Missing Pieces - Chapter 45
Hailey
Thursday
He kicked the door closed with his foot and slammed my back against it. Our lips hadn't parted since the elevator. It was like I didn't need to breathe. I just needed him.
His palms slid up my thighs as I tightened my legs around his waist. God, I was soaked. As soon as he had caught me mid leap in that bar I couldn't stop thinking about being alone with him. This was the last time we could be together for a long time. I was going to make it count.
His breathing was labored when he pulled away from me. "There were nicer hotels a little farther down the..."
"This is perfect, Tyler." I intertwined my fingers in his hair and kissed him again.
He pulled us away from the door and set me down on the edge of the bed.
I grabbed the hem of his shirt and pushed it up his abs.
I wanted to see him. I needed to memorize every inch of his hard body.
But when he didn't take it off, I grabbed the fabric and pulled him closer to me instead.
He had no idea what he was doing to me. I needed him right this second or I was going to internally combust.
"Lean back," he whispered seductively in my ear.
I ignored him as I spread my thighs even more for him. If he wanted me to beg, I'd beg. "Tyler, I need you."
"Trust me, Hails, you're going to enjoy this." He slowly pushed my tank top up the sides of my torso, trailing his fingers against my skin. His touch sent shivers down my spine.
I put my hands in the air so he could take my shirt off more easily. But that didn't make him go any faster. He kissed up the length of my arm as he slowly pulled my tank top off over my head.
I was practically panting as he unhooked my bra.
The groan that escaped his lips as my breasts spilled out just made me even wetter. What the hell was he trying to do to me?
He slowly pulled the straps down my arms. "You are the most beautiful girl I have ever met."
I swallowed hard. I hoped he meant that. I knew he had been hung up on Penny...
"Inside and out, Hails," he said as he put his hand on the side of my face.
He slowly trailed his fingers down my neck to the center of my chest and lightly pushed, so that I'd lay down on the bed like he wanted.
He leaned over me so that his arms were on either side of my head.
"You're gorgeous. And I'm going to keep telling you that until you believe it.
" He kissed the side of my neck and I immediately moaned.
I felt him smile against my skin. "And I love what I can do to your perfect body." He left a trail of kisses down my neck and between my breasts.
"Tyler," I panted. "I need you."
"I need you too, Hails." His breath was hot against my skin as he took one of my nipples into his mouth and lightly tugged.
Oh God. It was like my nipple had a direct line to my groin. I was practically dripping with desire.
"Fuck me, Tyler," I moaned.
He sucked on my nipple even harder, ignoring my plea.
I reached down and unbuttoned my shorts. I couldn't wait another second. I needed him inside of me.
He grabbed my hands to stop me, as he left a trail of kisses down my stomach. He tugged on the waistband of my shorts and slowly pulled them and my thong down my thighs. I was so aroused that just the feeling of the fabric trailing across my skin turned me on even more.
"Tyler, please, I need you." I kicked my shorts off as soon as he pulled them past my knees.
"I know." He lightly kissed the inside of my knee.
God, kill me now. I was going to die from horniness. "No, I need you to fuck me." I could hear the desperation in my voice.
"Not tonight." He kissed the inside of my thigh.
What?
He continued his torturously slow ascent of kisses up my leg.
"Please, Tyler." I swore I felt him smile against my skin again. He kissed high up my thigh and then I felt his breath against where I needed him most. Please. "I'm losing my mind."
"If I don't taste you I'm going to lose my fucking mind."
Jesus, that mouth.
He thrust his tongue deep inside of me.
Oh, God yes that mouth! He was finally answering my pleas. And it was even better than I could imagine. I gripped the sheets as he slowly swirled his tongue inside of me.
I would have grabbed his head so he wouldn't stop, but I didn't think I needed to. He was completely devouring me. It was like I was the only sustenance he needed.
My hips arched toward him. It was like they had a mind of their own. I loved his tongue but I needed more.
He pressed down firmly on my thighs, spreading them even farther apart, as he swirled his tongue, hitting all my walls.
"Tyler, please."
He thrust his tongue even deeper.
Jesus. What was he trying to do to me?
He rubbed his nose against my clit and I completely shattered.
"Tyler!" My hands clenched the sheets even tighter.
I hadn't been expecting that at all. How had he done that with just his tongue?
I tried to catch my breath as the bliss started to subside.
And I tried not to think about the fact that I was lying naked on the bed, completely spent, and he was still fully clothed.
"That was amazing," I said breathlessly.
He didn't say a word as he grabbed his t-shirt by the nape of its collar and pulled it off over his head.
I swallowed hard as I stared at his perfect abs. When my eyes met his, I realized he was staring down at me with a smile on his face. I pressed my thighs together. I didn't want to feel self-conscious around him, but when he looked at me like that I couldn't help it.
He put his hand between my knees and spread them apart again. "I don't think I've ever seen you more beautiful."
I closed my eyes and shook my head.
"Hails?"
I felt the bed sag.
"I love the freckles on your nose." He kissed the bridge of my nose.
"And the line you get in your forehead when you're overthinking everything.
" He kissed my forehead. "And the way you live your life with so much hope despite how easy it would be to hold on to all the darkness.
" He kissed my clavicle. "And I love that you let me in even though you were scared.
" He kissed between my breasts. "And I love when you tell me that I'm being an idiot. "
I laughed as I shook my head.
"And I love your laugh. Your smile makes me smile." He placed a soft kiss against my lips and I opened my eyes as he pulled away.
"You don't have to sweet talk me, Tyler. You're already getting lucky."
He shook his head. "You deserve the world, Hailey. And I know you don't see that for some reason." He put his hand under my chin. "But I'm going to spend my life giving you everything I can."
I felt a tear run down my cheek. Because it had just hit me.
We had a future. He could be my forever.
I touched the side of his face. He was right.
Tonight wasn't about fucking in some cheap motel.
Tonight was about loving each other. I might not get to see him for months.
Tonight was about making memories that we could hold on to.
I wanted him to know that I understood. I wanted him to know how real my feelings were.
"Then maybe you should start by making love to me. "
"I thought you'd never ask." He kissed me again, slower this time. Our tongues swirled together as his hand slid down my back. I'd remember this kiss for my whole life. It was the kind of kiss that makes your head spin. Nothing in the world could beat that.
But when I heard the zipper of his jeans, I knew he was about to. He entered me slowly, inch by inch. "I was made for loving you," he whispered as I buried my hands in his hair.
Never in my life had I felt so full. I moaned as he slowly started moving in and out of me.
"Tyler." My fingertips dug into the muscles of his back.
Every inch of him was hard. I felt so safe in his arms. Something happened to me as we held each other.
I think I realized that without him I'd break again.
He was the glue that held me together. He was everything good that was left of me.
"Hailey," he said softly and kissed away the tears I hadn't realized I had shed. "I love you."
"I love you too."
"Promise that you'll remember that you're mine." He pinned the back of my hands to the mattress as he thrust a little faster.
Yes! "I promise." I'd love him for the rest of my life. I wrapped my legs around his waist.
He groaned in response.
The intensity was too much. Sex for me had always been quick and pretty anticlimactic, except with Tyler. Every time we had been together was somehow more amazing than the last. And this was a whole different level. I felt so close to him. I felt like we were one.
My fingers tightened around his as he made me come. "Tyler!" I'm pretty sure people down the hall could hear me scream his name.
I immediately felt his warmth spread inside of me. I was complete. Perfectly and utterly complete.
He collapsed beside me and pulled me against him.
I breathed in the smell of him as my hand rose and fell on his chest. The ocean breeze made the curtains flutter. I wanted moments like this for the rest of my life. I wanted him for the rest of my life. But in a few short hours I'd be saying goodbye. Just the thought made my chest feel tight.
