Madonna ended, and the beginning chords of an *NSYNC song blasted through the speakers.This I Promise You, the song wediddance to, started to play.
I crinkled my nose at Evan. “You have Madonna and *NSYNC on your phone. Since when did you become a teenaged girl?” I giggled, but Evan’s eyes still seared through me.
“Dance with me.” he whispered. His breath tickled the shell of my ear. I held on tight as my knees turned into jelly.
I closed my eyes and buried my head in his neck as he sang in my ear. Evan’s free hand stayed where it was but mine had a mind of its own. I let my hand drift up his back and then inch down until it rested on his ass. I gazed into his hooded eyes and smiled.
Evan pressed his lips against mine as we kept dancing.
“No one told you about personal dance space, I guess.”
“Nope,” I whispered before I darted my tongue across the seam of his lips. Evan grabbed the back of my neck and crashed his lips to mine. We stopped dancing and pulled at each other’s clothes. I dragged his shirt over his head and raked my nails down his back. Evan broke the kiss and clutched my face in his hands.
“You’re sure, Daisy? I don’t want to pressure you.”
“Godyes. I thought. . . maybe you didn’t want me anymore.”
Evan’s brow furrowed as he gazed at me. “You’re serious? How could you ever think that?”
I rubbed the back of his wrists and let out a long sigh.
“After all . . . you saw. And how I look now. I was afraid that you . . . didn’t feel the same way. That you didn’t see me the same way.”
Evan chuckled and shook his head. “What I see—is the most beautiful woman I’ve ever known. I see a gorgeous face, a smoking hot body, and a toughness that you’re clueless about. Which, I have to say—is sexy as hell.” I smiled as Evan tucked a piece of my hair behind my ear.
“And . . . maybe I don’t see you exactly the same. I knew I was in love with you, but didn’t know how empty my life was without you. And how much I need you to feel alive. But make no mistake.” He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me towards him. I gasped when I felt the hardness against my stomach. “Thatis how much I still want you. How much I’ll always want you. Never, ever doubt that.”
Evan’s lips went back to my neck as his hands grabbed the hem of my tank top and yanked it over my head. He pulled down my bra straps as he licked his way across my collarbone. I was a whimpering mess when his tongue glided over a rigid nipple, flicking it before he sucked it into his mouth. I grabbed the back of his head as he sucked harder.
“Evan please . . .” He unsnapped my bra and threw it on the couch as he trailed open mouthed kisses over my other nipple and down my stomach before settling on his knees. His darkened eyes gazed up at me as he unbuttoned my shorts. After I kicked them off, he grabbed my leg and hooked it over his shoulder.
“I’ve missed you so much. Missed this. . .” He drew his tongue along the inside of my thigh until his mouth landed on my wet and swollen clit. Evan grabbed my hips as my knees buckled.
“Evan please . . . I need you.” He stood and covered my mouth with his. Tasting myself on his lips made me kiss him even harder.
“You have me—anytime, anywhere. Always yours, Daisy.” He lifted me into his arms, our lips still moving as he carried me into our bedroom. Our last night together flashed through my mind, the night I thought I had to let him go and that we would never be here again. Evan kicked off his jeans and lay me on the bed. We both groaned as he slid inside me.
“Sit up, Evan.” His brow furrowed as he leaned back on the bed. I sat up on my knees as I sank myself down on him. He bit his lip as he leaned forward, burying his head in my chest and grabbing my hips.
“So beautiful.” His hand caressed my cheek as I sank down harder. Sweat dripped off my brow as I moved faster. “So good, Daisy. You feel so damn good.” He was much deeper this way, and everything inside started to quiver and throb as I came harder than ever before. All the buildup—the sadness, and the longing of the last couple of months—made every move that much more intense.
Evan flipped me over and plowed into me until he found his release. We were still breathless as he rolled to his back and pulled me on top of his chest.
“Now,thatwas insane makeup sex. Holyshit, Paige.”
I laughed into his neck.
“We’ve still got it, after all.”
I propped my head up on my elbow as a satisfied grin spread across my face.
“Of course we do. We get better all the time.” He kissed the top of my head as I cuddled into his side.
“Daisy?”
“Yeah, babe.” He wrapped both his arms around me.
“It’s so good to be home.”
