Hesqueezes them tightly, then lets go, stands and moves around the table until he’s beside me.Ipush my chair back and turn to face him.Grabbingmy hand again, he tugs me gently to my feet.
“Iknow it’s a lot.Iknow you need time to think about it, and to decide whether you can forgive me.Ifyou want me to go now,I’llgo, as long as you knowI’llkeep coming back for you.I’llwait however longIneed to for you to be ready to trust me again.ButShae…”Hisgaze sweeps over my face, andI’mtransfixed as his eyes darken and he dips his head. “Ilove you, andI’vemissed you so damn much.Ijust need to kiss you.Justone kiss.Please.”
Theheat of his fingers on my skin is searing, and my knees go weak.Hetowers over me, and suddenly,Ineed it too.Ineed to feel his intensity.Histouch.Hiskiss.
Irest my hands on his shoulders and go up on my toes. “Thisdoesn’t meanI’mmoving toLA.”
Hiseyes bounce between mine, and he nods solemnly, then he slowly lowers his head to mine.Thefirst soft brush of his lips has heat flaring up my spine.Andthen any restraint he had is gone.Heinvades me.Histongue thrusting into my mouth, his taste filling my senses.I’mlost, pulled under by a wave of love and desire.
Withoutbreaking the kiss, he picks me up by the hips and lowers me onto the table.Iwrap my legs around his waist and press my body to his.BeforeIknow it, he’s pulling my tank top over my head and discarding it.I’mnot wearing a bra, and he groans when he finds my bare breasts.
Thenhe’s pushing me back and stripping off hisT-shirt.Myshorts are next.Withhis thumbs tucked into the waistband, he pulls them down my legs.Iknow what’s coming, andIshould protest.Ishould stop him.Tellhim we shouldn’t rush things.ButIcan’t.Ican’t.Ineed this.Ineed him.
Withhis hands pressing my thighs apart, he drops to his knees, the heat of his breath on my core.Myhead falls back against the table, and at the first touch of his tongue on my sensitive skin, my back arches, andIgive myself over to him.
Icould have this.Withhim.Forthe rest of our lives ifIjust take a chance.Stepout of my comfort zone, the little boxIbuilt around myself to lick my wounds afterPhillip.
Hisfingers are inside me now, his tongue pushing me higher, and allIcan think is thatIcan’t walk away from this.Ican’t walk away from him.Hehurt me, but he’s been hurt too.Andhe’s here, offering me his heart, taking a chance.Living.Andgod,Iwant to live my life with him.
I’mso close now, my legs shaking, fire licking along my skin. “Wait,Devon.Stop.Iwant you…Ineed you inside me.”
Hejerks upright.Hiseyes so dark blue with desire they’re almost black. “Areyou sure?”
“Yes,”Icry out, close to tears.I’mso desperate to be joined with him.
Heunbuckles his jeans and pushes them down, then grabs my hips and drags me farther off the table.Whenthe heat of his crown is pressed against my sex, it’s too much, too torturous.Ireach for him, and he comes to me, sinking into me as he braces his arms on either side of my shoulders.
Tanglingmy fingers in his hair,Idrag him the last few inches toward my mouth.We’rekissing, and he’s moving inside me, and tears leak from the corners of my eyes at how good it is.Howright we are.
I’mclose, my hips rising to meet his, and he pulls back to get more leverage. “God,Shae.Youdrive me crazy.Ican’t live without this.Ican’t live without you.”
“Ilove you,Devon.Somuch.”
Hegroans, his jaw tensing.He’son the edge, just like me.Withhis arms wrapped around me, he pulls me upright soI’mpressed to his chest.Hismovements slow, and he rocks against me. “Ilove you.I’mnot letting you go.Tellme you understand.Tellme you won’t let me go either.”
“Iwon’t let go.I’llnever let go.”
Hismouth is on mine again, the thrust of his tongue matching the thrust of his hips—possessive, claiming.Everymovement rubs against my clit, andIcry out as my orgasm barrels through me.
“Jesus.Fuck,Shae.”Helifts me from the table so he can slam me down on his erection.Iarch my back at how deep he is inside me.Thenhe’s coming, and the pulse of his shaft against my swollen inner walls makes me spasm harder around him.
WhenDevonfinally lays me back down,I’mshaking so hardI’msurprised the table doesn’t rattle beneath me.
Hesmooths my hair back from my face, his eyes dark, tender, full of love. “We’redoing this,Shae.Youand me.We’redoing this.You’regonna go to school inLAand we’re going to make this work.Yes?”
Inod, at a loss for words.Hislips curve in a smile so sexy, my body quivers again.
“Youwon’t regret this, beautiful.I’llspend every day making sure of it.”
Irun trembling fingers down his cheek. “AndI’llspend every day making sure you knowIwon’t walk away from you.”
“You’rethe love of my life,Shae.Myhome.Myhappiness.You’regoing to do amazing things.Ican’t wait to see your paintings hanging on gallery walls all overLA.Hell, all over the world.”
Ilaugh asIstroke my fingers over his stubbled jaw. “Letme see ifIcan get into art school first.”
“Youwill,Bambi.Ihave no doubt.”
