Page 93 of There’s A Thin Line Between Love and Hate

She looked down at my clothed frame, silently asking me to take off my clothes, and I obliged since it was what she wanted. In that moment I would give her anything her little heart desired.

When I was fully undressed she crawled over to me, resting between my legs and placed her hand over my heart once again, kissing me ever so softly. I didn’t know what to do with my hands, I didn’t know what was okay and what wasn’t, but she must have sensed my resolve because she pushed me back to lie down with her hand that was over my heart. I kept my eyes closed the entire time, terrified that if I opened them this wouldn’t actually be happening and I truly was dreaming.

We stayed like that for I don’t know how long, I could feel her thoughts raging a war in her mind, but then I felt her straddle my waist, breaking our kiss to rest her forehead on mine.

“Please open your eyes. Please look at me,” she murmured so low I could barely hear her.

I instantly did, and what I saw nearly broke my fucking heart. Her eyes were filled with unshed tears and that was my undoing, I couldn’t take it anymore. I gripped the sides of her face.

“Suga’, look at me. We do not have to do this,” I breathed out against her lips.

“I need you. I need you to make this better. I need you to make it all go away. I need you to erase him from my body,” she rasped, her voice breaking. “Feel me. Touch me.” A single tear escaped her eye.

“Where?” I coaxed.

She pressed her hand onto my heart like she did the night she gave me her virginity.

“Here.”

I kissed her lips, her cheeks, the tip of her nose, all over her face as I slowly moved my hand from the side of her face down to her neck.

“Tell me if you need me to stop,” I urged and she nodded, claiming my lips with hers, our eyes still wide open.

I caressed along her smooth skin, trailing my fingers over her naked body. Her hand immediately clenched against my heart when I reached her pubic bone. Her expression told me to keep going, so I did. Gently, I pressed the palm of my hand alongside her folds, staying above her panties. Her body locked up instantaneously.

“I love you, darlin’, I love you so fucking much,” I soothed in between kissing her. “My life didn’t begin until the day I met you, Aubrey. Do you remember that strong, take-no-bullshit girl?” I coaxed, looking deep into her eyes with an intense stare.

She nodded, resting her forehead on mine as I slowly moved my hand back and forth, caressing her the way I used to. How I knew she loved. Wanting to bring back the affectionate time between us.

“Do you know what I first noticed about you?”

She sucked in air, my tender touch getting to her.

“The way you love, darlin’, protecting the people you care about. I knew right away that I wanted you to love me like that.”

She hazily smiled, her tense hand against my heart relaxing as I glided my hand on her clit a little faster, a little harder, her wetness seeping through on my fingers.

My heart surged.

“I knew that smile, that laugh, those eyes were going to be the end of me. I wouldn’t ever be able to get enough.” I pecked her lips and her mouth parted, my persistent rubbing visibly satisfying her.

“You’re all I ever wanted but never knew I needed,” I breathed out as she breathed in. It was like we were breathing for one another.

“God, Aubrey, you have no idea how much I’ve missed you. How much I love you.”

My words were getting to her, too.

Her back subtly arched.

“I’m yours,” I whispered in her ear as I took it in my mouth.

She was coming undone.

“Ah,” she exhaled into my mouth, her body trembling, causing me to smile.

“There’s my girl,” I groaned, sliding her panties to the side. I positioned myself at her opening and she followed my lead, easing down my shaft.

“You can go as slow as you need, I’m not going anywhere,” I reminded, loving the feel of her wrapped around me, trying like hell not to get lost in the sensation of her.
