His frown disappeared when I crashed my lips against his, because why was he holding back and not kissing my face off like I wanted. Like I needed. I sank into our kiss, as his armstightened around me, and his mouth plundered mine, his hips rocking against mine.
Someone cleared their throat then, and we pulled apart, my face darkening red as I realised I hadn’t even noticed anyone else in the room.
It was Has-Been,andTorch. I remembered him from that awful night. He offered me a wide grin.
“Hey, love.” I smiled at Has-Been, and nodded at Torch.
“Sorry. I guess I was a bit excited.”
They exchanged a look that I couldn’t decipher.
“Probably time we go get a beer anyway, man.” Torch slapped his hand against Has-Been’s back, and headed for the door.
“Ice, you need us for anything, you know where to find us.”
“Pretty sure I know what to fucking do, but thanks.”
“Didn’t mean with your lady, although now that you mention it...” He flipped Torch off, and they all laughed as the room emptied, and the door closed. We were alone at last.
Forty-Four
Shewasback.Shewas really back, and in my fucking arms, and finally we were alone.
“Is it bad that I just want to fuck you right here on this desk?”
She let out a shuddery breath.
“God no.”
I walked her back to the desk, shoving the few objects from the surface onto the floor, a few pieces of paperwork, a burner phone, a half full coffee. Fuck it. Lissa giggled as I guided her to sit up on the desk, while I kicked the chair out of the way.
“Fucking hell. Two days away from you was forever. I love you, babe. I don’t ever want you so fucking far away. Pretty much feeling like going full caveman on you, and locking you in my room forever.”
She didn’t look worried. In fact, if anything, she looked even hornier at my words.
“I’m not going anywhere, Ice. I fell in love with you the first day we met, and I’m done fighting my conscience. From now on,the only fighting will be me fighting you, if I run and you catch me.”
A groan rumbled through me at her words, my dick hard as a fucking rock in my pants. I couldn’t wait to chase her like that again. Right now, I wanted inside her so badly that I was practically tearing my jeans undone, but as I freed my cock, and started helping her out of her clothes, I felt the familiar wave of panic washing over me.
What if I failed again? What if I couldn’t give her what she needed? Was any moment more important than this one right here? Our return to each other? If I fucked this up…
“Ice?”
I rested my forehead against hers, my hands no longer moving.
“Yeah, babe. I’m trying.”
She moved to press her lips against mine, letting me feel their sweetness for a moment.
“Stop trying, and just be. Just do. You know you can do this, and you can never, ever let me down, so please stop putting so much pressure on yourself.”
I squeezed my eyes tightly closed, as all kinds of fucking emotions ran through me.
“I know, babe. It’s just… it’s a big moment, and it needs to be right. I need to do it justice.”
She shook her head, her palms cupping my cheeks.
“That’s bullshit, Ice. All you need to do is me. And if it helps, I can struggle, and try to run from you. It’s kinda fun, isn’t it?” Her eyes sparkled at me, as her lips turned up at the corners.
