“I thought I’d never see you again.” Tears continued to flow down her cheeks despite my plea. “I thought, I had…”
I laid my finger against her trembling lips to keep her from talking. “Shh. It’s all right, Jade. I’m here now.”
The plan had been for her to never see me again. It didn’t seem like the right time to tell her the truth. She’d been through enough today having to deal with that asshole. I didn’t want to be the reason she cried more.
“But for how long?” she asked, her fingers moving through my hair, and I sighed at the contact of her fingertips against my scalp. “I haven’t seen you in years, William.”
“I know it’s been a while, but I’m here for however long you will have me, Angel.”
Her eyes softened further, if possible. Her lips parted, and when she leaned forward, her lips touching mine, I couldn’t stand in the way of what I needed anymore. For years, I’d denied myself. Today, I’d finally surrender to everything I felt for her.
Want.
Lust.
Love.
This was the woman I’d yearned for since the day I laid eyes on her. This was the woman I’d love until the day I died. If possible, I’d vow to devote the rest of my life with her in front of her family and God. I couldn’t change my feelings for her. I’d tried for a long time to no avail. Today, I was tired of trying to hide it and tired of rejecting it.
No longer denying myself of her taste, my mouth covered hers hungrily. My tongue explored the depths of her mouth, and a hint of something sweet coated her tongue. After a few moments of indulging, I pulled away and laid my forehead against hers.
“Do you know how long I’ve dreamed of this moment?” My lips brushed against her as I spoke. “How long I’ve dreamed of you being in my arms?”
It wasn’t a question I wanted her to answer. I only needed her to know I’d wanted this longer than she realized. Yes, the situation between her and Allen had made me take a step with her because I wouldn’t have made it if it hadn’t happened. In this moment, I was glad I’d pushed myself to do it.
My lips left hers. I nibbled at her earlobe then seared a path down her neck, sucking the flesh between my teeth before moving to her shoulders. She moaned, throwing her head back, giving me better access to her bare skin. I twisted our bodies, her back colliding with the living room wall. With her dress bunched up around her hips, the warmth of her center grazed against my growing erection as she moved. I groaned.
“Please.” She moved her hips against me. “I need you.”
“You need me, huh?” I growled, grinding my cock against her center.
Braced against the wall and maintaining my grip on her body with one hand, I used the other and maneuvered between our bodies, unsnapping my jeans, then pulling my hardening length out. I stroked my cock from crown to base, smearing the precum beaded at the tip down my entire length while imagining myself deep inside her warmth. I struggled to believe this was happening. I wouldn’t change a damn thing about it.
So, what does that say about me?
I’m a fucking bastard.
Me pinning her to the wall and getting ready to fill her with my cum proved I was nothing more than what I’d thought—a fucking bastard. To hell with the promise to Aaron. To hell with the promises I’d made to myself. I wanted her. I needed this.
I pulled back, looking into her hooded eyes. There was no going back if we took this step. Jade was it for me, and I’d known it for a long time. If she couldn’t give me until the day I died, we’d stop this now. No matter how much I wanted her to drain my cock dry. No matter how much I loved her, I’d shut this shit down and leave town without her and savor this memory until eternity.
“You don’t know what you’re asking of me, Angel.” With her smell, the way she gazed into my eyes, and her body pressed against mine, my control slipped further. Filled with reckless desire, I wanted nothing more than to be inside her. To feel her velvety walls choking my cock right now would be nothing but pure bliss. I ached to be inside her.
My grip tightened on my aching cock. “There’s no going back from this, Jade. You don’t know my heart.”
“I do know what I’m asking, William.” Her tongue flicked my lips, then she bit down hard. I hissed, squeezing her ass tighter in warning. She smirked. “I’ve seen your heart, and it mirrors mine.”
Hopes and fears always inundated my mind when it came to Jade. It was hard to escape them even now as I stared at her for a moment, trying to sort out if she was saying what I’d hoped she would say to me all these years. An irresistible, devastating smile crossed her features, and I had my answer. She owned my heart, always, and now I had hers. Whether I deserved it was another beast I didn’t want to tackle right now, but she loved me like I loved her.
There were no more words needed from either of us. The guilt of what we were about to do would come later. At this moment, I wouldn’t let it interfere with what I wanted to share with her. My love.
I ripped her thin cotton panties.
She gasped then laughed when I tossed them over my shoulder. “Someone’s in a rush,” she teased, licking her lips.
Imagining her plump lips wrapped around my cock had me almost coming too soon. I ran my fingers through her slick folds, grazing her clit, and her laugh shifted to a deep moan. Pleasure blanketed her features. Her body shivered, and she pulled her plump lip between her teeth.
“You have no idea,” I grunted, my impatience swelling to explosive proportions.
