33. Cat

CAT
I heard the door slam as my sister left, but I didn’t look back because my mouth was still attached to Vince’s . I’d been worried about coming here because I knew if he asked for forgiveness, I would give it to him. I told myself I would argue with him and make him work for it, but in the end I caved. I understood why he did what he did. I had tried to do the same thing.
Vince lifted me up and began to carry me back to his bedroom. I broke the kiss and looked down at him.
“I love you, Cat .”
“I love you too, V .”
He didn’t throw me down on the bed or rip my clothes off. Instead , he took his time.
There was something different now. There was no urgency. Not because there wasn’t a desire for it, but because he seemed to cherish it as though he appreciated this second chance and wanted to revel in it.
He must have felt the same intensity I did, because he put his hand to my face and spoke softly. “ You’re mine, Cat . Always and forever.”
He kissed me deeply, and I savored the feel of his body melding with mine. The connection was deeper this time, though. More meaningful. This man meant everything to me, and I needed him to know it.
As he grinded against me, I closed my eyes, trying to relish every touch and kiss. When I opened my eyes, I met his gaze. A gaze that was intense, speaking volumes, conveying what we both felt, but didn’t know how to say. The world around us seemed to fade away.
I came—hard. I felt like I left my body. Every sensation felt new to me. People talk about this euphoric bliss phase. I’d read about it in some of my romance novels too but never experienced it myself. Until now.
As I came back to earth, I looked up at Vince . He pumped into me with an increasingly frantic pace, as though he couldn’t control himself. I loved that I made him lose control.
His voice boomed as his release rippled through him. He placed his forehead on mine as he spoke softly. “ Best thing that ever happened to me—my, Kit - Cat .”
I closed my eyes and felt his words to my soul before saying, “ And you’re mine, V —just as we were always meant to be.”
