This Time Around(27)

I clear my throat. “I’m going to have a shower. Be in my bed, naked,” I say, tilting my head to take in his expression to my demand. His eyes are heavy lidded, and his lip curls up at the side. When he starts to undo his top button, I quickly head into the shower. Stripping down, I jump in without even testing the water, then squeal at its coldness.

“Are you okay?” comes a deep voice from outside the door.

“I’m fine!” I call out, adjusting the temperature. I grab my pink razor and quickly shave my legs, then put my apple scented body wash all over my body. I’m not going to lie. I’m a little nervous. I know Ryan’s been with a lot of other women since we were last together, and as for me, I haven’t been with anyone. Ryan is still the only man I’ve ever slept with, therefore I haven’t had sex in a long-ass time. I will probably orgasm from him just looking at me. I groan, washing all the soap off my body. I quickly brush my teeth then turn the water off, grabbing my towel and wrapping it around myself. I stare at my reflection in the mirror, taking in my flushed cheeks, wild curly hair and towel-clad body.

It’s time to take my man back.





Chapter Fourteen

Ryan

I sit on her bed, waiting for her. I don’t think I’ve ever anticipated something this much. Okay, maybe back when we were sixteen and lost our virginity, but this sure as hell is a close second. I peel my shirt off and throw it onto the chair in the corner of her room. When she doesn’t come out after five minutes after the water turns off, I walk to the bathroom and open the door without knocking. She’s standing in front of the mirror, obviously over thinking things, like she usually does. She turns to look at me and gives me a nervous smile.

“I’ve already seen you completely naked, countless times, and now you’re acting shy?” I ask her, unable to stop myself from chuckling. She spins around and narrows her eyes, suddenly letting the towel drop. There’s my fiery Taiya. I don’t want her thinking about anything other than us and our future. No more looking back, living in the past. As far as I’m concerned, none of those other women ever mattered or counted. I grab her hand and pull her into her bedroom, stopping for kisses along the way. Her breasts press up against my bare chest and I groan, loving the feel of her. There’s nothing I want more than to shove her up against the wall and fuck her until we’re both sated, but this is a new beginning for us, and I want to savour her. I grip her ass and squeeze, pulling her into me, as close together as physically possible.

“I love you,” I tell her. I need her to know, to believe it.

“I love you, too,” she says, before returning her lips to mine. She pulls away, dropping to her knees, and the sight of her is almost my undoing. She unbuckles my belt with haste, and pulls my pants and boxers down. Reaching her hand into my pants, she stokes my hardness, and my knees almost crumble. Nothing has ever felt better than her hands on me. Her delicate fingers circle the tip, before stroking my length over and over, until I’m unable to take anymore. I step back and pull my pants and boxers completely off, so we are both completely bare. I spin her around and push her down onto the bed, planning on tasting every inch of her amazing body.

“I need you inside me, Ryan,” she rasps, her voice low and husky. I lean over her and kiss her greedily, while my fingers caress her intimately. She is dripping wet, and I’m hard as a fucking rock.

“Ryan!” she growls, when I trail my mouth down her neck. I bite down gently, and she lifts her hips, riding my fingers. I toy with her clit, which leaves her gasping for air. Before she comes, I pull my fingers out, and slide my cock into her. She mouths my name, and I curse. She feels so fucking good; it’s like coming home. I pay attention to her breasts, licking and sucking, just how she used to like it. It only takes a few minutes for her to climax, her back arching off the bed and her fingers digging into my back. I watch her face, her expression. I don’t know what it is about her; I just know that she was made for me. No other woman could ever replace Taiya Rose Knox, she owns me body and soul. I thrust into her quicker now, sliding right out before pushing myself in, balls deep. Taiya makes the sexiest little sounds, encouraging me to take more from her. She’s always been a greedy little thing, and I wouldn’t take her any other way. She lifts her hips up, moving in time with me. She captures my moan with her mouth as I release, my eyes closing as I feel nothing but pleasure coursing through my body.

“I missed you so much,” I tell her, staring into those wide green eyes of hers.

She sighs, “I missed you more.”
