Shattered Edge(79)

“No!” she cried.

I leaned across her and kissed her.

“Oh yes, sweetheart. Just wait. I promise it’ll be so worth it.”

Now was the time, she was so aroused. I looked at her nipples and they were so erect. Her body was flushed, she was panting and her sex was swollen. I bent my head to her and ran my tongue along her once, twice and then I leaned back and used my hand. I placed the pad of my thumb on her most sensitive spot, put my fingers inside of her and began to move to a rhythm and she started screaming my name, climaxing...and climaxing. It was epic. Her thighs clamped around my hand and I had never seen anything like it. When her spasms finally passed, she was breathless and so was I from just witnessing this thing of beauty.

She was limp. I smiled because my mission was accomplished. Well, half of it anyway. I wanted her to leave here in the morning with her body and mind humming with sexual energy. I let her lay there for a few minutes, but not too long.

Then I pulled her up to a sitting position and finished removing her tank top. Her hands were on me like lightening. My face, my lips, my neck, my chest, my abs, my hips and then she stopped and just stared at me. She didn’t have to say a word. Her eyes spoke a thousand of them all at one time. My heart clenched as she stared at me.

The water dropped over the edges of her lids then, and I watched it tumble down the curves of her cheeks. It splashed onto her chest and I dipped my head to kiss it away.

“No more tears baby.”

Her hand reached down between us and she took my length into it as I groaned.

“I want to feel you inside of me Justin. I want you to make love to me. Now.”

I spun around and sat on the edge of the bed. I pulled her into my lap, letting her straddle me. She guided me into her opening and I held her face as she slowly took all of me inside of her.

“Ah honey, you’re so tight and wet.”

“I need to go slow Justin. I’m...um...I’m not used to this. It’s been so long.”

I groaned and said, “Oh baby, neither am I. I haven’t been with anyone since you.” Then I kissed her as she slowly moved up and down on me.

“Oh God, you’re so beautiful. I need to feel your arms around me baby.” She held me closely. And then I spoke the words out loud. “It’s all the same Caroline. You may have a different name and you may look a little different, but it’s all the same. The way you smell, they way you taste, the sounds you make, the way you feel inside, the way you move, the way you love me. It’s all the same. God I’ve missed you.” And I kissed her as we both came.

When it was over, we just sat together, locked in each other’s arms, unwilling to move. I was the one who broke first.

“I thought this might be difficult or even awkward, but it isn’t. Hmm, Caroline. I like the way it feels on my tongue. Of course, I’ve always loved the way you feel on my tongue. The new you is perfect. Just like the old was. I love you Caroline. I don’t want you to go. I know you can’t stay here, but here’s the thing. I don’t want to stay here either. This girl I knew named Terri died, and when she did, so did I. So I was putting into motion a plan to move out of Charleston. I was thinking about Seattle or somewhere out west...maybe Denver. My mind is open right now. I’ve talked to my family and they don’t like it, but they understand. I haven’t been myself for eighteen months. I won’t ever be again here. So what do you say? You up for a move?”

I’d always loved putting a smile on my girl’s face, but this one was the best.

“Are you serious?”

“Yeah. I’ll show you some stuff I’ve got just to prove how serious. I’ve even made some contacts about jobs. But first,” I stood up with her in my arms and me inside of her, “I want to take that shower now. You up for that?”

“I think I could go for a good scrub down. I have this one spot that may need some extra attention. I think I may have gotten it a little dirty today. You see, I have this boyfriend who did these awful things to me...”

I caught her lips with mine before she could finish.





CHAPTER THIRTY





Caroline



I was on I-40 headed west. Justin and I would rendezvous in Phoenix. We’d stay there for two weeks, because the thought of being away from each other for more than a month was killing us. Then he would head out to Salt Lake City and I would continue on to Los Angeles. He was going to spend a few weeks in SLC and then Seattle would be our final destination. I would get there first and start a job hunt.

I had found a place to live and he was going to be moving into the same condominium building. It looked like an awesome place...walking distance to everything. I would reserve judgment on how cool it really was until I lived there for a while.
