Page 90 of Broken Pieces

I barely can mutter a thanks to her as I hang up and shove my phone in my pocket.

I step off the deck, my feet moving at the pace of my heart.

I am only a few feet from Brooks and my head is spinning, my body needing, my heart pounding.

“Hey Rae. What are you—”

I don’t let him finish. I crash into him. My arms wrapping around his neck as my lips connect to his. I can tell he is confused by the kiss. Not only because we are out in public but because I know he can feel the change in my body, the change in the passion behind the kiss.

He pulls his head back before I can take it any further. He looks around, checking to see if anyone noticed. “What are you doing?”

I can’t come up with a reasonable lie, so I just blurt it out. “I love you.”

His eyes snap to mine. “What?”

“I am in love with you Brooks and I am an idiot for not realizing it sooner.”

The shock is still on his face. I can see him trying to form words, but I have left him utterly speechless.

I go to tell him again, but he grabs my butt and lifts me into the air. I wrap my legs around his waist as his lips crash into mine.

He walks us to the cottage. It’s only fifty feet away but it feels like the longest walk of my life. When we finally reach the door, I go to climb off him, but he grips me tighter.

We walk through the door and straight to the bedroom. Neither of us caring about his sweaty body or my powdered sugar covered hair.

He sets me on the edge of the bed. He lifts my shirt off me still without saying a word. I follow suit and pull his shorts down. He pushes me back on the bed as he removes my shorts.

His lips leave a trail of kisses from my foot up my calf to my knee. His tongue licks a trail of heat up my thigh as he reaches the juncture. His lips move across the tops of my thighs as he kisses my scars. His eyes lock on mine as he plunges his tongue into me.

I don’t look away.

I can’t look away.

Because the energy flowing between us is pure love and I have never felt a high like this in my life. I crave him like I craved the drugs I was addicted to for so long. One hit isn't enough.

I need more.

I need him.

I am addicted to him.

And right here in this moment I know he is the only one who will ever make me feel this way. I love him.

He sucks on my clit as he plunges two fingers into me. I grip the sheets as pleasure courses through my body. But I don’t lose eye contact with him.

It doesn’t take long for me to come. My body convulsing within seconds.

He moves up my body our eyes still connected, the storm raging between us. When he is face to face with me, he finally opens his mouth. “I never thought those three words would mean so much to me. I love you Raelynn. More than I could ever put into words.”

I wrap my arm around his neck and bring his lips to mine at the same time he enters me. We both moan into each other’s mouths. But neither of us close our eyes.

We find a rhythm with our bodies just as our hearts do.

We come together and only then do we both close our eyes.

I never knew what it was like to make love.

But if this is how it feels, I never want to lose it.

“I love you,” I whisper into his ear as his head cuddles into my neck.

He pulls up our eyes meeting again. “I love you, too.”

We spend the rest of the night in each other’s arms, learning more about our bodies than we knew before.

I never thought the broken pieces of my heart could be put back together, but with the love Brooks is showing me tonight I don’t see how I could ever be broken again.
