“Mmmm, you taste just like I imagined.”
I pull back to look at him again, laughing. “And how is that?”
“Like sin.” Taking another nip at my bottom lip between his teeth, I know one thing for sure.
“You might think I’m sin, but you are trouble, there’s no disputing that.”
A deep laugh barrels from Ghost as I slide to the side of him and rest my head on his chest.
Lying together in silence for what seems like a long time but is just minutes, I can hear his heart beating away under me, slowly returning to a normal rhythm, although I’m not sure mine is back there yet. I’ve been desperate for Ghost, but the truth is, I don’t know what the hell this means. When this is all over, he won’t be able to be with me and could be shipped somewhere else for work. I don't even know where I’m going to end up. I may never be able to return to any sort of normal life.
“Stop thinking so hard. Just stay in the moment with me.” Feeling his hand stroking down my back and bringing me comfort, I look up into his eyes.
“I’m just scared. How many moments are we actually going to get?” I can’t help it, with my heart open so wide and vulnerable, the tears are slowly running down my cheeks.
“No, don’t do that. You need to understand.” Rolling to his side so we're facing each other, he pulls me close and makes sure I’m not going anywhere. Anchoring me to him.
“I told you. You needed to be sure, because you are mine, and I’m not letting you go. Not now, not ever.” He kisses my forehead, with his lips lingering there for longer than normal. Like he's marking me as his.
“But how will that even work? There are so many things we don’t know. What will happen, and where will you be when this is over?” I try to sit up, but his arm just locks me tighter to him.
“With you. That is where I’ll be. That’s the simple answer.”
“Noah.”
“Cassie. Believe me. I’m not letting you go, not now, not ever.”
I want to believe him, but it’s hard to think. It’s just a post-orgasmic bubble we are both lying in. Nothing is that easy.
Life is hard, and I’ve just managed to make it ten times harder for both of us.
GHOST
I can see the uncertainty written all over her face. Nothing I say will reassure her that I mean it. The moment I saw her walking in through the back door that first day, her head down and apologizing to me for ruining my day, I knew there was something special hiding behind those scared and sad eyes. I knew that if I could see the real woman behind the wall then she would be something to behold, and I was right.
When she finally let the barrier down to trust me, the change was like the birth of a new spirit. Cassie’s eyes tell me who the real person is that she’s been hiding for fear of getting hurt.
The sparkle and bright life that bounces around in her beautiful big brown eyes hypnotizes me.
“I wish I could believe you.” Her voice is barely a whisper, and I don’t push the point. I need to show her rather than trying to tell her. Too many times her concerns were ignored and dismissed. This time she just needs to work through the doubts until her eyes open and she sees the truth.
I’m her protector, body and soul.
I change the subject, trying to derail her thoughts. We need to talk about something else. “So, can we talk about you breaking the rules just now?”
I can't help but laugh at the look of surprise on her face.
“I wasn’t the only one.” She gives me a bit of a shove in the chest. Nice try, baby, but I’m not letting you go yet. “I can confirm I’ve never orgasmed that hard from my own doing.”
If the thought of watching her touch herself doesn’t have my dick perking up again.
“I’d like to witness that.”
The soft glow on her cheeks is something I would love to try to put there more often. For someone who was so confident a moment ago, it’s totally wiped off her face now.
“Don’t joke about that.” Wait, what?
“I'm not joking, Cassie. Watching you get yourself off in a show just for me would be hot as fuck.”
