Sadie is standing in the pouring rain on my walkway.
I don’t think, I just move. She starts to say something but I don’t let her. My mouth is on hers before she can speak, and I’m pouring every ounce of love and remorse into this kiss. I pull back and drop to my knees in front of her.
It’s fucking pouring, the rain so loud I’m nearly screaming out my apology to her.
“Kulta. I am so fucking sorry. I should’ve never told you to go. You belong here. With me. With Sophia. I’ll build you your own yoga retreat here. I’ll follow you to Denver. I’ll do whatever it takes. I will spend every day of the rest of my life proving to you just how much I love you. Because I do, Sadie. I love you so fucking much. Please, forgive me.”
I bow my head and grovel at her feet, repeating, “I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m so sorry,” over and over and over again. I’ll stay like this for as long as it takes.
Sadie drops to her knees in front of me and grabs my face with her hands. I rest my hands over hers, afraid she’ll remove them at any moment.
“Ask me to stay, Niko.”
A choked sob escapes my mouth and my tears mix with the rain streaming down my face.
“Will you stay, Sadie?”
And then her lips are on mine.
I go to stand and pick Sadie up in the process. She wraps her legs around me and brings her lips back to mine. I turn with her in my arms, rain pelting us like bricks as I walk as fast as I can back to the house.
The door is still open and as soon as we’re inside, I kick it closed behind me. Not wanting to let her go, I push Sadie up against the wall in the entryway.
She whimpers into my mouth. I pull back and search her eyes.
“Are you okay? Is this okay?”
Her hands grip the back of my head and she pulls my mouth back to hers. We kiss with no end in sight.
I grind myself into her and the movement causes my soaking wet clothing to pull at my skin. Sadie pulls back and looks at me. “We need to get out of these clothes.”
She gently nudges my shoulders so I set her down on the floor. Her shirt is over her head in an instant. Sadie reaches over to lift mine next but I grab her hand to stop her.
“Sadie, we don’t have to do this. There’s a lot I want to say.Needto say.”
Her opposite hand covers mine and she peers up into my eyes. “I know, me too. But I thought first, maybe we could let our bodies do the talking.”
If she wants me to show her just how much I love her, then that’s exactly what I’m going to do.
My hands move to my shirt and I lift it over my head. Sadie is already pushing my shorts and boxer briefs down, laughing as they get stuck because of how drenched they are.
I look down at her and step out of my shorts once they are near my ankles. She tosses them across the room and looks up at me. The smile she wears brings me back to life. Tenminutes ago, I thought I lost—no, thought I pushed—my favorite person out of my life.
She’s still on her knees and she looks at my hard shaft before looking back up at me. I reach down and pull her up to stand.
“As beautiful as you are with my cock in your mouth, I have other plans to show you just how much I love you.”
Sadie’s eyes blink a few times, tears forming at the corners. “Say it again.”
“I love you,Kulta.”
Niko’s eyes don’t leave mine as he lowers me to the ground and removes my yoga pants. This would be a lot sexier if they weren’t soaking wet and almost impossible to take off.
I lean a hand on the wall behind me and lift my leg so he can remove one leg at a time. We’re both laughing by the time he finally gets them off. Which is probably five minutes later.
His hand cups my jaw, his thumb brushing the side of my cheek. “Thank you.”
I’m taken aback by the comment. “For what?”
