I rubbed my chest, feeling the crack in my heart spread, shattering it into a thousand pieces. How could I make her understand that I wanted to be with her, but I wasn’t what she needed? I just had to tell her. Tell her how I really felt and hope she’d understand.
“Lexi, it’s not that I don’t want to be with you, because I do. I want that more than anything. It’s just that…”
“It’s okay, Raven, I get it.” She wiped her cheeks. “I’m not what you want.”
Damn. She had it all wrong.
“Hell, you’re everything I want and more.” I cupped her face with both hands. Using my thumbs, I wiped the tears streaming down her cheeks. I couldn’t keep holding on to her. Either I needed to be with her or walk away forever. But I couldn’t stand to think of Lexi being with another man. Giving her virginity to another guy, even if he was better than me.
“But you said you didn’t want to be with me,” she sniffed.
“Just because I said I’m not good for you, doesn’t mean that I don’t want to be with you.”
She stared at me. “I’m so confused, Raven.”
I grinned. “It’s really not that complicated.” I took a deep breath and lowered my head. Every force of nature couldn’t keep me from being with her. Lexi was all I wanted and needed. I couldn’t fight it any longer. The effect she had on me was like nothing I’d ever experienced.
And I wanted more of it.
Everything she had to offer.
And more.
Looking up at her, I said, “You see, because not only do I want to be with you, but I also want to make love to your body until you can’t stand it. Until your begging for me to stop.”
“What?” she muttered.
“But not like this. Not while you’ve been drinking.” I stroked my fingers along her cheeks and her body shivered against my touch. The need calling from within us was strong. So strong I was ready to forget about everything I just told her. But I couldn’t. I had to do this the right way. She at least deserved that from me.
“Raven, stay with me…please,” she pleaded and I almost said yes. “I don’t want to be alone.” She released the covers, exposing herself to me. Even with a strapless bra on, she had the most perfect breasts I’d ever seen.
“If I stay with you that could be dangerous.”
“I like dangerous.” She bit down on her lower lip, pulling off an erotic look that revved up my hormones.
The rise in my pants told me to get on with it or get out. “No, you like stupid and that’s me.”
She let out a soft laugh. “You’re not stupid, Raven.”
“Well, I’m stupid, crazy for you.” It took all my strength to peel my eyes from her body.
“Will you show me just how crazy you are for me?”
Lexi knew how to tempt me. No question about that. I kneaded my fingers through her hair and rested my head against hers. I took a few deep breaths, trying to calm myself. The exchange of energy between us was agonizing. Never had I wanted someone so badly before. My soul called out to Lexi’s, dying to be connected with the piece that had been missing. Lexi held a piece of me I couldn’t function without. I needed her to be whole.
