I hate that the few times I’ve seen her cry have been related to me. Gently, I swipe away the tear from her cheek.
“We make the choice to be together, Penny, and I’m all in. I’m not the man I was before that car accident. Every second in this life matters.” I kiss her wet cheek. “There’s no time for grudges or anger. My life has had a big chunk missing since we broke up. I’m sorry it took me so long to wrap my head around what you did, but I did. And now you’re here. We’re together. I’ll do better next time.”
“I will too,” she assures me. “Promise me you won’t give up on me, because I sure as hell will never give up on you.”
“I promise,” I say and mean it. Now that she’s in my arms again, everything feels right. Better than right. It feels perfect. “Goddam, I missed you, woman.”
Our mouths fuse together once more. This kiss is frantic, mixed with emotion, apologies, and heat. Tonight I’ll make her mine. It’s been a long time coming.
“Spend the night in my bed with me.” It’s less of a question and more of a plea.
Her lips curl into a sweet smile that’s so rare, all I can do is admire it with awe. “I plan to. And any other nights you’ll have me.”
“What if I want all of them?”
“They’re yours.”
“Penny…” My voice is hoarse as I run my palms up the outside of her arms to her neck and then to cradle her head. “The reason I was so pissed and hurt…” I draw her to me, resting her forehead to mine. “It’s because I love you. I fell for you the second you drew me into that bathroom and forced me to face what the accident had done to me. You made me laugh, baby. You dragged me out of my own personal hell. I felt attached to you then in ways I couldn’t understand, but now I do. It’s because I knew you were mine. I loved you and didn’t even understand what that meant.”
“You’re the most beautiful man I know, Smash. I needed you to see that.”
I kiss her soft lips. “You’re the sweetest girl I know, mean-ass.”
She lets out a surprised breath when I stand with her in my arms. Affection for this girl blossoms in my chest when she wraps her arms around my neck and holds on, nuzzling her face against mine. I quickly make sure the cabin is locked and set the alarm I recently had installed before hitting all the lights. Once inside my bedroom, I shut the door and set Penny to her feet in front of my bed.
I pull off my shirt, flinging it to the floor. Her blue eyes run an appreciative trail over my chest and abdominal muscles. I’ve been putting more time at the gym lately, thankful the place has a kid play center that Zella loves and has made friends at. Between my physical therapy and my workouts, I’m almost at my peak physical condition. I still have my headaches on occasion, though less in frequency, and I now require glasses, but my limp is nearly nonexistent.
“Like what you see?” I tease, flexing for her.
She huffs and dramatically rolls her eyes. “I’ve seen better.”
“Liar.”
A smirk teases her features. “Question is, have you seen better?” She pulls off her own shirt, showing off a simple black bra. There’s nothing simple about the way her tits are pushed up, begging to be tasted and adored.
“Fuck no. You’re undeniably the best thing I have ever seen. I think I’m just partial, though, because you’re mine.”
“Yours?” Her eyebrow quirks up, but I can tell by the softening of her features she likes the idea.
“Mine. Now take your bra off, Hoodlum, and show me my nipples that missed me.”
“Gross.”
I laugh. “Your nipples are not gross.”
“Your alpha maleness is.”
Stepping forward, I reach behind her to unfasten her bra. Her breath hitches. I tug it away and then rub my thumb over her nipple that’s hard as a small pebble. “Try telling your pretty titties that. Your nipples say otherwise.”
She gasps when I drop to a knee, making myself level with her breast. I suck one into my mouth, loving the way she moans when my tongue teases over the sensitive bud. After a quick nip that makes her whimper, I kiss my way over to her other tit, lavishing it with ravenous attention as well.
I kiss my way down her stomach and then begin unfastening her jeans. Once I have them undone, I drag them and her panties down her thighs, revealing her perfect cunt to me. Her blond hairs have been trimmed back, showing off her sexy pussy lips. I can’t wait to watch them change in color as I kiss and suck them raw.
She holds on to my shoulders as I help her out of her shoes, socks, and the rest of her clothes. As soon as she’s naked, I give her ass a smack.
“On the bed, baby,” I order. “I want your ass hanging off the edge so I can eat you alive.”
My feisty girl trembles with nerves. All it takes is a sweet kiss to her stomach to have her relaxing and obeying my command. As soon as she’s on her back, I grab her knees, spreading her thighs apart. Her cunt is slick with arousal. I cannot wait to dip my tongue inside her, tasting her sweet essence.
I rise to my feet to unfasten my jeans. Her stare is hot and eager as I remove my clothes. With my eyes locked on hers, I stroke my dick.
“I’m going to fuck you hard tonight,” I warn. “Your pussy will be sore for days.”
She shudders with desire, her blue eyes igniting with heat. “If I can’t walk, you have to wait on me hand and foot.”
I laugh at her words. “You want me to wreck your pussy so I can treat you like a queen?”
“I’m not a queen,” she says, her voice fierce.
Gripping her thighs, I dip down and drag my tongue along her slit. “Nah, baby, you’re a Hoodlum like me.”
Penny
He sucks my clit into his mouth and I see stars. So many stars. I can hardly believe this is real. Just today I was pining over him, missing him like hell. When he called, I was shocked. But when he brought me home and kissed me, I was relieved.
I missed him so much.
And though he was mad, he missed me too.
I hadn’t planned on telling him about what Jace and I did, but I knew when he asked about it, I couldn’t lie. Not again. Not ever again. I told him I wasn’t good at relationships and that I would mess up sometimes, but that wasn’t all true. With Terrence, I’m the best. He draws the real me out of my head and into his arms. I’m good at relationships when it comes to him. I can learn from my mistakes and do better. That means no more lies. I’d hurt him before and I won’t do that again.
Terrence pulls me from my thoughts as he devours me like a starved man and I’m the last meal on the planet. Not one part of my pelvic region goes untouched. His tongue is everywhere. On me. In me. Tasting places where no tongue belongs, but somehow feels good. I’m a whimpering mess, desperate to orgasm when he pushes a finger inside of me. I groan at the intrusion, trying to get used to the sensation. Just as it begins to glide more easily in and out of me, he slips another finger inside. This time, I gasp at the way his fingers seem to stretch me. They’re not in very deep. Just a shallow fingerfucking.
He sucks on my clit again, making me cry out. His fingers thrust in deeper and harder. It would be painful except he’s distracting me by teasing my clit, edging me closer to climax with each swipe of his urgent tongue. Another finger eases into me, stretching me to my limits. It burns and I want to beg for mercy, but the way he nips at my clit has me losing all sense of reality, confusing pain for pleasure. I spread my legs as far as they’ll go, wanting more of him. His fingers press deeper inside of me, making the burn so intense tears leak from my eyes. I don’t think I can take any more, but it now feels like my body has finally accepted him. He goes as deep as his hand will allow and it no longer feels like an intrusion.
