I blink at her a few times before all of my restraint breaks, I grab her face between my palms and slam my mouth down on hers. Her hands grab my forearms, looking for purchase as I devour her mouth. I fuck my tongue in and out, tangling with hers, taking as much of her as I can get. My hands roam down to her sides, grabbing her around the waist and lifting her into the seat of the truck before breaking the kiss. I look at her now, lips swollen and pink, face flushed with arousal, and her breathing ragged.
Fuck. I need to get her home.
Now.
“I may have been okay taking your virginity in the back of this truck at seventeen, but that’s not how this is going to go the second time around.”
I push her legs in before slamming the truck door closed and jogging around to get into the driver’s seat. I take one look at her again before cursing under my breath and starting up the engine.
“Seatbelt, baby,” I say as I peel out of my parking spot.
I get us home in record time, breaking about a hundred traffic laws in the process. I jump out of my truck before rounding the hood to get Ivy’s door and haul her out.
Once she’s on her feet, I crowd her space, caging her in between me and the open door again. I run my palm over her cheek before combing my fingers through her hair where I keep a grip on the back of her head.
“Fuck. You are so goddamn beautiful.”
A blush blooms on her cheeks and I can’t help the smile it brings me. I lift her, wrapping her legs around my waist as I shut the truck door and walk us up the stairs and into the house. Her fingers thread into my hair as she pulls my neck back to take my lips with hers. She kisses me like she means it, like she can’t get enough of me, and fuck if my heart isn’t pounding out of my chest.
I finally feel whole again.
It’s cliché as fuck, but this woman completes me. She’s the other half to my whole and I’ll be damned if she fucking leaves me again. I’m going to make it hard as fuck this time so there’s not a lingering question in that pretty little head of hers how I feel.
I kick the door shut behind us before spinning her and pushing her back up against it, dropping her feet to the ground. Her little fingers run through the coarse stubble of my beard and shemoans into my mouth. I grab her wrists and hold them above her head.
Releasing her lips to look at her, my heartbeat in my ears, her gorgeous face leaves me breathless.
“Fuck, Ivy.”
I rest my forehead against hers, taking a moment to slow down so I don’t blow my load before I even get inside her. Our eyes connect as we hold each other close.
Fuck, I hope this is it. I’m giving her my all.
Please don’t break me, Ivy.
Chapter 28
IVY
With his forehead pressed to mine and lips hovering so close that our breath mingles, he releases my wrists and roams his hands over the waist of my sweatshirt, up my arms, shoulders, and neck until he’s cupping my face in his hands. His hooded eyes bore into me, holding so much intense passion and desire.
“Fuck. I’ve been waiting for this. For you. You wreck me, Ivy. I was ruined for anyone else from the moment you came into my life. It’s always been you. Only you.”
His words speak straight to my heart, healing it completely.
I drag my hand slowly down his firm chest, soaking up the feeling of him under my palm. My hand continues south until I find his hard erection under his jeans and rub gently. His breathy moans give me life, and the courage to explore him further.
“Always knew you’d find your way back to me, baby. I never stopped believing it. Tell me you feel it too. Tell me it’s still there for you,” he whispers as he trails soft kisses along my jaw. Reaching under my thighs, he hoists me up to lock my legs around his waist, pressing his mouth against mine in the process.
“I feel it. It’s still there. Don’t stop.”
Running my hands through his gorgeous, tousled hair, I reciprocate his kiss. Our mouths coming together in a desperate race to connect, our tongues tangling, moans slipping past both of our lips. Only Sawyer has kissed me like this. I could kiss this man forever and it still wouldn’t be long enough.
He carries me effortlessly through the house before reaching his bedroom, kicking open the door, he slowly lets my body slide down his. Careful to ensure I’m steady on my feet, he separates our kiss and takes a few steps back.
“Fuck, I missed you so much.” His voice is desperate, his normal control slipping and leaving behind a primal hunger. His eyes devour my body, carnal lust etched into his features.
I grab his face between my hands, forcing him to look down and meet my eyes.
