Chapter 15
ZACH
Skyler acted as if she was sleeping the whole way home. It wasn’t until I pulled into the garage that she opened her eyes and quickly got out.
I made sure everything was locked up and the alarm was reset before following her upstairs.
I’m leaning against her open door while she’s in the bathroom with the door closed.
It’s minutes later before she comes out.
Her hair is in a knot on top of her head, her makeup is gone, and she’s in a long T-shirt.
I avert my eyes from her bare legs as she climbs into bed.
“Are you going to talk to me?”
She lies back on the pillow and stares at the ceiling. “What do you want to talk about?”
I move toward her. “Why are you mad at me? What did I do?”
She fires a look at me, and I swear I can feel the heat from it. “Really? You’re going to ask me that?”
I stand beside the bed, hovering over her. “Yes, because I have no idea why you’re so pissed.”
She ignores me, and I walk around to the other side of the bed and start removing my clothes. She sits up then. “What are you doing? I’m mad at you… Go to the guestroom.”
I chuckle, and her glare sharpens. “Sweetheart, I’m addicted to sleeping with you in my arms, so yeah, I’m not going anywhere.”
Her mouth drops open, but she quickly closes it and shakes her head.
“You can’t sleep here. Why don’t you see if the blonde from earlier wants you in her bed?
I’m sure she does.” She starts to mumble as she crosses her arms over her chest and lies down.
“Prospective client, my ass. I didn’t know you let all your clients touch you and—”
I lie down next to her and rest my head on my hand, looking at her. “Is that what this is about?”
She glares at me and then looks back to the ceiling.
I reach over and run my finger along her shoulder. “I think it’s cute you’re jealous.”
Her mouth falls open, and she juts her chin. “Are you kidding me right now? I’m not jealous. All I’m saying is that you made it sound like there’s something between us, and then the first blonde with big boobs that hits on you turns your head.”
In full frustration, I move over her, holding her hands over her head against the bed. She struggles and then finally stops. She closes her eyes, but that’s not going to work for me. “Look at me,” I demand.
Her jaw tightens, and she glares up at me. “What?”
“She was a prospective client, and if you were paying attention, you would have realized that when I found out it was a personal bodyguard with benefits she was looking for, I told her we wouldn’t be taking the job… and I told her that I was in a serious relationship with you.”
She blinks at me. “You did not.”
It’s my turn to roll my eyes. “Sky, I showed her pictures of you on my phone, told her you were going to be my wife one day, and then left her with Alex to make sure she got home okay.”
Skyler’s chest rises and falls rapidly. “You… you didn’t say that.”
I lean down until we’re nose to nose. “I’ve tried telling you that this is serious between us. Maybe you should start listening to me.”
She exhales, her face open and unguarded. “Zach… look at you… you’re always going to have women hitting on you.”
I don’t even hesitate. “I don’t want them. It’s you I want to be with.” I clear my throat. “I know this is fast. I know you have a lot going on, but I need you to believe in us, Sky. I need you to let me love you.”
She shrugs, and her voice is small as she says, “I’m scared.”
I bring one of her hands up and put it at my chest, right over my heart.
It’s beating rapidly as if it’s about to come right out of my chest. “Me too. I’m scared I’m going to let you down.
I’m scared you’re going to come to your senses and know you can do better than me.
I’m scared that after all is said and done, you’re going to know that I’m the last person you should choose. ”
She drags her hand from my chest to cup my cheek. “I love you, Zach. There’s a part of me that has loved you since I was just a kid. But this, what I’m feeling now, is so much bigger… so much more than I’ve ever felt before.”
I nod, because I know exactly what she means. “Me too.”
She loops her arms around my neck and pulls me down so that our bodies are flush against each other. She holds me to her, and I revel in being in her arms.
I lift my head and look into her eyes. “You know, you’re not the only one that is jealous.”
She playfully smacks my chest. “I wouldn’t call it jealous.”
I chuckle and roll to my side, pulling her with me. “Okay, well, I’ll straight-up tell you, I was jealous.”
She gasps like she doesn’t believe me. “Jealous? What do you have to be jealous about? There wasn’t some man touching me.”
I grit my teeth, thinking about her on the floor out there, dancing and laughing.
She’s so fuckin’ beautiful, and I wanted to kill every motherfucker that thought they had the right to look at her.
“When you were dancing, I thought I was going to have to fight every man there. You’re so beautiful, Sky, that every man was watching you, wishing they could talk to you or touch you.
The only thing that kept me out of jail was knowing I would be the one going home with you tonight. ”
Her smile takes over her whole face. “Well, I’m home now… so what are you going to do with me?”
She barely gets the challenge out of her lips than I’m reaching for her shirt, lifting it up her body. She’s bare underneath, no panties or bra. I grunt, looking at her round breasts with plump nipples. “Fuck, if I’d known you were naked underneath here…”
My voice trails off as I circle her nipple with my finger. Her body arches, pushing her breast into my hand. I lean down and suck one nipple before moving to the other. I slide a hand down her body and cup her mound, sliding a finger through her swollen, wet slit.
She groans, and I raise up to look at her. “I want you.”
She nods. “I want you too.”
I sit up and take off my clothes and then position myself between her legs. “I need to be inside you, Sky, and I don’t want to wait.”
She answers me by letting her legs fall open. I look at her glistening cunt and gulp as I run a finger through her folds. “Tonight, while you were on that dance floor, men ogling you, wanting you, this is what calmed me. Knowing that this… that you… were mine.”
She stretches her body. “Yes, I’m yours. You’re the only one I want to see me like this, Zach.”
I wrap my fist around my girth and line it up at her center. Slowly, I enter her, and after she adjusts to me, I start to move leisurely.
The friction is too good, and I know I won’t last long. She fits me like a glove, and as I move in and out of her, more than ever, I want her eyes on me.
“Look at me, Sky.”
She peels her eyes open. They’re a dark shade of blue and hooded with arousal, but she looks at me.
As I move in and out, having her eyes on me makes it all even more intense. Emotions well inside me. This feels special and overwhelming and bigger than anything I’ve ever experienced before. “Fuck, you feel so good, baby.”
She groans as she meets me thrust for thrust.
I lean over and kiss her lips. As I thrust deeper, the kiss gets more intense.
I reach between us, strumming her clit, and she goes off like a rocket.
Her body tenses, she whimpers against my lips, and her pussy clamps down on my dick.
My orgasm is instant, and I take her deeper, wishing that she wasn’t on the pill and that filling her up with my seed would tie her to me forever.
Soon. Soon, she will be mine in every sense of the word. Until then, I’m going to show her how much I want her, how much I need her, and how good we can be together.
