Page 131 of Uniquely in Love

“Owen…” I choked up. God, did he have any idea how perfect he was?

His hand threaded through his hair, and then his mouth met mine, tongue tangling as we gave each other everything. His lips moved against mine like it was the single most important thing in the world to kiss me. And I felt the same. There was nowhere I’d rather be than right here, right now, being kissed by him.

When Owen spun me around, I knew he was looking at his name on the back of my jersey. His fingers traced down my spine until he was tugging up the hem, slipping his hands underneath and up my bare stomach. He cupped my breasts, squeezing lightly. I let out a low moan, unable to hold back when he pulled the cups down, flicking his thumbs across my nipples.

“Thank fuck I don’t have a roommate,” he said as I whined again, pushing my hips back against him. “Now be a good girl and sit on the bed, El.”

The bossy tone in his voice made the heat rise in my body, and I quickly complied, sitting on the edge and looking up at him expectantly.

He kneeled down in front of me, unzipping my heeledboots before pulling them off my foot, tossing them across the room before repeating with the other one. My socks followed, and then he was tugging my skinny jeans down my legs, my blue polka dot panties following until I was bare in front of him.

Owen pushed my legs apart, dragging his tongue up my entrance without preamble. Like he would die if he didn’t taste me. Like he was starving, and I was his last meal. He sucked and licked at my clit and my pussy, until I was begging him to let me come, his tender strokes with his tongue driving me wild. I dug my hands in his thick blond strands, pulling him tighter against me.

“Please,” I cried. “Owen.”

He finally pulled back, his mouth wet, coated with my juices, and I practically orgasmed on the spot just from the sight.

I sat up, pulling off the jersey and my bra, and then wiggled backwards on the bed until my head hit the pillows. Owen quickly divested himself of his own clothes before joining me on the bed, draping his body over mine.

“I love you,” he murmured, tracing his lips down my skin, taking his time like he was memorizing every inch of my skin. His tongue circled over one nipple, and then the other, before kissing down my stomach, sitting up and staring down at me. His hair was messed up from my fingers, and his eyes were dark as his gaze roved over me. “You’re so beautiful, Ellie. Like every dream of mine made into a reality.” He shook his head. “I’m so fucking lucky that you came back into my life. If you hadn’t come chasing after me, I’d never have gotten this opportunity. I’d never be this wonderfully happy.”

Sitting up, I practically launched myself into his lap, hugging him tight. “I love you so much. I’ve loved you as long as I can remember, honestly. From the very beginning, you always took care of me. Looked out after me. I rememberwhen I was learning to ride my bike, and I fell and scraped my knee. I was crying, and do you know who came out with a bandaid and stuff to clean me up?”

He did his best to look bashful. “Me?”

I nodded. “You were always like that. I remember watching you when you started skating, too. I think I told you once that was why I asked to learn. Because I watched you out there, playing peewee hockey, and I was entranced. God, it was mesmerizing. And then we got older. Every day, I fell in love with it a little more. Withyou,a little more. And then I blinked, and there you were. This older guy who I had this massive crush on. My best friend’s older brother, who was the hottest guy in High School, and then you know what he did?”

Owen popped a little smile. “What?”

“He askedmeout on a date. He askedmeto go to prom with him. And god, I was enamored. Like, me? He liked me?”

“Ellie.” He laughed. “I was the one who couldn’t believe you wanted to go out with me.”

“Luckiest girl in the whole damn school, that’s what I was. Everyone was jealous of me when I wore your jersey at your games. I used to get death glares when we walked out to the parking lot together.”

“No way.”

I nodded. “Yes way. But I didn’t care. Because you were mine, and we were Ellie and Owen, and I knew we were gonna make it.”

“Making out with you in my truck probably helped, too.”

“Oh yeah.” I smirked, poking him in the arm. “I think we’re gonna need some repeats of that.”

“You might have mentioned that before.” He smoothed a piece of hair over my ear. “I’ll get another one.”

Closing my eyes, I let a feeling of calmness wash over me. “I love you and I don’t want to lose you. I never should have tried to keep things from you. You were scared, and I knew it.You’d told me that. And I still kept such a big secret.” He opened his mouth to say something, but I shook my head and kept going. “I promise, from now on, that I will always be honest with you. I’ll be open about how I’m feeling and where my head is at. That way, we don’t have to get into another stupid fight ever again.”

“We’re going to fight.” Owen’s finger brushed under my chin. “But I never want to go to bed mad at each other. I never want to leave the house upset ever again. Leaving you behind made me feel likeshit, baby. You were so far away, and I couldn’t come home. It wasn’t a conversation I wanted to have on the phone, and I was just miserable.”

“I know. That’s why I came to you.”

A smile touched his lips. “You’re fucking amazing.”

Owen scooted us farther on the bed, letting his back rest against the headboard and stretching his legs out underneath us. I stayed happily on his lap, my arms wrapped around his shoulders.

“I still can’t believe you’re here. That you did this.” He kissed me, and it quickly grew passionate, until I was rubbing against him, every rock of my hips making my clit brush over his hardened cock.

I moaned, and he dropped his head, his mouth claiming my nipple. Lifting my hips, I wiggled until the tip of his cock pressed against my entrance, and then I sank down, taking all of him inside me.
