Chapter 117

Caden’s POV If this was the talk she mentioned the previous day, then I’m actually beating myself up for silencing her.

Reaching for the bed cover, I rip it away to reveal the seductive delight that’s latching onto my coc k and making all the blood in my head rush down south.

With a groan, I slide my fingers into her hair, using them as a band to hold it away from her face. She always wears it down. and I have to say that I like it when it’s down. It’s fun to run my fingers through it or use it as a clutch to direct her movements.

Exhibit A; I fist my hand in her hair and slide my co c k out of her mouth and back in. F u c ki n g breathtaking.

I keep f u c k i n g her mouth and she keeps moaning around my c oc k like it’s the best thing she has ever had in her mouth. I soon have to slide out of her mouth for fear of coming prematurely. It has been so long since I last had my hands on her and I refuse to come anywhere aside from when I’m ball-deep in her sweet p u s s y.

Still using her hair as a clutch, I drag her up my body and she goes willingly but with a little whine like she can’t bear to part away with my c o c k. The feeling is mutual.

Once she’s lying flat on me, I take her lips not caring that neither of us has taken care of our morning breath or about the fact that I can taste myself on her tongue.

Groaning into the kiss, I pull her tighter into my arms and she straddles me, rocking into my h a r d- o n with the head grazing her c l i t .

She moans into the kiss, her hip moving faster until I fear that it’s going to be over before I even get to be inside her.

Gripping her hip, I hold her still, breathing heavily through my nose to control the urge to simply slam into her.

Flipping us around so that she’s beneath me, I make a move to lift from the bed but fall back down on Alessia when her legs wind around my hip, pushing me back down.

“Where are you going?” She pouts as her hands snake around my neck, nearly choking me. Even as I stand on the threshold of probably getting choked, I can’t help but smile at her clinginess.

It’s hard to believe that this is the same person that has been aloof and withdrawn.

Kissing her arm, I reach a hand to her face, brushing away a lash that fell on her cheek. “It’s hard to believe that you couldn’t spare a minute of your time with me these past few days.” A crooked smile.

“What changed?” I ask, genuinely curious to know what has brought about this change. Not that I was complaining or anything. In fact, that couldn’t be far from the truth. I’ll be more than glad if she decides that she wants us to be joined at the hip. There would be a slight inconvenience of figuring out how to do our jobs without getting in the others way, but eventually, we would figure it out.

She blushes prettily. “It’s not like I did it on purpose. I just didn’t have the opportunity to slack off and-”

“It’s ok,” I say before she pops a veins from her serious she is. “I was just joking. I understand how stressful these past few days have been for you.” Caressing her cheeks with my thumb, I hold her gaze. “I just wish that you would have confided in me and asked for your help.” And isn’t that what irked me the most? Not the fact that we haven’t shared a moment together in ages. It’s knowing that she was going through issues and didn’t feel the need to ask for my help.

I would have gladly tagged along with her to her pack every single day if she had only asked.

L Her hand on my nape toy with the hair there, curling it around her finger and then letting go of it. The movement sends shock waves right down to my c c k which is still silently weeping between our bodies.

“I didn’t want to trouble you. I knew that you were busy with Jude and figuring out his hiding place.” A soft sigh. “I didn’t want to add more to your plate.”

“Never say that again.” My hand slid down to her neck. “You confiding in me isn’t going to magically multiply my problems. Jude should never factor into the choices you make,” I say sternly, ready to spa n k it into her if that is what it will take to get her to understand this.

gone I know she struggles with some internal battles and probably feels like she’s the cause of some of the bizarre things that have down. I don’t know how to delude her of those thoughts and if I should say them outright, I’m a hundred percent sure that she won’t believe me. The most that I can do is stand beside her and help her through whatever is bothering her, but how can I do that if she keeps shutting me out?

“No more running away.” My voice is just a bit higher from sounding like a pled and I don’t have it in me to feel embarrassed about that.

She nods, her eyes glassy.

“Your words. I want to hear you say it.” Call me pathetic, but I need her promise. Having a redo of these past few days will surely end me. I can’t go through it again.

“I promise that I’ll come to you when even I need your help and I promise not to shut you out.” Her fingers slide down my arm and dig into my biceps as though re-enforcing her promise.

I sigh, pressing my head against hers and breathing in what seems to be my first clear breath since all this started.
