The Better Brother

Michael sighed and led me over to the couch. We sat down together, still clinging to each other’s hands.

“It was hard,” he said. “But also kind of nice. I don’t know. We’ve talked a few times since then, but I don’t know what our relationship is right now. It’s confusing.”

“I’m sorry I wasn’t there for you,” I said.

“I missed you,” Michael said.

Our eyes met, and I couldn’t stop myself from kissing him. The second his lips touched mine, I felt my entire body melt. I sighed and sank into him, letting him wrap his arms around my waist and pull me tightly against his chest.

The kiss was slow, gentle, and soft at first. He kissed me lightly, barely teasing my tongue with his. But soon, his grip on my waist tightened, and his lips grew more insistent against mine. I was breathing heavily, my cheeks flushed with desire.

Michael pulled away just long enough to look in my eyes.

“I love you,” he said. “I should have said that sooner, but I do. I love you, Julie.”

“I love you, too.”

I smiled, and Michael kissed me again. We fell backward on the couch, Michael pinning me down with his strong arms. He kissed me hard and fast, running his hands all over my body and making it impossible for me to think.

I never imagined I’d be with him again. We’d put each other through so much in such a short amount of time that I was sure we were done for good. Being back in his arms felt like a dream, something out of someone else’s life. It was all surreal, but I didn’t care. I gave in to my emotions and finally let myself fall.

CHAPTER 32

Michael

Julie’s body was pressed firmly against mine as I laid her back on the couch. Our kiss had turned from gentle to lustful and needy. I couldn’t pull myself away from her. All I wanted was to feel her naked skin against mine. I’d waited too long for this moment. We were barely apart for a week and, still, it was too long. Too much happened. Too much came between us. As I kissed her, I let my hands explore her body like I’d never felt anything like her before.

She moaned against my lips and wrapped her legs around my waist. I stroked her legs, wishing her jeans would vanish and leave nothing at all between us.

“I missed this so much,” Julie moaned while I moved my lips down to her neck. I kissed every inch of her skin I could reach. She tasted amazing and, soon, my dick was tryi

ng to break free from my pants.

“You have no idea how badly I want you right now,” I growled and nibbled her skin. She moaned and wrapped her legs even tighter around me.

She pulled me into her, lifting her hips up to press against me. I moaned and bit her neck again. My lips traced a line from her neck to her earlobe, making her shiver and arch her back with need.

Her hands raked at my back, desperately trying to claw through my shirt. I knew I wouldn’t last another second on that couch. I had to have her.

“Come here.” I lifted her off the couch, her legs still wrapped around my waist.

Our lips collided as I carried her through the house to my bedroom. When we reached the room, I kicked open the door and laid her gently on the bed. Looking down at her, my heart pounded hard in my chest.

“You’re perfect,” I said.

She grinned and sat up, slowly peeling her shirt over her head. I watched her, feeling my dick ache. She let her shirt fall to the floor and then reached around to unhook her bra. Her eyes never left my face.

I looked down her body, taking in the sight of her naked breasts and stomach. When she stood up to slide her jeans off her body, I came completely undone. I couldn’t take it anymore. Without thinking, I lunged forward and practically tackled her in my haste.

She fell backward on the bed, giggling while I searched frantically for her lips. We kissed while I reached down to shove her jeans farther down her legs. She kicked them off while I slid my hand inside her panties, fingering her folds with desperation.

“Oh shit,” I groaned as I felt just how wet she was for me.

“I want you,” she whispered in my ear. Her fingers were tangled in my hair, pulling at me while she lifted her hips. She pressed herself against my fingers. “I want you so badly.”

The sound of her voice sent me reeling. I kissed her lips, tasting her tongue for a split second before I pulled myself away.

I stripped out of my clothes before Julie could even move. Finally, my naked skin could breathe. I was flushed with desire. My cock was rock-hard as I hovered over Julie. She stared up at me, her pale blue eyes swimming with emotion.
