He pushed into me faster, deeper and rougher and with a shout, joined me in paradise.
Through the synthetic barrier he protected us with, I felt the heat of his release and just the knowledge of him coming set of fireworks in my belly again. I shuddered and gasped.
I had no idea how long had passed when I felt myself coming back down to earth. No longer riding my high, the gravity of what I just did hit me.
My heart was still racing but the rhythm changed into a more panicked feeling. My body tensed, all the sweet sensations morphing to horror.
The smell of sex was heavy and wetness coated the inside of my thighs, both testaments to my lapse in judgment.
Wyatt was still hard inside me and my body was still responding to his readiness despite the walls my brain and heart were erecting.
Wyatt felt the change in me though, I knew.
He turned me in his arms and looked down at me, his eyes searching before he tilted his lips toward mine.
I dodged them and they grazed my cheek.
He let his lips linger there for a moment before lifting his head. He cupped my chin and made me look back at him.
“What’s wrong? Regrets already?” he asked.
I couldn’t look at him when I said, “I can’t do this again. This was a mistake. We should never had allowed his to happen.”
“Why? We were great together,” he stated.
We were. My body was still shaking with how great and that was exactly the problem.
“I cannot get emotionally involved with anyone right now, Wyatt.”
Especially you.
I left that part unsaid but it hang in the air nonetheless.
His answer left me shocked.
“Then let’s leave the emotions out of it.”
He said it like it was the most logical thing in the world and the only response I could muster was, “What?”
“We both have a lot going on right now wi
th school and everything. A relationship will only complicate things so let’s keep it strictly physical. We’re great together. And med school is going to be stressful as hell, we both need this release. Even though we just fucked, I want you again. And I know you want me too. Let’s be friend with benefits.”
I definitely should not agree to that crude proposal.
That is what my head said.
My mouth seemed to be in agreement with my body though because, after a few heart beats, I said, “Okay.”
We would have sealed the deal with a kiss but my cell phone started to blare form its position in my bag.
Time to get back to reality.
Chapter Nine: Wyatt
After tossing and turning for many, long hours, I finally fell into a restless, troubled sleep. I wanted sleep to be easy but instead my brain wouldn’t let it go. Whatever the hell it was.
Even though I was out of the military I still slept like I was. I was trained to sleep lightly, to be able to wake up at a moment’s notice. I don’t know when the last time was I fell so deeply into sleep that I forgot my surroundings.
