Page 48 of Falling for Him
“I want a life with you too.”
Relief washes over me, hearing her finally say the words I’ve been waiting for. A sign that she’s no longer holding back.
CHAPTER FORTY-ONE
Lexi
I doeverything I can to fight the tears. I bite my lip, squeeze Bennett tighter yet, they still come.
Something inside of me cracked. That wall I’ve built, the wall that was supposed to keep me from ever allowing myself to feel something crumbled.
Losing Bennett, I know it will break me.
Tilting my head back I look up at him. The very second he sees my face I notice the shift in his expression. Instantly one of concern, the frown line of his forehead becomes more distinct.
“Hey.” He cups my face. “Why the tears?”
“I didn’t want to be in this situation. I told myself I never would be again.”
“What situation?”
“The one where I am so in love with you, that I’ve made myself completely vulnerable. But here I am, giving everything over, saying love me too.”
“I do love you,” he says, kissing me softly. “I loved you then too Lexi, I just wasn’t ready for you.”
“And now?”
“I’m ready for it all. No fear,” he says, holding my stare. “I meant what I said, I am here, for you and for Camryn. The only fear I have is losing you.”
When his lips cover mine once again I reach up gripping the back of his neck and hold him close. A kiss that starts out slowly quickly grows into something more.
When my back is pressed up against the wall behind me, I reach between us and start to unbuckle his jeans.
One piece at a time our clothes are shed and tossed to the floor.
When he grips my thighs, I’m lifted and I immediately wrap my legs around him.
With one thrust he is buried deep and I gasp at the fullness.
“Fuck,” Bennett moans, biting my shoulder as I toss my head back, shifting my hips. There in the middle of his unfinished house, with spotlights shining all around us we lose ourselves in each other, nothing but the sounds of our moans echoing off the walls of the empty space.
“You are incredible,” he mumbles and he continues to move, kissing along the side of my neck, before finding my mouth once more. “So good,” he adds as his thrusts increase.
I can already feel myself building, my body reacting to the perfect rhythm as he continues to hit the spot deep within me. My legs tighten around his waist, I know he too can feel the shift in my body.
I start to tremble and he kisses me, dragging his tongue along my lips, tugging on my lower lip with his teeth.
I open my mouth to say something but it hits me in that instant and the only thing that falls from my lips is his name.
“Bennett,” I moan, my legs shaking and shivers rack through me.
He doesn’t slow as he continues to drive forward and I can see it in his eyes, he is close too.
“Oh fuck.” He thrusts forward, a few quick jerks of his hips and his forehead crashes against my shoulder as a shiver rolls through him.
A few incoherent words are spoken as he holds me against the wall.
When he finally lifts his head he kisses me and begins to lower me to the floor. “Lexi,” he looks down, “we forgot a condom.”
