“I’m starting to think you might be the story of my life.”

“But you’d never marry me, no matter what, right?”

“No, I wouldn’t, but if we decide to be together, I’d have your back in every other way.”

“I’m not sure how I feel about that.This is already seeming kinda…”

“Serious?”

She nodded.“I should probably get out while I still can.”

He hugged her closer.“I’m not letting you go.”

“When I got married, I really believed it would be forever.He was the one I wanted to spend my life with.I was devastated by the way it turned out, but that wouldn’t stop me from taking that chance again with the right person.”

“Do you still trust your judgment after what happened with Gabriel?”

“That’s a good question, and I can understand why you might ask that since I was so wrong about him and jumped right into this with you when my life was in turmoil.”

“I haven’t had either of those thoughts about you, if that matters.Gabriel’s illness changed him profoundly, and when you met me, things with him had been over for quite some time, or so you said.”

“Both those things are true, and I don’t know if it counts as trusting my judgment, but everything in me wanted to trust you from the second I first met you.I felt like I could exhale because you were there, and everything was going to be all right as long as I trusted you.I’ve never experienced such certainty toward a stranger before.”

“I haven’t either, and it’s got me questioning a lot of things I thought I knew to be true about myself.”

“Like what?”

“Well, to start with, hearing you say you should get out while you still can has me wanting to promise you whatever it takes to keep you here with me, because I’m honestly not sure I’d survive if you walked away and never looked back.”

“I didn’t say I’d never look back.”

He caressed her cheek.“Everything has changed in the span of one week.Before this, before you, I would’ve said that would never happen to me.”

“And now that it has?”

“You’ve got me reconsidering my lines in the sand.”

She leaned over to kiss his chest.“I should probably make sure you know what you’d be getting if you cross all these lines of yours.”

“Um, getting?”

“You know, the full package.”She looked up at him, smiling as she moved so she was on top of him, positioning his cock between her breasts.“No pun intended.”

Julian gasped.“What is happening?”

“It’s your turn to close your eyes, quiet your busy mind, relax and let me love you.”

“Wait, but…”

She slid down to take his cock into her mouth, and the words died on his lips as she applied tongue and suction at the same time.

“Isla…”

“Hmmm?”She made sure her lips vibrated against the head as she said that.

He moaned.“Sweetheart, wait…”

“I don’t want to wait.”
