Page 105 of Surviving Lies

Keep going ’till I reach that summit.

I was climbing; the top was in view.

My body shook, the tremors starting deep within me.

“That’s it, baby,” he murmured, his tongue never stopping its assault. “I can feel it, babe. Come for me, Bec. Come all over me.”

His words ... Oh my God, his words.

They had me running to the summit and jumping off the edge.

My orgasm ripped through my body. I tried to push him off of me, the feeling too intense. But he forced my hands away as his mouth continued its brutal torment of sucking and licking my tortured clit. My body shook and quivered so much, Ty had to use a hand to hold me up, his other still pumping in and out of me.

One last jolt, and I landed at the bottom. My body settled and relaxed.

Ty’s hand slowed inside me and started a slow retreat. His fingers caressed every inch of me as he removed them. His mouth released from me and his thumb took over rubbing my clit, making sure my orgasm had reached its peak.

“I can’t, Ty. No more,” I said, the spot now too sensitive. I slowly lowered my leg from his shoulder, straightening my body.

“Just making sure, babe.” He looked up at me with a smile. But then the smile disappeared.

He pushed his forehead against me and froze suddenly, holding me by the hips.

“Becca,” he murmured against my skin, the vibration making the butterflies take flight inside me. “I thought this day might never happen again. I will not take another moment with you for granted.” His eyes turned up toward mine as my fingers gripped his hair, holding him against me. “Every day will be a gift, and each day we have together, I will spend earning back your trust, your love, your heart.”

The tiny droplets of water that clung to his eyelashes from the shower accentuated the tears forming in those whiskey eyes. I wiped away as much as I could.

Looking down at him, I knew we were where we were supposed to be. There may have been a long and twisty road to get here, but nothing worth keeping in this lifetime was easy to achieve. We still had many obstacles to clear together, but I knew now that we could do that together.

As long as I allowed myself to trust him.

To trust in us.

“You never lost my heart, Ty. It was always yours. And you’re already mending the cracks it got.” I fell to my knees with him, and our mouths collided. But I pulled back. “My love for you is endless,” I breathed against his mouth. “It was there, hiding under the cover of our illusion. We ...” I hesitated while looking at him, the love for me evident in his eyes. His hand reached out, cradling my face, and my cheek fell into his palm, relishing its warmth. “We will be OK. We will come back from this. These lies, they will not destroy us.”

Chapter 31

Ty

Those were words that I never thought I would hear her say, ever. And here she was, saying them. Saying she loved me. That we were going to be OK. That we were OK.

I held no illusions. I knew there were still road bumps ahead for us. I think she knew that, too. But I was so appreciative that she was willing to give this a go.

“Can we get these wet clothes off you now?” she said.

We both stood up in the shower stall, the hot water still hitting us. I turned it off while she grabbed a towel for herself. First, I pulled the shirt over my head and tossed it on the shower floor. Next, the shoes and socks joined the shirt. Then I began peeling off my soaking-wet jeans, which was not an easy feat.

“Need some help there, big guy?” she said, laughing. I still hadn’t gotten them down over my thighs.

“Yeah, I actually do,” I said, laughing as well.

She came behind me and tried pulling them off with me.

“Shit, what the fuck?” she said. “Why is this so hard to do?”

The puddle that was forming was immense and only made the conditions around us even slipperier.

“I have an idea, Ty. You’ll have to lie on the floor and I’ll pull them off. I think that’s the only way. They won’t come over these massive, sexy thighs of yours,” she said as she came up and began stroking me in places that were not my thighs. “At least your dick is already out of them, because it’s growing, and that would make it harder yet to get these off of you,” she whispered in my ear.
