Just like that.
Simple, easy…and raw.
“I love you,” I say, feeling that burning raw intent inside of me.
Well, shit, no wonder my intent is raw—this is the fucking truth I’m spouting.
“I’ve always loved you, Kat. Ever since I was a kid…but then I thought you were going to get married, and I simply had to go. I couldn’t stay around for that. But I think of you everyday. Not a second goes by that I—”
“Hush,” she whispers, a soft smile on her lips as she places her index finger over my lips.
With that, she leans into me and presses her strawberry lips on mine.
“I think you’ve said it all.”

Katherine
Grabbing him by the hand, I drag him out of the bar.
I feel as if I’m walking on clouds, my feet lighter than I’ve ever felt them. I can’t believe that, after all these years, Alex made his way back to me.
Is this a fairy-tale I’m living in?
I’ve always loved you, his words come back at me, and I can’t help but smile.
Stopping right before the elevator, I turn to look at him and place both my hands on his chest.
“You’ve always been an idiot, Alex,” I purr, my index finger gently going down from his chest to his stomach.
“Is that so?”
“That’s so,” I nod. “Twelve years you’ve been gone, and all that because of your dumb imagination. We were friends for so long, and I was…I was always waiting for you to do something about it. About us.
“But you never did. When Phillip proposed to me, I said no, and we broke up on the spot…all because I couldn’t stop thinking about you.”
“But then I was gone,” he says, his voice tainted with regret.
“You were gone,” I agree, and I allow my index finger to go further down, over his belt and straight to his crotch. Flattening the palm of my hand there, I feel my heart tightening as something long and hard grows against my fingers.
“Let’s not waste a second more, then,” he whispers, leaning in and brushing his lips against my ear.
At the same moment, the elevator doors swing open, and we almost tumble inside it, his large hands now sitting on my hips.
“Where are we going?” he asks me, his eyes brimming with hunger and desire.
“Nowhere,” I merely say, and punch the Hold button on the elevator, forcing him to stop its climb up the Bradford.
“I like the sound of that,” he whispers again, pushing me back against the close
d doors.
I gasp as I feel my back against it, and I throw my head back as his hands slide down the side of my body. Gently, his fingertips go around my waist and down the curve of my ass, and he pulls me to him.
I feel his hard cock pulsing against my inner thigh. Reacting on pure instinct, I reach for it and grab it hard.
“You can’t believe how many times I’ve thought of this,” I confess, my eyes still closed as he leans in and starts kissing my neck, his teeth grazing my skin softly.
