“I plan to do that,” I said, then managed to get to the foot of the stairs.
He groaned and swooped me off my feet again like I weighed nothing, then he walked up the stairs to the bedroom. Once he laid me on the bed, I swallowed hard and licked my lips nervously. Tommy didn’t move from my side even after he set me on the bed. He stared at me, his gaze drifted down to my lips, and he stared harder.
I felt dizzy like I would faint, but it was the rush of adrenaline pumping through my blood. Vaguely, I remembered a line from my last single …His love makes me mad like a drug.
That line could perfectly describe what Tommy was doing to me at that moment. He started to inch closer, and I feared that if he kissed me, I would lose myself and beg him to take me this time. but his phone rang in his pocket and ruined the moment.
I pressed my lips together and held my breath when he pulled away from me and walked out of the room. This hunger for him would drive me insane. I could feel it, just like I could feel my heartbeat.
Tommy
Twomorningslater,Ibelieved Leah was feeling a whole lot better because I could hear movement up in the bedroom that night, and it was messing with my sleep.
Could her presence be less obvious?I wondered. I desperately needed a way to get her out of the cottage, especially since I was constantly thinking about her now and craving her taste.
That night, I lost control, but I stopped myself from taking her then because I knew what it would mean. If I had sex with Leah, then my body would crave her without remorse. I wanted to hang on to the tiny thread of control I had left.
The sounds kept coming from upstairs. I tossed on the couch, covered my ears with a pillow, and tried to shut out the sounds.
What is she doing up there?I wondered.
Curious, I got on my feet and jogged up the stairs to the bedroom. One knock, then I launched the door open and saw her standing in the middle of the disarranged room.
My wide eyes bounced from the bed she had pulled to the center of the room to her.
“I’m rearranging,” she said before I even asked a question. She was panting, and she put her hands on her hips, then moved away from the bed. “This place is dull … It gives me nightmares. I want to hang wallpaper on the wall or change the paint then order a new bed. What do you think of sea green? I think it’s vibrant and will give this place the boost it so desperately needs.”
She wiped the sweat off her forehead as she walked to me, and I got lost in admiring her lovely body for a second. The pink shorts she wore stopped an inch below her baggy t-shirt, and her hair was braided down.
“Are you in high school?” I stormed into the room fully and banged the door close behind me. “I don’t need you rearranging my space … This is my space, and you’re not going to be here for much longer so why are you trying to change it?’
“Who says I won’t be here for long?” she questioned. “I’m not you, Tommy, I don’t move around as I please and forget that a place should be called home.”
My heart reacted to her words with a throbbing ache. It slashed through me and brought forth a familiar ache because I knew she was referring to the one time, I decided to leave Dallas for good. I ended up changing my mind because Danielle was against it, but it didn’t change the fact that my daughter had believed I didn’t care about her.
I traveled a lot back then and it would have been easier if we moved upstate. Danielle was too young to understand the dynamics of my life back then and obviously neither did Leah.
“You don’t know what you’re talking about,” I said to her, biting back the sharp reply that should have come out of my lips. “Just put the room back to the way it was and leave it be.”
I turned away but she ignored me and continued pulling the bed from the wall.
“Dammit, Leah can you just listen?” I yelled as I walked back to her, took her by the shoulders, and made her face me. “You’re driving me insane,” I continued, unable to stop myself now. “You’re driving me insane, and it has nothing to do with the bed. You make me …” My voice trailed off, and my gaze searched hers. Nerves tingled throughout my body. She made me feel things I hadn’t felt in a long time.
“You make me want to lose control,” I continued as I pressed her to my body. “You think I want to do this? Do you think I want to listen to you move things around and rearrange? I didn’t want you here because you’re driving me insane with need.”
My rant probably did not deter her because she stared me in the eye and hiked her chin high. “I’m not scared of you, Tommy,” she whispered, but her voice sounded husky to me and that excited me more.
“You should be,” I said in a raspy tone. “Oh, you should be, Leah because …”
She silenced me with a kiss and that was the end of it. My words made no sense after all. All I wanted was to taste her. My entire body seemed to tauten even as I kissed her, deepening the kiss and sliding my tongue into her hot mouth.
She pressed harder into me, wrapped her hands around my neck and I caressed her back, touched her behind, and squeezed her. Leah was soft, her supple body was for my pleasure, I was certain of it.
When she trembled, my body pulsed with nervous energy, and I harden in my pants. Her scent was what I could smell, and I dragged my lips from hers, kissed a path down her back, and swallowed her harsh breathing with another kiss.
We both sprang apart after a long time. Her cheeks gained a red shade, and my chest rose rapidly to show my haggard breathing. She staggered away from me and touched her lips. Her wild response to my kiss threw me off balance, and now I was confused and hungry for her.
“I’m not sorry,” I blurted, not knowing what else to say.
