I let out a sound that was somewhere between a laugh and a sob. “So you forgive me?”
“You leaving me again?” he asked on a low rumble.
“Never,” I promised.
“Then I think it’s time we had three years’ worth of make-up sex,” he growled.
My stomach flipped, and my panties were drenched in an instant.
I almost pounced on him right there and then.
His hand at my hip squeezed, his expression serious. “But, baby, I’m not markin’ you like that anymore.” His hand brushed along the skin of my neck.
Shame washed over me at what I’d forced him to do.
“I don’t want you to feel any guilt over that,” he said firmly. “No shame. No regret. I’m grateful for that thin thread that kept us together, but that’s done. We’re past that. You’re past that. You don’t need to hurt to feel good anymore.”
Tears prickled the backs of my eyes. But now was not the time for them.
As Karson said, we had years of make-up sex to have.
“How are you going to make me feel good then?” I asked in a low voice.
His eyes darkened, and I was over his shoulder in the next heartbeat.
I let out a squeal of delight as his palm came down on my ass.
Then we went inside to have three years’ worth of make-up sex.
A fucking lifetime’s worth.
I wasn’t sure of the time when I finally woke up.
I knew that I must have slept for at least twelve hours. The sun was just rising as we made it to sleep last night, and it was low in the sky now.
Karson was not in bed. I gratefully gulped down the water left by the bed.
Sounds of pots echoed from the kitchen.
I smiled.
Of course, he was cooking for me.
Once I used the facilities, I walked in the direction of the closet, intending to put on one of Karson’s shirts to cover my nakedness. My entire body was delightfully sore. My soul was the lightest it had felt in a century.
On the way, I snatched up my phone, firing off a quick text to the group.
Karson and I are officially back together. We are madly in love, and I plan on spending forever with him.
Off to eat and have a boatload of sex.
Kisses.
I grinned as I saw the three dots appear almost the second I hit send.
Stella: Ohmygod! Ohmygod!!!!
Stella: I just screamed out loud!
