Leaning in, I place one hand on the nape of her neck and brush my lips against hers. “I just wish you were there with us when it happened,” I tell her with a smile, and her lips open up into a grin.
“I wish I was there too.” She runs her tongue between her lips, and then bites down on her lower lip. “I wish I could’ve seen you together… how was it…? Tell me.”
“It was… amazing,” I admit, grinning back at her. “We kissed, we sucked, we fucked… We did it all, Eliza, no holds barred. I ran my hands over his naked body; I kissed his delicious lips… I did everything I wanted to for so long.”
She looks at me with her lips slightly parted, and she doesn’t need to say anything for me to know that she wants me to continue.
“And his cock… I don’t need to tell you how good he is, do I? You know it as well as I do.”
“I do… I do.”
“If only you were there…”
“I love you,” she says out of the blue, pursing her lips together and simply allowing these three words to explode in her mouth. “I love you. I love you so much, Carter. We’ve lost Derek … let’s not lose each other.”
Love—that word hits me like a brick, and a sudden realization explodes in my mind: I love her. I love Eliza with every fiber of my being.
And she must know it.
“I love you too,” I whisper back at her, my heart suddenly drumming a song of happiness. “And you won’t lose me. Not now, not ever.” I smile at her, all worry and sadness washing away from me. Even though Derek left a hole in my heart, the joy I’m feeling right now is enough to hide it from sight.
Placing both my hands in Eliza’s waist, I pull her into me and crush my mouth against hers.
Derek might not be here with us, but right now all I need is Eliza.
Chapter Twenty-Nine
Eliza
Surrender.
That’s what I do when Carter takes his mouth to mine, our lips locking as if they were designed with that one purpose in mind. I turn on the couch so that my body is pressed tight against him, his hands running up the side of my body, and the moment I feel his touch on me… It’s as if all the sadness and desperation that engulfed me just moments ago simply faded away.
It’s all there, of course. Underneath the joy I’m feeling right now, there’s a pang of loss to it; but being here with him, our love finally out in the open, it helps.
“I love you,” I repeat, these three words feeling like honey on my tongue. I never believed in love, but now… Now I’m a convert. I guess all I needed was to meet the right man, the one capable of breaking through my barriers and strong woman posture, and get to the little girl that lives deep inside me.
“I love you too,” Carter whispers back to me, running his fingers through my hair as his eyes meet mine. Never breaking eye contact, I rest one hand on his chest and then let it fall down… My fingers go over his belt, and my heart tightens up inside my chest as I flatten the palm of my hand over his crotch, feeling how his cock becomes harder and harder with each passing second.
“I want you… I want you right now,” I continue, curling my fingers around his bulging shape and giving it a gentle squeeze. Then, without giving him enough time to react, I climb on top of his body and straddle him, throwing both my arms over his shoulders and pressing my forehead against his. “I need my daddy right now…”
