Page 108 of Making Home with You
“Finn,” she repeats, locking her legs around my hips.
I slowly start to move, rocking against her as we continue to kiss, our bodies moving together now.Everything about this moment feels perfect and right and something I never want to let go of.
“Sarah,” I murmur, letting go of one of her hands as I now move mine between us, finding her clit and gently starting to rub.
She groans beneath me, her head pushing back into the pillow as her body arches into mine.I lower my mouth to her breast, suck on her nipple as I continue to rub her clit and slide slowly in and out of her.
“Oh god,” she moans.“God, I’m gonna come.”
I gently bite down on her breast, my fingers pushing harder on her clit as I feel her clench around me, her body wound tight as she clings to me, her fingers digging into my back.I push deeper inside of her, pushing both of us closer until finally she cries out and we both come together.
Afterward, I collapse on top of her, my face buried against her neck, my breathing coming hard and fast.
“So, if I move in with you,” she eventually says, still breathless, “does that mean we get do that every morning and every night then?”I hear her ask.
I chuckle.“Most definitely, babe,” I reply.“Most definitely.”
Later that day, we check out of the inn and head over to the station.Neither of us is working but that doesn’t get us out of having to give our statements to Detective Greenwood.As shitty as it is though, I know both of us just want all of this to be over and done with.
And while we still have Sarah’s job and all of its drama to finalize, at least this will soon be one less thing to worry about.
When I walk into the station, even though I feel everyone turn and look at us, I still feel surprisingly calm and relaxed, knowing there’s no chance of Carla fucking things up anymore.
It feels like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders, not just because of the fear that she could do something to Sarah, but also the damage she could have done to my career.The thought that she could have so easily ruined everything I have worked so hard for.
And it’s only now that everything is finally over that it hits me just how serious all of this was.Still is really, given Carla’s mental state when she was finally taken in last night.
And despite everything, I do feel extremely bad for her, maybe even a little bit guilty about it all too.Although I can’t pretend to understand what she’s going through, I can still feel sympathetic to it all, can accept that however unintentional, I did have a part to play in it too.
I can’t imagine what it must be like to live with it all the stuff she is going through.To think that something we did as teenagers could have such far reaching ramifications.Or such long-lasting effects.
All I can do now is hope that Carla gets the help she needs.And that one day she can forgive me for all of this.
Detective Greenwood greets us both, a smile on his face now and a distinctly relaxed air about him.He explains how we will need to be interviewed separately and while I wait for Sarah to be done, I head into my office to get a few things squared away.
“Sir?”
I glance up and see Sam standing in my doorway.“Yeah, Sam, what can I do for you?”
He glances at the floor, a nervous look about him as he hovers in my doorway.“I ah,” he starts.“I ah, I just wanted to say that I’m glad this has all worked out.”
I smile, even though he isn’t looking at me.“Thanks,” I tell him.“And I appreciate everything you did,” I add, knowing it can’t have been easy for him to handle this, given I’m his boss.“I know it can’t have been easy for you.”
He shakes his head, finally looking up at me.“I never believed all the things she said,” he explains.“I hope you know that.”
I nod.“It’s okay, Sam,” I tell him.“I know you had a job to do and I respect that.I’m glad you were able to do it, given the circumstances.”
“Everything’s going to be alright, isn’t it?”he asks.
I nod as I catch sight of Sarah coming out of the interview room behind him.“Yeah, everything’s going to be fine.”
After she’s done, I head back to the interview room while Sarah waits in my office.This time around, speaking with Detective Greenwood, I’m much more at ease, knowing that now at least, he finally believes me.
He tells me that Carla has been taken for a psych assessment, but given everything they witnessed, not to mention the statement from Sarah and now me, it’s a sure bet that she’s going to end up being sent to a facility rather than jail.
It’s what I want for her too, never having wished for her to be ruined by all of this, even though it’s hard to believe that hasn’t already happened.
“So the investigation into me, the ah, the allegations she made.All of that will be dropped?”I ask as we finish up the interview.
