Not after everything.
The skeletons in my closet would have to wait for another time, but I had a strong feeling, sooner or later, it would all blow up in my face.
My heart. The true reason why I was here. It would all be out at some point, but tonight wouldn’t be the night. Instead, I caressed my fingers along the back of his neck until I could no longer bear the feeling of not having him inside me.
I needed him.
And from peering up into the possessive gaze above me, I knew he needed me just as bad.

MAL
Icould get used to having Doe in my bed. Especially having her beneath me like this, panting and clawing at my exposed skin as if she thought her torment would rush me into giving her what she wanted.
Fuck, was she wrong.
This wasn’t a race, and as eager as I was to finally sink myself inside her, I knew I had to take my time. I wanted to worship her body entirely because there was no one else in the world who deserved it more than her.
A quick orgasm wouldn’t give her that. She needed her mouth raw from kissing, her whole body shaking from the subtle graze of my tongue along every curve of her body, and her wetness to pool between her legs and onto my sheets.
Only then will she be properly worshiped and ready for me.
My mouth then dipped down to her collarbone and my fingers latched onto the bottom of her shirt. I wanted her bare for me, but her palm quickly landed on my hand, causing me to pause.
I peered up into nervous eyes that had me tensing.
“What’s wrong?” I asked as I released the fabric of her shirt and cupped her cheek in my palm. I hated the apprehension and worry that was currently swimming in her gaze.
Had I pushed her too far?
“I… I’m just insecure about having my shirt off,” she whispered and dropped her stare from mine.
My heart broke for my beautiful girl who thought she was anything less than fucking perfect. Though I hated that she felt that way, I understood and I’d be an asshole to push her right now.
It might take time for her to trust me fully, but I already knew that if I had to wait forever, I would.
“If you don’t feel comfortable having it off, then that’s okay, Doe. You don’t need to worry about what I might think or say because nothing could make me not want you.”
Her eyes sparkled in warmth and affection.
“When I said you’re mine, I meant it.” I dropped a kiss onto her nose before pulling away.
No longer did she look anxious or concerned, but instead she appeared to be back in her lust-filled state.
“If I’m yours, you better prove it to me then.” She wrapped her legs around my waist and lightly tugged me down onto her.
The tip of my cock grazed her still wet pussy and I almost said fuck being patient. Even the desperate look she threw at me made me think that she felt the same.
“I’ll prove it every day if I need to,” I said through gritted teeth. “After practice.” I took ahold of her thigh and lifted it to the side. “After a game.” I brushed my dick along her smooth, glistening lips. “Whenever I want you, I’ll have you.”
“Yes.” She gasped and with the subtle thrust of her hips, she made contact with my dick again. “Whenever you want, Mal. Now please, fuck me already.”
Christ.
My chest swelled with the undeniable need to take her. Damn the consequences, I wanted her squeezing my dick like a vise grip. I wanted my name to fall past her lips as I drove inside her and, most of all, I wanted that connection with her.
She wasn’t like those other women I had once fooled around with. Looking back, they were nothing more than a way to forget about the woman who haunted my every waking thought.
