“And what was the truth?”
“That I fell in love with you the night we met. That I was pathetically desperate for any scrap of attention you’d give me. And that when you rejected me, I took to doing things I’m not proud of under the guise that it had nothing to do with you, when in reality, you were the only reason I was doing them.”
“I’m sorry. I feel like I’ll never be able to say that enough.”
“I’m not looking for an apology. I just want you to know the truth.”
“Well, how’s this for a bit of truth. After I ended things, every girl I hooked up with for the next year, I pictured she was you. Even accidentally called one by your name in the middle of sex.” I trail my fingers through her silky curls, pushing them over her shoulder.
“You didn’t?” She barks out a laugh.
“Oh, I most certainly did. So, as you see, you weren’t the only one trying to fool yourself.”
“Weird how we were both living in delusion over the other. I assumed you never thought about me at all.”
“I assumed the same about you. I mean, other than to loathe me, of course.”
“Of course.” She smiles and the sight steals the fucking breath from my lungs.
How I did any of that... How I denied myself this for so long is a feat even I can’t believe I accomplished.
“But now you’re stuck with me.”
“And you with me.”
“Guess it’s a good thingwith youis all I want to be.” I roll, forcing her to her back as I rest my weight on top of her. “Well, that andinyou.” I settle between her legs, a wicked smile tugging at the corners of my mouth.
“Again?” She laughs, her arms draping around my neck as I press a kiss to her jaw, her cheek, the tip of her nose.
“When are you going to learn, Mais? When it comes to you, I won’t ever get enough.” I grind my painfully hard erection into her core, finding her already slick with desire, sending my own arousal skyrocketing.
“Ever?”
“I mean, I’m happy to try.” I line myself at her entrance. “Over. And over.” I slide inside of her in one swift thrust, watching her eyes close for a brief moment as she adjusts to me. “And over again.”
“Mac...” she pants, urging me to move.
“But don’t get your hopes up because I don’t see an end in sight to the incessant way I crave you.” I pull out a couple of inches and slowly push back in.
“Good.” She pulls my face down to hers. “Because I don’t ever want this to end.” She presses her mouth to mine. “Now shut up and fuck me.”
“As my girl wishes.” I purr.
And then I do just that.
