I walk past him toward the door. I open it, waiting on him to get the clue that I don’t want him here. He walks toward me, but instead of going out the door, he closes it while my hand is still on the knob. He moves closer to me until my back is pressed against the door. He lowers his head until I can feel his lips touch my ear.
“I’m not going anywhere until you hear what I have to say, Tamia.”
“I couldn’t care less about what you have to say.”
“Damn it, Tamia!” He slaps his palm against the door. “Baby, please just listen to what I have to say. After you do, and if you still want me to leave, I will.”
“Okay,” I whisper.
He steps away, giving me some space. I walk around him until I’m standing in the middle of the room, looking at him and waiting to hear what he has to say.
He glares at me, contemplating where to begin, and I can see nothing but hurt and love in his eyes. He is hurting also, and that is one of the reasons why I wanted to avoid this conversation because I knew he wasn’t giving up on us. All I want to do is run from the situation because I don’t want to keep hurting. It’s already hard enough that I still love him. We stand there for several minutes, not saying a word, just looking intensely at each other.
“I didn’t tell my parents about Ashley,” I admit, breaking the silence. The look of confusion on his face encourages me to continue. “I told them that I was being really careless that night. That I left your apartment late, feeling exhausted, and that was the reason why I ran the stop sign that caused the accident.”
“Tamia.”
“I just couldn’t tell them, Kellen.” I feel a tear slide down my cheek. “I just couldn’t do it. I mean, my dad just had that heart attack, and I didn’t want to put him through that stress.” The tears are now flowing steadily.
Kellen moves to stand before me. He hesitantly grabs my face with both of his hands “Tamia, I’m sorry.”
“I am, too. It’s probably best that we say goodbye now. With Ashley being pregnant, she’s going to need you.”
“Tamia, don’t do this. You’ve got to listen to me.” He pulls me closer. “If Ashley is, in fact, pregnant, there’s also a possibility it could be someone else’s.”
“What?” I ask, not sure if I heard him correctly.
“The night you showed up at my apartment, Ashley had a set of keys that she never returned. She showed up unannounced and told me she was pregnant and that it’s a possibility that the dad could also be a guy she cheated on me with. She failed to share that info with you, but by the time I tried to explain, you were already out the door.”
Shocked, I gently remove Kellen’s hands from my face and take a seat on the bed. Kellen kneels in front of me and grabs my hands and continues. “Tamia, I’m still trying to wrap my head around possibly being a father. I promise to you that Ashley and I were always careful and used condoms. I understand that condoms break, but please believe that I’ve never had unprotected sex with anyone, except you. I know when we did, it wasn’t the smartest decision we made, but you’re the only one.”
“I believe you.”
Kellen wraps his arms around my waist, bringing my body closer to his.
“If Ashley is pregnant, and if it’s mine, I’m going to take responsibility and take care of my child, and I want you by my side. Ashley being pregnant doesn’t change the way I feel about you, Tamia. I know a lot is going on, and it seems like the universe doesn’t want us together. I’m asking you, for what I hope is the last time is to please not give up on us. I need you.”
“I need you, too.”
Kellen leans forward and tenderly kisses my lips.
“How does your head feel?”
“Sore, but I’m fine.” I bring his head toward me until our lips touch again. I suck his bottom lip into my mouth, then do the same to his top. I kiss him slowly, allowing my tongue to explore every inch of his mouth. I’m so addicted to his taste. He moans into my mouth, and I kiss him harder.
There’s a knock at the door: “Room service!”
We stop kissing, and I remove my sundress. I lean back and scoot further up onto the bed until my head hits the pillow. Lifting my hips off the bed, I remove my panties. I toss them on the floor and wait for Kellen to make the next move. His eyes hungrily sweep over my body. Licking his lips, he removes his shirt and tosses it to the floor.
“Room service!”
We continue to ignore the poor guy on the other side of the door who is only doing his job, but right now, food is the last thing on our minds.
Kellen removes the rest of his clothes and strokes his already hard erection as he looks as if he’s ready to devour me. He climbs onto the bed, gently spreads my legs, and begins placing kisses to my inner thighs, working his way down between my legs.
I open them wider, anticipating the first lick. He lowers his head and flicks his tongue over my clit then sucks it into his mouth. Heaven. He separates my lower lips with his fingers, exposing my slick center, then begins tasting every inch of me.
“Kellen,” I whimper. I can feel his tongue exploring my insides, and I don’t want him to stop.
He places a kiss on my lower lips then makes his way up my body and settles himself between my legs. Leaning forward, he runs his tongue across my lips, asking for permission to enter. I open my mouth, allowing him entry, and I can taste myself.
“Tamia, do you love me?” he asks, slowly sliding his dick inside of me.
“Yes,” I whisper.
Grabbing both of my hands, he interlocks them with his and places them above my head. Looking down into my eyes, he begins to move deeper inside of me.
He lowers his head and kisses the bruise on my forehead.
“Am I hurting you?” he asks.
I shake my head no, then he captures my lips into a deep and loving kiss.
Without breaking our kiss, Kellen rolls to his back, placing me on top. I place my hands to his chest and begin grinding and rolling my hips against him.
“Fuck, Tamia, just like that!”
Placing his hands on my hips, he guides my movements while circling his hips beneath me, creating deeper penetration.
“Aaah!” I shout.
Flipping us over again, I land on my back, and Kellen continues making love to me.
“You’re not leaving me tomorrow,” he grunts, pumping inside of me. “If you need to rest, you can stay with me, and I’ll take care of you. Just don’t go.”
“I—”
“You what, Tamia?” I’m rendered speechless as he thrusts deeper inside of me. “I know what I want, and it’s you. Just let me love you, Tamia. Will you let me do that?”
Unable to speak, I just nod my head. I slowly close my eyes and enjoy the delicious pleasure that Kellen is serving my body.
“Open your eyes, Tamia.”
I obey and look deeply into his blue eyes.
“Can you feel how much I love you?”
“Kellen,” I moan. He continues to give me all kinds of pleasure that no one else has ever given to me. He repositions the lower half of my body, bringing one of my legs to rest on his shoulder. Rotating his hips, he begins to drill into me.
A scream escapes my lips as uncontrolled tears stream down the side of my face.
