She presses a soft kiss to my lips. It’s not like the first kiss we had today. It’s gentle and sweet, not driving us together in the same way, but tugging at our hearts.

When she lifts her lips off mine, she tucks some stray curls behind my ear. “Mackenzie…”

“Hm?”

“I… have your answer.”

“My answer?”

“To the question you asked me the night I took care of you.”

Oh.

My eyes widen.

“If you still want to know,” she says quickly.

Do you still love me?

“I do.” My voice is barely a whisper. I know what she said when she thought I was asleep, but I’m desperate to hear her answer now.

Her eyes are glassy, but there’s a look of unwavering certainty on her face. “I love you, Mackenzie. I’ve loved you since I was seventeen, and I never stopped for a second. Loving you isn’t something that can come and go. It’s a part of me. I’ll always love you. Always want you. I know I’ve hurt you, but if you want—”

I cut her off with a kiss so hard it could bruise my lips, but I need her to know the truth. I need her to feel it. She’s spent so long feeling unloved and unwanted. She’s healing now, but I don’t ever want her to feel that way again.

“I love you too,” I say in a gasp as I rip my lips from hers. “It’s impossible not to. You’re woven into my heart, and that’s where I want you to be.”

She starts the kiss this time. It’s forceful and needy. She fists my hair and pulls me flush against her, stealing my breath and absolutely owning me. When she sniffs and whimpers, I break our kiss, watching as tears slide down her cheeks.

“I love you,” she whispers again. “I love you, Angel.”

“I love you too, Wild Thing.” I rest my head against hers and we both laugh. “Where do we go from here?”

A shamelessly lustful smile appears on her face, and she takes my hand. “I have an idea.”

“Hy,” I groan, bracing a hand against the apartment door as I fumble with my keys.

“What’s wrong, Angel?” she breathes against my neck as her fingers slide farther inside my pants.

I finally get the key in the lock and we tumble through the door, hands all over each other as we kiss and grind together, moaning and desperate.

Cocoa is with my mom tonight, so thankfully she won’t be disturbed by our frantic, messy kissing.

I fumble with the zipper on Hyla’s dress as she unbuttons my pants. The suit was sexy, but it got uncomfortable fast. We kick off our shoes as we stumble toward my bedroom. It’s been a long time. More than two years since we last slept together, but that never made me stop thinking about her. As angry and hurt as I was by what Mari did, she was right when she left that day. I always wanted Hyla. If Hyla had shown up and told me she still loved me and wanted everything with me, I would’ve ended things with Mari in a heartbeat.

It’s always been Hyla.

It’ll always be Hyla.

Even when we’re messy and don’t know exactly what we’re doing—like right now.

For once, I don’t care.

We’re naked before we hit the bed, and she climbs on top of me, her soft skin melting against mine.

“What do you want?” she asks, her long blonde hair framing her perfect pink tits. I want them in my mouth, I want…

“You. I want to feel you and taste you and touch you all night. I want your mouth on my clit and your fingers in my pussy. I want to scream your name while you cry out mine. I want us, over and over again. When we’re done, I want to fall asleep in your arms.” My throat constricts as vulnerability hits me all over again. “And when I wake up, I want you to be here.” Too many times, I’ve fallen asleep wrapped around her and woken up alone in a cold bed.
