on her forehead and above her top lip. She looked amazing and satisfied, but more than anything, she looked happy.
“I love you, too,” she whispered.
And just like that I was a taken man. My heart would always belong to Patience and as long as she would have me, I was hers for the taking.
“Come home with me tonight,” I said as I caressed her waist with my thumb.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
“If you don’t stop doing that, I’m going to want more.” She grinned up me.
I chuckled.
“Baby, I’ll give you anything you want.”
“Anything?” she asked with a raised brow.
“Anything.” I leaned in and softly kissed her.
And I would, too. I’d make sure from this point on not to screw up when it came to my snowflake and no matter what, I wanted to make her happy.
We held hands on the way to my apartment and we barely made it to my room before we were at it again. This time it was up against my bedroom door with my pants around my ankles and her skirt around her waist. She was insatiable and wild, and I loved seeing her with so much happy freedom.
The next morning, I woke before her and watched as she slept peacefully in my bed. Her platinum locks were spread across my pillow and occasionally she let out a soft snore. As I looked down at her, I knew I was the happiest I’d ever been in my life. It would never get any better than this.
I ran my fingers through her hair and she moved closer to me with a soft moan. I lay there with my fingers in her curls and contemplated my next move. Once I graduated, I would go to work. Selling drugs had to stop. A drug dealer was no good for Patience and I wanted to be good for her.
The drinking had to slow down too. I was headed on a one-way track to being my father, and I’d have myself admitted somewhere before I became a disgusting alcoholic like him. There were many changes I wanted to make, things that were good for me and things that were good for Patience.
I didn’t realize she was awake until I felt her softly kiss my chest. I pushed her hair from her face as she nipped at my nipple ring. I loved having her mouth on me and I hissed out loud when she sucked the ring between her lips.
“You’re trying to kill me, woman. Will you at least feed me before you take advantage of me again?” I smirked down at her and ran my finger down the side of her face.
“Feed me he says,” she joked. “Didn’t you get enough to eat last night?”
I threw my head back and laughed. I’d created a monster, a sexy, soft-skinned monster that was slowly starting to straddle me.
“I’ll never get enough of you,” I said against her lips as she leaned down and started to kiss me.
Thirty minutes later, Tiny was beating on my wall and telling us to shut the fuck up. Two hours later, we were in my car headed to her house. She had on my clothes and wet hair from the shower. I was sure her screams combined with the bathroom acoustics left a fabulous impression on the people in the apartment next to us.
“Are you sure you don’t want me to go in with you?” I asked as I drove her to her house.
She needed clothes and girlie stuff and while she looked hotter than shit in my boxers and T-shirt, she couldn’t wear that stuff out.
“Yeah, I’m sure. I’m just going to run in, get some clothes and stuff, check on my mom, and then I’ll be right out. Fifteen minutes… tops.”
She gave me a sweet peck on the lips before she jumped out of my car and ran up the sidewalk to her front door. She disappeared inside the white mansion and I sat in my car listening to Radiohead and tapping the steering wheel.
I looked down at my radio clock and fifteen minutes later, she still hadn’t come out. I didn’t think anything of it, but once thirty minutes passed, I got out of my car and walked up to the front door. She’d told me to stay put, but something wasn’t right. She would have at least texted me and told me it would was going to be longer.
I knocked at the front door, but no one ever came.
