Page 12 of Riding with the Bad Boy
“The most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.” He looked directly into my heart. My chest burned with the same desire I always felt near him.
“Roc,” My breath was shaky as I placed my hand against his cheek. Fear crept over me as I took a moment to question just how deep my feelings were. How had I missed this?
He didn’t hesitate or hold back. One moment we were lying there facing each other, the next his mouth was on mine. His lips moved against me with a practiced skill of someone who knew exactly how I liked to be kissed. Soft and first, and then more demanding. His arm tightened around me and pulled me closer. His tongue ran over the seam of my mouth, and I opened to him. Desperate to be closer.
We rolled slightly so he was on his back and I was resting on top of him. His hands dug into my hair and held me steady. My leg went over his on instinct. Desire that I had been pushing away took over, and I was more than desperate to have him inside me. I needed his cock like I needed breath.
Within seconds, I was straddling him. My body was dripping with longing and need as I moved over the large, hard bulge that was waiting for me.
“That’s it, baby.” He kissed his way to my neck. “Fuck, I knew you couldn’t stay away.”
His words, while probably meant to be sexy, had the opposite effect. I lifted the top of my body away from him.
“What does that mean?”
“That you want me as much as I want you.” He tried to pull me back. “We’re too good together to stop.”
“Fucking, you mean?” I pushed myself off of him. “We’re to good to stop fucking?”
“Yeah.” He sat up with a shrug.
“What if there’s more?” I faced him.
“What are you talking about?”
“You want to know why I stopped whatever this is going on between us?” I stood waving my hands around in the air. “Because there has to be more than just fucking ever few days oronce a week. I look at Ginger, Hailey, Daphne, and even Sunny. They are all so happy. I see the way Elliot treats Sunny, and I want that. The way being with Daphne has changed Dermott. I want that.”
“I want someone who looks at me like he would burn down the world to protect me. That can’t stop the desire to have me from shining in his eyes. That drives me crazy and maybe we argue from time to time, but I know he isn’t going anywhere because he loves me too much to ever walk away.”
“Danni.”
“I know that isn’t what we agreed on.” I shook my head. “But things didn’t change, and I did. I wish I could say that I was sorry, but I can’t. I don’t know if that kind of love exists for me. It might not, but I want to give it a try. I want to see if I can find it. I might end up broken in the end, but it’s a risk I’m finally willing to take.”
I let out a long breath. “I walked away because it wasn’t fair to you or me to feel this way and keep doing what we were doing.” I waved my hand over the bed he was still sitting on. “You told me how you feel about love and relationships. I get it, but I want more.”
He didn’t say anything. Just continued to sit there staring in my direction. Finally, he stood. “I should go put out the slides.” As responses go, that hadn’t been what I expected, but it told me all I needed to know.
“Yes, you should.” He wasn’t ready for what I wanted.
He walked past me. For a moment, I thought he was going to stop. He looked as if he was going to stop, but he didn’t. he kept going, and I let him, knowing this was it. We were finally done.
