You’re everything that’s missing in me
I need you beside me tonight and every night,
I want to wake up with your arms around me.
“You’re who I think of when I close my eyes,
It’s only you I see
You’re the light in my otherwise dark world,
It’s with you I want to be.
“I can’t imagine you not being in my life,
You’re everything that’s missing in me
I need you beside me tonight and every night,
I want to wake up with your arms around me.”
The crowd erupted into cheers as Rose stood up. Her cheeks were flushed red. I finally found my legs
and moved toward the stage, still in awe of what I’d just witnessed. Rose smiled at me. I put out my hand and helped her down the steps.
“What did you think?” she asked shyly.
“Wow. I’m just . . . that was amazing. You’re amazing,” I mumbled, pulling her into my arms. “Never in a million years did I expect anything like that.”
“I had to do something big to show you . . . so I could tell you . . .” Her voice trailed off. I knew exactly where she was going with it, but I decided to tease her anyway.
“Tell me what?” I asked innocently.
“That I do love you, and I want to be with you. You moron.” She blushed and glanced around. I took her hand and walked over to the bar.
“Darcy, do you think you guys are alright here? I’d like to take my girlfriend home.”
“Yes! I mean, of course,” she swooned. She shot Rose a look that I could only interpret as “OMG OMG OMG!”
“Are you ready?” I lifted my hand to run my fingers down the side of Rose’s face. Her beauty still amazed me. She nodded. “Then let’s go.”
Chapter Thirty
Rose
Upstairs with Jack, his arms were still around me as he led me into his apartment. His fingers laced through my hair as he kissed me. His lips moved hungrily, as if he couldn’t get enough of me. Gripping his hand in my hair, he tilted my head and began to kiss. His tongue slid down my neck, and over my collarbone before resting on my breast. My body came alive, crying out for his touch. God, the way he kissed me there…and the feel of his fingers there…
We made our way to his bedroom, albeit very slowly. Every few seconds he’d stop walking and start kissing me again, and I’d melt into his arms. We made it to the kitchen when he suddenly threw his arms around my waist and hoisted me onto the counter.
“You drive me crazy,” he muttered, his fingers running down my shirt, popping each button open in the process. I shrugged it off my shoulders and let him slide it down my arms. His arm extended behind my back, and with a single flick my bra was undone. He definitely had experience there.
“Let me play with your breasts,” he said, sliding the straps of the bra down until that too was off. “That’s better,” he smirked. He looked up at me as he placed his lips over my nipple and began to suck. My legs curled around his waist as I clutched onto his hair, pulling him closer to me.
“Oh my god…” I breathed. He pulled back slightly so I could witness his tongue circling around my now very erect nipple. This was so hot. Suddenly, I was in his arms. I squealed as he carried me into the bedroom, throwing me down on the bed. I laughed as he fell next to me and pulled me on top of him. “You’re crazy,” I giggled as he cupped my breasts.
“Crazy for you,” he smirked. I squealed as he rolled me over again, so I now lay on the bottom. With a mischievous look in his eyes, he worked his way down toward the end of the bed. I gasped as I felt his finger trace the outside of my panties. His hands enclosed around the waistband of my skirt, tugging it until it slipped off over my legs. I lay on his bed wearing only my light pink lace panties. He winked at me, then ran his tongue along the outside of my panties.
“Oh god, stop teasing me!” I gasped. One hand curled around the bar at the head of the bed, the other latched onto his hair. He chuckled. He slid my panties off and pushed my thighs further apart. I sighed as his tongue touched my wet pussy. God, he felt amazing. It took all my resolve not to bury his face between my legs. My hips bucked as he began to tease my clit, sucking gently, then harder, then gently.
