“I’m not,” she argued, showing the first hint of anger I’d seen in her since I’d come back to town.I hated that I’d made her mad, but I liked that she was showing me how she really felt.“I’m tellin’ you what’s been goin’ through my mind.You were right about my father.So, I’ve put some thought to what it might take for me to get over his absence in my life and let the anger and disappointment and…Ugh.”She sighed heavily, and her shoulders slumped forward.“Goddammit, what you said made me realize how utterly abandoned I’ve felt my whole life.”

“I didn’t mean to make you?—”

“You didn’tmakeme feel anything, Dixon.You simply asked a question, but now that you have, it’s got me lookin’ at things from a new angle.I’ve had to admit to myself that I’ve made a lot of choices in my life based on that feeling of abandonment.

“But some good came from it, too,” she said, “because now I know that I don’t like feelin’ that way.I don’t want to feel like I’m not worth loving, and if forgiving my deadbeat dad will cure me of that awful ache in my heart, then I want to do that.”

Slowly, she crossed her kitchen, and when she stood in front of me, I angled my chair to face her head on.

“New rule,” she said as she climbed over me and straddled my lap, resting her arms over my shoulders.“I won’t let you off the hook so easily when I think you’ve done somethin’ wrong, and you will try to accept that what I say is true, even if you don’t believe it.And especially if it’s somethin’ positive about you.Deal?”

I saw forgiveness shining in her eyes.When I walked in tonight, I wasn’t sure I’d find it.Apologizing for something I’d recently said or done was a new thing for me, but living one more minute with AJ pissed at me was unacceptable.And it hurt.

“Deal?”she said again.

“Deal.”I smirked.“You’re a little feisty when you’re mad.”

“You ain’t seen nothin’ yet.”

“You gonna show me more, little dragon?”Running my hands up her ribcage, I molded them over her breasts and then pushed her tank beneath them.They popped free because she hadn’t worn a bra while she cleaned, and my dick jumped to attention under my jeans.

“Dixon, I’m a dirty, sweaty Dumpster fire.I’m covered in grime and multi-purpose cleaner.”

Looking up at her, I asked, “Did you douse your tits with bleach?”

She swatted the back of my head and laughed.“No!”

“Good, then I want ’em in my mouth.”I proved it when I leaned forward and wrapped my lips around one.

AJ groaned and arched in my arms, but I held her up, and her hair brushed over my forearms behind her.She slid a hand up and pulled off her headband, then let it fall to the floor.

“Why do we always end up like this?With me straddlin’ you?”

Tightening my hands around her hips, I squeezed, feeling like I could eat her alive.

It was the reason we’d argued the other night, but something about the way she always forgave me for things I didn’t deserve to be forgiven for—the way she believed in me—settled something inside me.I felt whole in a way I never thought I’d experience.

“You want me some other way?”

“Yes,” she said.“I want you to stop bein’ so careful with me.I won’t break.I want you to show me how you really feel, and I want you to know that I’m okay with it.”

She climbed down, pulled off her tank, and held out her hand.I whipped my T-shirt over my head, tossed it, and accepted that hand, letting her drag me through her living room.Before she could lead me to her bed, I stopped her behind the couch, and she turned slowly.

I didn’t speak, but I bent her forward over the back of the couch.She let her arms fall limp but then gripped the cushions hard when I shoved my hand inside her sweats.I worked it beneath her thin panties, cupped her pussy, and she moaned loudly.

She pressed her ass back against my erection, and I began to pump and rub my hips lazily, working myself up into a frenzy with the friction from my jeans.

I hardened like bone just watching her become pliant for me like she was.She wanted to befucked.She wanted to know the storm inside me, and I wanted to show it to her.I wanted her to feel it.

Pulling away, I gripped the top of her sweats and underwear in both hands and shoved them down her legs.She worked them off with her feet as I spread her thighs and trailed my fingers slowly toward her pussy.I dragged them between her lips, her breath sped, and she tried to fuck my hand.

“Hold on, baby girl,” I breathed, listening to the shake in my voice and letting myself give into the want I felt for her, the wild, ragged need she’d awoken in me.

Unzipping my jeans, I remembered my wallet in my back pocket and grappled for it as they fell down my thighs.As soon as my cock was unbound, it sought her body like she was the only light in the dark.I let it slip between her ass cheeks so she could feel me pulse and jerk as I ripped open a condom packet.Without Shania’s dulcet tones filling the silence, the sound cracked through AJ’s living room loud as thunder.

She moaned again and clenched her cheeks.They squeezed the life out of my dick, and pre-come seeped out and coated her soft skin.I’d never seen anyone sexier than AJ, bent over and ready to take me, and seeing my cum marring the perfect, rounded globes of her ass made saliva pool in my mouth, but it also urged me to get the damn condom on.

When it was in place, I whispered, “Spread for me.”
