Page 91 of When Love Takes Over
He released my neck, and I sat down. He sat next to me, barely leaving me any room to breathe.
“Ronin asked me to meet him for drinks at a place we frequent. I haven’t seen him since we got married, so I left work at about five to meet him. We had a few drinks, caught up, and left. When we got to the parking lot, Callie?—”
“Are you fucking kidding me?”
“I’m not done, Malyah.”
“I don’t care. You think?—”
His hand went back to my neck, and his lips found mine again. Another kiss that should’ve ended with me biting his tongue hard enough to draw blood, but my body betrayed me. He pulled away and warned me with his eyes.
Slowly, he released my neck and let his hand travel down my chest, stopping at my breasts. I tensed because he noticed my hardened nipples underneath the thin, cropped T-shirt I wore. He looked in my eyes and smirked as his thumb circled my nipple.
“You like it when I get rough with you, Lyah?”
I refused to let him know how turned on I was.
“You told me not to talk,” I said, pushing his hand away from me.
His smirk became more pronounced before he continued, but he kept his hands to himself . . . for now, anyway.
“When we got to the parking lot, Callie was leaning against my driver’s side door. She talked a lot of shit and refused to move. I won’t lie, I got a little more aggressive with her thanI wanted, but it was the only way to let her know I wasn’t playing with her ass. I grabbed her, and she jumped on me, trying to kiss me and shit. I literally had to throw her ass to the ground. Nothing else happened between us. I swear on my grandmother’s grave.”
“If that’s what really happened, why didn’t you tell me right away?”
“I know my past with Callie makes you question if I’m done with her, and I didn’t want you to think more into it.”
“Why should I believe you?”
He moved to the floor and kneeled between my legs, taking my hands in his, and kissing the backs of each. My pussy had soaked through the panties I wore, and I didn’t doubt that he was inhaling my pheromones.
“You should believe me because I love you.”
I heard him, but it took a moment for me to digest those three very important words.
“You . . . you love me?”
“I do, baby. I started falling in love with you the first time I looked into your eyes. I didn’t know your name or your story, but something in your eyes spoke to my heart. Seeing you smile, making you laugh, and lightening your load has given me so much joy, baby. I’m sorry I didn’t tell you right away, but I promise I didn’t cheat on you. I’ll give you the five hundred grand, but don’t leave me.”
The tears rollingdown her cheeks gave me hope because they told me she wasn’t ready to dismiss me. Things between us had been great, especially for two people who didn’t know each other before getting married. I took advantage of the moments when she let her guard down because, without fail, when she noticed she’d let me in a little too much, back up it went.
I didn’t mind being patient because our situation wasn’t the norm. She had every right to be cautious until her spirit led her to let her guard down. I’d probably think less of her and be questioning her character if she’d been easy to win over, but then again, I probably wouldn’t have been led to propose in the first place.
“Kenzo, the feelings I have for you aren’t like any I’ve felt for anyone else. At first, I didn’t want to label it because it was so foreign, but the way my heart broke just now when I thought you cheated told me more than I’d been willing to admit. I . . . um . . . I love you too.”
“You don’t know how good it makes me feel to know the feeling is mutual, baby. I thought my confession might scare you away because we’re supposed to be keeping our feelings out of this.”
“That’s been a complete fail.”
We shared a laugh before I asked, “So, where do we go from here?”
“We don’t have to go anywhere. You can choke me while eating my pussy right here on this couch.”
I raised my brow, slightly surprised by her response. Her pussy had been wet since I snatched her ass from the guest room, because her sweet aroma had been tickling my nose.
“You like it when I choke you, baby?”
She nodded as she eased out of her panties. I helped her get them off her legs and noticed the soaked crotch. I put them to my nose and inhaled, then put the crotch in my mouth.
