Forgiven (22 page)

As I continued to suck on her nipples, my hand moved down to the button of her jeans. Once the button was open, I slid my hand down the front her jeans and slipped my fingers into her. She was so wet, it was killing me.

“Caleb,” she whimpered.

The sound of my name rolling from her lips made my need for her increase. I thrust my hips into her and brought my lips back up to hers. I continued to move my fingers inside of her. When she gasped, I plunged my tongue in, tasting every part of her mouth.

“Baby, you are so wet,” I panted.

I felt her insides begin to quiver and used my thumb to tease her swollen clit. She tightened around my fingers. I loved watching her come in my arms.

“Oh, Caleb,” she cried out, her back bowing off the bed.

I moved to the side of her, taking her with me, and gently caressing her side while we tried to catch our breath. When her breathing had evened out, I leaned over and kissed her quickly, needing my body to calm down. I wasn’t sure how much more I could take. As I went to pull away, she grabbed the sides of my face with her hands and deepened the kiss. I let her kiss me for a while, before I tried to pull away again.

“Angie…” I groaned. My body couldn’t take any more, but she held my face in her hands with our eyes locked.

“Caleb, please be my first,” she whispered.

I couldn’t believe I’d heard her right. “What?” I asked.

She wrapped her arms around my neck. “I want you to make love to me.”

Just hearing the words made me hard, but I still didn’t want her to do anything she wasn’t ready for—no matter how badly I wanted her. “Are you sure? I don’t want you to feel pressured into this.”

She pulled my lips back to hers and gave me one of the hottest kisses of my life. “I’m positive, I want you.”

I wanted her so bad. Sitting up, I pulled my shirt over my head and threw it to the floor. She ran her hands up my arms tracing my tattoos, and I shivered under her touch. When I captured her lips with mine, she moaned into my mouth and her hands fisted in my hair. This is what I’d wanted since the night I told her my feelings…so why was I suddenly nervous as hell? I shouldn’t be nervous—it wasn’t like I was a virgin.

I crawled over her and straddled her hips. Lifting her arms above her head, I skimmed my fingers down her body, paying special attention to those pert, rosy nipples. I kissed down her throat, licking the hollow of her neck, causing her to sigh. I continued to move down her body, doing my best to increase her pleasure with the teasing licks of my tongue. Her skin tasted like honey, so sweet and soft. Her eyes glassed over in pleasure as my mouth found its way to her breasts. Using my teeth, I lightly tugged on her nipple, making her gasp and grind her hips into me. I licked my tongue across the tight bud to make it better. I wanted her
now
, but I had to make sure she was ready.

Reaching down with both hands, I carefully slid her jeans down her legs. Moving my hand up her inner thigh, I could feel how wet she was through the fabric of her panties. Physically, she was more than ready. Emotionally? I still wasn’t sure.

Trying to calm my pounding heart, I looked down into her eyes. “Baby, are you sure you want to do this? I don’t want to hurt you.”

She reached up to cup my face again. “I’ll be fine, I have to face the pain at some point…I want it to be with you,” she whispered.

Talk about pressure, I grabbed her panties and slid them down her legs making sure to caress every sensitive spot on the way down. She slipped her hands into my pants and grabbed my dick. Holy shit, it felt amazing. I wasn’t sure how much longer I could hold off. My dick surged in anticipation, but I wanted to make her come again first.

Moving my mouth to hers, I sucked her tongue into my mouth. This time the audible moan came from me, as she slowly stroked her hand up and down my shaft. Never in my life had I been this turned on. I moved my fingers into her wet folds and, finding her already aroused, my resistance crumbled, I couldn’t wait any longer.

“So wet,” I groaned, before pulling back and removing my jeans and boxers. I reached over and grabbed a condom out of the nightstand and rolled it on before moving myself between her legs.

“Are you ready, baby?” I asked, searching her eyes for any doubt.

She just nodded but I could see she was nervous.

“Relax, Angie. I’ll be gentle,” I whispered in her ear as I pushed my dick against her warm, soft opening. She felt incredible, and that was before I’d even started to inch my way into her. Leaning on my elbows to hold myself above her, it took everything I had not to just slam into her. I continued to move slowly, but when I saw her face wince in pain I froze.

“Don’t stop,” she panted.

I looked into her eyes. “I don’t want to hurt you.” My voice was strained from the effort of holding back.

She put her hands on my arms. “I’m fine, just kiss me.”

I leaned, capturing her lips with mine as I continued to push inside her. I was finally all of the way in, she was so fucking soft and warm. I paused, breathing as deeply as I could. The feel of her was unbelievable and if I didn’t slow down I wasn’t going to last thirty seconds. Little by little, I started to move in and out of her.

“Angie…so…sexy,” I panted.

I moved my hand down to massage her breast. She was so tight I couldn’t get enough of her, but when she wrapped her legs around my waist, I was lost. My pace quickened, until I was pounding in and out of her. Her little whimpers of pleasure were pushing me forward and I wasn’t sure how much longer I could hold on.

I moved my hand from her breast, down to where our bodies were joined and used my thumb to rub circles on her clit. I clenched my teeth, doing everything I could to ensure her climax before mine.

“Caleb, oh God, right there…please don’t stop,” she begged.

I continued my driving rhythm until I felt her tighten around me. I thrust one last time and let go.

We were both out of breath, and I used my elbows to keep my weight off of her. That was the most mind-blowing experience I have ever had. Once I could speak, I pushed her hair out of her face, gazing into her eyes. “Are you okay?”

She smiled up at me. “I’m better than okay. That was incredible.”

I rolled us to the side and reached for her lips. “That was more than incredible…that was the hottest sex I’ve ever had.”

I kissed her thoroughly before pulling out and removing the condom, throwing it in the trashcan next to the nightstand. I moved to my back, taking her with me. Using my fingers, I drew little circles on her back. I hadn’t felt this content in a long time. Things seemed to finally be going right for me, plus I wasn’t getting trapped in the past as often as I used to. I realized that Angie might be the one person who could save me.

She looked up at me then. “What are you thinking about?”

“You,” I answered honestly.

She started to move her fingers up and down my stomach. That slight movement was making my body wake up again. She looked down and back up at me. She giggled, “So that’s what you were thinking of.”

“No…but now that you mention it.” I grabbed her wrists and flipped her onto her back. I kissed her passionately, slipping my tongue into her mouth and exploring every inch. We spent the next few hours doing exactly what she accused me of thinking about.

I knew it was late when I opened my eyes and the sun was shining through Caleb’s window. Caleb had kept me up most of the night but I had no regrets—in fact I’d never felt better in my life. I finally felt like I belonged somewhere and to someone. The man sleeping next to me was everything I had been waiting for, and the one person I believed could show me what it felt like to be loved. I’d known I could find a new future for myself when I came to college, but I hadn’t been sure I would find someone to care about me, despite my problems.

Caleb’s ringtone interrupted my thoughts, and I remembered what had woken me in the first place. I reached over to shake him awake—he slept like the dead.

“Caleb, wake up. Your phone’s ringing,” I said.

He grunted and threw his hand over to the nightstand. He slid the lock and pulled the phone to his ear, without ever lifting his head from the pillow.

“Hello? Hello?” He hung up the phone. “Stupid wrong number,” he mumbled into the pillow.

He rolled over and kissed up my arm to my shoulder. “Why are you awake? Didn’t I wear you out last night?”

I giggled. “You did, but your phone woke me up.”

He wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me closer. We were lying on our sides facing each other. He brushed a piece of my hair behind my ear, and focused his eyes on me.

“How do you feel this morning?” he asked cautiously.

I placed my hand on his chest and leaned into quickly kiss him. “I’m wonderful,” I said with a smile.

And I was. Last night was everything I had hoped my first time would be. Things had finally gotten to a point where there were no more barriers between us. When I shifted I realized I was a little sore, but nothing compared to the sprained wrist.

He studied my face closely. “You are?”

I laughed, “Well, I’m a little sore, but nothing a hot shower and some Advil can’t fix. I couldn’t be happier.”

He cupped my face with his hand before kissing me passionately. Hearing the moan come from the back of my throat, I ran my hands over his shoulders and down his back. He slowly pulled back.

“I could wake up every morning like this. I wish this week would never end,” he said.

“Mmmm, that sounds nice. Does that include breakfast in bed?” I hinted.

“Only if I get to shower with you after breakfast?” he said with a smirk.

“Of course,” I purred.

Then I had to laugh as Caleb jumped out of bed, threw his boxers on, and almost ran to the kitchen. I lay back down on the bed and let my mind wander. I knew Josh and Emily would both be back tomorrow, so we would have to leave our cocoon. After the shit with my father being released on bail, it felt as if we were the only two people on the planet when we were shut away in Caleb’s apartment. No one and nothing else mattered.

But that would all change tomorrow.

We would still be able to spend time together, but it wouldn’t be the same. Classes, football workouts, and our friends, would interrupt this little bubble we were living in.

Em was going to freak out when she found out they let my dad out—she was so protective of me. Shit! There was no way I could keep the fact that I had slept with Caleb hidden from her. She was like fucking Nancy Drew! Besides, she was the only one who knew I was a virgin—until last night. I never talked about it, because it always led to questions as to how and why. Em was the only one who knew about my father, at least until Caleb found out.

I was glad he knew. Now I didn’t have to hide part of myself from him anymore. I knew he was still hiding something from me, but I didn’t want to pressure him into telling me. He would tell me when the time was right. Hopefully, knowing about my dad would help him to trust me with whatever he was keeping locked away.

I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn’t hear Caleb come back into the room. He crawled up from the end of the bed, until he was deliciously pressing all of himself onto me. I sighed at the contact.

He ran the back of his hand down the side of my face. “What are you thinking about with that frown on your face?”

I decided to tell him a partial truth. “I was thinking about how we have to go back to reality in two days, when I would rather stay here in our cocoon.”

He kissed me and it was swift, but full of promise. “Me too. Let’s enjoy what time we have left. Are you ready for breakfast?”

He got up and moved over to the dresser where he had left a tray with scrambled eggs, toast, some cut up fruit, a bottle of Advil and a glass of water. He was so thoughtful. I wasn’t used to people listening to what I said, but I could easily adjust to it.

He brought the tray over to sit on my lap, then came around the side of the bed and sat down with me. I grabbed the bottle of Advil first, and then moved onto breakfast—he was a fantastic cook. The minute we finished eating, he moved the tray off my lap, grabbed my hand and led me to the bathroom, where we spent the next hour working off the calories.
