I stood in front of the one woman I needed to stay away from. I tried to stay away, but I just couldn’t. I missed Mila. Not just the sex, but Mila herself— her laugh, our talks, being close to her. When she was growing up, we weren’t that close. Sure, I visited her on birthdays and holidays, bringing her presents that I’m not even sure she liked or kept. I chatted with her about school and what kinds of things she was into, but that was it. I was busy talking to my best friend about my next business venture and investment, or who I was dating.
All that didn’t matter now. All I wanted was Mila. She was the one I wanted in my life. The last three days were torture and felt like the days went by so slow. Even when I tried to keep busy with work, I couldn’t focus. I would look at photos that we took during our trip, the memories of us haunting me.
Mila texted me, checking to see how I was doing and if we can hang out, but I resisted texting her back and calling her. Remembering our time together and how it felt to be in a relationship—albeit a fake relationship—with her, I knew that I couldn’t stay away any longer. I jerked off at least twice a day since returning home, thinking of Mila. I missed her. I had the most incredible time with her in Hawaii, needing to see her again. I knew I was out of my mind being here, risking Nelson seeing me in his backyard, going into Mila’s place.
Before she opened the front door, I stood there a long minute, debating if being here was a good idea. I was about to turn and walk away, but I wasn’t a coward so I stayed, ready to see my sweet girl. When Mila opened the door, I was breathless. She was so goddamn beautiful, even dressed for the gym. My eyes roamed down her body, taking every inch of her to memory. I balled my hands to fists, thinking of all the men at the gym gaping at Mila and her curvaceous body as she wore these tight, body-hugging clothing.
“I’m sorry for interrupting your day,” I said, my body relaxing as our eyes met again.
She let out a husky laugh, the beautiful sound melting my heart. “You sound so formal,” she teased, smirking.
I rolled my eyes as she continued to laugh. That does it. I hooked my arms around her waist and jerked her to my body, then crushed my lips on hers, giving her a hot, panty-melting kiss. She’s going to know how much I missed her.
Her body stiffened for a brief moment then she relaxed, kissing me back. She dragged me into the pool house with our lips still locked, then kicked the door shut. Her hands ran through my hair, gripping on fistfuls, causing a low growl to rumble in my chest. I licked the seam of her lips, urging her to part them, and allowing my tongue access into her mouth. My tongue slid in, meeting hers. Our tongues danced and curled around one another, finding the rhythm of our song once again. Our kiss was hungry, and I was taking everything I could from her.
She moaned into the kiss, the sound vibrating against our lips as I deepened our kiss. My heartbeat sped up, my arms tightening my hold around her, pressing her against my body until there wasn’t any space left between us. I reluctantly pulled away, releasing the kiss, soft pants leaving our lips as we tried to catch our breaths.
“I missed you, angel,” I said low, cupping her jaw and gazing into her dark eyes.
“I missed you too, baby.” She flashed her beautiful smile, making the butterflies in my stomach flutter.
There was a sizzle in the air between us, an undeniable chemistry we have. I leaned in, pressing my lips on hers once again, spinning her around and pinning her against the wall. There was no way I wanted this to end.
