“Yes...” I don’t need any more invitation than that.
I lift her by the waist, and she immediately wraps her legs and arms around me as I keep kissing her against the wall. I can’t do this here, I won’t have our first time against a wall, after everything that’s happened between us she needs to be treated like the goddess that she is.
“Acacia?” I mumble against her lips as I try to break away from her. She stops and looks at me worried like I’m going to walk away again. No, not this time… not ever again. I place my finger against her lips to stop her from answering.
“Let me take you to your bed, I want to worship you if you’ll let me, baby?” She nods in response as I capture her lips again.
Entering her bedroom, I lay her down on her back and strip her of her tank and shorts as my eyes caress every inch of her body - her collarbone, her ample breasts, her tiny waist, all the way down her slender legs. I unbutton my jeans and let them drop to the floor. Pressing my knees against the edge of the bed, running my hands up her thighs, I lean down and kiss her belly.
Her breath hitches as a gasp leaves her mouth. I kiss all the way up her body until I reach her breasts, taking them in each hand, my mouth finds her nipple as I swirl my tongue around the peaked tip. I kiss further up her neck and finish up back at her mouth. Capturing her plump lips, I kiss and suck until my tongue finds hers.
“I’m gonna make you feel so good, baby. I promise you’ll forget everything else but this moment. Just let me love you...”
With a slight nod of her head and a breathy ‘yes’, I kiss her again with everything I have.
“Condom, in the first drawer,” she breaths out.
Reaching for the condom, I take down my boxers as my rigid cock springs from its restraints. Rolling on the condom into place, hesitantly, I hover over her, careful to hold my weight on one forearm. I brush my fingers on her body like I try to memorize her every curve till I reach between her legs. She is already wet and soft as I push my finger into her. Her slick heat makes me groan as I gently add another finger, causing her to tremble under me.
“Ohhhh, Ashton!” Acacia gasps into my shoulder as I pull out my fingers so I can align myself with her entrance.
I take her mouth again as I thrust into her gently, slowly. She gasps again into my mouth and surrenders her sweet lips to me as I make love to her tongue just like her body. I cup her cheek into my hand and look deep into her eyes, her soul, her innocent but worldly eyes add a little more love to my once broken heart and begin to make it whole again.
I take her thigh in my hand and open her up to me, thrusting in and out in a soothing rhythm, her smooth, gentle lips find my neck and peppers kisses down to the dip in my neck.
“Harder, Ashton,” she whispers, driving me crazy with her breathy sex voice as much as her nibbles Losing all my control, I thrust harder, quicker all the while as I keep looking into her eyes. Her nails bite into my shoulder as her eyes roll back with pleasure and her body shudders with the intensity of her orgasm. I savour every moment as she comes undone around me, shouting my name. Only two more thrusts later I join her into the ecstasy.
This is heaven!
Collapsing on top of Acacia, I place my forehead against hers and kiss her lips before getting up and fetching a warm, wet cloth to clean her up with. I look into the mirror and genuinely smile for the first time after months.
No regret, no confusion… for the first time ever, everything is in crystal clarity for me. I walk back towards Acacia, my goddess, lying in the crisp white sheets, eyes closed, and biting down on her lip. Sitting on the edge of the bed I stroke her hair. “Hey, what’s wrong?” I ask her tenderly. She shakes her head cautiously.
“Open your beautiful eyes for me, baby.”
She slowly opens her lids as I bend down and kiss her forehead, her nose, her cheeks and last of all her lips. She looks at me, the emotions are shining in her eyes like she is waiting for me to reject her again. I did that. I put the doubt there, so I’ll fix it.
“Acacia, you are it for me now. You’re mine, baby and I’m not letting go of you again.”
A tear runs from the corner of her eye and into her hair. I clean her up, drop the cloth and climb in beside her to pull her into my arms. She places her head on my chest, then I hear the vibration of her voice against me.
“Promise?” she says timidly.
Tipping her chin up I touch my lips against hers and whisper, “Promise.”
I kiss her till I feel her smiling against my lips. She kisses me back without any timidity and places her head back on my chest with a relieved sigh before drifting off into a deep, contented sleep.
CHAPTER NINETEEN
ACACIA
I wake up, but don’t open my eyes yet; I take pleasure in the happiness I feel. My heart is bubbling with excitement, and I can’t keep the smile off my face. Finally, I open my eyes and turn to look for him beside me. My smile freezes when I see the empty spot beside me, the confusion and fear show their ugly faces beneath my happiness, but I push them aside. Getting out of the bed I walk toward my kitchen, hoping to see him here. He isn’t.
No… he wouldn’t do that.
Swallowing my nerves, I try to put a smile on my face and call out his name with a fake chirpy tone, “Ashton?”
I wait for the reply, I know it will come soon, but it doesn’t. I’m pathetic as I look in every room in my small apartment, but I can’t stop myself. I refuse to believe he’s left me… he will come back, he has to - he promised me.
