see it that way. I can’t even explain how I’m feeling about everything right now.”
“You’re stronger than you think you are, believe me.”
This time, he grabbed her hand and gripped it tightly. “When I first got home this evening, all I could think about was how much of a hypocrite I am. All this time I’ve been so sure that Casey was going to be the one in this position, and there I was, seconds away from just drinking straight from that bottle. I’m not sure what stopped me from doing it.”
Eva notice d how much his expression reminded her of a young boy who had been scolded and knew that he had done wrong. He was ashamed of himself and she wished she could prove to him how proud she was. He had came so close to being back at day one with sobriety that it terrified her, but the fact that this was probably the hardest day he had faced since the accident and didn’t go through with it was something positive.
“I don’t know why you put up with me.”
“Because I love you,” she replied, leaning in to give him another kiss.
“I love you too.”
It was times like this that Michael was thankful that he had Eva in his life. Had she not walked through that door when she did, there’s no telling if he eventually would have gone through with it.
He was scared out of his mind. It had been a long time since he had sat with temptation so close to him. He also felt embarrassed for breaking down the way he had. He tried to control his tears, but the more he fought, the faster they came. He was glad Eva was someone he could trust with it all.
“I’ve gotta take care of something right quick,” Michael said, as he walked to the kitchen , Eva right behind him . Grabbing the bottle, he twisted the cap off and poured the amber liquid down the sink, watching the poison swirl around. The liquor smell was strong and he quickly backed away, feeling a sense of victory. “Just had to get it out of the house. It was like someone sitting on top of me.”
“Corny or not, one step at a time.”
Michael wrapped his arm around her waist, resting his palm in the curve of her back. “Thank you, Eva.”
“It was all you.”
“I don’t think I agree with that at all.” He pulled her in for a kiss, this one more passionate than the others. His tongue parted her lips and he ran his fingers through her ha ir, his other hand caressing the small of her back. Pulling away, his kisses moved down to her neck and up to her ears. She let out a soft moan as he fumbled with the button on her pants.
All of his worries seemed to slowly fade away, as if making love to Eva would cleanse him of this horrible day and his experience at Rikers Island. She was the only thing solid in his life. He took in her scent, the smoothness of her skin, and the taste of her lips.
He felt her hand grab his, pulling him away from the kitchen, a seductive and flirtatious look flashing on her face. Her delicate features seemed to stand out even more and he stood back for a moment, admiring and realizing just how truly blessed he was. How could a woman as perfect as Eva stay with and invest all this time in him? He probably would never understand why. She was too good for him.
“Shall we continue this in the bedroom?” Eva asked, guiding his hands to each side of her body.
They got there slowly and Michael pushed her against the wall, her back up against him as he moved her hair aside. He continued to kiss her neck, the pace growing quicker as she leaned in to his embrace. His hands worked at her clothing. Cupping one of her breasts, he felt her body shiver against his as she let out a low murmur. Her breathing quickened when his hand slipped inside her jeans.
Guiding her to the bed, he lay down beside her, their kisses more deep, their touches causing them both more arousal than just seconds before. She aided in helping him pull his shirt
