Grizz nodded. “So, you settled for Lafayette instead.”
“Yeah, took some advice from a few new friends. Followed the trail to Lafayette, but it didn’t pan out. So I’ve been kind of trapped there, ever since.”
“There are worse places.”
“Don’t get me wrong,” I quickly clarified. “I liked Lafayette. It’s okay for a college town. But being constantly broke wasn’t exactly doing me any favors.”
“We both got handed a raw deal,” Grizz finally noted. “I never should have left you behind.”
The atmosphere in the room thickened with the weight of something bigger than us. It felt like this small bedroom was the only place in the entire world, and that the outside simply didn’t exist.
“I’m sorry that I was so hard on you,” I whispered tenderly as I curled up harder against him.
He answered, “You didn’t know.”
“I know that. I tried to have faith…”
His finger lifted my chin, and he gazed down into my trembling gaze. Grizz’s thumb brushed near my eye, wiping a tear away.
“Don’t cry,” he whispered.
“I can’t help it.”
I tried to turn my gaze away, but Grizz held it fast, commanding that I stand my ground with him.
“All that matters is that I have you back,” he tried to comfort me. “I’ve walked this world a long goddamn time, and I’ve learned to know a miracle when I see one. You coming back into my life? That’s a miracle.”
“Think so?” I sniffed.
“Damn right.”
I tried to summon my confidence.
“Don’t ever leave me again,” I told him.
A smile crossed his lips. “You have my word.”
With our informal vows exchanged, he pulled me on top of his heavy chest. His body was warm against me, and his lips were so inviting.
I needed him.
And I knew that he needed me.
It took no effort at all to lift my face forward, pulling myself further up my body. I clutched close to the man I had loved, and he lifted his face.
Electricity surged between our lips as we kissed. It was a magnetic power beyond reason, something stronger than either of us.
It was a kiss born out of miracles.
We would have never crossed paths again, and I would have never known the truth. Grizz would have never found me again, if not for a chance meeting in a Louisiana college town in the dead of night…
Within a second’s passing, we were locked together by lips and embrace, and over a decade of crushing sexual tension finally melted away, like hot wax off of bare skin…
Kate
As Grizz’s tender lips crashed against mine, I remembered every last, aching night that I’d moaned his name.
“You taste so good,” he murmured.
“So do you.”
Grizz rolled me onto my back, letting the natural weight of his hard, rugged frame pin me down. I surrendered myself to his undying authority.
I had no choice but to submit.
Of course, I could say no at any moment, no matter what I’d said before. But even if I’d wanted to, there wasn’t an ounce of willpower left inside me to do it.
Honestly, I could only give myself completely to him – handing the rough, hardy man I’d once called my lover the reins to my very soul.
And I trusted him.
Oh God, did I trust him.
Grizz’s kisses were faster now, driven by an intense passion that commanded attention and respect. I met his lips with my own in a fury, our faces melding together with burning need.
His lips left mine, crashing now against my exposed throat. Involuntarily, I gasped with desire.
“Heh,” he chuckled into another kiss.
“Oh, shut up,” I tried to tease, only to relinquish control even more when his large, rough hand graced my breast.
“You don’t know how much I’ve missed these breasts.”
“They’re yours,” I moaned as he pinched the perky nipple, twisting lightly between his worn fingers.
“Probably look better on you,” he remarked, lowering his mouth down to suckle the pointed teat.
“Yeah, guess so,” I cooed as his hot breath bathed my breast, his lips sucking the nipple between his teeth. “But I gotta say, I’d pay damn good money to see you in a pair of decent tits.”
Grizz laughed, and I felt the thunderous boom down his torso as he lay against my mostly naked body.
Almost startled, I sadly realized that I couldn’t remember the last time I’d seen this man laugh, even when we were younger. He’d always been so serious…
“Can’t get that mental picture out of my head,” he chuckled, lifting his face to mine and planting a sweet kiss on my lips.
“Killing the mood a little?” I pouted.
“Nothing could kill this mood.”
To prove the point, Grizz drifted down my body, his fingernails digging along my skin. I coiled and twisted under the touch, and he dug in harder, while tugging at my panties with his teeth.
“Mmmf… that feels good…”
“Then this’ll feel better.”
My clit now exposed, his tongue brushed lovingly against the warm bead. I quivered with pleasure as he started to stroke it with the tip of his tongue, diving further down to tease my wet lips.
“Mmm,” I moaned for him, my breasts heaving with satisfaction. “You weren’t kidding about that…”
He whisked my panties down my thighs and off my ankles, tossing them aside. Now that I was completely naked and at his mercy, he pushed my knees aside and dove his face down between my warm thighs…
“Fuck!” I groaned, clenching my winding fingers down into his hair, grabbing large tufts and riding his rugged face.
My hips bucked against his lips, feeling how he carefully separated my folds with his mouth and burrowed his tongue inside.
Warmth consumed me.
It was hard to think about anything else as he expertly controlled my body, steering me straight towards intense pleasure with every few laps of his wet tongue.
It’s been far too long since I’ve had a lover that could handle me like this, I realized. He always knew how to work me into a frenzy…
“You feel so good,” I moaned, lifting a hand free to cover my gasping face as I blushed harder. “You could always work my body like a fiddle…”
“Fiddles sing,” Grizz murmured, lifting his face from my slick pussy for a moment. A devious smile crossed his face. “I wonder, then, if I can make you sing.”
Before I could understand what he meant, he hiked my thighs over his shoulders, clenching his fingers into the soft, flesh sides, and burrowed his face down into my wet folds.
“Oh Jesus,” I gasped, trailing off into a string of hard moans as my head sank back into the pillow
.
“That’s right, baby,” he groaned from between my thighs. “Do it just like that. Sing for me.”
Releasing my other hand from his hair as his tongue planted itself against my clit, I moaned again, harder this time.
His fingertips dug deeper into my thighs, and my lips quivered with moan after moan, my hands clenching into the bedding on either side.
Just in time, I realized what was next.
My hips began to shake against his face, my body trembling at his masterful touch, as the building pressure finally pushed me over the edge.
Letting loose a chorus of moans, I grabbed his tufts of hair again and rode his face through the best, mind-numbing, spine-tingling fucking orgasms I’d had in almost a goddamn decade.
After at least a good three or four, I finally dropped down to the bed again, letting loose my grip on him and panting with release.
“You enjoyed that,” he murmured.
“I don’t remember you being smug,” I gasped between breaths.
“Always room for a little arrogance.”
I exhaled deeply, releasing tension out of my chest as he rose from between my thighs. Grizz kicked off his jeans and ripped his shirt free, tossing the rest of his clothes into a forgotten heap on the floor.
His cock was as huge as ever, springing free from its prison with a bounce. It was hard to imagine that thing fitting inside me, although I’d fucked him more than a few times in days long gone.
“I swear you’re bigger.”
“Maybe I am.”
Grizz brushed my knees apart with his hands, shuffling forward to kneel between them – his hard body towering above me.
“It’s been a long time since we’ve done this,” I said nervously.
“It has. Want to back down?”
“From a challenge? With you?” I shakily answered. “Never.”
“Not a convincing answer.” His hand brushed against a knee, fingertips trailing up the shin. His large palm rested on my kneecap, fingers draped down the leg.
“Do it,” I spurred him on.
“Do what?”
I leaned forward. “Fuck me.”
“Still not convincing.” Although his face was stoic in the semi-darkness, his tone left the obvious challenge in the air.
I wrapped one hand around his thick, throbbing cock. Grizz instantly stiffened his body, and I gave it a few good strokes before I reached down to caress his heavy balls.
