Page 61 of Sure, Pal

Sienna took both of my hands in hers. “Because I choose you. It means you are absolutely the one I can’t live without, and I wish like hell I’d chosen you sooner.”

I unbuckled my seatbelt and took her face in both hands. What the hell was I waiting for? I loved the shit out of this girl, and it wasn’t doing either of us any favors for me to hold her at arm's-length until I felt better. I pressed my lips to hers, and she answered back with burning passion. Sienna wrapped her arms around my neck and buried her hands in my hair. She sighed against my lips and then broke the kiss.

I gazed into her eyes, feeling dizzy and out of breath. “You’re mine.”

Sienna nodded. “Yeah, dude. I thought it was obvious.”

I climbed out of the car and scooped Sienna up in my arms. She smiled at me and said, “The last time you carried me like this, I was about to die from anaphylaxis.”

I smiled back at her as I carried her up to her apartment. “You scared the shit out of me that day, pal. I think that was when I first realized I still felt more than friendship for you.”

Once inside her apartment, I carried Sienna straight to her bed. I lay her down in the middle and hovered over her, forcing myself to show some restraint. I was grieving, and my head was a mess, but I ached for her. She was the only thing that made sense in all of the bullshit I’d been through in the last year.

I wanted to tear her clothes off and feel her skin against mine. I wanted to get lost in Sienna, but I also knew she’d made a tough decision for me. She’d lost her best friend and tanked her career for me, and I hadn’t even noticed. Did she regret it? I pressed a gentle kiss to her forehead and asked, “Are you sure you made the right choice? I’m a broken mess right now.”

Sienna’s eyes burned with something indescribable. “Yes. I love all of your pieces, and when you’re ready, we’ll pick them all up and put you back together.”

My wall of restraint collapsed, and my desire burst through. I kissed her lips and slid my tongue into her mouth, pressing my body into hers. Sienna opened her legs and wrapped them around me while my hands roamed her body. I slid the strap of her tank top down and ran kisses from her shoulder to her jaw.

It wasn’t enough. I sat up and tugged my shirt off over my head. Sienna did the same with her tank top. I unhooked her bra and ran my tongue over her nipples, loving the way they hardened for me. “ You’re mine.”

Her eyes traveled over my face. “I’ve always been yours. I didn’t know if you were mine, though. I didn’t know if I hurt you too much or if my timing was a complete mess.”

I smiled and brushed her hair back, stroking her face with my thumb. “You did hurt me, and your timing is a complete mess, but you could throw that right back at me, couldn’t you? I know I hurt you, too. Maybe we just forget about everything that happened in the past and focus on the here and now.”

Sienna nodded. “What do you want right now?”

I laughed and leaned down to suck on her tits. Then I glanced up at her. “Well, I mean, right this second, I want to fuck you.” I pressed my erection against her warm center. “After that, I’d like to call you my girlfriend, because yeah, I’m yours, too.”

Sienna laughed and gently pushed me off of her. She stood and slid out of her jeans and panties. Then she stood at the foot of her bed and slowly ran her hands down her body.

My words came out in a low growl. “Get over here.”

Sienna bit her lip and slowly turned in a circle. “I thought you liked to enjoy the view first.”

“Fuck. I do.” I stood and pulled off my pants.

Sienna gazed at my cock as it sprang free. She licked her gorgeous lips and asked, “Soft and sweet, or rough and wild?”

I laughed and wrapped my arms around her, pulling her down onto the bed with me. “What about rough and sweet? I want to claim every inch of your body, and some of that will require rough handling.” I gripped her ass. “Like, this ass is mine.”

She nodded.

I flipped her over and kissed each breast. “These tits are mine.”

She nodded.

I kissed her neck and shoulders. “Mine.” I pressed my lips to hers. “Mine.” I ran my hands down her body, and she seemed to shiver with anticipation. When I reached her pussy, I gently slid my tongue into her slit. She gasped and arched her back. I pulled back, just slightly, and said, “Mine.”

Sienna moaned with her eyes closed. “Yes! Oh god, Evan, yes!”

Her arousal was the sexiest fucking thing I’d ever seen. I ran my tongue over her clit, wanting to fill her to bursting with pleasure and not wanting to miss the look on her face when she came. Sienna fucking Black — my fucking soulmate, my little slice of heaven, mine.

When she came, I almost felt her pleasure, too. I felt her body tense, shudder, and then melt as she rode each wave. Fuck. Yes. I slid my cock right into her pussy and groaned as I felt her walls still tightening from her orgasm. I lifted her legs, and she pressed them against my shoulders as I thrust into her. Fuck, I’d missed this.

After I came, I lay next to her and pulled her into my arms. “I’m sorry about Ava. I’m sorry I didn’t even notice what you were going through.” I played with her hair, and she rested her head on my chest.

When she spoke, her voice was quiet and soft. “You have nothing to apologize for, Evan. Don’t ever apologize for your grief or for asking to be put first.”

“Right back at you. We’re going to put each other first because that’s what we both deserve.”
