I back up and place my hands on my hips, admiring how it looks. I swallow hard and blink away the emotion threatening to drip out of my eyes. Instinctively, my hand covers my face. A bubble of air gets stuck in my throat and my eyes feel like they’re burning.
“Hey,” Blythe says as she walks up behind me and slides a hand over my shoulder blade. “Do you hate it?”
I shake my head and turn to pull her in for a hug. My chin rests on the top of her head where it fits just right.
“It’s perfect. You’re perfect. You’re still here… and I already miss you.”
“I saw it at the flea market last weekend and I thought you’d love it,” she says.
It’s a more personal gift than I’ve ever received, other than the custom leather belt Warren got me for my birthday a few years back. This is more special though. She never asked me what I might want for Christmas, she just knew what I’d like. Old records used to be my favorite thing to collect. I have a feeling that’s changing because now all that I want to collect are as many memories as possible just like this one.
I hope she likes the new laptop I got for her. The one she uses now never has as much storage as she needs, and it looks like a woodpecker mistook it for a tree. I had to overnight a pink one with some new stickers to go on it. Something told me she’d be secretly sad if it was a boring silver.
Chapter 37
Gage
The packed suitcase across the room taunts me from where I lay in bed. It sits next to the door, just waiting to be taken to the airport. I stare at it with a mix of disdain and pride. I’m unbelievably proud of Blythe for going for her dreams. I never would have fallen for a girl who wasn’t as driven and determined as she is.
It’s not my place to beg her to stay or find something closer. I don’t want to fuck this up, and I don’t want her to make decisions about her career based on a new relationship.
She’s it for me, and I know that with every fiber of my being. But that’s beside the point. I can’t expect her to feel that strongly about us yet.
The selfish part of me is on the verge of tears. From our conversations about what a residency entails, I know good and well I won’t be seeing as much of her as I’d like. Foryears. I’m stuck between coming up with ways to get her to reconsider leaving and figuring out the logistics of flying to Tucson every day just to sleep next to her.
I’m next to her now, so I push away the negative thoughts and snuggle closer to her.
“Mmm,” she moans as she arches her back against me. You’d think I was floating by the way her ass pushing back on my cock makes me feel. Weightless. Out of this world. I kiss her hair and smooth my palm over the flat of her stomach.
“Gage,” she whispers.
“Yeah, baby?”
“I need—”
My hand travels farther south, slipping under the waistband of her shorts and pressing down on her clit. She throws her head back and I take the opportunity to move aside, letting her turn completely on her back. As I pull down her shorts and hover over her, it’s my mouth that takes over this time.
If you ever catch yourself smiling while eating a girl out at the same time, you’re a goner dude.
And that’s exactly what I’m doing. Fucking happy as a clam just to taste her. I’m right where I need to be. Her hands digging into my skull and my tongue on her. She pulls at my hair, telling me to come up for air. I’m not having it.
“Gage,please. I want to feel you inside me when I come,” she begs.
My chin only lifts for a second. “I’ll fuck you when I’m good and ready,” I growl before pulling her clit back into my mouth with one long suck.
I plan to devour her until my face falls off before she leaves today, even if my cock straining against the mattress under me agrees with her and would rather me stop and fuck her as soon as possible. I’m too busy savoring her to do that yet.
Only minutes later, when the insides of her thighs are red from my beard, and I feel her insides clench and tighten around my fingers, do I crawl up her body. I leave kisses and licks over every surface of her skin as I go, not leaving a single spot untouched. I want to memorize every part of her.
When I make it up to her mouth, I suck on her bottom lip. She brings a hand to the back of my head and lifts her hips up to meet mine. We speak our own wordless language with the next kiss.
I’ll be back soon, she says.
You can go wherever you want. As long as you come back to me, I say back.
Without breaking the kiss, I pull my hips back and then push into her. One, two, three, deep and claiming thrusts.
“I’m not going to last, you feel too good. I need to get a condom,” I grunt.
