Page 47 of No Faking a Second Chance

He’ssilently staring at me, mouth open wide in shock, soIchoose to keep going. “Ilove you, you big idiot!I’vebeen alone since our night together, and allIcould think about was wantingyouby my side.Thereare so many things—”Idon’t get the chance to finish whatI’msaying becauseBishopslams his lips to mine and steals every last train of thought.

Whenhe pulls away, he’s smiling down at me. “Ilove you,Georgia.”Thenhe lifts me up and carries me into his large house, heading right for his bedroom.Helays me on the bed with a shake of his head, a frown on his face. “I’msorry for hurting you, andIpromise to talk to you from now on.”

Inod, not trusting myself to speak right now.Notwhen his hands are sliding over my body.Hegrips the hem of my dress, then pushes it up over my waist, and groans at the sight of me.There’sa chanceWinnieconvinced me to not wear any bra or panties tonight, andI’mgoing to need to thank her for this once the night is over.Thewild look inBishop’seyes sets my entire body on fire in the most amazing way.

Heleans forward, pressing his mouth against the inside of my thighs, while slowly making his way toward my center.Isigh contently as he flattens his tongue against me, basking in the feel of it, and rocking my hips against him.Hishands come to the curve of my ass, pulling me into him, andIlet out a breathy moan.

Itdoesn’t take long for me to scream out his name, then he’s crawling up the bed with a smile on his face.Hebrings a hand to one of my cheeks, gliding his thumb over my bottom lip, and says, “Ilove you,” before bringing his lips to mine.

Thiskiss is nothing like the others.

It’sfull of love, happiness, and need.Ipart my mouth for him, giving him everythingIhave into this one kiss, while he roams a hand over my body.Thetrail has my skin tingling in response, my entire insides vibrating with an energy only he can elicit from me.I’mnot sure howIever thoughtCamdenwas the one for me, he was nothing like this.

* * *

I’vealways loved the silence that came with being alone, but there’s nothing like the silence as the man you love has his arm wrapped around you.He’sbreathing deeply, almost as if he’s asleep, but says, “I’llmake it up to you.”

Ilean up, looking into his eyes, and smile. “Ithink you already did.Aboutten minutes ago, and very thoroughly ifImight add.”

Hechuckles and runs his fingers through my hair. “Areyou sure this is what you want?”

“Whywouldn’tI?”

Bishopshrugs, his gaze moving to the ceiling. “I’molder than you, and your boss, andIdon’t want you to be uncomfortable.”

Ismile. “IfI’mbeing honest?Inever thought about the age difference.Andwhen it comes to the office, we can do what we’ve always done… keep things professional at work.”

Henods, hugging me closer to his chest and bringing his lips to the top of my head. “Thatsounds good to me.”

I’mconfused when he gets up from the bed and holds his hand out to me, which causes him to chuckle. “Iwant to hang out with the womanIlove for a little while.Comewatch a movie with me?”

There’ssomething hopeful about his expression that has me placing my palm into his and giving him a smile.

Ithrow one of his t-shirts on, much likeIdid the first timeIcame here, and follow him out into the living room.

Excepthe doesn’t go to the living room.Instead, he heads toward the back door and winks at me. “Ihave a better spot.”

WhenIfollow him out the door,I’msurprised to find a projector and screen sitting in the middle of the grass.

“Popcorn?”

“Whendid you do all this?”Iask.

Heshakes his head, pointing upward. “Ididn’t, this thing automatically comes down with the press of a button.It’salways been here, just haven’t found a reason to use it until now.”

“Yesto the popcorn.”ThenIglance around and eye the hot tub with a smile. “Couldwe watch from the hot tub for a little bit?”

Hesmiles. “Anythingyou want, baby.”Beforehe walks away to go get the popcorn, he leans down and presses a kiss to my lips. “Beright back.”

Assoon as he’s gone,Ilift the t-shirt over my head with a wicked grin asIthink about what he’ll think of me being in there naked.Itonly takes a few minutes before he walks out carrying the bowl of popcorn and a couple cans of soda.Henearly drops the popcorn when he catches sight of me, but manages to keep it n his arms.

“What’swrong?”Iask, feigning innocence.

Heshakes his head with a chuckle, butIstill catch the dark glint in his eyes as he sinks into the water with me.Iimmediately move through the hot water toward him, sinking into his embrace as he presses play on the movie.It’ssome kind of action movie, but the only thingIcan keep my mind on is the way he feels around me.

Inever thoughtI’dbe here with him, butI’mproud of myself for giving him the chance he deserves.He’salways seen me, even whenIdidn’t see him.Hislips graze my ear lightly before he presses a kiss to the curve of my neck, and the only thingIcan do is lean over to give him more access.

Themovie is playing, andI’mlooking right at it, butIcan’t tell you a damn thing that’s happening right now.AllIcan focus on is the way his lips feel against my wet skin, while he splays his hands across my stomach and pulls me further into him.Ihum in response, threading my fingers through his, and he smiles against me before pulling away.
