I cup her face. “You shouldn’t be jealous.”
She lifts her head and leans it against my chest. “This is moving too fast, Davis. I think we should slow it down.”
Pain shoots through my chest. “What? Why?”
Her voice is muffled, but I can make out what she’s saying. “I wanted to vomit when Zach was talking about you going to get strange, but the more I thought about it, the more I understood. At least for you. You haven’t been with a woman in a while, and now that you have, maybe you want to see what’s out there.”
My voice is gruff. “The only woman I want is lying in my arms right now. I didn’t hook up with any woman—hell I didn’t even look at a woman while I was out. All the guys came, and they drank a little—”
She puts her hand to my chest. “I think we should hold off on telling Zach and Alexis about us. I’m being irresponsible, and I need to think about Alexis.”
“Abby.” I only say her name, but there’s so much more I want to say.
I feel her body tremble as she takes a deep breath and lets it out.
When she doesn’t say anything, I lean down to her ear. “Abby, you loved me yesterday. Are you telling me that you don’t today?”
She pulls back to look at me with a gasp. “No, God no. Davis, I’m giving you an out. I understand that you’ve been through hell, and I’m giving you an opportunity to—”
“You,” I tell her almost angrily. How the hell does she not know her worth? “You are what I want, Abby. Yes, I’ve been through hell, but you are my heaven.”
Her hand grabs on to my shirt. “Davis,” she says with feeling.
“If you want time, I’ll give you time, but I’m going to prove to you that I’m the man you need.”
She scoots closer to me, burrowing her body into mine. “You’re the man I need, Davis. The man I want.”
We lie here until our breaths are matched in patterns. Whether she realizes it or not, her hand stroking across my chest invigorates me, making me wish I could have her right now. “I was jealous, Davis,” she admits.
I kiss her forehead, her cheek, and then finally, I reach her lips. When we pull apart, I already know it’s not enough. “You have no reason to be jealous. You’re the only woman I want.”
Her fingers dig into my waist, and her hips move toward mine. I know what she needs. “We can’t make love, Abby. Not with your brother in the other room.”
She practically whimpers. “I’ll be quiet.”
I smile at the desperation in her voice. “You need it, don’t you, baby?”
She nods against my chest.
I push her to her back and lean over her. I let my hand trail down her belly and press there. “You need me to make you come?”
She trembles so hard it’s like a fast convulsion. “Yes,” she moans softly as she lifts her hips.
I let my hand slide under the band of her shorts. She sucks in a breath and lets it out with small pants. I stroke my fingers back and forth along her lower belly, and her breath hitches. When I finally make it to her honeyed core, she’s already so wet she coats my finger. I circle her clit, and she throws her head back with a moan.
I cover her mouth with mine, swallowing her sounds of lust. I apply pressure to her swollen clit, and her hips pump into my hand. Our kiss is ravenous and all-consuming. She’s so close, and when the orgasm hits her, she grabs my wrist and starts to whimper in my mouth. I release her mouth but stay close, and our breaths are mingled together. Her body is pulled taut, and her pussy pulsates, hips jerking uncontrollably.
When she starts to come down, her voice is filled with emotion. “Fuck.”
I smile at her. “I think that’s the first time I’ve heard you cuss.”
She smiles and shakes her head. “What are you doing to me, Davis? You make me feel things I didn’t even know I was capable of.”
I lean my head against hers. My cock is hard, pressing against the zipper of my jeans. My heart is pounding in my chest, and all my senses are heightened. “You’re mine, Abby. I said it once, and I’ll say it again. You’re my heaven… and when you’re ready, everyone is going to know it.”
She smiles and rests her head against my chest. We lie here for the longest time. I keep telling myself just a few more minutes, but around three a.m., I know I need to get out of here. I definitely don’t want Zach finding me in her bed.
I slip from her hold, kiss her softly, and then make my way outside. In the cool of the early morning, a sadness comes over me. What I want more than anything is right inside, and I’d give anything to be able to sleep with her in my arms and be able to wake up next to her. Soon… soon, she’s going to be mine completely.
