Page 5 of Only Ever Yours

I stand on my own, ignoring his outstretched hand. Because I know if I touch him, I will lose all my remaining senses. I’m pissed at myself because he makes me feel all the things I shouldn’t feel for him. I have a nice man in my life, and we have a great relationship so far. It’s only been a month, but it’s been going pretty well.

I step up beside him, heading in the direction of his truck. “I said stop calling me that,” I mumble.

He chuckles again. “Why? Is it messing with your head?”

“Whatever…” I huff.

I continue to follow him slowly, being extra careful as I step due to the uneven ground. However, when we near his truck, I lose my balance and go sideways, tripping into him.

Strong arms quickly wrap around me, securely holding me in place. With our bodies now flush together, I feel like I can’t breathe, my heart beating rapidly.

He notices the change in my breathing and takes that opportunity, bending so he can whisper in my ear.

“Wanna know why I thought about calling you 'Peachy' tonight, Ellie?”

The deepness of his low voice rumbles through my body, straight to my already throbbing pussy.

“No… but I know you’re gonna tell me anyway.”

The heat from his laughter sends shivers down my spine. His lips are so close to my neck… I’m melting into him, his muscular body surrounding me, putting my senses on high alert. My disloyal body surrenders, letting him take control of me.

“The second I saw you in this sexy-as-fuck dress, so tightly glued to your ass, I thought about calling you Peachy,” he says, his voice low and full of need. “The way this silky orange material highlights your perfect ass…” His fingers tighten on my hip, briefly—just enough to make me gasp. “It looks just like a juicy, ripe peach. I want to sink my teeth into it and taste your fucking sweet honey until you scream my name… and all your juices slide down my chin.”

Fuck.

A moan slips from my throat; his words ricochet deep throughout my body, and my pussy tightens in response. The smell of his cedarwood cologne and the warmth of his closeness consume me—I crave his strong touch.

I’m so fucking screwed.

I pull back just enough to look into his heavy-lidded eyes while my words flow out like a whisper.

“Take me home, Jaydon… back to yours.”

In our lust-filled haze, he only nods and helps me into the truck, his touch gentle but possessive. I don’t miss the deliberate slide of his hands as they graze over my ass when I climb in. Without a word, he leans in, reaching across my body to buckle me in, making sure I’m securely fastened. His eyes flick to mine as he tucks in my dress before gently shutting my door.

For being such an asshole, at least he’s still a gentleman.

We pull up to Jaydon’s new townhouse. It has a charming brick front and beautiful landscaping. I have been by one time before, in the daylight. I was with Haleigh, and Jaydon wasn’t home, but I didn’t go inside. Haleigh just had to drop a few things inside his garage. Our short drive to his house was in silence; he didn’t say a word. And I’ve been too worked up to think about anything else, my pulse still thrumming like crazy.

“Stay put. I’ll help you out. Don’t want anyone to fall outta my truck and get hurt.” He smirks.

Asshole.

Jaydon helps me out and into the entrance through the garage. The feel of his strong hands turns me on.Dammit, why did I drink so much?

We walk into the kitchen, and his place is unexpectedly very clean. A delightful fresh smell hits my nose. Even with the alcohol running through my veins, I can still appreciate a clean home.

“Your place is so… clean,” I say, leaning my hip against the island for support.

“I’m not a slob, Peachy,” He smirks. “You want something to drink? Water?”

“Yes… that would be great. Water's fine, thanks.”

He fills the glass halfway before handing it to me. “Thank you.”

He nods and heads towards the stairs. “Come on up when you're finished… first room on the right.”

I nod, gulping down the cold, refreshing liquid. After a few minutes, I pour the rest down the drain and set the glass on the counter near the sink.
