Our pants fill the room, so loud that I know if someone were to walk by the door right now, they’d know exactly what we’re doing.
I reach between us, rubbing circles over my clit, so close to release. By the change in his breathing, I know he’s there too.
His lips trace along my ear.
“You say it would have been better if I had loved you.”
His voice is hoarse, almost harsh, and he doesn’t quit moving inside me.
I don’t say anything, because I know he’s not expecting an answer.
“Well I have news for you, Denver.”
Another thrust. Another groan.
“I never fucking stopped.”
My whole world falls apart around me.

Denver:DOWNLOAD ATTACHMENT
Denver:I made it!
Denver:Is it just me or is the east coast ridiculously humid? I feel like I’m trying to breathe under water.

Denver:Hey, you good? I texted yesterday and didn’t get a response.
Denver:Allie and I went shopping for things for the apartment today. She bought half of Target.
Denver:Shep?
Denver:Well, just text me back whenever you have a chance. I’m sure you’re swamped.

Denver:I’m starting to worry. I haven’t heard from you in days.
Denver:Is everything okay?
Denver:I tried calling. I know that’s not something we do, but I had to try anyway.
Denver:Just please let me know you’re okay.

Denver:Okay, so this is my last text. If you’re not answering, there’s nothing I can do about that. Allie and I will be at the party Friday night. I’ll see ya if I see ya. Good night, Shep.
