I gripped the blankets and cried out as he continued stroking me. I clenched tightly around him, feeling my body let go.
“That’s it, baby. Let go.” He groaned as he continued thrusting deep and fast into me, until his body tensed and he let go, collapsing onto me.
We lay in bed wrapped in one another in the wee hours of Sunday morning. I was exhausted. We hadn’t only had sex once but twice, and only a few minutes ago, the third time ended. Only something had changed. It was slower, more sensual, and when it was over, he’d pulled me into his arms and held me in a way he hadn’t before. Everything from the way he’d looked at me, the way he’d touched me, to the way he’d kissed me had changed.
I lay with my eyes closed, feeling his light breath against my shoulder. He was wrapped around me in a protective embrace that I loved. I swallowed hard as I thought back to how things were even different from Thursday night. As the weekend passed, I’d noticed many little things had changed. Conversations flowed way easier between us, and all those accidental touches felt normal but still sent waves through me. Our hands lingered longer on each other, and we fell into sync with one another. Everything was different with Asher than it had ever been with Miles.
I was certain Asher was asleep, and I let out a ragged breath. Anxiety had filled me, and it felt like I had an elephant sitting on my chest just thinking about what tomorrow night would be like when I told him I couldn’t do this anymore. I shifted my body a little, trying to get comfortable.
“What’s wrong?” he whispered and pulled me tighter into him.
“Nothing. I… I just a bad dream,” I replied, rubbing his muscular forearm. I wasn’t lying. This entire situation was a nightmare.
“Can’t have that,” he whispered, his lips kissing my bare shoulder, up my neck to my ear. I rolled a little onto my back, where I met his mouth.
He kissed me slow, and as our lips parted, he met my eyes. “Can I tell you something?”
I nodded.
“I think I’m falling in love with you.” He met my lips again, kissing me deeper, his tongue washing through my mouth.
I was screwed.
Bella
“Brie,I have to go to my doctor’s appointment at one today,” I said as Brielle walked into the office where I was working on the upcoming schedule.
“No problem. Will you be coming back afterward?”
“I dunno. What’s this appointment like?” I asked, looking at her growing belly.
“Ah, let me think. It should just be an ultrasound. You should be fine. Did you want me to go with you? I mean, I could,” she said, glancing around at the mess on her desk.
“No, I was just wondering.”
“Well, it’s totally up to you. See what time your appointment ends, and if you don’t feel like coming back, then it’s not a big deal. You were in early today anyway. I don’t think we are going to be that busy tonight.”
“Okay, thanks.”
“I noticed Asher was here last night when I left.”
“Yeah, he came by to see me. I hope it’s okay that I took my dinner hour with him?”
Brie frowned. “I thought you were going to end things with him?”
She was right. I was supposed to end things with him three weeks ago. Only I hadn’t been able to. Every single time I’d gathered the courage, I fell in love with him a little more. My heart was content and happy, something it hadn’t been in years.
I shrugged. “I was, but…”
“But what?” Brie stood there looking at me, her hand on her hip, waiting for me to respond.
Suddenly, Sawyer appeared in the doorway. In one hand, he held what was surely Brie’s lunch and her laptop bag.
“You forgot these in the car.” He smiled, stepping in and placing them down on the floor beside the desk. I watched as he placed his hand on her belly, leaned in, and kissed her. “I’ll pick you up after work, okay, baby? Take it easy today,” he said, kissing her again before even noticing I was in the room.
“Hey, Bella. How you feeling?”
“Good, Sawyer, thanks for asking.” I smiled, watching as he kissed her again.
