Lance: You’re forgetting what I was willing to settle for before you brought me here
Lance: To even be a thought that runs through your mind is more than enough
Lies.
Because if this woman will have me, I’m going to marry her.
Lance: What do you need?
She doesn’t reply to my message, and I lie staring at her words for over five minutes before tossing my phone and scrubbing at my face.
Was I too much? It didn’t feel that way, not at all. She wanted it. She instigated it. And fuck if she wasn’t right there with me.
I don’t regret last night.
Her words rein in my racing heart.
Reminders of the night before sets it wild.
Reaching down, I palm my growing cock, the need to ease the ache overwhelming.
The feel of her spread over my lap.
Her pussy.
The way her lips felt against mine.
The way her heart beat beneath my palm.
I sear that memory into my mind over and over, wondering when the next time will be that I get to feel it.
There’s a tap on the door, and I still, her silhouette a shadow in the darkness as she steps into the room. I swallow, and blink, my cock twitching as it fails to catch up.
Her breathing is fast, not chest-heaving, body-trembling fast, but quickened enough that I notice.
She walks to the empty side of the bed, pulls back the covers, and slides in.
Wordlessly, knowing, I reach over and flick on my bedside light, waiting in the dimly lit room for her breathing to even out before I close my eyes and relax into the pillow.
“I’m just scared,” she whispers.
I open my eyes, finding her watching me with so much anguish, I’m rendered speechless.
“You terrify me, Lance.”
I lean in and kiss her forehead, a piece of shit man who can’t stay away.
Her hand flattens against my bare chest, telling me to stay close as her eyes close. The tips of her fingers brush through the fine hairs beneath them.
“Can I ask for time but not space? Is it awful of me to ask for that?”
I chuckle, lifting her hand on my chest to my lips, tentatively dusting my thumb over the diamond that’s back on her right ring finger.
Not where I left it.
“Sunshine, you could ask me to bleed purple, and I’d find a way.”
For a second today, I thought I got it all wrong. I thought I got her all wrong. I smile and bring her closer, holding her against me as I wrap her in my arms. “Sleep, Scar. We’ll figure it out.”
