“I’m sorry, C-Mar. I need to talk to you.”
I glanced at him, but I didn’t say anything. I felt like I was overlooked for that bitch and now that things didn’t work out, he wanted to try with me. It was making me angry that it felt like I was his rebound chick… only second best.
“I’m rushing into this, and I know it’s because I’m feeling emotional right now. I want to be with you, baby. I’ve always wanted to be with you. Truth is, as you’ve said before, I was afraid. I don’t want to hurt you, and I don’t want to be hurt in return. I’m feeling you, and I’ve been feeling you since day one. I ain’t never felt this strongly for a woman or been this sensitive with one. Holding you for hours didn’t feel crazy as hell to me, and I know that’s a sign that you’re the one I’m supposed to be with.”
“So why did you waste time with her?”
“I was in denial and allowed fear to win. Jericho had told me that I had his blessing a while ago if I was serious about you.”
My emotions were overwhelmed. My heart was happy as shit, but my mind wanted to think the worst. He grabbed my hand and said, “I get that you’re hesitant. I’m gonna be the man I’ve always been to you, regardless of your decision. Okay?”
I nodded as I closed my eyes. He stood from the couch, and I grabbed his pants around the waistband. “Wait.”
I stood from my seat and stared up at him. My breathing had gotten heavier, and I knew I had to have him. I had to see where this would go, despite my reservations. When I pressed my body against his, he lowered his head and kissed me again. I wrapped my arms around his neck for a moment and slowly pulled away. “Jungle, although I’m not a virgin, I’m not as experienced as you think I might be.”
“Did you sleep with him?”
I lowered my head, but he lifted it by my chin. “I’m not condemning you. I just know that webothneed to get blood tests done and not just me. Don’t worry about shit. I’m gonna take good care of you. Don’t do this because you think it’s what I want. I mean… it is what I want, but I want more. I can wait if you need me to. Put you first, baby.”
“I’ve been wanting this for a long time, but I realized that I have some issues.”
He licked his lips, then scooped me up and held me close to him like I was precious. “I told you I got’chu. We can eat first, or I can eat first. Fuck a blood test. I need to taste you.”
My body trembled at his words, then I whispered, “We can eat later.”
He bit his bottom lip and made his way up the stairs while holding my gaze. Damn, I loved this man, and I was finally about to see how it felt when he loved me in return.
CHAPTER11
JUNGLE
Icarried Chelsea upstairs to my bedroom. I had never been surer about anything in my life as I was at this moment. This woman was the one for me, and I was anxious to make all her doubts dissipate. I didn’t blame her for being hesitant. It seemed like she was my second choice. Kennedy was my second choice, because I didn’t think I deserved my first choice.
When I laid her on my bed, I could see how nervous she was. I slid in bed with her, but on top of her. I didn’t try to touch her intimate parts right away. I stared into her eyes as I rubbed her hair. She was so beautiful. She was thick in all the right places, and I was ready to explore all that thickness and what it had to offer.
Her lips were so fucking soft. I couldn’t keep mine from hers for too long. I lowered my face to hers and gently kissed her cheek then her neck. She was so quiet I had to lift my head to make sure she was okay. Her eyes were closed tight. It was then that I knew what she meant by “issues”.
“Look at me, baby. Stay in the moment with me.”
She slowly opened her eyes, and I could see the nervousness in them. I began unbuttoning the shirt she’d stolen from me but did my best to maintain eye contact. I nearly lost my shit when I saw the scars on her body. She quickly tried to hide them. I grabbed her wrists and pinned her arms above her head.
Her eyes fluttered, and she tried to close them. “Naw, baby. Right here. Keep your eyes on me, C. Tell me what you’re feeling right now, baby.”
She looked away for a moment, then she said, “I feel anxious. Somewhat nervous that I won’t please you.”
“I’m already pleased. You have a beautiful body… every inch of it. I hope I’m everything you’ve been anticipating, baby. I can fuck all day, but for the first time, I wanna make love.”
A soft moan left her lips, and it looked to have shocked even her. She closed her eyes, and I had to remind her. “Baby, I need you to stay here with me. Can you do that? I need you to experience everything I’m about to experience. I wanna paint a new narrative for you. Okay?”
I knew she was closing her eyes to zone out. I’d seen enough rape victims’ testimonials about it to know. She’d been raped for so long it was the only thing she knew to do. She’d probably realized it was a problem when she was with that nigga. Before him, the only men she’d been with had taken advantage of her.
“Okay,” she said, then began taking deep breaths.
Her nipples were hard as shit, and I needed to taste them. I kept my eyes on hers as I passed my tongue over her nipple. When she lifted her legs and wrapped them around me, I slid my hand to her ass. To know she had my shirt on without a bra had me ready to dive into her now. “Chelsea, damn, baby. Please tell me you want this as much as I do.”
“I do. I want you, Jungle.”
I crashed my lips into hers again as the heat between her legs encompassed me. The sensitivity I was feeling didn’t even feel weird. As long as I was with Chelsea, I felt free to feel whatever I was feeling. I grinded my dick against her middle for a moment then pulled my lips away from hers to stare into her eyes.
