Itake a moment to collect myself after the phone call.While Darrell talks privately to Totten out in the hallway, I glance down at my phone.I need to make sure Delly is okay.
Me
Do you need me?
Delly
No.Spend time with your man.I’m sorry I lost my cool.
Me
It’s understandable.He hurt you.
Delly
No, he didn’t.
She deflects, but I know he did.She really liked him, and he stood her up.She’s never felt that pain or embarrassment before.
“Want to tell me what’s going on with Hades and Delphi?”Darrell says as he walks back into the room.
He moves to the bar and looks at the selection before pouring himself a finger of alcohol.
“Not really.That’s between them.”
He throws back the shot and strides toward me.My panties instantly combust from the look in his eyes.The blue is so dark as he looks me up and down, taking in my outfit.
“Good.I don’t want to discuss them either.”
When he’s standing directly in front of me, he holds out a hand, and I don’t even think twice about it.He’s everything I’ve ever wanted in a man.Now that I know he wasn’t the one sending me those letters, I can completely give myself to him.
“I’m sorry,” I say, my voice breathy.
He grips my hip with one hand and places the other around the back of my neck, his thumb pushing my chin up until I meet his gaze.
“From now on, come to me if you have questions.We need to keep open lines of communication.I’m going to fuck up.I’m not perfect, and I need you to tell me without you running off.”
“Okay,” I say breathlessly as the air escapes my lungs.
I stand there, entranced by his eyes as his head slowly descends.I lick my lips, and his pupils flare before he takes my mouth in a soft kiss.I close my eyes, waiting for more.Darrell has never been this gentle with his kisses.I want him to lose control.
I reach up and wrap my arms around his neck, pulling his head back down.He groans before he takes my lips in that dominant way he does.I open, and his tongue dances with mine, sliding along it before he retracts and then comes back at me again.
I moan and turn my head as his fingers flex along my body.His grip on my hip tightens, and his fingers at my neck dig in slightly, giving me a bite of pain.
The hand at my hip slides to my butt, and he lifts me up.As soon as I wrap my legs around his waist, we’re in motion.He pulls his lips away for only a moment to make sure we’re heading for the bedroom.Then he’s back at my mouth, giving me everything and taking from me too.I willingly give him whatever he wants of me.I’d give him my soul and heart in this moment.
He pulls his head away again, and his eyes trace over my face in a caress.The hand at my neck moves to the side of my face.
“Get undressed, or I’ll rip the clothes from your body.I can’t be delicate with you.I’ve needed you for so long, then you tried to leave me.”
“Yes, Dare.”
I slide down his body, feeling his thick cock through his slacks.I pull my thin sweater off, then unbutton my jeans and slide them down my legs.He takes them from my hands and tosses them behind us.I’m standing in front of him in my pink floral bra and matching thong.
“Fuck, baby.You get more beautiful every time I see you.”
