I’d wait forever.

Well…
Fuck.
I hadn’t intended to fuck her.
I told myself I wouldn’t.
Then, we were strolling along. I had her hand in mine. The entire world felt peaceful and perfect and just…right. Like we should have been doing this all along. Even though I knew we couldn’t.
That we shouldn’t be doing any of it at all.
But I was a sucker.
And I was lost to her.
I’d missed the fuck out of her when she was in London. I’d told her to go. I’d told her to live her life there, and I assumed she had. I was sure that she’d met some London boy. I was jealous of every moment.
A feeling that I knew was wrong to feel.
When I’d found out she was returning to Seattle and not Lubbock, I’d decided, without a second thought, that I had to see her. Sure, I was visiting Curt. I hadn’t seen him in ages. His wife and kids were incredible, but I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t for her.
Now, my cock was inside of her, and she was panting breathlessly under my body, and I couldn’t regret it.
Wouldn’t regret it.
But I didn’t know what the fuck I was going to do now.
“Harley…”
She pushed her lips against mine again, breathing the words, “Let’s just enjoy it.”
So, I gave up.
I would enjoy it. For as long as I could.
I withdrew from her body. We both righted our clothing. Neither of us able to contain the smiles on our faces. I wanted nothing more than to take her to my hotel and spend the rest of the weekend buried between her legs.
Unfortunately, I’d made plans with Curt because I was sure I could resist her. I’d been wrong. So very wrong.
So I had to drive her home.
“You could come to dinner,” I blurted out once we were in the car.
Her eyes widened. “With your friend?”
“Yeah. His wife is coming.”
“Oh shit, I was going to have movie night with Mom.” She bit her bottom lip and then said slowly, “I could cancel?”
“Don’t cancel on your mom,” I said automatically.
“I didn’t think we’d…that this was…” She trailed off.
