The climax finally broke over her, tearing a scream from her throat. She shuddered in his grip, the release so acute and paralyzing it robbed her of all thought.
Settling her back down on the mattress, Gavin stood looking at her, his chest heaving. Ebony couldn’t help but look at the swell of his cock straining against his sweatpants.
Still reeling from her climax, she lay there, her robe and legs open showing him everything.
Gavin visibly swallowed, as he dragged his gaze up to meet hers. “You can’t keep denying this, my little coward. I need you to choose. Tomorrow, I have to know. Will I spend my life at your side, or walk away to save what’s left of me? Because I’m done pretending.”
Chapter thirty
She lay there dazed, her body still humming with the aftershocks of what had just happened. Naked and still spread against the bed, she closed her eyes at the memory. The way his biceps flexed as he lifted her to his feasting mouth. His deep groans of satisfaction. Or his eyes. Ebony turned over into the covers and screamed. Dear God, his eyes. Those electric blue eyes just staring up at her as his tongue tortured her so.
The silence in the room felt heavy. Gavin’s words circled in her head, a loop she couldn’t break:little coward…make a choice.
Her hand fumbled for her phone, her fingers clumsy until she found it somewhere in the covers. She pressed Jade’s number, desperate for her best friend’s voice. She would be the only person who could understand.
The call went straight to voicemail. Her heart dropped.
Frustration burned the back of her eyes. For a moment she stared at the blank screen, thumb hovering, pulse thrashing in her throat. If Jade wasn’t there, then she needed someone else.
She tapped Beryl’s name and started typing.
Me: Do you think I'm being stupid.
Beryl: …
Beryl:Well, you can't be talking about literally since you and that knucklehead were both in the running for Valedictorian. So that means you must be talkingabout…Gavin?
She held her breath before replying.
Me:Yes.
Beryl's text came in rapid fire, one after the other.
Beryl:Oh my god, is this actually happening? Are you…hold on one fucking second.
Within seconds a group chat was formed between her, Beryl, and Taylor.
Taylor:Ebony!! Holy shit, what's happening?
She could almost imagine his voice out of breath as he typed.
Me:@Beryl I should not have texted you.
Taylor:No wait please. Just talk to us.
Beryl:Yes, just say what you were going to say. Please.
Ebony bit her lip; she wasn’t sure if she had ever heard Beryl say please. Hesitantly she typeda reply.
Me:I…I know I shouldn’t but I think I'm in love with Gavin.
And he loved her too, she added deep in her heart.
Taylor:Oh thank God! I've waited for you to say that for years.
Me:What?! Years?
Beryl:That's not the point. The point is that you finally realized how you feel and I'm just guessing Gavin has told you how he feels, right?
