As if we shared the same mind, he slid off the lace straps and yanked it down so it gathered at my waist, exposing my breasts for him to see.
“Fuck, baby.” He growled, eyeing me with hunger, lowering me onto the bed as he sucked on my nipple.
His teeth grazed my sensitive flesh as he slid a featherlight hand down my middle and slipped two fingers inside of me.
I raised my hips in response, moaning as he pulsed in and out of me. The rawness of last night filled me with painful bliss as he licked his fingers and slapped my outer thigh.
“You’re gon’ be the death of me, sweetheart.”
“Better me than you.” I retorted.
The blaring sound of my ringtone interrupted the moment as Adam’s name repeated an incoming call.
I looked to Hunter who had already gotten off the bed, nudging me to answer.
Poor freaking timing, Adam. Jesus.After letting it ring another three seconds, I cleared my throat and announced a hello.
“Marley, hey. Are you on the road yet?” He asked, classical music sifting through the line.
My attention turned to Hunter as I wrapped the sheets around me once more and blushed. “Um, no, I’m… I’m not.”
“It’s a day’s worth of driving, Mar. You planning to be here by the fourth of July?”
Fuck, fuck, fuck. God, I wish I had more time to choose. Yesterday it was so easy for me. I had everything ready and packed and waiting to go but now… Hunter came and changed everything.
If I left today, without ever knowing what potential lingered between us, then I’d forever regret what could’ve been. But if I didn’t leave, I’d be missing out on the opportunity to watch my niece grow up, to get my job back in Manhattan.
“You’re not coming, are you?” My brother let out, calmer than I’d expected.
“What? Why would you say that?”
“Because you’re the most impulsive person I know, Marley.” He laughed. “If it takes you longer than three seconds to make a decision, I know it’s not happening.”
My head hung low as I rubbed my forehead. “Adam…somethingcame up.”
When Adam and I were apart in college, we’d call each other every night to catch up. It was in those few years that we’d developed an act for sensing each other’s demeanours over the phone. And in this very moment, I knew he wasn’t upset with me.
“Something always does. How about we come visit sometime? The doctor said we should wait at least three months before flying, but we can try and make it for your birthday in August?”
My eyes began to water in appreciation.WHY DO I ALWAYS CRY IN EVERY SITUATION POSSIBLE?
“Are you serious, Adam? You’d come out here?”
Michelle’s voice poked through the call. “Hi Marley, how are you?”
Wow. You underestimate how much you miss the people you never see, until you hear their voice and speak to them again. “Michelle! Congratulations on your baby, I’m over the moon for you.”
“Thank you so much, she came out absolutely perfect. Four kilograms and just… yes, absolute perfection.” She chuckled.
My heart exploded out of my chest. “Can you send some more pictures over the next few weeks?”
“Of course! And I hear Adam wants to visit for your birthday? I’m sure we can manage. It’s been a long time and I’ve never been to Aurora before.”
A vociferous shrill interrupted the conversation, the sound of my baby niece.
Adam cursed. “Marley, we got to go. But I’ll Facetime you tonight okay? I love you a lot.”
This time, I managed to say it back before he ended the call and I sprung onto Hunter, wrapping my arms around his neck.
