Page 19 of Hate You Forever

I wrap my arms around her as I thrust into her, our mouths never leaving the others. I move inside her with rapid thrusts, pushing her closer to the edge. Her muscles begin to tighten around me, and her breathing becomes labored. Little whimpers fall from her lips, making me work harder to push her over. The moment she explodes around me, her nails dig into my back, and her head falls backward, exposing her throat to me. As my hips keep moving, my lipsfind that sensitive spot on her neck, and I bite down gently, making her moans louder.

Seeing the reaction she has to my body pushes me over the edge with her, and I explode my inside of her with a deep moan. My hips start to slow as I ride out every last wave.

Once we’ve both calmed down, I remove myself for her and tuck my dick back into my jeans before bending down and gathering her clothes. As she dresses, I sit on the couch with my elbows on my knees. I run one hand over my head as my eyes lock back on hers.

“Do you have an answer now?”

She bites her bottom lip. “Want to stay the night at my place?” She pulls her jeans back up her hips.

I smile and nod. “Let me lock up.”

I wakein the morning with a smile on my face. Her warm body is pressed against mine, and her heat is sinking into me. My arms are around her, keeping her close as I breathe in her sweet scent. Everything is perfect and exactly how it’s supposed to be. I was supposed to be right here all this time. Finally, everything is right.

Her dog jumps up onto the bed, and she stirs in my arms. He licks her face and she giggles.

“Okay, Noodle. I’m up.” She sits on the edge of the bed and looks back at me. “What time is it?”

I look at my watch. “It’s going on ten.”

Her eyes stretch wide. “Wow, no wonder Noodle is waking me up. He goes out at seven every morning.” She stands and stretches before pulling on some clothes. “Come on, Noodle,” she says, leaving the room to take the dog out.

While she’s out, I stand up and pull on my clothes before heading to the bathroom. When I come out, she’s on the couch with her computer on her lap. When she notices me walking into the room, she closes it and sets it on the table.

“Internet boyfriend?” I ask, taking the open seat next to her.

“I thought if we’re really going to do this, that I needed to call things off with him, but he hasn’t been online in over a week.”

“Maybe to him, there’s nothing to end.”

She nods. “Maybe, but just in case, I broke up with him anyway. If he ever bothers to log back on, that is.” She looks at me and forces a smile. “It’s Saturday. What are your plans? Do you work today?”

I rest my elbows on my knees. “Usually, I would, but today is the homecoming parade, and they’veasked me to be on a float. I need to go home and see if I can find my old jersey.”

“Oh, hold on,” she says, getting up and rushing back to her room. A few minutes later, she back with my jersey in hand. She tosses it over, and I hold it up, looking at it.

“You still have this?”

She smiles and her cheeks turn pink. “I didn’t have the heart to get rid of it. I mean, I know it’s your jersey, but to me, it was a lot more. It held a lot of memories, you know?”

I nod my head and smile. “I’ll make sure you get it back after the parade.” I lean forward and give her a quick kiss.

“Really?”

“You’ve been the one taking care of it for all these years. It’s been yours longer than it was mine.”

“Can I ask you a question?”

“Anything.”

“Why didn’t you go to college and play? I know you got a scholarship. At the time, I thought you turned it down to stay with me, but that clearly wasn’t the case.”

I shrug. “I don’t know. I mean, football wasn’t it for me. I liked to play, but I played for fun, not because I loved it, not like most guys do. I didn’t want to justbe known for one thing. I wanted to go out and find what I was passionate about.”

“And did you find it?”

I level my eyes on her. “Not for a long time. I kept looking and kept wondering why I wasn’t finding it. Then I realized that I had it all along. It wasn’t a game or a career. It was you.”

“That’s the cheesiest line I’ve ever heard.” She laughs.
