I look down at him, face flushed, eyes all hazy and pupils blown, lips swollen from kissing me. I kiss him with all that I am. I feel like I could die here, like this.
Buried in the man I love.
The person I know was meant to be mine.
I collapse against him, his grip on me loosening as I slide out of him, as exhaustion takes hold, and I roll over on the bed, my eyes falling shut.
The pillows welcome me, and Zeb pulls me close, burying his face in my neck and hair.
“I love you, too, Geo.”
CHAPTER 24
Zeb
My head is poundingand my body feels more than a little sore.
I open my eyes, slivers of dawn creeping in through my window. My body is warm like a fire. I grip Geo’s waist, pulling him closer. The moment he brushes against me, backing his bare ass against me, I freeze.
Panic floods me as I slide one hand between my legs, feeling the evidence dried on the inside of my thighs.
Oh, no.
No, no, no, this wasn’t supposed to happen like this...
Geo turns in my arms, rubbing his eyes.
“Fuck, my head is killing me,” he groans, as I fight to steady my breath. He squints, looking at me with those warm, amber eyes, and I feel like an even bigger asshole.
“Geo, I’m sorry. I?—”
“What are you apologizing for now?” he groans. “I thought we did the apologizing thing already.” He slides his arm over my hip, pulling me closer.
“We—” I struggle with what to say because I can barely process what’s happened.
We fucked.
Geo is no longer a virgin, because ofme.
Shit.
Shit, shit, shit.
I can’t take something like that back.
Ever.
This isnothow I wanted this to happen.
“Last night…” I try to wrack my brain for words, but I can’t find the right ones.
“Last night was amazing,” he says, burrowing closer to me. His hand squeezes my back.
I freeze again.
“We were drunk,” I say, as I wrap my arms around him, hoping to hold onto this moment a little longer before he really leaves.
“Yeah, and?” He groans as he threads his leg through mine.
