With that, she turns and walks away, leaving me wondering what the future holds for us.
Sarah
The drive to my house is tense, the silence building a solid brick wall between us. Luke is standing there with steel-toe boots on ready to kick it down, but I’m not so sure I’m ready. We both have things that need to be said, but neither one of us utters anything profound.
“How are you feeling?” Long awkward silence.
“I feel fine.”
“How is Ashley feeling?”
“She’s doing well. She’s been asking for you.” More awkward silence. When we arrive at my house, Luke offers to sleep on the couch.
“I already made up Ashley’s room. You’ll be more comfortable,” I insist.
“Thank you.” I walk past him, to the linen closet, to grab some extra blankets and towels, feeling his laser eyes on me the entire time.
“If you need anything else, just let me know.” I attempt to make my escape from this awkwardness.
“Sarah, we need to talk.” He stands in front of me, and I let out a long sigh.
What the hell possessed me to let him stay at my house? Am I crazy? Apparently, I like torturing myself. I don’t want to talk about what’s going to happen when it’s time for him to leave again. I’m still not over him, probably never will be, and every day is another day closer to more heartbreak.
“Luke, there’s nothing to talk about. I'll always be indebted to you for all that you’ve done, but I understand you need to get back to LA soon.”
I brush past him to exit the room, but he snags my wrist, halting me in my steps. He pulls me into his hard body, and I gasp. My traitorous nipples tighten to the point of pain, and I’m craving his kiss—yearning for the warmth of his skin.
“Sarah, you don’t understand. I don’t want this to be over. I’m not letting you go this time,” he says sternly, as his thumb caresses my cheek. I make a weak attempt to pull away from him, but he draws me in tighter.I never want him to let go.
My skin tingles and a sudden warmth emerges between my legs. I take in a deep breath and close my eyes tight, summoning the strength to speak. “Luke, this will never work. You have a life in California, and my life is here, so we’re back to the same old issue. We had fun the other night—that was never our problem. We were always fun together, but we’re not good for each other. It’s time we get back to reality, and right now my only concern is Ashley. My only wish is that you’ll have a relationship with her in the future because she honestly likes you, but I don’t expect anything from you.”
I won't allow myself to have high expectations for a man ever again. The men in my life have only left me disappointed. My daddy abandoned us when I was a little girl, Luke broke my heart, and Ben, well that was a total shitshow. I am not about to let anyone hurt me like that ever again. I slip from his grasp, but he pushes his solid body against mine, backing me into the wall. “What do you want?” I whisper. The heat in his eyes undeniable, and I don’t think I’m even breathing.
“I want you. I want you bad, Sunshine. I want your lips on mine. I want your body under me. I want you, Sarah, and not just for today. You’re my soul mate, and this thing between us is meant to be.”
He crashes his lips against mine, kissing me as if he needs it more than his next breath. His warm mouth devours me, as our tongues remain caught in a wild dance. My traitorous body lets me know how much she appreciates it. I boldly grind my hips against him as the need between my legs becomes unbearable.
The kissing is hard and possessive as if he’s claiming me. But I know I will never be his. I shouldn't give into this so effortlessly, but my entire body melts right into his, not giving up one ounce of fight. As bad as I want this, inevitably, I’ll be left crushed once more. I’m not sure my heart can stand it again. It’s stupid to let myself believe for one second that this could work between us. I’m only setting myself up for an emotional meltdown, one I can’t afford right now.
I break the kiss, breathless and wanting, placing my palms on his chest to push him away. He’s not having it when he crushes his mouth back onto mine, leaving me no choice but to perish in the fire. Reaching down between us, I cup his hard cock, and he groans into my neck.
His kissing, licking, and sucking, lights my skin on fire, throwing all rational thought into a tailspin. I fall to my knees, quickly pulling down the black track pants he’s wearing. I let out a giggle when I realize he’s commando and his eager cock springs to life, nearly smacking me in the jaw.
“Sarah…Wait a second…” He tries to pull me up.Now he wants to wait?
I look up at him and shake my head vigorously from side to side. Seeing the surprise on his face only fuels me more. I grin up at him and then my greedy mouth is on his magnificent cock.
The salty taste of his precum sends a charge straight to my clit, making me hot and needy. I waste no time licking the length of him, teasing the head with the swirl of my tongue. I hollow my cheeks, taking as much of him as I can into my mouth, and suck hard. I do my best to ignore my gag reflex as I take him deep, loving the way his velvety steel hits the back of my throat. He places his palms on the wall above me to steady himself.
“Jesus, baby,” He groans deep from his chest, and I can feel his legs tremble. I love the way he tastes in my mouth. He begins to lose control, and his hips thrust with my motion, a little deeper each time, enticing me even more.
“Fuck, Sarah, it’s too good.” I pick up the pace, doubling my efforts, sucking him like a demon trying to suck the life from him. “Baby, stop I’m gonna…” I go full-on, no hands, grabbing his ass hard, letting my nails dig into his backside. The muscles in his ass tighten, and his thighs shake violently as he drives his cock in and out of my mouth. “Fuck, yes…Fuuuck.”
His fingers grip my hair tight, and his balls hit my chin, just before warm streams of cum jet into my mouth. I release him, and smirk up at his delirious expression, wiping my mouth with the back of my hand, feeling empowered and extremely wet.
He takes a moment to compose himself and reaches under my arms, lifting me off the floor. Then his mouth is on me once more, savagely kissing me. My hands fist his hair and my fingers dig into his scalp. He breaks the kiss, and his eyes bore right into my soul.
“Sarah, I love you.”Spell broken.
