“No.” I sighed. “I’m sorry if it came out that way. I’m just saying that when your daughter grows up and maybe she meets a guy who doesn’t fit your perfect standards, cut her some slack, or you might just ruin her life, like you ruined mine.” With that, I turned and walked away.
“Wow.” Mer stated.
“Yeah. She called me back as I walked away. Said for what it was worth she was sorry and she hoped that maybe someday I would find you again. I just turned away from her and carried on walking. I wasn’t just angry with her. She might have lit the stick of dynamite that blew us apart but you were the one who let it explode.”
“I made a mistake, Garrett.” Those brown eyes fixed on mine, her gaze determined. "Now we can sit here, order a dessert and continue to punish each other for it, or we can get the check, go to my room and start living the rest of our lives. It’s up to you.”
I got the check.
Chapter 13
Meredith
I was so goddamn pleased he got the check.
We hurried back to my room and once through the door, clothes were shed like they were aflame. We kissed and nipped at each other’s bodies as we shucked off our clothes and fell back onto my bed. It was like we wanted to devour each other. I couldn’t stop running my hands over the grooves of his body, feeling the sinews of his still toned arms, the smoothness of that taut, ripped abdomen. Our bodies remembered each other’s instantly and clamored to make up for all that lost time. Juices pooled between my thighs.
“I just need to be in you, Mer. I can’t wait.”
“Yes, do it. I feel the same.”
Without hesitation, he took hold of his erect cock, lined it up at my entrance and thrust into me all the way home. We groaned and moaned in unison as our bodies made the most intimate connection. His thrusts were frenzied, and I bucked up to meet every one of them. Sweat poured down our faces, and we were breathless as frustration, anger, loss and lust made themselves known.
We exploded, reaching our crescendos together.
The relief about now, or sadness about the time we had lost made tears course down my cheeks.
“Mer, no. No, no, no. Don’t cry. I’m here, don’t cry.”
“I could have lost this forever. Damn, I was so stupid.”
His fingers came under my chin and he tilted my face up to look into my eyes. “We have found each other again, Mer. No looking back, okay? No looking back, ever.”
I nodded and his lips swept down, his tongue licking up every last drop of my tears and replacing them with brushes of loving kisses.
The kisses then trailed down my neck, down onto my chest, around my breasts, down across my stomach and then down each thigh one at a time, until he rested his head between my legs and his tongue darted out and licked my core, causing my hips to raise from the bed. God, I’d missed him. This second time we took all the time we needed. His tongue delved and teased, building me back up to ride yet another crest of a wave as I came against his mouth. He sucked in my juices greedily.
I moved us so that he was sitting at the edge of my bed and I took him in my mouth. I don’t know if he realized it -his eyes seemed to understand, as he looked at me, although they were filled with lust - that this was where we had been, the exact position, all those years ago when I had allowed Tana to drive me away. Right now I had taken us back to that time, and I was holding on for dear life.
I took him to the back of my throat, sucking hard and caressing his balls with my fingers. Then I moved him so he was back in my hand and I flicked my tongue around his tip and teased the underside of his cock. Then I took him back in my mouth increasing the strength of my sucks and I looked up at him while I did it. Watching him watching me. I hoped I looked like I was serving him, giving my all to the worship of his cock, and to him. His hands came around to hold the back of my head as his hips thrust upwards. He fucked my mouth hard, and I held fast until he came, his cock shuddering in my mouth as spurts of creamy, salty cum bathed my throat.
We moved up to my bed and got under the comforter and Garrett held me in his arms while we dozed. It was all so familiar from what we’d enjoyed before, but I didn’t know what would happen from now. I let sleep take me so I could face whatever happened next.
I stirred as I felt Garrett move away from me.
“Garrett?” I questioned, panicking that he was leaving me.
“Babe, I’m just going to your bathroom to freshen up. I’ll be right back.”
My heart beat fast as I collapsed back against my pillows, praying that he wouldn’t leave me, like I had him.
He returned from the bathroom, pulled me into his arms and made sweet love to me all over again.
When the morning came, I explained he might see my roommates’ downstairs.
“You made new friends, huh?”
“Yes, I did.” I smiled. “I really needed some.”
