“Oh, yeah, don’t get me wrong. I’m glad.” She grins all over again as she leans back comfortably on the couch. “I’m grateful for your being brought back to me, although I could have done without all the drama, you know?”

Yeah, I can see that in her. I can see that this whole thing has damaged her a little bit. This perhaps has a whole lot to do with whatever her father was saying about her mother, but until I know what that is, I can’t be sure. I’m not going to push her into telling me until she’s ready. I’m prepared to wait for the rest of her life to know everything.

“I’m sure you can get your life back to a place with no drama soon enough.” I laugh. “Fingers crossed.”

“And what about you?” She cocks her head to one side curiously. “I guess this is your life all the time, isn’t it? You are permanently in the middle of some drama or another if this is your job. I don’t know how you do it.”

My shoulders sag forward as I see her spotting that barrier between us once more. “I don’t know if that’s going to be my life forever. I really don’t know if I’ll be able to go back to that job. All of this has been a lot, you know?”

“Have I actually put you off your job?” she gasps in shock. “I’m sorry, I never meant for that to happen.”

There’s no need to tell her that I did it to myself because I refused to listen to Max about keeping away. I know that she’s already upset about the fight between me and the criminals and it doesn’t make her feel any better that I wasn’t badly hurt, so we’ll skip over that. I don’t want her to have any more guilt than she has already given herself.

“I don’t know if it’s what I want to do anymore, anyway.” I offer her a one-shouldered shrug. “I don’t know what will happen.”

She gives me a slightly curious look, and to be honest, I have to lean back and let her just stare at me because I’m not too sure what the future is going to hold for me anymore. I’ve always had a lot of plans for myself, ever since I moved in with my cousin at eighteen years of age. I felt like I needed that structure and planned to keep on moving forward, which probably comes from the uncertainty of my parents, but now I’m going to have to be freer with everything. I’ll have to let loose and just go with the flow.

“Yeah, I guess we’re both in that place. I don’t know what I’ll do, either. I don’t know what work I can do after this, but I’m pretty sure that I won’t be going back to being a journalist. I don’t think I can do that again.”

I feel like she needs a hug right now, so I move closer to her and wrap my arms around her in a hug. She leans into me, gainingsome comfort from me, which is nice. I like being able to be strong for her in every single way.

“You know, I’ve always kept this bracelet on me because I love you, right?” she suddenly blurts out in a very shocking way. I know that we have more than likely always felt that way about one another, but to hear it has me stunned to the core. I love the sound of those words. They are utterly beautiful coming from her mouth. “I have always loved you, and I always will.”

I lean down and press my lips to hers, my heart exploding as I do so. “I love you too. I’m sure you know that. I’ve always kept you in my heart and I knew there was a reason for that. And thankfully, I was right. You came back to me.”

The next kiss is a lot more flooded with passion, a lot more filled with desire. Her tongue snakes between my lips and her fingers grip onto my hips to keep me in place. Not that I’m going anywhere. My God, we’ve finally expressed our feelings for one another at long last, which means there’s no holding back any longer. Nothing will get in our way. Not now.

Heather spins me around on the couch until I’m lying on my back and she’s straddling me. Her hands rapidly slide down my body until she’s at the waistband of my trousers, close to where I’m rock-hard and throbbing for her. I can’t help but flip my hips off the couch to silently communicate with her how much I want her to touch me. Not that there’s much silence going on here. The groans and grunts of desire flooding out of me almost match the gasps of delight that she’s making too. The sounds are mixing together, heating my body up and turning me on to almost an uncontrollable level.

Eventually, after what feels like a lifetime because I can’t deal with the teasing any longer, she dips her fingers delicately intomy trousers and my boxers too. She wraps her velvety fingers around me, gripping me, making my heart soar with joy. She strokes me, gently at first, restricted by the material surrounding her hand, but it doesn’t matter. The touch is sending my head spinning, pushing me over the edge already. I seriously don’t want to lose my shit already, but Heather is so sexy, so good at feeling me, that I don’t know whether I’ll be able to keep hold of myself for much longer.

“Oh, Heather,” I breathe as her lips move off mine and down to my throat. “Fuck, that feels so… so…”

All of a sudden, she strips the air from my lungs completely by snapping up and yanking the material off me in one swift movement. My eyes lock on hers as she slowly moves herself downward, and the dark, hooded desire in her eyes is electrifying. I actually start to shudder with pleasure purely because she looks so good. She’s the one for me, for sure. I’m glad now that she chose me, even if that is selfish. I couldn’t go the rest of my life without having this incredible connection.

“I want you naked,” she moans in a voice so filled with lust it hardly sounds like her anymore. “I want to see all of you.”

As she hurriedly strips my trousers and underwear off, I push up just enough to get my top gone too. As much as I want to see her nude body too because I love looking at every inch of her, I want her to see me too. I need her to.

“You are like a god,” she growls as her mouth edges a little bit closer to me. “You are so gorgeous.”

I want to reply to her, to tell her that I can’t even imagine being with someone as stunning as her, but she doesn’t intend to give me the chance to speak. Before I can even let out another breath,the wet heat of her mouth surrounds me, shutting my brain off completely. I become a total slave to the sensations she has storming through my body, and they are insane.

Her tongue… oh, my God, her hot, rough tongue surrounding me, licking me all over, it’s too much. I’m trying to keep myself under control, but she’s making it very challenging for me. Every time she grazes it over me, particularly my tip, I make a sound that I’ve never heard come out of my mouth before. I feel like she’s turning me into an animal and I love it.

“Heather, oh, fuck, Heather.” Her fingers brush over the hypersensitive skin of my balls, only adding to the feeling. The hot bliss burns through my veins, shoots through my system, and lightning bolts down to my cock. I’m going to lose my mind any minute now, and there isn’t a damn thing that I can do about it. Not unless I stop this now. “Heather, wait.”

I lean forward and scoop my arms around her, whipping her upright in an instant. Luckily, she’s going with the flow too and she wraps her thighs tightly around me while I carry her across the room. With each giant stride, her soaking wet slit brushes over my cock, beckoning me inside, and I know I’ll cave in a moment. I can’t help it.

We begin kissing once more as I press her up against the wall so I can get some good friction between us. Then I finally angle my cock, which is twitching with anticipation, to exactly where it’s desperate to be. She wants this. Heather needs this as badly as I do. I can hear it in her moans of pleasure, which makes it even more intense when finally, temptation gets the better of us both and I slam myself deep inside her. Each thrust, every time I bury myself deep within her, is more intense than the last. I’m losing myself in Heather’s body and I can feel her doing the same with me. We’re leading one another to the peak of the mountain and Ihope we fall together. We’re in love now, connected on a brand-new level, and I really want to experience that.

“I love you,” I cry out as the pressure of pleasure begins to mount within me. “I’ll tell you every day, Heather. I love you.”

I think I hear her tell me that she loves me too, but my heart pounds too loudly for me to get every word. It’s happening now, I’m at the top and about to explode, so all I can hear is myself, but I can feel it. I know that’s how she feels and that’s enough for me.
