I sag back into bed, and Destiny is there with me.
A light scratch at the door sends me padding over.
The second I open it, the husky darts for the bed, her little nails scraping the floor.
Smiling as Molly licks her face, Dess looks at me curiously.
“It’s fine. The bed’s big enough for three,” I mutter.
And damn, she feels divine in my arms all night, even with the canine lump stretched between our legs.
I don’t dare let myself think she belongs here in my life.
That’s a stupid thought, but having her here tonight definitely feels right.
I rub her back slowly, twining my hand in her hair.
When our lips meet again, it’s like a reunion.
Slow and tender and so bittersweet it’s hard to breathe.
Kissing Destiny tastes like coming home after a hard day and smelling a decadent pie.
She’s a warm bath, a glass of wine.
A sip of forgetfulness I need.
If only it wasn’t so addictive, greedily drinking her sweetness as the darkness fades into something brighter.
Goddamned stunning.
Just three days alone with her combined, and I’ve forgotten all the reasons I ever despised her. If only I could see myself with someone like her. After Serena, withanyone.
But I don’t.
I can’t.
My heart is scar tissue, and Dess deserves better than damaged goods.
Prolonging this shit by making her think I could ever give her something more feels catastrophic.
I should get up right now and walk the hell away.
She hooks a leg over my hip and looks down at me, her lips red and swollen. Her hair falls past her face and she brushes it back.
“I’m only going to say this once,” she says, shifting so she’s over me, the husky lump moving to the floor by my fireplace.
I’m hard again, and by the way she positions herself, she knows it.
“Just once,” she whispers.
“Okay, once. What?”
“It’s not your fault.” She sinks down on me then.
The mingled wetness from last time makes me slide inside her almost immediately.
My hands clasp her ass like she’s the only thing keeping me from drowning in regrets.
