“You’re too far from me,” he says as he sits me down on his lap. He tugs me closer to him and looks all over my face. He leans in to kiss me, but I pull away.
“Please let me clean these wounds, Larson. You’re hurting.” But it’s a lost cause. He ignores me and puts his head in the crook of my neck.
“You smell so good, babe.”
“I smell like sweat,” I laugh out. He chuckles and begins kissing up and down the area.
God, my core is close to exploding. Something like a moan slips from my lips before I grab the peroxide and gauze next to him. I apply the wet gauze to his shoulder as he continues to kiss my neck. He’s so affectionate.
After I finish with his shoulder, I put the stuff down and look at the bruise. Well, theseriesof bruises on his shoulders. Who did this to him?
The fact that he refuses to tell me is concerning. I kiss his shoulder...and again...and again. He stops his pursuit on my neck and pulls back to look at me. I smile at him. He smiles back.
“What happened to you, Jake? Who did this to you?” I can’t help my voice breaking.
“You’re so beautiful.” He ignores the question. He’s so good at dodging. I start to say something, but I stop when I see another bruise on his neck. Did...the bastardpunchhim on the neck?
“Baby, I’m so sorry this happened to you.”
He stares at me for a second before laughing it off. “It’s fine.”
I start to say something again, but he forcefully pulls me against him, causing me to yelp. We fall on the bed as he rubs my back.
“You can’t keep dodging, Larson.” I want to help him. Comfort him. But I can’t do that if he won’t tell me who beat him this badly.
“I’m not dodging. I could never dodge with you. You’re just...my happy place. Every time I’m with you, it’s a reminder that there’s a good side to humanity.”
He’s breaking my heart. “I’m glad to hear that, but you can talk to me, you know that, right?” He nods, unsnapping my bra. “Larson!” I scream, but my ovaries react differently.
He laughs and throws it on the floor. “Enough talking, babe.” Fair enough. I just smile and inch up to his face. He stares at me, and I gaze into those piercing eyes.
He stares at me like it’s everything.
LikeI’meverything.
I brush my lips against his and wrap my arms around his neck. His arms wrap around my thighs as he holds them in place.Thisis everything. Nothing can take away from this. And I’m keeping it for as long as I can.
