Page 37 of A Gift of Time
He told me more about his day, and I told him about mine.
Conversation flowed easy. Natural. The detachment he’d had over the weekend was absent from him as he talked and occasionally giggled at something stupid I said. I found myself forgetting about the wish I’d made because it felt too much like old times, when things had been amazing between us.
At least until I opened my damn mouth.
“So, what happened with your ex?” I asked, after we’d sat at the table and had eaten most of our food.
He stilled and focused on his glass of white wine. I was about to apologize, when he puffed out a breath of air and snatched the glass, taking a big drink. Afterward, he shifted his gaze to me.
“Other than dumping me, he broke my heart,” he answered in a sneering tone, one that didn’t fit his sweet, bubbly personality. “I trusted him and put everything into our relationship. Went out of my way to make him happy… and he fucked some girl in our bed. So, there’s that.”
“Fuck.”
“Tell me about it.” He gave me aduhexpression before draining the rest of his wine. “Before I could end things with him,hedumpedmeand said things weren’t working out.”
Without him needing to ask, I grabbed the bottle and refilled his glass. “Sounds to me like you’re better off without that prick.”
Caden regarded me. “It’s just a curse of mine, I think. I fall in love too easily and end up getting hurt because of it. My love life is comical at best.”
“What about your sex life?” I asked.
He answered with a laugh. “What sex life? Blake and I had sex occasionally, but since the breakup, I hadn’t even thought of it.” Blue eyes moved to me, and the amount of lust reflecting through them caused my dick to swell. “Until recently anyway.”
Before I could convince myself how bad of an idea it was, I stood and reached him in just two steps. Before I made a move, he flew out of his chair and crushed his mouth to mine, meeting me in a mind-blowing kiss.
I stumbled back a bit by the force of him, but after regaining my balance, I devoured his lips. Tangling one hand in his hair, I used the other to hold his lower back. He tasted sweet from the wine, and I pushed my tongue in his mouth, swirling it against his.
Caden moaned and wrapped his arms around my waist, tugging me closer.
My body was on fire and I knew the only way to quench the flames was by sinking into him—tasting every inch of him.
He gripped my ass and pulled me with him as he walked backward, out of the kitchen and into the living room. Our lips moved in sync as we went, and when he bumped into the side table, nearly knocking over the brand new lamp, we chuckled against each other.
It was clumsy but fucking incredible.
Once he was by the couch, I broke our lip lock just long enough to push him back on the cushions. He gave me a lopsided grin before I climbed on top of him, rejoining our lips in a toe-curling kiss.
With each thrusting of my tongue, I felt him becoming more eager, and his dick hardened, poking into me. I groaned as he grinded his body up into mine and moved from my mouth to nip my jaw.
It was the first time I’d felt whole since I woke up in this crazy reality.
He glided his hand up the back of my shirt before pulling it over my head.
I smirked and grabbed the hem of his, resting back a little as I smoothed my hands up his stomach and to his chest, taking the shirt with me and watching his face as I did.
He was biting his damn lip again, and it only made me harder.
Moving down his body, I placed kisses on his warm skin, peering up at him as I sunk lower. He watched me with a creased brow and dug his fingers into my hair, gently pushing me to where he wanted me to go.
After discarding his pants, I gripped his dick and ever so slowly glided it between my lips.
“Oh my god,” he said as his hands threaded in my hair.
Giving him what I knew he wanted, I cupped his balls as I continued sucking him off, going from languorous licks to quick flicks of my tongue in his slit. He tasted incredible, especially when a bead of pre-cum hit my taste buds.
“Dammit, Cay, you’re amazing,” I murmured before licking from his tip to his base.
My dick pressed against my jeans, a damn uncomfortable feeling, so I shucked off my pants and palmed my length as I continued sucking Caden.
