you as much as I wanted to fuck you. We were on the same page last night and it read like the sweetest story ever told."
True, but I didn't like him pointing out the fact that I'd been shamelessly eager to be fucked. "Or so you imagine, Thomas," I said.
"Oh. So I imagined your pleasure and how hard you came on my cock?"
I blushed. Bastard. Pushing his hand away from my butt, I slipped out of bed.
He reached out to slap my ass again.
"Hey! Watch it!"
"Where are you going, sweet cheeks?" he asked, sliding a finger down my back to rest in my ass crease before slipping into my pussy.
I trembled. The wonder of enjoying such a sweet intimacy with him was still so new, that every touch and caress thrilled. "To the bathroom," I said, pushing his hand away.
After a moment's hesitation when I wildly looked around for my clothes to slip over my naked body, I turned and walked across the room.
"Nice big ass you've got there, girl," he said.
Smiling, I swung my hips from side to side. "Glad you like it, boy."
"Oh, girl, I do. I like it a lot."
I turned to look at him. "Careful," I warned. "You don't want to risk saying too much."
"Why don't I?"
I shrugged. "I might decide to fall for you again."
"Really?" He allowed his gaze to slide slowly over my naked body.
I resisted the instinctive urge to cover myself with my hands. Yes, I was thick with a belly that had never been flat, but he'd left me in no doubt that he had enjoyed touching, kissing, nipping, and licking every single inch of my thick body.
I nodded. "So I suggest you watch what you say and choose your words carefully."
"You think having you fall for me again would bother me?"
"It always did in the past."
"So you say."
"So I know."
He looked at my pussy briefly before meeting my gaze again and shrugging. "Let me guess. If I tell you differently you wouldn't believe me."
"I know what I know."
"Maybe so, but you don't know half of what you think you do."
I lifted my chin.
He sighed. "In any case, it would be familiar territory for us both. I'm sure I could handle it again."
Remembering the anguish of loving him and knowing when I did see him again, he'd look through me as if I weren't even there, my temper rose. "Well, I couldn't, you vain bastard," I said and looked around for something to toss at him.
He shook his head and rolled onto his stomach. "Careful, girl, you don't want to damage the family jewels do you?"
"No," I admitted, softening as I thought of the blissful night we'd shared.
He rolled onto his back and met my gaze. "That didn't come out quite as I planned. I don't want you to think I was unmindful or uncaring of your…of how uncomfortable things were for you before you met Don."
Just when I thought he was a worthless bastard with nothing to recommend him but his sexual prowess, he said something like that. Careful, Sher. Careful. You cannot fall in love with him again.
"We should probably talk and clear the air between us before we're intimate again," he said softly after studying my expression.
God only knew what he'd seen in my gaze. I lowered my lids.
"We need to talk," he said again.
What was there to talk about? He'd just admitted that I'd suffered needlessly for years. I shook my head. "Not necessary. I told you, I'm so over you."
"Really?"
"Yes, Darkwater, really."
He sighed. "You're back to Darkwater. We're regressing instead of moving forward this morning."
"Whatever."
"Whatever? If that's how you feel, what was last night about?"
"Last night was strictly about sex." Granted it was great, wonderful, please-my-pussy-like-no-other-cock-ever-has-or-ever-will sex. But still just sex.
"And nothing else?"
"Nothing else." I moistened my lips and lifted my chin. "If you think any differently, you're deluding yourself."
"Damn, Sherlyn. You've made your point."
"Good because you'd be foolish to think I have any romantic interest in you anymore. Whatever juvenile desires I felt for you, ended when I fell in love with Don.
