I shake my head. No, I won’t let that happen. I fucking need her. These past eight months have been proof of that.
She’s always on my mind, it doesn’t matter what I’m doing, I’m thinking of her, and if I don’t hear from her at least every hour, I get edgy, and panic hits.
She’s mine as I’m hers.
The door to the hall opens, and students mill out, making my heart rate pick up, and my breathing get heavier. My nerves are shot to shit.
Fuck, I never should have touched Lacey. Eight months with no sex, and I gave in out of fucking fear for my feelings for Skylar, and I still couldn’t fucking come until I thought of the black-haired beauty.
“Fuck, come on, precious,” I mutter as I gently rub my thumb along my bottom lip, and students begin to decrease coming out of the door before I suddenly push off the truck and stand straight seeing her walk out, my fingers itching to grab her.
Her hair is down, reaching just below her shoulders and wavy, her bag strap is over one shoulder, and her strapless black dress reaches just past her knees, and I swallow hard.
Fuck she’s beautiful, so fucking beautiful.
I tilt my head and furrow my brows though. She looks, I don’t know, upset?
What the fuck?
I walk forward without a second thought and meet her halfway. She doesn’t look up, so I quickly grab her arms so we don’t bash into each other, and she gasps before looking up and we lock eyes.
“Hey, precious,” I rasp, and she grins though her eyes look sad.
“Hey, stranger,” she whispers, and I raise a brow and ask, “Hard exam?”
She scrunches her nose up in an adorable kind of way before she groans and drops her chin to her chest, and I laugh,wrapping my arm around her shoulders and gently guiding her towards my truck, saying, “Come on, I’ll treat you to a milkshake.”
She nods and leans into me, sending electric volts through my side, and I tighten my hold over her shoulders.
Yeah, she’s definitely mine.
“Thanks for the milkshake,” Skylar says as I pull up next to her Ford two hours later, the campus dark.
I fucking hate that I can’t take her home. She’s never given me her address, always leaves her car here, and I can’t exactly say, ‘Hey, when can I meet your mama and have dinner at the trailer’ Now, can I?
I undo my seatbelt and turn my body towards her as she leans her head back on the headrest, looking at me, our eyes locking, and nothing but electricity flows between us.
“It was my pleasure, precious, and remember, you didn’t fail the exam,” I state firmly for the hundredth time since picking her up, and she grins wide.
My girl likes to get in her own head, and that is what has happened today.
She knew the work, and honestly, she was more worried about disappointing her mother. For months, she’s done nothing but praise the woman, and I had found it hard not to snap that she kept her away from her family.
I know Brick hates it, but Skylar’s mama is her whole world, and nothing comes before her, not even me. I rang her before I fucked Lacey to see if she wanted to hang but she had plans with her mama and I realized what she meant to me in that moment with how disappointed I felt.
My eyes race between my girls as her smile softens, her gorgeous dark blue eyes sparkling, and I know this is my moment, and I don’t take it for granted. I lean forward and pressmy lips against hers, making her gasp in shock and fuck me… soft, her lips are so fucking soft.
I gently move my lips against hers in a sweet kiss before I pull back, again our eyes connecting, hers now racing between mine.
I don’t move from my position, waiting for her, hoping and fucking praying she feels the same way. I mean, deep down, I know she does, but she’s also really fucking responsible and may want to put her schooling first, which as much as a dick it might make me sound, I won’t allow that to happen.
Skylar blinks before suddenly, her right-hand cups the back of my neck and pulls me forward. I willingly go, pressing my lips against hers again, this time our tongues touching instantly, and I groan as I tilt my head and deepen the kiss.
Fucking sparks fly between us.
Needing to feel her against me, needing our bodies molded, I grab her hips and lift her without breaking the kiss. If anything, it heats up as I help her straddle me before wrapping my arm around her waist as she wraps hers around my neck holding me close and I cup her face with my other to keep her lips on mine.
Fuck me, her body fits against mine perfectly.
