Until Forever - You're Mine

I didn’t know how long we stood there, both of us barely breathing, but finally he leaned back an inch. I found myself breathing in deeply, not realizing I’d been holding my breath yet again.

He broke eye contact with me, looking at the ground, and I saw his jaw working, and I knew it was because of my silence. I was scaring him, and I hated that. But I couldn’t find the words in that moment. I was too shocked.

He looked at me again, and then he exhaled. “Please tell me,” he pleaded again. “Tell me that the girl I love is madly in love with me too.” He still held onto the side of my face.

I swallowed and licked my lips. “Max…” The words were thick in my throat, but then they came rolling off my tongue and into the air between us. “I love you too. So much.”

The stuttering breath he let out had my heart beating double-time.

He looked… relieved.

He moved closer and said in a low voice, “God, you know how many times I’ve thought about hearing you say those words? You know how many times I’ve fantasized about you telling me you’re in love with me too?” He looked down at my lips. “You’re the one I love, the only one, Abigail, since we met.”

When he looked back at my face, my heart jumped into my throat. “You’ve loved me since you were thirteen?”

He nodded slowly. “Since I saw you walk into that classroom, since I learned who you really were, what you loved and disliked, since I realized you were perfect for me.” He had both hands on my face now, cupping my cheeks as he stared in my eyes. “I’ve been in love with you for years but didn’t have the balls to say anything. But the very idea of ruining what we had, that you may not want to be my friend anymore because I’d crossed lines, had me keeping my distance.” He leaned in close again, so close I smelled the soap he’d used for his shower. I closed my eyes and just relished this moment. “There’s never been anyone else for me, Abigail. No one. Ever.” God, his voice was deep, so husky. It was filled with longing.

Is this really happening? Yes… yes, it is, and I’m not going to stop it.

My heart was in my throat at the things I heard Max say, at all the things I felt. He’d always looked out for me, and as I thought about what he said, how he always seemed to have his focus on me, I realized I’d been blind. I’d been blind, and clearly he had been too if he hadn’t noticed how I felt.

Right here, right now, with the way he looked at me, whatever was going on between us was… real.

He wanted me the way I wanted him, and all I wanted to do was be with him.

I felt him playing with the wisps of hair by my ear, and chills raced up my spine. Arousal licked over my body, and every part of me tingled for more, more of his touch… more of him. The tips of his fingers brushed the curve of my ear every so often, his fingers warm, slightly calloused from the manual labor he did.

He looked at my mouth again, and I felt him move his fingers along my jawline and then over my cheek. I parted my mouth as I sucked in a breath when I felt him trail those digits along my lips.

“You’re so soft. You smell so good.” He closed his eyes and moaned. “But there’s nothing that feels as good as knowing you love me too.” He opened his eyes and moved just a little closer so his body was now pressed against mine. I made this involuntary noise in the back of my throat when his muscles came in contact with my softness.

And I also felt… how hard he was for me. Down there, that thick length that had me instantly wet, my inner muscles clenching in need.

He was big, thick. He was so long.

“You feel that?” he whispered and pressed his dick against my belly a little more.

I nodded.

“It’s all because of you.” He leaned in just an inch. “I’ve never been with a girl before, never kissed anyone. I’ve only wanted you, and because of that, no one has ever stolen my heart. Only you, Abigail.” He was still looking at my mouth, still running his fingers along the swell of my bottom lip.

I couldn’t think, couldn’t even breathe after hearing him say those things.

“I want you so fucking badly,” he groaned, as if he hadn’t been able to not voice his needs. “All I want to do is show you with not only my words, but with my body as well, what you mean to me.” Max pressed his lower body harder against me, and I gasped as I grew wetter.
