He throws me down in the middle of his bed. I land on his plush covers with a small laugh.

I’ve been so stressed about seeing Rhett and what he thinks of me that being thrown on his mattress seems a bit comical.

The light from the living room and kitchen filter through the open door, giving me just enough light to watch Rhett pull his shirt over his head.

My gaze lowers over his muscles, remembering how I would trail my fingers along every groove.

His abs tense as his erection bobs in his pants as he stares down at me.

“I’ve never wanted you more than I do right now.” He mumbles.

I whisper into the dark. “Then take me. I’m yours.”

This might be the biggest mistake I’ve made in a long while, but it sure is going to be worth it.

At least it will be for tonight.

Chapter Five

RHETT

I’ve waitedtwo years for this moment. Two years of wishing that she’d want me as much as I want her.

And even though she’s only talking about sex, it’s still a start.

I see the way she looks at me.

It’s the same way I look at her. Our longing looks are hopeful and full of love. We want the other to accept all of us. The good. The bad. And the ugly.

We want our pasts to be forgiven, and our flaws accepted.

I love Francesca no matter what she’s said and done in the past. I just hope one day she will be able to forgive me for the past two years.

I throw her on my bed, watching as her eyelids flutter for a moment and a giggle escapes past her lips.

Gripping the hem of my shirt, I pull it up over my head before throwing it down on the carpet.

Her gaze lowers over my exposed torso, lingering on my abs for a few extra moments. I’ve bulked up a bit more since she’s been gone. My abs are more defined and the V that disappears below the waistband of my pants is more pronounced.

She used to love that part the most. She’d spendhours trailing her fingers along the groove, driving me wild with her teasing.

My abs tense and my erection bobs in my pants as she stares at me.

“I’ve never wanted you more than I do right now.” I mumble.

She whispers into the dark. “Then take me. I’m yours.”

Those words egg me on, propelling my feet forward until I am climbing on the bed to be with her.

I undo the button on her tiny jean shorts before pulling them off and throwing them on top of my shirt. I don’t hesitate to push up her shirt and bra, exposing her perfect breasts.

Having her nearly naked in front of me seems like a dream come true and the only thing I can think about is burying my cock inside of her.

But that’s too fast. I have all night to be inside her. If I only get tonight, then I’m going to savor the moment and savor her.

Pushing her legs open wider, I thrust one finger inside her warmth.

Damn, she’s already soaked.
