“You can pick.”
“No, I was kidding. You can choose whatever you want. I like our evening routines.” I nudge in closer to him, trying to snuggle in. In return, I feel his body tense. My heart breaks as he gets up off the sofa entirely.
“Do you want anything?”
“Um, no. I’m okay, thank you,” I answer, not wanting to start an argument. The words I want to say spring to mind, unspoken.Yes, for you to stop acting like an asshole or to tell me what’s wrong!
I hear his footsteps, sounding louder than normal the entire way to the kitchen. The cabinets slam, and the fridge opens and shuts again before he reappears.
“I’m going to head to bed,” he says, not even waiting for a response before turning around and heading down the hall.
What the hell is going on?
I turn off the TV and follow him into the bedroom, where I find him sitting on his side of the bed, shirt off and reading.
“Not even going to have dinner first?” I ask, trying to joke again. He looks up at me without a hint of a smile, then goes back to his book.
Maybe some sexy time before bed will help his mood, I think, stripping out of my daytime outfit and finding a nightgown. I watch out of the corner of my eye to see if he looks up when I’m standing in my bra and underwear.
My heart skips when I see him glance up, but it’s momentarily and without a compliment. My ego immediately takes a hit, as he usually jumps for joy when I’m in my underwear. I throw on my nightgown and crawl into bed.
I turn toward the wall, staying on the edge of the mattress, away from him as far as I can.
Does he find Honey more attractive than me? Is that it? He’s no longer interested or even pretending to be because he’s upset about the other options he’s missing out on?
The longer I lie here thinking of the worst-case scenarios, the worse my anxiety feels. Suddenly, he flips off his nightstand lamp and crawls under the comforter. My heart breaks at the space between us, trying to forget what it feels like to fall asleep in his arms so that I can get a hint of sleep tonight.
Until I feel Kaden scootch over and wrap his arms around me. It’s silent for a moment until he gets close to my ear, whispering. “I’m going to be gone for a week.”
His words hit me hard, and I’m unsure if it’s because he’s leaving or because I’ve been thinking all night that he was suddenly uninterested. I know I’ll miss him, but as much as I want to tell him not to go, I know how hard he’s working on expanding his connections. So, I must understand his need to leave and let him go.
I turn to him. “Okay. I’m sad you’re leaving. I’ll miss you, of course.”
“I’ll miss you too, babe,” he says, kissing my forehead.
“Well, in that case, I might need a little something from you to hold me over until you get back…”
His eyebrow raises, and the corner of his mouth turns up. “Oh yeah? What did you have in mind?” I seductively bite my lip, looking at his while I do it, and climb on top of him. My knees are straddling his hips, and my hands are pressing on his rock-solid chest.
“What’re you thinking you might need, huh?” he asks again. I smile and lift my nightgown over my head, exposing my breasts. I reach forward, grab his hands, and place them omy body.
“I need you, Kaden. Right now.”
He lunges at my words, meeting my lips with a fiery passion like he’s been waiting for my request. Our lips melt together as my tongue slides between his teeth, and it dances with his own for a moment. He runs his hands down my spine to my butt, grabbing it and squeezing it, and his fingertips nearly reach my vagina.
I quietly moan as the anticipation of him touching me there sends a wave of goosebumps across my body. He smiles as soon as he hears it and moves his lips to my neck, kissing and licking playfully along my collarbone, down to my nipple.
He stops long enough to circle it perfectly with his tongue, causing more moans to leave my lips. My eyes close in pleasure.
“Tell me again what you need from me, Amber,” he says, looking up at me seductively. Our eyes meet, and fireworks are going off all around us. My head’s spinning as the desire for him is almost too much.
“I need you, Kaden. All of you.”
As soon as the words leave my lips, he springs alive underneath me, flipping me over as he rips off his sweatpants, exposing his rock-hard cock. He slides it into me gently, causing soft moans to escape from us both.
“I’m going to give you a week’s worth of memories to think about all week, Amber. Don’t worry,” he says and thrusts himself deep inside me.
