Page 24 of Love Set Me Free

Unable to sit in silence any longer, he pressed his forehead into hers and whispered, “I just want you to be happy.”

With a sniffle, she nodded. “I wish things could be different.”

“Hey,” he murmured, waiting to continue until her eyes met his. “I’m not saying this can’t ever happen. I’m just saying I need time to become the man you deserve, if I’m even capable of that. Right now, I’m not.”

“I don’t agree with you,” she whispered.

The tone of her voice broke his heart. This was never supposed to make her feel so defeated, but he understood that after so much time, this probably felt like a rejection to her. The only thought on his mind was to uplift her and make her feelbetter. Heneededher to feel better, because he couldn’t unless she did, so he did the only thing that felt natural at that moment. The one thing that had been on his mind since the night before. He leaned in and kissed her.

This kiss felt different from the night before. He felt more passion and more desperation to connect in this kiss. Paisley looped her arms around his neck while he pulled her as close as possible, his hands roaming down her back and finding her plump ass. He groaned, feeling his need for her spilling over. It had been entirely too long since he connected with someone like this, which was why he tried to avoid situations like this with Paisley. He knew he wouldn’t be able to control himself, but maybe he had been wrong. It wasn’t just situations like this where he couldn’t control himself around Paisley. It was being around her period. He had been fighting these lustful feelings since before he even got out, and it was only a matter of time before they got to this point.

His lips slipped down to her collarbone and then to her neck. He selfishly wanted to taste every inch of her and savor every single moment.

“Kyd.” His name slipped out of her mouth in a partial cry but also in complete need, which completely shattered him.

He pulled at the back of her knees so she straddled him before scooting back on the bed. Kydrick wasted no time pulling her tank top over her head and unsnapping her bra. Paisley’s breasts were full and sat just right. Her nipples poked out and begged him to latch onto them, so he did. They both groaned when he sucked one nipple into his mouth and used his thumb to caress the other one.

He felt Paisley grinding against him, his dick stiff and aching, but he did his best to slow it down and take his time. This moment was a long time coming, and he didn’t want to mess it up because they were too eager and excited.

When Paisley pulled away to remove her panties, Kydrick knew there was no going back now. He saw her pretty pussy glistening with her juices as soon as she discarded her panties on the floor, causing him to roll over so he was now on top of her.

“You’re so fuckin’ beautiful, Paisley.”

Her entire body blushed as she wiggled underneath him. He leaned down and kissed her again, and she locked her legs behind him. Baby was hot and ready, causing Kydrick’s willpower to slip. Paisley tugged at his shirt, and he pulled back to give them some space so he could undress. He did it slowly, unbuttoning his shirt one by one while holding her gaze.

“Kydrick, please,” she uttered as her chest heaved.

Seeing her lying there with nothing on had him ready to bust a nut right there, but he took in a deep breath before asking, “Do you have any condoms?”

She nodded and pointed toward the nightstand. His brows furrowed. He didn’t know whether to be happy she had condoms so he didn’t have to go out and grab any or pissed off at the thought of her needing condoms.

He got off the bed at the same time he pulled his shirt off, showcasing his muscled arms and chest before he opened her nightstand and looked around for the condoms. He found the black box toward the back and grabbed them, holding them in the air.

“The fuck you need these for?”

Paisley frowned. “Huh?”

“If you can huh, you can hear.”

He snatched a condom out of the box and dropped his pants before pulling down his briefs. His dick sprang out, causing Paisley’s eyes to widen. He chuckled as he opened the condom and rolled it on.

“Focus.”

Her eyes snapped back up to his as he climbed back onto the bed and nestled between her legs. Instead of inserting his throbbing dick into her, he used his index finger to explore her slippery folds.

“I… oh.” The words came out in a gasp before she moaned. “Kyd?—”

“Answer me, Pooh. Who you been fuckin’ on?”

It wasn’t his intention to show this side of himself just yet. A primal instinct had taken place within him when it came to Paisley long ago. Since there was nothing he could do about it, he learned to tame it. Now that he and Paisley had gotten this far, he wasn’t sure he could continue to pretend it wasn’t there.

There had been many nights he lay awake in prison imagining what Paisley was doing or who she was with. The only thing that helped him stifle the rage at those thoughts was working out. He knew he couldn’t keep sending Paisley mixed signals, but his mind wasn’t on the rational wave at the moment. He needed answers, and Paisley was the only one who could give them to him.

His thumb slid past her clit, and Paisley’s back arched. “No-nobody. Not for a long time, Kyd. Please…”

Her words coupled with her pleas satisfied him for now, but eventually, he wanted to know all about the men she entertained over the years. He wanted to know everything they did wrong so he could make sure he did it right in the future.

“Tell me what you want.” His words came out in a grunt as he slid another finger inside her, enjoying how wet and warm she was. If he didn’t slide into her soon, he worried his dick would explode.
