And I will always love you, Cassieeeeeeeeeee

“Stop it before you disturb my neighbors.

And I will always…

She rushed forward and clamped a hand over his mouth. “I said stop.”

One of Devin’s hand slipped around her waist, pulling her up close. She came up against the guitar. He removed the instrument from between them and set it on the hood of the vehicle. Cassie removed her hand from his mouth and pushed against him.

“At least you’re talking to me now.”

“Go home,” she snapped. “I only came out because you’re disturbing the neighbors.”

“Liar,” he said, his face coming close to hers. “You came out because you missed me.”

She pushed hard, stepping out of his embrace. “I don’t miss you,” she denied, even when her body and heart said differently.

Devin picked up the guitar again and started playing. “And I will…”

“Just shut up and be quiet!”

“…love you Cassieeeeeeee.”

Without thinking she grabbing his arm and started pulling him towards the house, he stopped playing the guitar but continued singing until he was inside the threshold and the door closed. He leaned the guitar against the wall near the door and instantly pulled Cassie into his arms, crushing their lips together.

Struggling to free herself she tried to push him away, but her lips parted and allowed in his tongue. Fire shot through her body, igniting the desire that she’d tried to squelch for the past few days. She melted against him, her knees weak and her body trembling with need. She did miss him and no matter how much she denied it with her lips, her heart said otherwise. Breathlessly, they ended the kiss.

“Cassie, I love you,” Devin whispered, still holding her close. “I can’t live without you.”

“I can’t do this Devin,” she whispered back. “I can’t trust you.”

“Do you love me?”

She hesitated to answer, fearing that this was all another one of his bets. Will he walk away rejoicing that he got her to forgive him? How much did he wager on her forgiveness? A few words of love, some off-key serenading and a kiss?

“Say it,” he urged. “I know you do. Why are you afraid to say you love me?”

“Is it so easy for you to say, Devin?”

“It’s easy when you are afraid to lose the one you can’t breathe without. Cassie that’s you. I have never told a girl I loved them. Hell, I never thought I’d ever be able to.”

He took her hand and led her to the sofa, pulling her down to sit on his lap. With her belly quivering, her knees already buckling she was apt to comply. Naturally, she leaned her head on his shoulder and he cuddled her, his arms holding her so close she felt his heartbeat.

“I missed you Devin,” she whispered, her heart beating faster as she awaited his reaction.

His arms tightened around her. “Do you forgive this idiot?”

She raised her head. “How dare you call the man I love an idiot?”

A wide grain spread across his face before he flipped her over, her back coming down on the sofa. He adjusted himself to lie atop her, then plastered kisses all over her face before devouring her mouth. His hard cock was pressing into her belly while his hand crept under her shirt. The touch of his fingers on her skin made her flesh quiver.

Not wanting to wait a second more, she reached between them and unbuckled him while his hand found her breast and gave it a gentle squeeze. After unbuckling his belt, Cassie urged him out of his pants. The minute it took for him to get out his clothes was like an eternity. She took the opportunity to rid herself of her t-shirt and panties.

Cassie writhed impatiently beneath him. Her body was scorched and her woman center calling for attention. But he wasn’t ready, he was taking his sweet time. Devin’s torture on her nipples sent shockwaves through her.

“Oh,” she gasped, when he reached between them and brushed the tip of her clitoris with his index finger. A bolt of current coursed through her, making her even wetter than she ever thought possible.

Now frustrated with Devin’s delay in giving her what she wanted, she reached down and took his cock, enclosing it in her palm. Devin sucked in a breath as she caressed its length. He tried to push her hand away but she refused to let it go.
