Darden's Pursuit of Happiness: Darden and Willow by LiSoya Gilltin Read Free Book Online

cradling his semi-engorged sex. Darden pulled his mouth away slowly and glanced at her before giving his full attention to Sean.
    “Why don’t you go to the bathroom so you can get yourself together?” Willow was dazed and reeling from the hot as lightning kiss, she couldn’t speak because her lips were still tingling, and she could only nod her head. Willow excused herself to go into to the bathroom on wobbly legs to get her head on straight.
    I Need A Girl (Part 1) by Diddy was playing now.  Well these lyrics were somewhat apropos. He did need a girl and her name was Willow.  Darden had had just about enough, now it was time to stake claim to his woman. .“Sean, I don’t know why you can’t take the hint. But, I will be more than happy to spell it out for you. She belongs with me and only me.  As you can plainly see, we aren’t j ust friends. I intend to marry her.  I want forever and always, you on the other hand don’t want anything honorable.”
    “She invited me here.” Sean couldn’t believe Darden had just kissed her like that and she said and did nothing. Well besides seeming to melt under the onslaught of the kiss. It was obvious that there was more going on than he realized and quite possibly more than Willow realized. A blind man could see that he had kissed her senseless.
    “I am sure she did but, only because she is mad at me. She is using you to get back at me. Why else would she have invited you here? Whether she admits it or not we’re in love and always have been. So why don’t you just leave now before any further embarrassment occurs for you.”
    “I am not going anywhere until I hear it from her.”
    Darden gave a small chuckle. “Are you having trouble believing your own eyes? Then let me give you something more to think about. You know and have seen for yourself that I have kissed her.  And knowing Willow the way I do, she wouldn’t allow me to kiss her if you were somehow in the picture. You’re not even a thought right now.  She had no problem kissing me in front of you. She wasn’t even the least bit apologetic. So again, why are you still standing here?” Darden stood looking very confident.
    Sean turned on his heel and slammed the door.  It was obvious to Darden that Sean wants more but how much more he doesn’t know.  It was also obvious that Sean might not talk to Willow anymore since he put that little tidbit of information in his ear.
    Willow came out of the bathroom her eyes darting around the apartment. “Where is Sean?”
    “He left.” Darden had what looked like humor, satisfaction and mischief all rolled into one showing in his eyes.
    “He left? Why would he leave?  I invited him here. What did you say to him?” She was still reeling from the kiss. But, at this point her main concern was for Sean. Lord only knows what Darden would have said.
    “Nothing, I am willing to bet he saw the kiss and came to his own conclusions.”
    “Why did you kiss me like that? You gave him the wrong impression.”
    “No, I didn’t. I gave him the right impression. I want a relationship, a long term relationship.  I want you. I don’t know how to be any clearer. Besides you didn’t fight the kiss and you participated in it fully.  Sean had to have seen that as well. Maybe you need to start listening to you heart and stop listening to your brain.” Darden moved to the stove and turned it off.  Then he moved to the door and locked it. After a quick glance around, he walked back to where Willow was still standing. He reached for both of her hands and brought them up to his lips and kissed each of them while he looked deep into her eyes.  “I want forever with you but, I need you to give us a chance. We have a beautiful chemistry together. We always have.  We used to be able to complete each other sentences. I would be willing to bet our hearts beat exactly the same.” He placed her hand over his heart and her other hand over hers. He watched her eyes widen in the
