His hands fell from her face as he took a step backwards. “Shit.”
“Look, it’s okay. Maybe we should forget about the whole thing and focus on what really matters, and talk about how we’re going to make things work with us co-parenting Frankie. I’ll get some clothes on so we can talk.”
His hand engulfed hers before he pressed his lips against her knuckles. Her digits slightly trembled, giving away that she wasn’t quite as steadfast as she tried to appear.
“You are right about what you said. I’m sorry. I wasn’t aware of slipping into that modus.”
“What modus?” This time her voice broke.
Since he knew she was about to bolt, he pulled her in before he said, “The modus that made me able to have sex without making a real connection.”
She pushed her hand against his chest. “See? I knew it!”
“I missed you Tara, I couldn’t eat or sleep for months! I was a total wreck until my dad made me help him out with renovating and building the apartments behind the big house. In these past few years, I had sex with dozens of women but I kept them at bay by tying them up. I never handed over the power ever again.”
“That sounds so sad…”
“You don’t need to feel sorry for me. I did enjoy myself…” His lip quirked, knowing he was an ass for saying it.
She scoffed. “You’re such a jerk.”
“And what about you? Have there been any other guys I should know about?” Waiting for her answer was like having spiders crawl up his spine.
“No. Never. I only loved you…”
“You don’t need to love somebody to fuck them,” he said with a snort.
Fire flared in her eyes. “Well, I do…”
“We fucked last night…” he mused.
The quiver in her lips and the wobble in her voice made him realize she was at the brink of tears when she said, “Yes, I know…”
“Do you still love me?”
Her sob tore through him but her quick nod gave him hope that all wasn’t lost.
“Fuck, Tara. It’s going to be okay.”
He picked her up and walked her over to the bed. After laying her down softly, he pressed his lips against hers. Her nails scratching his back urged him on to sweep his tongue over her bottom lip.
She opened up for him, welcoming his tongue as she swept her tongue against his. He broke their kiss after tantalizing minutes to get some much-needed oxygen. He ripped her underwear from her body and pushed her strong thighs apart with his hands.
He dove in with his tongue and found her trimmed pussy slick and ready. How could she taste better each time he tasted her? He sucked her clit into his wet mouth as his fingers curled inside of her, brushing her G-spot.
“Oooh, right there. Ah, yes! Don’t stop.”
Tara’s arousal covered his face as he swept his tongue through her folds before swirling back around her clit.
“You want to come, Gorgeous?”
“Yes!”
“Are you ready for it?”
“Oh, my God, yes…”
He licked her pussy, making love to her through his tongue.
