A vibration ignites in my chest, and I stop moving. The shock of how easily I could do her harm scares me out of my lust-filled fog, and I take another step away. I have to put some distance between us while I get myself under control. I forgot what I’m capable of, and I could have hurt the woman I love.
“Key, what’s wrong? Why are you walking away from me?” She sits up, and I see that I’ve smeared her makeup and tangled her hair. She looks like she’s been mauled by an animal, and maybe she has. Maybe that’s all I am.
“It’s nothing, I—” I stop talking when her eyes narrow. I can’t lie to her, not only because it would kill me to do it, but because she’s always been able to read me better than anyone.
“You’ve been gone six years, and I think you owe me an explanation.”
I sigh as I run a hand down my face and try to gain control. Somehow my dick isn’t getting the message, so I have to reach down and adjust myself so it’s not so painful. The way her eyes watch me and then widen only makes me harder. I curse as I turn around so that I can clear my head and get a breath of fresh air. With all these heightened senses, I swear it’s like I can feel her all over me.
“Listen, there’s something I need to tell you,” I say after a moment and turn back around. She’s still in the same spot, only this time she’s got her arms crossed over her chest defensively. “You remember the day we had the accident.”
“Yes, I think I can recall the moment my life changed forever,” she deadpans.
Just then the door to her bedroom bursts open, and in come my parents with her parents right behind them.
