quietly.
She started to turn around, but I tugged her hand just enough for me to see her profile as she closed her eyes. She felt it as just like I did. There was an undeniable connection between us. I pulled her into my arms and with one hand moved the stray strands of her caramel hair away from her soft skin. I saw her mouth was slightly agape, and I pulled her face towards mine. I was mere centimeters from her lips, the warmth of her breath sliding against my own.
“You should go Mylie or you might regret staying,” I said softly.
“I don’t want to go,” she said anxiously.
Damn.
“I’m not right for you Mylie. You deserve someone like Thor.”
“But I don’t want him.”
“Tell me what you want Mylie.”
“You.”
That was enough for me. I pulled her towards me, pressing my lips against hers, and kissed her hard. I felt her soft velvet tongue slip past my lips. Her lips, the cherries that had taunted me, were so soft and delectable. I could kiss these lips for a lifetime, but I only had this moment. I wrapped my arm around her waist and pulled her tightly against my chest.
I ripped the dreaded leather jacket off her body. I trailed kisses down her jaw, neck, and kissed her shoulder, nibbling my way to her neck again. She moaned in my ear and pressed her soft body more firmly against mine. I lifted her right leg, pulling her thigh to wrap around my hip. I felt her warmth at the apex of her legs, and I knew I should stop. I started to pull away.
“Don’t stop,” she whispered.
She’s going to kill me.
“We can’t do this Mylie,” I said hoarsely.
I fully disengaged myself from her beautiful body. The hurt in her blue eyes pulled on my heart; I didn’t want to hurt her. I was jaded, and she deserved more than just the sex I could offer her. She deserved a man who would cherish her, a man like Xavier.
Mylie
What did I do?
He warned me I would regret it. He was right I did regret it. I regret that it had stopped. He tried to push me into Xavier’s arms, and I knew I did deserve more. For Pete’s sake I had waited for more, but Lord, my body betrayed me, and it wanted him. I couldn’t decide which I could live with, his body or my regret
He drove away, and I was stuck thinking about all of the decisions I had made in my attempts to find the right guy. All of that was thrown out the window because I had an unbelievable attraction to someone. From the beginning, he had shown bravery, but he was crude, callous, and damn it, sexy as hell.
“Penny for your thoughts?” I heard Xavier ask softly.
I closed my eyes and try to savor his voice, the timbre of it when he whispered in my ear, and how he had soothed me when I was in panic.
“I hate hospitals,” I whispered.
As soon as I said it, I was transported back to the past and the night of the accident. I remembered the ambulance arriving too late. I remembered how the officer put us in the back of the police cruiser. I had watched as an EMT rushed to my mother, but he just shook his head and pronounced the time of death. I recalled feeling helpless, trapped, and scared, but I heard Nik’s whimpers, and I knew I had to be strong.
It was different with Daddy. I could remember seeing him, and I immediately thought he was dead because of all the blood. He was still alive somehow, but with severe brain damage. I remember we visited my father while he was on breathing machines, and it was my father’s mother who was left with the choice of holding faith or letting go. The memory of my last moment with my dad would haunt me for the rest of my life.
‘Daddy, please don’t leave us too. Mommy’s in heaven now, and we don’t want you to go. I love you Daddy.’ I cried silently. ‘Daddy, if you can hear me and you want me to let you go with Mommy in heaven, squeeze my hand Daddy.’
I waited for what felt like an eternity until I felt a quiet breeze rustle through the strands of my hair and smelled the fragrance of my mother’s
