“I asked her to. I read every last one. Word for word. I didn’t stop until I read them all. Every time the guard would come to my cell to tell me you were there, I already knew it. I felt you. A huge part of me didn’t want you to see me like that. I didn’t want you to see the man that I had become. The man I hardly recognized anymore. I was a miserable bastard the entire time I was locked up. I barely spoke to anyone. I kept to myself. I purposely started fights so that they would put me in the hole and I didn’t have to be around anyone and I could get lost in my own thoughts. Memories. Of you.” He laughed, his thumb rubbing back and forth along the pulse of my neck.
“I should have known better when they said I was getting out early for good behavior. I was anything but.”
He looked deep into my eyes for a few seconds, contemplating what to say as I waited on pins and needles.
So when he said, “I hated you.”
I felt all my wishful thinking come apart.
DYLAN
“But mostly… I hated you because I couldn’t stop loving you.”
She visibly relaxed.
“This last year I’ve done a lot of soul searching. For the first time in my life I was lost. I tried to find that man. The one that you met. The one that you loved. The one that was made just for you. I couldn’t find him. The more I searched, the harder it was to accept that I might never be him again. The more time we spent together, the more I started to laugh, I started to smile, I started to feel like I was alive again. It was then that I understood that you could save me, too.”
She finally leaned into my touch. I yearned to feel her. Wanting her to give me anything she could.
“I couldn’t forgive you, suga’, until I forgave myself,” I sincerely spoke.
She closed her eyes, taking in my words. As if she wanted to remember them forever.
To remember this moment for the rest of her life.
I leaned in close to her lips, resisting the desire to claim her mouth, the urge to make her mine once again.
“I love you, Aubrey,” I breathed against her mouth. “I have never stopped loving you. I belong to you. Just you and me. You’re my girl.”
She didn’t hesitate, “Promise?”
I smiled along her lips before I softly pecked her. I kissed her slowly, wanting to savor this moment as much as she was.
“Always,” I murmured, parting my lips, beckoning her to do the same.
She did.
We kissed for the first time in what felt like an eternity.
My chest rose and fell with each deep breath I took. I placed my hand over her heart and it felt like it beat for me and only me.
Like it never stopped.
With my hands framing her face, I kissed her again. Slower, more delicate, and defined this time. Less frantic, and desperate, but with the same intensity and passion.
“Dylan,” she panted.
I bit her bottom lip and stood up bringing her with me. She wrapped her legs around my waist. I wanted to take my time with her. Remembering every last inch of her gorgeous body.
The layers of all our regrets were stripped away and all that was left was us.
I couldn’t stop kissing her. Not for one damn second. I set her against the wall and her eyes immediately widened. My hands lightly grazed up and down her thighs.
Her eyes were different, yet I had seen them like that before.
We gazed into each other’s eyes as I claimed her mouth the way I wanted to. Her breathing labored and I waited for the words that never came. I leaned away from her, putting some space between us. Her eyes dilated, knowing what I was going to do next. I moved my hand tortuously slow down to her soft bare folds, feeling her wetness seep through her panties onto my fingers. I proceeded to make circles around her clit, my techniques continued to become more persistent and demanding. Her legs started shaking, her eyes closed, and her head fell back against the wall.
“Don’t close your eyes,” I ordered.
