Page 11 of Everything I Promise

“Uh oh, that sounds ominous.” I put my phone back into my pocket, ready for whatever we are about to walk into.

She laughs, leading the way back out into the hallway.

She pushes the door open and I walk past her to look into the bathroom. “Well, it‘s big. We could put a walk-in tiled shower, or a tiled tub." I motion to the existing tub, "That whole thing is going to have to come out.”

I turn around to face Lacey and she happens to be right there, close enough that my body knocks her small frame off balance. Ireach out to grab her and stop her from falling. When I grab her by the waist it feels like sparks are flying from her body to mine. Big mistake, touching her again.

Lacey looks up at me, biting that bottom lip again. Then she leans up on her tiptoes and into me.

“Lace. Don’t start something you don’t want.” I warn. “I won’t be able to stop myself.”

Breathlessly she whispers, “What if I don’t want you to stop what I want to start?”

That is all I need. I grab her ass and haul her up to me. Kissing her is something I haven’t been able to stop thinking about since that first quick kiss when we almost got caught in The Bar the night I met her.

I dive into her mouth, darting my tongue in and out. She tastes like strawberries. Lacey bites my top lip and moans into my mouth. I place her on the counter and my hands start to roam her body.

God, she has a great body. She can feel my erection through my jeans and starts grinding into me. I wish like hell we weren’t in this dungy apartment.

Lacey’s small hands dip down to unbutton my pants and spring me free.

“Oh my god” she gasps as she places her small hand around me. I can only growl out a strangled sound at the feel of her fingers around my cock. I put Lacey on the floor so she’s leaning back onto the counter and pull her leggings down to her ankles in one swift motion.

“Sweetheart, I’m not going to let you go unsatisfied, but I’m also not going to let much happen in this bathroom.” With that my mouth goes to her slit. I lick her up and down and suck her clit in my mouth. She bucks her hips into me, I add my fingers into her while licking and sucking at her.

“Oh my. . .” she moans while wrapping my hair in her fingers, pulling me closer to her. That only spurs me on. I am going to show this beautiful woman everything she deserves in a man. Even if it means the biggest case of blue balls I’ll ever experience in my life.

She starts pulsing around my fingers and I press my tongue lightly on her clit, relishing every last pulse she has for me. When she is done I slowly glide her leggings back up her legs, then straighten up and take her mouth with mine. Knowing that we are both tasting what I had done to her, has me harder than I was before. I have never been this desperate to touch a woman. I hoist her back up into my arms and she sets about kissing my neck.

“Lacey, I would love to continue this, but you deserve more than here.” I breathe out, willing my razor thin self restraint to stay.

God, this woman, she actually pouts back at me. Bottom lip out and all. It's almost enough to break me.

“What if I don’t care?” She reaches down, taking my cock in her hand again.

She is killing my restraint.

“I care, Lace. After everything you’ve been through you deserve so much more. And if you’re willing to give me the chance, I promise I will show you what you deserve, in every way.” I push the hair out of her face that has fallen so I can see those green eyes.

If I’m going to break the promise I made to myself to stay away, and let her be, then I’m at least going to make sure she knows how worshiped she should be by a man.

“Okay.” She rests her forehead on my chest. “Show me.”

“I will, Sweetheart, trust me. But for now let’s go back downstairs so I won’t be tempted to break that promise.” I set Lacey back down and feel her absence in my arms more thanI ever had Elizabeth. I hated it right away. She laces her hands through my hair and pulls me back down to her mouth for another kiss. A kiss that ends too quickly.

“I just needed one more.” She smiles and skips, yes, actually skips, to the stairs. She opens the door and disappears down the stairs.

“That woman is going to test every thread of patience I have,” I whisper to no one. Running my hands through my hair, I set off to find Lacey after I regain some self control and put myself back together. I’m not ashamed to admit I will be replaying this afternoon in the shower later. Alone.

It really sucks that we both are living with other people, more specifically people we don’t want meddling in our relationship, or friendship. No doubt my brother is almost home, and it would just be weird to ask if we could go back to her Mom’s house.

Chapter Five

Lacey

I have no idea what just came over me. I have never been so brazen in all my life. But Colton’s mouth, good God. I don’t think I’ve ever felt anything so amazing in all the years I was with Michael. Colton’s mouth on mine made everything feel right in my life. That was dangerous.

I was hoping to just enjoy some fun with that man built like a Greek God, especially since by some miracle he seems to want the same with me. But he seems like maybe he wants more with all those promises he’s just made to me.
