Absorbed(26)
I follow her gaze to the condom and grin. “Multi-talented.” She starts to respond, but I shake my head. “Bend over, Si.”
But she moves her head from side to side, too. The motion quickly changes to a shudder as I rub my thumb over her clit. “Please, I-I want to see you,” she pleads.
I stare down at her for a minute, watching as she grinds her teeth, and her hips, before I give her a nod. “Then come here.”
I wake up then in a cold sweat, but I know how it ends. I know how she felt, how she tasted. And how she told me over and over how much she loved me—me, a f*cked up man who had screwed her over.
And of course, as I drink a Sam Adams even though it’s 3 in the goddamn morning, I force myself to remember how the night ended—how I f*cked her once again.
So by the time I get into my Audi to drive to Nashville the next evening, I know that there’s a good chance it’s all over.
But I turn on a playlist my sister made for me with way too much f*cking Chevelle, and I remain hopeful.
