“I was too afraid to take a chance on love. To allow my heart to guide me down the right path because all that has ever done is left me heartbroken and alone. But it wasn’t the cards; it was me. I wanted so desperately to be loved by someone that I wasn’t listening to what they had to say.”
“How was this time different?” he asks, planting gentle kisses up my neck before pulling my ear between his teeth and biting down softly.
“Stop that.” I moan as he releases my ear. “I can’t focus when you do that.”
“Sorry.” He chuckles.
“Now, where was I?”
“You weren’t listening to the cards.”
“Right. So, I stopped listening to what the cards wanted to tell me. After everything that happened with Ian, I wanted to focus on Love and her well-being. I was tired of my bad decisions affecting her. I decided to swear off relationships, but then you came along and made me throw all my plans out the window.”
I pull back slightly, resting my chin on his chest and staring into his eyes. “You’re practically perfect. Everything I could ever want in a partner, but we’ve only known each other for a little over a month. I wondered if I could really jump into a relationship with you so soon. I was worried that I was making a mistake, so this morning, I went into my room and asked the cards if you were using me as a replacement for Lydia.”
“Audrey, I would never—” he begins, but I interrupt him, slamming my eyes tightly closed so I don’t see the pain in his eyes at my confession.
“I know you wouldn’t, but I had to ask. To be sure that, this time, I wasn’t making a mistake. But when I asked my question, I got the Devil card, which is basically the worst card possible when it comes to relationship readings. The minute I saw the card, my heart shattered into a million pieces. I wanted to be with you, to love you the way that I know you love me, but I was too afraid to take that leap without some confirmation from the cards. So, I pushed you away and tried to convince you that we couldn’t be together.”
“You’re rambling.” He chuckles, pulling me tightly to his chest and burying his nose into my neck.
“I know, but I do that when I’m nervous,” I respond quickly, tightening my grip around his waist. “But I was wrong. The Devil card was inverted, which completely changed the answer to my question. You’re not trying to replace me with Lydia. In fact, you are ready to move on with me by your side.”
“That I am.”
This is the moment of truth. No matter what the cards say, Connor is a human being with his own thoughts and feelings. He could decide that I’m not worth the hassle, that he’d rather quit before he got too involved, and he has every right to do so, but I’ll never know unless I ask. I take a deep breath, slamming my eyestightly shut and bracing for his response before I open my mouth and speak. “But I need to know if I’m too late or if there is a chance, even a small one, of us being together.”
“I love you, Audrey Wilde. You aren’t a replacement for Lydia. My feelings for you are more than I ever could’ve imagined them being in such a short amount of time.”
“I know.” I wrap my legs around his waist. “I love you, Connor.”
He growls as he slams my back against the door. I grind my pussy into his cock, and it hardens. “Say it again,” he whispers as he nibbles down the side of my neck.
“I love you.” I moan as he presses his cock harder into my warm center, pinning me to the door. Connor looks into my eyes, searching for something. “I’m yours for as long as you’ll have me.”
“Forever,” Connor grunts before his lips crash into mine again. I wrap my arms tighter around his neck, pulling myself into his chest, unable to get any closer. He slides his hand between our bodies, shoving my pants down and sliding his fingers between my folds. My gasp of surprise quickly turns into moans of pleasure as he pumps his fingers in and out of my pussy.
My hips rise off the door in time with his movements. I unwrap my arms from around his neck and reach for the button of his jeans. “I need you.”
He pulls his fingers from my pussy and shovesthem into his mouth, licking them clean before placing my feet on the floor. “Turn around,” he commands, helping me turn to face the door and shoving my pants down around my ankles. He rubs his hand along my ass cheeks, giving them a hard smack before shoving his pants down to his ankles.
“I love you, Audrey,” he whispers into my ear before sheathing himself inside me. I rest my forearms on the door as Connor grips my hips tightly, pulling my ass back in time with each thrust.
“Oh, yes. Right there, don’t stop,” I beg as he continues to pound my pussy into submission.
He leans forward, resting his chest on my back before releasing one of my hips. Reaching between my legs, he grasps my clit between two fingers. “Come with me,” he whispers into my ear before squeezing my clit. We both come loudly, shouting each other’s name into the empty space.
We both hiss as Connor pulls out of me and bends down, pulling my pants and panties back over my hips. “I’m never letting you go.”
He plants a kiss on each of my eyelids, the tip of my nose, and my cheeks.
“Good, because I have no intention of letting you go either.” I snicker before he lifts me off the ground, molding his lips to mine. This kiss is everything, all our pain and love wrapped together in one.
We stand there for a few minutes, content with just being in each other’s embrace, when his phone chimesloudly in his pocket. He pulls it out and reads the screen. “That was Vance. He’s bringing both girls here.” My cheeks instantly pink, having completely forgotten about them.
“I asked Bristol to have him and Selina keep them company for a while.”
“After I left Nurture Space, I asked him to pick up Jade from class and bring her home. I didn’t expect you to come back.”
