He shakes his head and stands up. I instantly regret asking him that. I can see it’s not a story he is ready to share with me. So, I decide to share more with him.
“I got divorced because my husband cheated on me and wanted me gone. He didn’t love me anymore. But that was clear when he hit me before and I over-looked that sign. Clearly, I am a great judge of character.”
I begin to sob. Covering my face with my blanket so he can’t see my silent tears. But of course, Caleb has to see my face. He pulls the cover from my face and places his hand on my cheek. He leans in closer to me and I swear I stop breathing. His lips are centimeters away from mine.
“He didn’t deserve you. You deserve to be worshiped and loved.”
He presses his lips to mine, and I die. I scream on the inside, but on the outside, I moan into his mouth as he kisses me softly and passionately, his tongue dips into my mouth when I part my lips. I kiss him back with the same passion as I try to pull him closer to me. He pulls back panting as his chest rises and falls. His eyes search my face, a hint of panic glazes over his eyes.
“I’m sorry, I couldn’t help it. I wanted to kiss you all night. But I shouldn’t have. That’s not fair to you.”
He pulls away shaking his head, but I am there left breathless. That kiss did something to me. It awoken something inside me. A hunger I have never felt before.
“I am a grown woman, Caleb. A kiss is a kiss. Don’t make it out to be more than it was.” I whisper before he pulls back completely.
I lay my head back down on the pillow. He doesn’t move. He stays on the edge of my bed. I can tell he is contemplating what to do or say next.
“So, me kissing you had no effect on you?” His brows hike up as he waits for my response.
I'm not going to tell him how my body was thrumming with electricity just being close to him. Or how my pussy got overly excited when his lips pressed against mine. Or how I wanted him to kiss and touch every part of my body that craved him.
“Ask me when I am not drunk.”
Clearly, I can’t trust my mouth or body right now, as both seem to be wanting to betray me.
JULIA
LOVE ME LIKE YOU DO BY ELLIE GOULDING
Idecide to go for a run today. It feels beautiful out, forecast shows a high of 75 degrees. The wind is blowing, and the sun is hiding in between clouds. I put my yoga pants on and a sports. I grab a sweater and tie it around my waist in case I get cold. I tie my running shoes, grab my backpack and head out the door. When I get outside, I shuffle through my playlist and place the earbuds in my ear tuning the world out.
Instead of going down the hill, I run up it, which already kills my legs. I pick up speed once I am up the hill. I look at the hiking trails and choose the one that points to a waterfall. I put my phone in my pocket and when I look back at the trail, I see Caleb. He stops running as soon as he sees me. He seems out of breath, the sweat slowly rolling down his chiseled abs makes me groan. I shake my head as I tell myself I can’t have him.
I remove my earbuds placing them in my pocket. He wipes his forehead off with a towel he had hidden in his back pocket before his eyes meet mine.
“Julia. I didn’t know you run.” He smiles as he chugs down his water. I watch as his Adam's apple bobs when he swallows.
“I don’t, often. I just felt like it today. Do you run? On this trail? Often?”
I sound lame. I can’t even keep a conversation with him right now because all I want to do is kiss him again. I may have been drunk, but that memory was seared into my brain. I have never been kissed with such intensity like that before. He places his hands on his hips, all his muscles flexed as he breaths.
He looks out at the trail ahead, “Mind if I join you? I’m not tired yet.”
“Sure. You lead the way.” I jog in place ready to follow behind him and gawk at his ass. What can I say, I am a horny woman who hasn’t been fucked in months. I’ll take any visual stimulation I can get at this point.
We spend the next half hour running up and down the trail. My legs were on fire by the time we reached the river. The trees whistle as the sound of rushing water fills the forest. The ground is covered with fallen leaves, coloring the floor with beautiful colors.
“This is beautiful.”
I admire my surroundings. He holds out his hand, I accept it as he leads me over a fallen tree trunk that takes us across the river. I clench onto his arm, ensuring I don’t fall. He looks down where my hand lays and smiles.
“Wait until you see hidden nook.” He says as he jets off down another path.
I try not to trip on the rocks as I follow him. I can see the river on the left of us, we are still along it. When we emerge from the trees, my eyes widen. The waterfall of Everwood Peaks is huge. The water cascades down into a large pond below us, dispensing down the river.
“Julia, this way.”
I look at Caleb who holds onto the rocks edge against the waterfall. He quickly disappears behind the curtain of rushing water.
