Page 99 of Breathing Without You

“I’ll be alright, things are just kinda coming back to me as I process last night. I was stupid and I’m sorry.” I sniffle. “I should have been more careful, less reckless.”

“You don’t have to apologize, Emerald, we understand.” Winter is the first one to say something before Carsten and Creedence both agree with her.

“Seriously, we all do stupid shit, Sugar, please don’t be sorry baby.” Creedence grabs my hand, squeezing it.

“You guys, I was reckless, careless, irresponsible, the list goes on. I almost fucking died.” I don’t understand why they’re not upset with me. Not that I want them to be upset with me, but shouldn’t they be?

“Emerald, Sugar. I’m relieved that I didn’t fucking lose you too, babe. We’re all fucking relieved we didn’t lose you. No one’s upset with you. We’re just thankful you’re okay.” He gently kisses my forehead.

“Bitch, I’d be pissed if I lost my best friend, but I’m not mad at you. Fuck, I’m just so happy you’re okay that’s all we care about.” Winter sniffles a little and my heart breaks knowing I’ve caused the people I love a pain like this.

“Seriously, Em, we’re just glad you’re okay, no one’s mad.” Carsten rubs my shoulder, sounding choked up himself.

“Here, you sit down, I’ll get you some food. You need to eat, Sugar.” Creedence walks me back over to the bed where I sit down at the edge and I slowly sit down, my body sore for some reason.

“They boxed everything up in different containers, so you guys had a decent amount of food. It was Winter’s idea. Don’t worry Stacy didn’t help.” Carsten laughs as he walks over pulling the containers out of the bag.

“Thank god.” I roll my eyes. “I haven’t missed her at all.” Not since the bullshit she pulled when she said everything to upset me in front of everyone, I still can’t believe she went that low to make herself feel better.

“You haven’t missed anything, between me being there and everything Winter has told me these past few weeks, she’s just the same old bitchy, jealous Stacy.”

“I figured nothing has changed with that bitch.” I laugh as I grab plates from the cabinet, my head starting to feel a little better from the medicine Creed gave me.

Creed gathers a lot of food on a plate for me and my mouth practically waters. It feels like it’s been days since I’ve eaten. Well, it might actually be, I paid more attention to drinking than I did eating. Then he grabs himself a plate and sits next to me on the bed.

While we eat, we talk about what happened with Daisy, the cops came by earlier and I told them I wasn’t interested in pressing charges. When I see her, I’ll have a mouthful to say. I’m sure she deserves more but I’m not an asshole like her. Plus, I just want to move on with my life and forget this shit ever happened.

CREEDENCE

It’s beentwo weeks since Emerald and I have gotten back together, and we’ve made up for the time apart in more ways than one. It’s also been two weeks since Emerald’s been out of the hospital and she’s doing better than ever. We’re doing better than ever.

I lay here in my bed, excited for today as I have a surprise for Emerald that she has no idea is even coming.

She lays next to me, her back towards me, part of her body still covered up except for one of my favorite parts, her ass and her legs stick out. I place my hand on her bare, smooth skin, rubbing it up and down slowly, taking in the feel of her and how happy she makes me.

I don’t ever want to forget the feel of her body next to mine, in fact I’m going to ask her to move in with me soon, whether it’s her house or mine. I don’t care where I’m at as long as I’m with her day and night. I want to wake up with her and fall asleep next to her every day for the rest of my life. Emerald is home to me, wherever she is that’s where I belong.

“That tickles.” She gives out a sleepy giggle.

“Sorry, Sugar, I can’t get enough of you. I was just feeling how soft your skin is and got lost in my thoughts, I wasn’t trying to tickle you.” I reach my arm around her and pull her in closer to me, her back now to my chest and my hard cock now resting against her ass.

“Mmm, someone’s excited,” she giggles, wiggling her ass against me. You can hear the smile in her voice.

“I’m always excited when I’m around you.” I take my rock-hard cock in my hand, rubbing myself against her ass. “I just can’t help myself. You’re just so fucking sexy.” I let out a low grumble that vibrates through my chest against her back, as I groan into the crook of her neck. I start kissing and sucking on the sensitive skin, listening to her sleepy moans.

“I need you, Creed,” she whispers as she turns over to face me, her lips instantly finding mine. I swipe my tongue against her lips asking for her to let me in and she opens immediately, her tongue finding mine, sliding and swirling against it. I moan out, god this woman drives me absolutely crazy.

“I’ll always need you, Sugar,” I tell her as I pull her on top of me, she giggles again as I grip onto her hips. “Mmm, already wet for me, my little slut?” I ask her with a smirk on my face. I can feel the wetness from her pussy pressed against my hard length and it’s taking everything in me not to just thrust up inside her.

“I don’t know, why don’t you check and see.” She slowly winks at me, biting her bottom lip.

“Ohh, do you want me to go down and see if you’re wet?” And she nods her head. “Tell me what you want, Sugar.” I hope she says what I want to hear, because I love when she tells me what she wants and isn’t shy.

“I want you to lick my pussy, Creedence.” She practically moans out the words.

“Mmm, I thought you’d never ask, I bet you still taste just as sweet as you did last night, my naughty little slut.” I smackher ass hard, she throws her head back, letting out a moan as I rub the spot I just smacked before slapping it again. “I love how much you love when I take control.” I growl at her because I do, it is so fucking sexy how much it turns her on when I take control. I love that she gets turned on by all the dirty things she lets me do to her, that we both equally enjoy.
