Belle: When were you thinking?
It was a relief that she didn't blow me off because I deserved that.
Maverick: I'm outside your door.
There weren't any more texts, but a few seconds later, the door creaked open."Maverick?"
I threw a thumb over my shoulder."I was out with my brothers."
She raised a brow, and that's when I realized that texts and phone calls weren't enough.I'd hurt her.
"I'm sorry I've been distant.I've been busy with work, and I kept thinking we had to schedule a date, and the idea of creating a string of perfect dates freaked me out."
She frowned."Why does it have to be perfect?"
I rocked back on my heels."Our first date was great, and I'm not sure I'll be able to repeat it."
She pushed the door open wider so I could step inside.The door slammed shut behind us.We faced each other in the small space.
"It doesn't have to be perfect,” Belle said."I just like spending time with you."
"Are you sure?I keep thinking I'm bound to fuck this up."
She slowly shook her head."I like you.I want to spend time with you.Even if it's just watching TV."
I smiled."I had some other ideas about how we could spend our time."
Her lips quirked."Oh, yeah?"
"If you don't mind me stopping by after work when I smell like dirt and who knows what else."
She wrapped her arms around my neck."I have a feeling we're just going to get dirty again."
I lifted her, holding her in my arms as she wrapped her legs around my waist."I like the way you think."
This time she was wearing silky shorts and a tiny top with spaghetti straps.I slid my fingers underneath the material as I carried her up the stairs and into her apartment.I kicked the door closed and pressed her against it.
"I've missed you."I said as I kissed her along her jaw.
Her fingers tangled in my hair."I missed you too."
"I couldn't wait to get you alone again.There just never seemed to be enough time.And I was exhausted at the end of the night."
"I want you however I can get you," she said softly.
And my heart squeezed."I want you all the time."
She sighed, and I slipped a hand under the material of her shorts, and under her panties.She was already wet, opening for me.I slid two fingers inside, and her head fell back on a moan.
"You're so beautiful."
Her cheeks were flush.
I pumped my fingers inside her, and when her strap fell off her shoulder, her breasts fell out.Then I sucked her nipple.
"Mav—I need you."
I let her slide to the floor where we made quick work of removing our clothes.When we were naked, I lifted her again and thrust one time, then stilled.
