Saving You Losing Me

Chapter 20

CHAPTER 20

ATOM

S omehow, the stars aligned, and life has fallen into place. My sale is going through and the hottest girl on the planet is riding pillion on my bike. The next few weeks are the best of my life and I wouldn’t change a thing.

Clara’s family grudgingly accepted that she’s an adult now and allowed her to carry on seeing me. She told me she has them wrapped around her pinky finger and I don’t doubt that for a second because I am holding on tight to the one on her other hand.

It’s the summer of dreams and most nights are spent with Clara in my bed, doing everything I imagined since I first set eyes on her. She is my dark angel and has slotted in well with life at the club.

She still has her friends and hangs with them at the club they are members of, but those times are nothing in comparison to the hours we share together. She gave up Easy Joes to spend more time with me because college is beckoning and I’m aware we won’t have long together.

Tonight, we grabbed take out and are sitting on the ridge overlooking the town, leaning against the bike, our legs touching, feeding one another fries and bites of chicken.

“I’m going to miss this.” She sighs, angling her head onto my shoulder and her words tug on my heart because the clock is ticking and college isn’t long now.

“It’s only a two-hour ride. You call and I’ll be there.”

“And we’ll have our weekends.”

She raises her eyes to mine and I drown in the lust reflecting back at me.

“Of course.” I say the words, but my heart sinks because the week Clara leaves for college is the completion of my purchase. I will be taking ownership of the garage and it will be all hands on deck, setting things up. To take off to see Clara for the weekend isn’t an option, but I can collect her and drop her back there. It will be worth the ride for any of her time.

The stars are burning brightly and she whispers, “I want you to promise me something, Atom.”

“Anything, darlin’.” I kiss the top of her head and she shifts to face me. I smile as she extends her little finger and curls it around mine like a child.

“Let’s promise that nothing will come between us. To be apart as little as possible and only when it’s necessary.”

She smiles softly. “To always love one another and keep the flame between us burning brightly forever. Promise me your heart and I will do the same.”

I smile into her eyes and whisper, “You captured my heart two years ago, darlin’ and I don’t want it back because there is only one owner allowed.”

“Atom.” Her eyes soften and she whispers, “I give you my heart to do with what you will. It will always be yours and I devote my life to you.”

As our fingers shake, I tug her closer and our tongues curl together, cementing our promise. I wasn’t kidding when I said she has my heart. She always did, which is why I waited for her.

“We are one another’s firsts and will be our lasts,” she whispers against my lips and I nod my agreement.

“That is a promise I will never break. I love you Clara and the moment you are free from college and ready for the next step, I want to be the one right beside you, encouraging you to take it.”

Our lips fuse together, effectively cutting the conversation, and as I relieve her of her leather jacket, she shivers in the cool breeze. Her eyes shine as I lift her t-shirt from her head, her breasts uncaged and mine to delight in.

She eases my jacket from my shoulders and returns the favor and I push her gently back onto the blanket we brought with us. I pull down her jeans, pressing light kisses on her silk clad pussy. She moans as I edge them aside and leisurely swipe her sodden clit and she moans softly as I sample an angel’s desire.

With one hand, I lower my jeans and then reach for my knife and cut through her panties. She gasps as I run the blade against her thigh and whisper hoarsely, “I love you, baby.”

“I love you more.” She whispers shyly as I press my cock against her pussy, happy we dealt with birth control a few weeks back. Nothing lies between me and my girl anymore. No condoms, no parents, and no restrictions. She is mine, and I want to experience every exquisite inch of her.

As I slide in, she moans my name. “Atom, I love it when you are inside me.”

I reach for her and pull her eager lips to mine, her head secured in the palm of my hand as I drive my tongue in deep. She moans against me as I fill her entirely and as I pump in and out, I hold her against me, as close as is physically possible. I am never as close to Clara as I want to be. If I could crawl inside her I would, owning every inch of her as I join our souls together. I can’t explain the power of my fascination with her. It was there the moment I set eyes on her and has never dissipated.

Next week she leaves for college and I hate how empty I feel at the prospect. I’ve gotten used to her lying in my bed at night and waking to her sweet smile in the morning. I remind myself it’s only for a few years. We have the rest of our lives together and this is a mere drop in the ocean of that.

“Atom” She gasps as she clenches my cock and as she squeezes me hard, it drives a violent orgasm through my entire body, my heart beating against hers as we ride the wave together.

Always together.

We spend the night on the ridge. We talk, make love and future plans. The stars smile down on us and the soft breeze is warm. This is our perfect night while we delight in one another on the top of the world.

As the sun comes up over the horizon, she sits between my legs, her back against my chest as I kiss her neck softly.

“I love it here. Let’s build a house on this spot one day.”

I chuckle against her luscious neck. “The authorities may have something to say about that angel.”

“We can make it happen, Atom. We can do anything.”

Right at this moment, I really believe we can.

When I drop Clara home in the early hours, my heart is heavy when I leave her. It always is and even though her parents backed off, I still haven’t met them and that doesn’t sit well with me. I am serious about her and want to reassure them about that. Clara told me she was ashamed of them, but part of me wonders if it’s me she is ashamed of. I bite back my worries because we will deal with her parents when the time is right and as I head home, I switch my mind to business.

There are many meetings set up to finalize the sale and in three day’s time, The Darkside will be our new home.
