"You thought it was a one-time offer, I know," he interrupts me. "You wanted to wake up in the morning and pretend it never happened because you're too embarrassed to admit that you let me even touch you."
I swallow. How does he know exactly how I feel and what I was going to do?
"But that's not going to happen," he continues, taking my cheek between his fingers. "I'm not going to let you ruin everything again, Sapphire."
He presses his lips to mine for a quick, almost imperceptible kiss and then wraps his arm around my body and closes his eyes.
That's all. That's all he’s going to tell me. But it doesn't explain anything. It only confuses me even more.
I'm not going to let you ruin everything again...I repeat his words in my head.Again.What is that supposed to mean? What did I do? He was the one who estranged us for no reason.
But I can't ask anything more, although I want to. The words are stuck in my throat, and I can't let them out, afraid of what he might say.
"Don't overthink it, Kendall, just sleep," Josh says again, unexpectedly, and a cold shiver runs down my spine.
How can he always know what I'm thinking?
I turn away from him, lying on my side, facing the window. The storm seems to be calming down, unlike me.
Josh still holds me in his arms, even tighter now, pressing his still rock-hard dick into my back.
How is he going to fall asleep like that? And how does he think I am going to?
Chapter Thirteen
Josh
I had been lying motionless for about an hour when I heard the car pull up to the house. I knew it was Damian coming here straight from the airport. And I knew I should wake Kendall up, but the pleasure of hugging her from behind and looking at how calm and relaxed she was in my arms overcame the fear of Damian seeing us together in her bed.
To be honest, I don't give a shit about my brother or what he might think of this. I know he won't judge me or tell our parents about it. And even if he did, I don't care what they think of us. I’ve wanted this to happen since I was fourteen years old, and nothing can ruin my joy at holding Sapphire in my arms.
But I also know that Kendall would freak out if my brother saw us together in one bed. She'll get mad that I didn't wake her up. It could ruin everything that’s barely even started.
That's why I gently press my lips next to her ear, inhaling her scent and whispering, "Good morning, beautiful."
Kendall quietly murmurs something and then slowly opens her eyes. It takes her a couple of seconds to realize what is going on.
"Oh gosh." She jumps up, looking at me with fear and surprise. I guess she didn’t think last night was real. If I'd silently walked out of this room and she'd woken up alone, I bet she'd think it was just a dream.
But it wasn't a dream, Sapphire. It was a dream coming true.
The sheets fell down when she sat up, exposing her naked breasts. I wasn't expecting that, and my gaze goes lower to her beautiful puckered nipples, which are staring at me as if begging to be touched again.
Touching Kendall in the dark was unbelievable, but seeing her gorgeous body in the daylight is an entirely different story.
When she notices where I’m looking, she grabs the sheet and covers herself, her cheeks instantly getting red.
I hear the main door open, and my brother yells, "Kids, I'm home! Where's my breakfast?"
"Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God!" Kendall starts to panic, looking around the room, trying to find a solution.
"Shhh, everything's going to be fine, Sapphire." I try to calm her down by placing my palm over her wrist, but she pulls away, staring into the distance.
"How could I let this happen?" Her voice is trembling when she speaks, still looking into the abyss. It's not a question she wants me to answer. She's obviously talking to herself.
Those simple words make my heart squeeze.
She regrets our night together.
