Gemini

After a few minutes, his eyes moved from mine and seemed to roll back in ecstasy, almost like he was possessed. “I’m gonna lose it…you feel too fucking good. I can’t hold out anymore…I want to come inside you,” he said.

Hearing him say that made me crazy and brought my orgasm to surface fast. I started to scream as the intense pleasure overcame me. Cedric’s loud moan followed and I felt his hot release as he pulsated inside me.

He turned us over in one movement, so that he was on top of me kissing my face softly, professing his love again with each kiss.

We had sex several times throughout the night after moving from the couch to the bed, then in the shower and even against the kitchen counter when we were supposedly going to have a midnight snack. Cedric was insatiable and I was a more than willing participant.

CHAPTER 39

CEDRIC

Waking up in Allison’s bed was surreal and I had slept like a baby for the first time in months. Despite the fact that we had sex at least six times last night, I couldn’t wait to wake her up again. She looked so peaceful, though, so I decided to just stare at her.

It’s no wonder she was out like a light. We had spent the entire evening alternating between having sex and drowsy pillow talk.

Allison had told me more about her time in Chicago with Ed and Elaine. The role Amanda’s parents played in convincing Allison to give me another

chance really touched me. I also opened up to her about the years I spent in Chicago after Amanda’s death, something I hadn’t really talked about with her before. She was less than impressed to hear how I started my career as the lover of my much older boss. But I vowed to tell her everything about me…no more secrets.

The moment last night when she told me that she wasn’t alone anymore because of me, had given me the first sense of real peace and closure since Amanda died. I would never fully forgive myself for the past, but somehow having a positive impact on Allison’s life made me feel like I had reversed some of the damage.

It was 11:00 am now and I was itching to wake her up. When she moved and turned herself around, I moved in behind and spooned with her. I was hard as a rock when she leaned into me and said, “Mmmm.”

Kissing the back of her neck softly, I said “You know you’re going to have to kick me out of here, right? Because I’m never leaving on my own.”

“Well, then I guess you’re staying a while, because I want to make up for lost time.”

“We lost so much time, Allison. Never again, okay?”

She turned herself to me and kissed my nose softly. “Never again.”

If being apart from her had felt like my heart was ripped out, at this moment it was safely returned to its rightful spot.

Allison had the day off since she wouldn’t be returning to the diner job until tomorrow and she was still waiting to hear back about being reassigned to her cases at Bright Horizons. So, I called into the agency sick. There was no way I was going to leave her to go to work today when I had just gotten her back.

After we made love two more times in bed, Allison said, “I need to take a shower.”

“Can I come with you?” I asked.

She smirked. “Haven’t you done enough of that?”

She started to get up when I pulled her toward me and started tickling her. “Let me rephrase that…can I shower with you?”

Allison broke free from my grip and walked to the bathroom, showing off her beautiful naked ass. “Follow me.”

Apparently, we were completely incapable of keeping our hands off each of each other. I washed every inch of her body with my mouth and she returned the favor with a happy ending.

It was almost noon and the sun was blazing through the bedroom window.

Allison was in the bathroom blow-drying her hair and I got dressed into my jeans and back into Caleb’s sweatshirt from yesterday.

I was looking up places to get brunch nearby on my phone, when Allison’s phone chimed indicating that she had received a text, so I instinctively grabbed it.

My heart dropped as I checked the message.

I can’t wait to spend time with you. When are you coming back?

Who was Jake and what the fuck was this? A tremendous cloud of jealousy washed over me instantly and before I could overreact, Allison emerged from the bathroom.
