I can’t help but smile. She’s so adorable.
“Hey, stranger.”
Her head snaps toward me. “Hi. Sorry. Did I wake you?”
I shake my head. “I was up. What are you doing here?”
She nervously chews at her lower lip. “Honestly? I’m not sure.” Her fingers fidget with the bottom of her skirt. “I just miss you.”
“I miss you too.” I motion for her to come upstairs. “Come here. Let me hold you.”
She hesitates briefly before eventually walking up the stairs. She’s in a short skirt with a very small, revealing tube top. She looks like sex on a stick.
I pull her into my arms, and she immediately relaxes into me. “I don’t know what to do, Tanner. I can’t shake you. There’s this ache in my body without you.”
“I know. I feel the same.” I tilt her chin up so we’re looking at each other. “For now, can I kiss you? I miss your lips and your taste so fucking much.”
She nods, and my lips immediately find hers. As soon as my tongue touches hers, she mumbles into my mouth, “I don’t want to want you, but I do. I need you.”
I lift her legs to wrap them around me and then push her against the wall. Her skirt is naturally lifted so that my cock can press against her pussy with only the thin threads of our underwear between us. She’s so warm. I’m realizing how cold I’ve been without her. Like a chill I can’t shake.
Our kiss turns frantic as we practically swallow each other whole. It’s been so long since I’ve kissed these beautiful lips.
I lower my boxers enough to free my cock, desperate tobe inside her. When I push her panties to the side, she grabs my wrist and breaks the kiss. “Condom. I can’t do it bare with you anymore. It’s too intense.”
My jaw tightens. Does this mean she’s been with others? I don’t like that at all, but I won’t argue with her right now. We both need this. I wordlessly move us toward my bedroom.
Rummaging around my drawer until I find a condom, I take one out and start to place her on the bed so I can sheath myself.
Her arms squeeze tightly around my neck. “No, not on the bed. The wall is fine.”
“Why are you cheapening this?”
“Just fuck me, Tanner.” Her big brown eyes meet mine with so much need written all over them. “Fuck away the pain that’s been here since we broke up.”
Because I can’t deny her and I want her beyond measure, I sheath myself and then fuck her hard against the wall until she comes.
Once I do the same, I gently place her feet on the ground but keep my body pressed to hers. I don’t want the contact to end, but she gently pushes me away, immediately fixes her panties, and then pulls down her skirt. “I’m going to head out.”
“What? No. Stay with me. In my arms.”
She shakes her head. “No. I can’t.”
“It’s the middle of the night. Just stay. Please.”
She shakes her head. “No, Tanner. I want to be with you…physically. For now. I can’t do anything else and risk my heart breaking all over again. If you find someone else, this ends. If I find someone else, it ends. It’s physical. That’s it. It’s in no way, shape, or form any other kind of relationship. No movies, no dinners, no in-depth conversations, and definitely no sleepovers.”
“Is this about Champ?”
She rolls her eyes. “Champ is just a good friend. Do you honestly think I’d be here right now if he and I were more? Would I have let you fuck me in that bathroom if he and I were together?”
I shake my head. I know she wouldn’t.
I run my fingers through my hair, pulling at the ends. “So you just want to be…fuck buddies?”
She winces. “I’m not a huge fan of that term, but yes. We can never be more than that, so it’s a purely physical relationship or none at all. The boundary needs to be crystal clear this time. It’s up to you. I’ve told you what I want.”
This is so unlike her. “Are you sure this is really what you want?”
