Chapter 15

Bella

Just as Mateo pulled up, the sky opened, and it started to pour. Shit.

“Get in. I’ll give you a ride home.”

“No. I’ll catch a cab.”

“Just get in the damn car, Bella. You’re getting soaked.”

Taking in a deep breath, I walked over and climbed in the back seat.

“I think we need to clear the air,” he said. “Just get everything out and out of the way. Because honestly, I don’t think I can work with you and see you every day if you’re going to continue to have an attitude with me.”

Was he serious?

“I know you’re still holding a grudge against me because I never called you like I promised I would.”

“I’m not talking about this right now, Grant.”

“Just like you’re not talking to your ex who keeps calling you?”

“My personal life is none of your business,” I snapped.

Mateo pulled up to my building and I couldn’t get out of the damn car fast enough. Opening the door, I climbed out.

“Goodbye, Grant.”

As I went to shut the door, he stopped it and climbed out.

“Oh no. We aren’t finished yet,” he said as he followed me into the building and onto the elevator. “You obviously have some unresolved anger with me, and the sooner you get it all out and we talk about it, the sooner we can put it behind us and move forward.”

“See, that’s the problem right there,” I spoke. “I thought I put it all behind me, but seeing you again stirred everything up.”

I unlocked the door to my apartment, and we stepped inside. Throwing my purse down, I took off my shoes and went into the kitchen to feed Duchess.

“Then talk to me, Bella.”

“Fine!” I shouted as I slammed the bag of food on the counter. “You hurt me really bad, Grant. I waited for you to call me, and when I didn’t hear from you, I tried to call and text you and nothing would go through.”

“I know and I’m sorry,” he said with a sympathetic voice. “I just felt it was best we left what we shared in Hawaii.”

“Oh really? And you couldn’t tell me that? You couldn’t extend the courtesy of letting me know instead of leaving me hanging and hoping and praying that every time my phone rang it was you calling me?”

“We were sixteen, Bella! We were kids!”

“That didn’t stop the fact that you fucked me,” I shouted.

He took in a sharp breath as he tucked his hands in his pants pockets.

“You, Grant Roman, hurt me in ways I’d never been hurt before. My dumb sixteen-year-old ass was in love with you. You made promises and you didn’t follow through.” Tears started to stream down my face. “You made me feel used and unworthy.”

“Bella.” He walked towards me and placed his hands on each side of my face. “I am so sorry.” I could see the tears form in his eyes as I stared into them. “The last thing I wanted was to hurt you. But you need to understand we were sixteen years old, and it was never going to work. We were young and naïve. I just thought it was better to stop it after you left than to further get involved and make it harder on both of us down the road. I’m sorry I hurt you. I truly am. That was so long ago and we’ve both changed. We’ve grownup, Bella. I’m sorry. And for the record, I didn’t use you. Trust me when I say that.”

I swallowed the lump that formed in my throat as our eyes stayed locked on each other’s. When he softly ran his thumb across my lips, my body trembled, and I quickly turned away from him.

“Okay. I think we’ve cleared the air. You should go now.”

“What if I don’t want to.” I felt his hands grip my shoulders from behind and my legs tightened.

He leaned in and I felt the warmth of his scotch ridden breath against the flesh of my neck. I knew better and I should have loosened myself from his grip, but I was paralyzed. His lips grazed my jawline, and while I shuddered at his touch, I lost all my senses. Just like I did fourteen years ago. I turned around and our lips met with force. My head screamed at me to run, but my body begged me to keep going. I hadn’t had sex since Ian, and I was desperate. We broke our kiss long enough just to undress as I pulled off my shirt and pulled down my pants and he took off his shirt.

“My God, you are so beautiful,” he said as he took down his pants.

Wrapping his arms around me, he lifted me up, and I locked my legs around his waist and my arms around his neck. Our lips tangled as he carried me to the couch, sat down, and kept me securely on top of him. The feel of his hard cock pressed against me made me quiver. As our lips were locked tight and our tongues explored each other’s, his hand reached behind and unclasped my bra.

Grant

I’d always fantasized what she would be like when she was older. She was pure perfection and I wanted to explore every inch of her body with my tongue. I broke our kiss and stared into her beautiful eyes before groping her perky breasts and wrapping my lips around her hardened nipple. The light moan that escaped her turned me on even more. Her C cup breasts were perfect, natural and a delicacy to be savored. As much as I wanted her to bounce up and down on my cock on the couch, I needed to explore more of her first.

“Let’s take this to the bedroom,” my voice whispered as I ran my finger across her lips.

Her legs tightened around me, and I stood as my hands held her up by her tight ass. When we made it to the bedroom, I laid her down on the bed, hovered over her and took her breasts in my mouth before my tongue traveled down her torso. Her goddess body was everything I dreamt it would be. Hooking my fingers around the waistband of her black lace string panties, I slid them down and let my mouth explore her southern region. She tasted sweet and intoxicating. The wetness poured from her like a water fountain, and I couldn’t get enough. Her moans heightened as her fingers tangled through my hair. I couldn’t believe I was tasting her again and feeling the softness of her skin against mine. Her legs tightened around me, and she came while letting out a pleasurable moan. The anticipation was killing me. I needed to be buried deep inside her and to feel her once again.

I hovered over her and held her face in my hands.

“I have to get a condom from my wallet. I’ll be right back.”

As soon as I rolled the condom over my hard cock, my lips met hers as I slowly thrust inside her, inch by inch. A feeling of warmth enveloped my cock as I buried myself deep inside while soft moans escaped both our lips. As I hovered over her, I stared into her eyes and the memories of our first time filled my mind. The one night I’d never forgotten and thought about more than I should have over the years. I picked up the pace as her body gave way to an orgasm and her nails dug into the flesh of my back. Pushing deep inside her, my cock spasmed and exploded, like fireworks on the fourth of July. My heart raced at the speed of light as I lowered my body on top of hers and tried to catch my breath.
