“And I know what I want, too—you.”
My hand stayed on her leg, our eyes locked.
There was nothing else to do but kiss her.
I wrapped my arms around her slender body, pulling April close, our chairs moving together. The kiss went on, our tongues dancing, our hands exploring one another’s bodies.
Then she pulled away.
“What’s going to happen?” she asked. “With me and you and Willa?”
“I don’t know.” The first bit of truth I’d told in a long while. “But if you want, we can go through it together.”
“Together. It’s what I want. More than anything.”
“Then let’s make it happen.”
She’d have to know the truth. But this wasn’t the time.
None of that mattered. At that moment, all that did was her and me.
We kissed, both rising from our chairs and making our way back inside to the bedroom. April and I had one another out of our clothes in no time, and I stood in awe of her body the way I always did. She was so beautiful, and only became more so as my feelings for her grew.
We started kissing again, my hand on her pussy and hers on my cock. She stroked me slowly, lovingly, moans pouring from her mouth as I touched her in return. I put my hand on the small of her back, lifting her easily off her feet, my cock grazing between her legs, more sighs coming from her lips.
Moments later I was on top of her, my head positioned at her lips.
I love you.
The words came to mind, scaring the living hell out of me.
I loved her? Was that the way I felt?
It was too much to think about, too much on top of everything else.
But as the simple phrase lingered in my mind, I became more and more certain it was the truth.
I loved her.
Though there was no way I could say it.
“Are you all right?” she asked, brushing my cheek.
“I’m good.”
She smiled sweetly. “Good. Now, where were we?”
April didn’t need to ask twice. I pushed into her, penetrating her, filling her with me. She closed her eyes in sensual delight as I thrust into her again and again, her head tilting back as she moaned with pleasure.
I came, and she came along with me. She gave me another dreamy smile as I pumped deep within her heavenly walls.
And soon we were laying together, April curled up against me the way she always did when we made love.
Made love. The words were more true than ever.
But I had to keep my feelings from her. It was one more lie I had to tell.
