His eyes snap to mine and then to his phone that’s still in my hands. I sit back on my knees and he sits up as well. His hand reaches under my chin and lifts it to meet his gaze. “I’m not. I mean, that’s nothing. It’s not serious.”

I nod. “I know, I just…I’m trying not to be jealous.”

“There is no one for you to be jealous of. No one knows me the way you do. No one is in here but you.” He puts a hand over his chest. “No one can have this now but you.” He grabs his dick and surprisingly that’s what I needed to hear more than the sweet romantic part.

I know he doesn’t love this Mila girl. I know he doesn’t feel anything deep for her. I’m pretty sure James has never been in love. But I know he’s been in lust. I know he’s had girlfriends and fuck buddies and one night stands. I know his heart is mine, but I needed to know his dick is mine too.

“She asked to come over.”

He runs a hand through his chestnut hair that’s messy from sleep. “Baby…don’t get yourself worked up over this.”

“It would be so easy for you to be with her. No sneaking around. No lying. No hiding.”

“You’re right,” he tells me and my heart hurts at his words even if they are the truth. “But it’s too late for all of that. I want you, Gabrielle. I need you. I love you. Sex has never meant as much to me as it does with you. I’ve fucked, sure. But I’ve never made love to anyone.” He cocks his head to the side and his blue eyes bore into mine. “Until you.” I nod, suddenly feeling super foolish. I hadn’t imagined everything that had transpired last night. James loves me but he does have a past. A past I’m somewhat privy to.

“There have been women, but none of them meant anything. Case in point, I’ve actually blown off women, Mila included, when you’ve needed me. When you’ve wanted to come over. When I needed to go pick you up from somewhere. You’ve always been the priority. The most important person in my world. Hell, the center of it.”

I let out a shaky breath and swallow hard because his words aren’t doing anything but making me wet. He smiles as if he can hear my thoughts. “Is your pussy wet now?”

I nod.

“If I fuck you now, you can’t take an hour in the bathroom getting ready.”

“I promise I won’t!” I giggle as I push him onto his back and slide down his cock.
