She gave me a weak shrug. “People like us aren’t m-meant to b-be together.”
“Don’t say that,” I told her, the words falling from my lips quickly. “Don’t. I want you to be mine again, Daisy. I know I made a huge mistake. And I’ll say sorry for that for the rest of my life. But you are more than enough. You aren’t in high school. It’s different now. I know I might have made you feel like you were back there the other day, but I need you to know that you areperfect, Daisy. You’re the only girl that I want. And I’ll spend the rest of my life fighting for you and making sure you know that you are enough. You don’t have to change. What you are right now?Whoyou are right now? That’s the best thing in the world. You are my perfect, gorgeous, smart girl. There is no one else I would pick over you. Ever.”
I could see tears in her eyes suddenly. God, I couldn’t do anything fucking right. She wiped at her eyes, avoiding my gaze. I hated it when she did that.
“I’m sorry,” I whispered. “I didn’t… I didn’t mean to upset you. I’m sorry. I keep fucking up.”
“You didn’t say anything wrong,” she said softly. “N-Not tonight, at least.”
“I hate seeing you cry so much.”
“And I’m sick of crying. I’m sick of people hurting m-me. It’stiring. All I do is exist in this world, and apparently that’s enough to m-make people hate m-me.” Her eyes shut and she shook her head. “I don’t know what to do to m-make sure I fit in and n-never get hurt again.”
My hands shook a little as I rested them on Daisy’s cheeks. I prayed with everything in me that she didn’t push my hands off. She didn’t. Instead she opened up her eyes as she looked at me. “You don’t have to change a thing about you.”
“I’m scared you’ll hurt m-me again,” she said with wet eyes. “I’m so scared you’ll say something like Asher said. You justlaughed. It hurt so m-much when you did that, Evan. It hurt m-more than anything A-Asher has ever done to m-me.”
I sucked in a sharp breath. Jesus Christ, I was the biggest fuck up on the planet. Maybe I wasn’t the nice guy I thought I was, because while I had never been some bully asshole like Asher, I still hurt the girl I loved. If Daisy had a list of people that she hated and I was right at the top, I had earned my place.
“I don’t know what else to do, Daisy,” I sighed, still holding her face. “I’m sorry. I’m just… I’ll say sorry for the rest of my life. I messed up so bad. I messed up in the worst way possible and I’m gonna spend the rest of my life regretting what I did. When I found out… God, when Murph showed me that photo.” My eyes closed and I saw a lifeless Daisy right there in my head, clear as day, like I was the one who had found her. “It was like getting hit by a truck. I wished so badly that I could have helped you. I would have. I know I messed up, and I’m stupid, but I would have helped you, Daisy. I would have been on your side. I just wanna be yours again. I miss being yours and I miss you being mine. I had the best girl and I ruined it. Please let me spend the rest of my life making sure you know how perfect you are. Please, please, please. I’m so sorry for what I did. I ambeggingyou for another chance. I’ll get on my knees and beg you if that’s what’ll do it. I’m just sorry. My whole body hurts without you, Daisy. Not just my heart. I’ve never felt like this. Not ever. I love you. I love you, I love you, I love you and I’m just… I’m sorry. I’m so fucking sorry.”
She was kissing me a second later and it was like a fucking dream. I moaned, my hands on either side of her face as I kissed her back hard and fast, so desperate to feel her. All of her. My tongue slipped into her mouth and she let out the sweetest whine. It had been so long since I heard that noise and it felt like my whole body ached, like I had just been hit out on the ice, like I had had fallen and would never get back up.
My hands stayed on her waist, pulling her right up against me. All I wanted was her close to me.Forever. Forever and a day and then a hundred more years on top of that and a couple more for good measure. Even that wasn’t enough.
“Evan,” she whimpered against my lips. “You… You have to promise m-me you’ll never hurt m-me again. You have to promise and m-mean it this time.”
My hands squeezed at her waist. “I promise. I promise right here, right now. I’m never gonna hurt you again. I can’t go another day without you. I can’t do it. I know how much my heart aches when you’re not next to me. Hurting you was the biggest mistake of my life. I’m never doing that again. Never.”
Daisy’s lips were back up against mine and I groaned as her hands dragged through my hair. I could hear her little whines and the sound of the waves behind us. I focused on every last thing. Because it was a moment I never wanted to forget. Daisy was back in my arms and I wanted to remember the feeling forever; it was the best feeling in the fucking world. She was my home.
I wanted to be her home too.
“Baby, fuck. I missed you. I missed this. I can’t go another fucking day without you. Please,” I told her when I pulled away from her mouth, my voice all gravelly. “Please be my girl again. Please, please, please. I need you back.”
Daisy nodded, her cheeks bright pink. “I… I wanna b-be yours, Evan. I want all of you.”
“All of me, baby? Right here?”
“Please. Yes. All of you. Right here. Right n-now. All of you.”
“And I want all of you, sweetheart. Every perfect part.” Our lips connected again. I pulled Daisy off the car, holding her tight before I got her settled on the ground. There were some rushed steps to the car, but I got the back door open, my lips still on Daisy’s. I had to pull away from her with a hiss – but only so I could get into the backseat, pulling Daisy in with me.
There she sat on my lap. I kissed her, my hands in her dark locks, needing to feel her close for the rest of my life. I eagerly pulled her top off, making quick work with her bra. There were those gorgeous tits, right in front of me.
My lips wrapped around one of her hard nipples, my hands moving down to her ass. Since she was wearing a skirt it gave me a good chance to hike it up so that I could grab at her ass. That perfect, round ass. My fingers kneaded at her plump cheeks as I moved to the next nipple, sucking and sucking. She kept whimpering for me, the noise making my cock harden by the second.
Staring up at her, I pushed two fingers into her mouth and she sucked at them with a little whine. My cock twitched at the sight. When I pulled my fingers out they were drenched with spit, and I pushed her panties aside with a groan.
“I missed your perfect pussy so much.” I pressed my wet fingers to her clit, watching as she threw her head back, her chest heaving as I began to rub at her. “Such a pretty, little pussy.”
Daisy just whimpered and the sound made me play with her clit that little bit faster. My eyes were stuck on her, watching as her cheeks went all pink and her eyes fluttered shut. My lips were back around her nipples, and I switched to rubbing at her with my thumb thanks to the awkward angle. Nothing was gonna stop me from making my girl feel good. She wasn’t my ex-girl anymore and thank fucking God for that.
I rubbed and rubbed, getting lost in the beautiful noises Daisy kept letting out. Whines, whimpers, moans. I was in love. My thumb stayed right up against her clit, circling at it as I switched to the other nipple. My cock was throbbing and I so badly needed to get it out, to give myself some relief, but Daisy came first.
“Fuck, baby,” I muttered against her tits. “Cum for me. Please cum for me. Want you to cum for me so bad.”
“Evan, please,” she whined.
