Saving You Losing Me

Chapter 16

CHAPTER 16

ATOM

I meet Clara on the edge of her street as before and when I see her, my heart jumps a mile. She is gorgeous. Even more so than normal, because now she is officially mine.

“Hey.” I smile as she bounds up to me and slings her arms around my neck, pulling my mouth to hers with an urgency I like.

For quite some time we kiss with a desperation we both apparently share and when we finally come up for air, she whispers huskily, “I want to go to your house.”

I can’t help laughing out loud.

“Are you sure about that, darlin’? I thought it was customary to take a girl out for dinner first.”

“We can grab takeout. I don’t want to waste a minute of our time.”

“Sounds good to me.”

I hurry in starting the bike and as she slides behind me and her arms hold me tight, all is right with my world.

I push away what Razor spoke about. Her actions have reassured me far more than words and I won’t bring it up. I’m the jealous type when it matters, and Clara has given me no reason to be—yet, anyway.

We head to my home, and as Tanya is out for the night, we have the place to ourselves.

As soon as we head inside, Clara drops her jacket and grins wickedly.

“I’ve thought of nothing but this all day. Can we just go to bed and eat later?”

“That’s fine by me.”

I reach for her, swinging her into my arms and kissing her with a fierce intensity that shocks me. I want her. I always have and after what happened last night, I already can’t get enough of her.

We stumble into my bedroom and as I lower her onto the bed, my heart beats erratically because I want to make this count. Every single time I touch her, I want to make it count and as I ease off her clothing, I delight in the soft curves of a body that was created for my pleasure.

She shivers with expectation as I tear off my t-shirt and drop my jeans, her eyes feasting hungrily on my flexing muscles.

“You’re in great shape, Atom,” she says with admiration and I gaze at her body with lust and say huskily, “I can say the same about you.”

I drop before her on the bed and take my time kissing every inch of her perfect skin. She resembles a luscious peach, encouraging me to bite into her soft sweet flesh through the soft exterior to sample the lush center.

Clara will always be my favorite dish and I have no desire to sample another one and my cock is throbbing as it prepares for a repeat performance.

My mouth finds her throbbing clit and as I suck and lick she moans, a deep husky sound that drives the animal wilder inside me.

“Fuck, Atom, I can’t hold out much longer. Please stop.”

I chuckle against her sex as I bite down softly and she claws my hair and cries, “Not fair!”

With surprising strength, she forces me back and then spins me around so she is sitting astride me.

As she gazes down at me, her fingers caress my stubbled jaw before leaning in, her tongue slipping inside and capturing my soul with a passionate kiss.

Her hands drift lower until she grips my aching cock and as she pushes down, I swear I see stars.

“Now who’s not being fair?” I groan and she says nothing and slips further down, her mouth closing over my shaft, her tongue sweeping across the tip.

Then she slides it home agonizingly slowly and as I fill her greedy mouth, she cups my balls and gently rotates them.

“Fuck, Clara. Do you want this to be over any time soon?” I growl and she answers by increasing the pressure on my cock, causing it to jerk with delight in her mouth.

Grabbing her head, I gently roll her onto her back, pinning her down and holding her wrists above her head.

“Bad girl.” I growl as I reach for a condom with my other hand.

Her eyes sparkle as I roll the protection in place and as I position it against her throbbing pussy, she whispers, “We will make this work, Atom.”

Her eyes are bright and she appears so vulnerable, staring at me as if I hung the moon and my heart cracks open as she steps inside. I will do whatever it takes to keep my girl because the thought of losing her as soon as I found her is not one I’m going to entertain.

This time I slide in slowly, savoring every millisecond of it, staring into her eyes with a promise.

She bites her bottom lip as I fill her completely, every inch of me that’s inside her glorifying in heaven.

With one hand, I stroke her face lovingly as I move in further, her legs wrapping around my waist as she pulls me in deeper. My balls slap against her ass and I doubt we could be any closer right now and as we move as one, lust has been replaced with something far more powerful. Ownership.

Every inch of this woman inside and out is now mine. All mine and nothing prepared me for how powerful that makes me. I would tear a man apart who attempts to stand in our way because this is nature at her most basic.

Clara is Atom’s girl and that will never change all the time she is happy to bear that title and it’s up to me to make sure she never has cause to wish otherwise.

I make love to Clara for hours. We talk, fuck and sleep and then do it all over again. There is not an inch of her that I haven’t explored, and she has done the same to me. We are closer than two people could be and as we sit in bed with the takeout I ordered, we feed one another tasty slices of pizza from the unlikeliest of places. It’s dirty fun that I never appreciated before and I could happily stay here for the rest of my life.

Once again, it’s dawn before she sighs heavily.

“I should leave. I’ll head home, clean up and then I’m heading to Joes for my shift.”

I run my fingers through my hair and huff, “Fuck life getting in the way of pleasure. However–” I say with resignation, “I should meet the guys, anyway. We have a lot to discuss.”

“About your business?” She smiles with interest as she starts dressing, and I nod, content to watch her with my back against the headboard.

“Yeah, we have two businesses to start up and need a plan of action. We don’t have long before the place is ours and must turn it around so it starts earning out as soon as possible.”

“I’d love to help.”

She sits on the edge of the bed and reaches for my hand.

“I’m majoring in business at college and I could help out on that side where I can.”

“Sounds like a plan.”

I tug her against my chest and kiss her softly, my tongue brushing hers, wishing like hell we didn’t have to leave this bed today.

“I’ll pick you up after your shift.” I whisper as I reluctantly pull away and she nods, suddenly shy.

“I can’t wait.” She bats those long lashes and her heated expression causes me to groan out loud.

“Fuck, baby. You’re killing me inside. What do you say we ignore the day and spend it in bed?”

She throws her head back and laughs and I openly stare, loving her happiness, her sense of freedom and her pleasure.

She fixes me with a soft smile and whispers, “I love you, Atom.”

My heart clenches and it’s as if she reached inside and curled her hands around it as she breathed new life into it.

Reaching up, I stroke her face and my eyes glitter as I whisper hoarsely, “And I love you baby girl and just for the record, I’ve never said that to anyone before.”

Her eyes glisten with tears as she whispers against my lips, “Same.”

We don’t leave .

I relieve her of her clothes and drag her back to bed with me and this time I make love to my woman, knowing we are on the same page. It’s an early declaration on both our parts, but sometimes in life you already know something that others take a while to recognize. I felt it the minute I laid eyes on Clara Gladstone and, if anything, her declaration was a mere affirmation of what I always knew in my heart.
