“Krista, will you talk to me?”
It took a minute, but finally, she rolled over and sat up in bed. Without the light on, I couldn’t see her face, but I could feel the sadness rolling off her in waves.
“It’s not going to work, is it?”
“Maybe not,” I murmured, taking her hand in mine. “Maybe it was never supposed to.”
“How can that be? We get along so well. We enjoy each other’s company. The sex is phenomenal.”
I chuckled at that last part.
“Are we really going to let where we live divide us?”
“I just can’t see how it’ll work. I need something more than servicing people’s internet. I need a job that will keep me excited and focused. How do I go from a job I love to working out here with something less than that?”
I didn’t want to put my job first, but I needed to be happy in life, and frankly, I just couldn’t see that happening out here.
“Maybe… maybe I could go out there with you for a while. You know, just to see what it’s like.”
“You would do that?” I asked, a little shocked that she was even willing to try.
“I want this to work, and if I don’t go there, I’ll never know.”
That was all I needed to hear. I crushed my lips to hers, crawling over her as I pressed her into the bed. I hissed as her fingers slid through my hair, then pulled tight. Pain coursed through my scalp, but the smirk on her face only made me want her more.
“My little hellion,” I whispered, nipping at her earlobe.
My hand snaked under her shirt to her bra, shoving the cups up to reach those perky nipples that I loved so damn much. Every time she gripped my hair, I twisted and gave back just a little of the pain.
“Rob…” she moaned, her legs spreading wide. “Fuck me.”
“I’m getting there.”
“Not fast enough.”
I flicked the button on her jeans, yanking them down her legs. Fuck, to see her spread like that for me was something I wanted to see every fucking night for the rest of my life.
Delving in, I ran my nose along her pussy, fighting the urge to unleash my cock and thrust inside her without taking the time to truly enjoy this. My teeth nipped at the edge of her panties before tearing them slowly down her legs.
I watched as her eyes trailed the movement, the way her chest rose sharply at the sight of me undressing her. I ripped the material from her feet, then slid my tongue up her leg, groaning the closer I got to her pussy.
“Fuck!” I cried out when her leg jerked, hitting me in the stomach.
“Oh my God!” She sat up suddenly, her knee slamming into my face.
Gasping, I sat back, holding my face as I looked down at the bandage, thankful I didn’t see any blood.
“I’m so sorry,” she cried out, pressing kisses to my face.
“That was not how I saw things going in my head.”
“And how did you see things going?” she asked, holding back her laughter.
“Well, it was more about me seducing you, and less about you beating the hell out of me.”
She barely held back her laughter as she climbed over my lap, straddling my legs. “Maybe I should take things from here.”
“Yeah? What did you have in mind?”
