Page 45 of Hold Me Closer
I growl hers, lifting her up and down my cock.
She works with me, rocking her hips, taking me deep. We kiss and touch, loving each other to the brink again and again. Until my fucking legs burn and my chest aches. Until she's sobbing my name, writhing against the door in ecstasy, her pussy fluttering all up and down my cock.
For one perfect moment, we tremble on the edge together, our eyes locked, words of devotion spilling between us.
And then we shatter, falling to pieces in each other's arms. My fucking legs give out. I land on my ass on the floor with her draped across me, both of us panting for breath, both trembling.
"Hold me closer, Teo," she whispers, pressing her face against my throat. "Never let me go."
"Never," I vow, wrapping her up in my arms so tightly I'm not sure where I end, and she begins. "Fucking never."
This is my future now. And this time? This time, I'm fighting for forever.
Chapter Eleven
Nadia
By the time Teoflies out for the game, the fact that he stayed the night at my place is all over the news. I know because my phone won't stop ringing. Zoya is the first to call, squealing in my ear. She's over-the-moon thrilled for us. Innessais equally as excited, peppering me with questions and pouting about the fact that she wasn't able to come visit with Zoya. My mom and dad are more reserved but no less excited for us.
"I should come,zaika," Dad says, worry in his tone. "Your face is everywhere. You have need of big, scary men in your life to keep these photographers away."
"Daddy," I say, laughing quietly. He is a big, scary man, more than capable of scaring photographers away. But we both know he's only looking for a reason to come check up on me. "I'm fine. Teo already took care of it."
"He did?" Mom asks as I stare out the window, taking deep breaths to keep myself calm and focused.
I'm heading to Olive's office in the back of the car she sent for me. Even now, cars aren't easy for me. I don't drive. I don't know if I ever will again. But Olive called me in for an emergency meeting, and there's no getting around this city without getting into a vehicle.
I already know what—or who—we'll be discussing today. Like Dad said, my face is everywhere right now.
"He did," I tell my mom. "He has security outside my house now, keeping the paparazzi at bay."
"He is smart boy," my dad grunts, clearly pleased by the news. "I will call him. We will make more plans to keep you safe,zaika. It will be well."
"Dad," I groan quietly. "Please be nice when you talk to him."
"Nice? I am always nice to Mateo. He is good boy, Nadia."
I shake my head, smiling to myself. He is so full of it. I hear the false innocence in his tone. He's going to harass the hell out of him as soon as he gets him on the phone, just like he did when we were kids. I know it. He knows it. Judging by the smile on my Uber driver's face, even he knows it. And he's only hearing half of the conversation!
"I'll make sure he behaves, sweet girl," Mom promises.
"I am very well-behaved," Dad grumbles.
"Of course you are,He-Man."
"We're pulling up," I murmur as they bicker back and forth about the fact that my dad is absolutely notvery well-behaved. He doesn't even know the definition. "I've got to go."
"Okay, sweetheart. We love you," Mom says, her voice softening. "And we're happy for you. Enjoy this, okay? And try to let the past be the past. That's what both of you deserve now."
"Yes," Dad agrees. "You have cried enough,zaika. Both of you. Be happy now."
"Okay," I whisper, tears stinging my eyes as a fierce wave of gratitude washes through me. I love them both so damn much. No matter what I do, they're just there for me. No matter how badly I've messed up, they've never judged me for it. They just show up. They love me.
And they love Teo, too.
Aunt Miranda and Jason, Teo's parents, are the same way. Our parents have been best friends for decades, doing everything together. And no matter what happened between me and Teo, they never treated either of us any differently.
"Hey, Mom? Dad?"
