“Do you like that?”
I rumbled deep in my chest, yes I did.
“Yeah, you do. But shh… we have to keep it down or people will think I have a panther in here.” I nuzzled her again, under her chin and licked her collarbone. She chuckled.
“That’s rough… like a cat’s tongue.”
I stayed like that for a while as she relaxed beside me. I purred loud, as she laid her head against my chest and listened.
She pulled up and told me it was comforting. But I wanted to kiss her again.
I shifted back.
“I don’t know what was better… having a big cat in my bed, or a hot naked guy.” She tapped her finger on her chin pretending to think, I growled.
“Naked guy.” I whispered as I pulled her finger away and held her chin between my thumb and forefinger.
“I missed you so much, Clare.” She closed her eyes and whispered, “I missed you, too.”
I moved in and took her lips. She kissed me tenderly, then bit my lower lip. I pulled back, running my tongue over it and gave her a wicked grin. This was a different Clare. I liked both versions of her, but this one was more confident and a little wilder.
I’m obsessed with her kisses, I never want them to stop. Even to breathe, I would die kissing her, getting lost in her. My hand roamed her body, finding the buttons to her sundress. I pop the top one off as her hands roam my chest, my abs and finding my cock hard and throbbing.
“God, I want you so bad. This wasn’t how I was expecting the day to end. But if you want to stop, we will. We don’t have to go further.” I kissed her chin, her throat and I toyed with the second button on her dress. Waiting to see whether she wanted to take this further.
I kissed her again and this time she let out a moan as she arched into my body, wrapping her hand around my cock and squeezing. She let go and moved back a little. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t a little disappointed, but I was just glad to be able to kiss her, to be with her like this was enough for now. It was more than I thought I would ever get again.
“I want this… with you. I want it all, Frankie. But I need you to understand something before we go any further, you might not like it.” I nodded, sitting back a little and reaching for her hand. I held it, she was trembling, and I could now sense her emotions were all over the place. Worry was the strongest and I didn’t like that.
“Anything you say isn’t going to change how I feel, sweetheart.”
She let out a deep breath and looked at me.
“Jett and Mekhi. I haven’t spoken to them since… well since that day.” I couldn’t stop my panther from growling low.
“Sorry, my panther didn’t like that day. Ignore him.”
She shook her head.
“It's okay, I don’t think anyone liked that day.”
Chapter33
Clare
Iwanted this so bad with Frankie, I wanted to move past everything that had happened and share this moment here with him. But I knew I had to tell him about Jett and Mekhi.
My feelings for them were muddled with the memories, but I knew I had to speak to them. I needed to work out how to move forward with everything that had happened and what we used to have. I didn’t know if I wanted to have something more with them or if I wanted to see them to say goodbye. But Frankie needed to know.
“I’ve been getting my memories back, not all but enough to fill the gaps of the past two years.” I sucked in a deep breath. “I loved them, with every single bone in my body I knew I loved them. The memories brought back a lot of feelings and a lot of things have been… unresolved.”
Frankie held my hand, never letting go. He nodded.
“Do you want something with them again?” He asked.
I shrugged. “I don’t know. I don’t think I will until I see them again. And that’s why I’m telling you. Only because I worry that if I do… I’ll lose you. I don’t think I can choose. I don’t want to.”
Frankie was quiet for a while, and I worried that I had upset him and he would leave. I knew this was a lot, I didn’t know if I would want something with Mekhi and Jett but I needed to leave that on the table as there was a possibility I would. But that would mean moving back home… and Frankie was here. He wouldn’t leave his mom or brother; I knew that, so where did that leave us?
