“Crawfish Etouffee—apparently, the best thing to try when you’re in New Orleans, followed by Beignets.”
We sat on the sofa, eating in silence. The only noise was us groaning from how good it all tasted until eventually I put my plate down on the coffee table. “No more. I can’t eat anymore, otherwise I’ll never sleep.”
“Do you wanna sleep?” Ionee asked, her voice soft with a hint of mischief.
“Well, I’ve not been. Sleeping, I mean. Not very well, anyway.”
“You haven’t? You didn’t say.”
I turned to face her. “I don’t know what I should be telling you. I don’t know what this is. I told you, I’m terrified of doing something that will send you running.”
“Have you been avoiding me?”
I pressed my hand to her knee. “No,” I told her honestly. “But I’ve not been actively seeking you out either. I was in so much pain when you went missing and then you came back and it felt like a miracle, but like you said, a lot has changed for you and I need to respect that. I can’t expect you to just fall back into my arms like nothing happened.”
Unspoken words about the time we’d lost hung heavily in the air around us.
“You’re all I can think about,” she murmured, taking my hand in hers. “The last few days have been awful. That night on the beach was everything and then you just vanished. “
Cupping her cheek, I tilted her head, so she was looking at me. “I’ve been working and the only time I’ve had free has been at night. I didn’t want to assume you’d want me in your bed.”
“I want you, Arch. God, I want you so much.”
I swallowed loudly, but I had no words.
“You told me you didn’t want an option. You wanted instructions. Is that still what you want?” Nee traced her finger along my profile, making my heart hammer in my chest.
“Yes, that’s what I want.”
“Okay, I want you in my bed. Right now. On your stomach. Take your top off.”
I probably should have played it cooler, but I moved faster than lightning, my already hard cock leaking shamelessly.
Nee straddled me, settling across my back. A gasp fell from her lips as her fingers traced the scar on my back. “Is this what happened last time you were in Miami?”
I nodded, not wanting the memory to invade our moment together.
“I'm sorry someone hurt you.” She began massaging my shoulders, pressing hard against my tight, knotted muscles until I panted with need.
“Oh, God. That feels good,” I groaned into the pillows.
“You want more, Arch?” She didn’t wait for me to answer before she bit down on my shoulder as her fingers edged my waistband, lowering my joggers. “Lift,” she instructed, making me raise my hips from the bed, freeing my cock. “I love how hard you always are for me,” she declared as her fingers edged along the side of my shaft, making me want to buck my hips against the mattress as need overwhelmed me.
“Turn over, Arch. I want to see your face.”
Rolling over, seeing her beautiful face hovering over mine, wide eyed, her cheeks flushed, I was hit hard with memories of our past. Her words, the way her body dominated mine, how safe I always felt with her from the minute I met her. Looking at her right now, it would have been so easy to fall into those old memories, but that wasn’t fair. Fuck, it was hard, but she wasn’t the same person and I couldn’t expect the same connection or the same reaction from her.
Obviously noticing I’d gone quiet, her brows furrowed. “You okay?” she whispered. “Did I do something wrong?”
“Fuck no,” I fired out. “Nothing. I promise.”
Spreading my legs wide, she moved between them and dragged her fingers up and down my thighs. She groaned as she stared down at my hard cock, laying heavy against my abs.
“Tell me you want me to touch you, Arch. I need to hear you say it.”
Her hands continued to dance over my skin, making my body arch, shamelessly.
“I want you to touch me. If you’re sure that’s what you want, I want you to do anything you want with me.”
