Page 78 of It Never Was

I look at her confused, "Why?"

"I have you here." She looks around us, "And I'm over here crying. I'm ruining it."

I can't help but let out a deep laugh, "You could never ruin anything when it comes to time with you." I rubbed a tear from her cheek with my thumb. Hyper aware of how close she is to me. The air in my lungs is heavy with desire to pull her into me completely. I lean in slightly, hovering closer over her lips feeling her breath on mine waiting for a sign. I didn't want to push her past her limits but fuck me I needed her to know how I felt. I need to feel her full lips on mine. I craved the taste of her, and I didn't even know the flavor yet.

Then she nods and I gently run my lips over hers, my hands carefully pulling her into me to get more of her.

My lips capture hers and the sweet taste of her invades my senses, my mind is dizzy, and my heart is pounding out of my chest. Her taste is exactly what I knew I needed. I forced myself to hold back just a bit, not wanting to scare her off but fuck she tastes so good.

Her mouth parted for me allowing my tongue to glide onto hers, she tasted even better than I imagined, and I imagined it a lot.

Nothing could keep her from me now. I am completely and utterly hers.

"I knew I couldn't trust that fucking bitch!" I slammed my car door as I got back in.

My blood was hot and the need to get this out of me was overwhelming. I turned to see my girl typing away at her screen, "Hello? Did you not just hear me?"

"Yeah, and I told you that when I saw them all cozy and batting their eyelashes at the coffee shop that they were most definitely fucking."

The thought of that guy touching what is mine, had me shaking. I know I didn't leave Ryen on the best terms, but I needed her to need me deep in her bones. I needed her to grovel for me again, with tears and broken sentences. That plan didn't end up like I thought it would. No, instead I followed her from a distance, just until my bruises healed from that fucking asshole. Her new co-worker Parker.

Fuck that guy.

He had the nerve to not only protect her from me but then to come reaping vengeance for her. He is lucky I was piss drunk that night or he would have been the one with a busted lip and black eye. And now picturing her letting him fuck her, like it wasn't enough that I just had to see his lips touch my Ryen.

I crashed my closed fist on the steering wheel so hard the emblem cracked, "Fuck!"

"Baby…" She cooed, "Are you stressed out over her?"

I turned to her, still seeing the faded film over my vision. She is on her knees leaning against my center console, her head propped on her hands looking at me with doe-eyes.

"He is touching what is mine, I have every right to be pissed." I hiss through my teeth.

She leans in further letting her arms drop down, her tits pushing up further, "She is still yours, baby. She just doesn't realize it yet." Her hand comes up to cup my cheek, "You'll show her. I know you will."

"Then I should go show her and him right now!" I shout, grabbing for the door handle.

She grabs my arm firmly and I shoot my look at her again. I lunge, my hand wraps around her neck as I press her against the passenger door.

A grin spread across her face and her eyes darkened, "You will in time baby." Her words are strained against my hold on her throat, but she presses into it. Her chest heaving as she tries to take deep breaths. My cock twitches at the sight, it feeds this hunger in me. Not as much as Ryen's fear but it curbs the craving I have. I crash my lips against hers gripping her throat harder so she can't take a breath. I pull away seeing her squirm in my hold, her face turning red, the need to get my dick in something right now is primal.

She must read my face too well because she barely whispers through my hold, "Do it." I grab at her jeans and rip the button and zipper open, my need to be deep inside her is primal now and I can see how much she loves it.

Ryen

The smile on my face is genuine for once as I take orders and make drinks, this shift has been an easier one compared to the other ones these past few months. Even with the constant replay of the Christmas soundtrack going on in the lobby.

Parker left shortly after we kissed in my room and I haven't been able to get the feeling of his full lips on mine out of my head, and I didn't want to. I want that feeling to stay there forever. A shiver went through me at the memory of how he made me melt, the whole moment has me smiling uncontrollably.

Willow was next to me at the register and was mirroring my smiles, "I see someone is happy." she bumps my hip with hers, "I like seeing you smiling again."

I continue my work when I hear a familiar voice, "Well hello ladies." Gabe saunters up to the register, eyes fixated on Willow, hands behind his back. I can't help but roll my eyes as I see how determined he is. He has no clue what he is getting himself into with that.
