No man will ever compare.
Without asking, I just took.
I couldn’t wait any longer.
I was taking back what was mine.
Grabbing her face with both hands, I looked her in the eyes, and then I kissed her.
As soon asmy lips were on hers, it felt like I had come home after way too long.
I slid my tongue inside and she tasted exactly how I remembered. Sweet and soft, our mouths moving together as if they’d never been apart.
Groans escaped her throat as I deepened the kiss and moved my hands from her cheeks to the back of her neck and into her air. I tugged gently and her head fell back, breaking our kiss and exposing her neck to me. I immediately went in, tasting her skin, licking and sucking on the sensitive area.
Maggie groaned louder and my dick strained in my pants. I wanted to sink inside her. To fill her whole like I had before.
Countless times, in my car and hers, were snuck around without our parents finding out. We found different places to hide and have sex and sometimes hunting the place was just as fun as when we finally enjoyed one another.
But it didn’t matter now. We were adults.
Willing, consenting adults.
And it was time to christen every damn inch of her place.
Yet I couldn’t rush. Not with her.
She meant too damn much.
After one last nip of her neck, I backed away, both of us staring at the other as our chests heaved, our breaths short. A few seconds longer and I’d be carrying her upstairs without asking.
“Everything inside me wants to throw you over my shoulder and take you upstairs. But I want to make sure this is something you want. I don’t just want sex with you, Maggie. I want to spend the rest of my life with you.” I confessed, while still holding her gaze with mine.
Maggie’s arms slipped around my neck, and she climbed into my lap. “I still want you too, Garner. I was waiting until you came back for me.”
“How did you know I would?”
She shrugged. “I didn’t. I just hoped you would. I still wouldn’t want anyone else, even if you had moved on. You’re it for me. You always have been.”
My heart burst with happiness and a true genuine smile crossed my face. I loved this woman so fucking much. “You’re it for me too. My career shit the bed, and I took it as a sign. We’d been apart long enough. I dated no one else either.”
Maggie studied me closely. She tilted her head to the side as if she could really read my mind if she tried hard enough. “You didn’t?”
“No. I won’t lie. I tried. But it made me miss you more. I focused on other things. Like learning lines, auditioning, and stalking your Facebook. Though you didn’t give me much to stalk.”
Maggie laughed and her eyes sparkled. “Nothing exciting happened.”
“How about we change that? Remember our favorite Christmas together? Senior year of high school.”
She nodded. “How could I forget?”
“Let’s relive it.”
Her eyes lit up, like a little kid in line for a rollercoaster, and it was his turn next to ride. “Really?”
“Yes. Then we’ll come back here and finish.”
“Finish what?” Maggie asked innocently, though she knew damn well what I meant.
