if it all happened in the past. I would take the brunt of the wrath before I let anything happen to her.
“I want to tell you everything,” she said, pulling me from my thoughts and stepped into the elevator. “But I need you to have patience with me.”
Patience. That was one thing I never had. I searched her face. Her teeth grazed over her bottom lip, nipping the soft skin that I wanted to bite.
A shiver of desire raced through the pit of my gut, flowing to the tip of my dick.
Once the doors closed, I was on her. Forcing Mae against the wall, I lifted her. Crashing my lips to hers, I swallowed her gasp. A growl rumbled from my chest, my hips pushing hard into hers. I didn’t know what was going on. It was highly inappropriate but at that point, I didn’t care. Having an outer body experience, I could see myself taking control from Mae. My hands roamed. My fingers massaged.
Her nails dug into my nape, pulling at my hair and forced my head back.
The doors dinged open in time or I would have fucked her in the elevator, not caring in the least if anyone walked in.
I placed her back on her feet, taking note of the flush in her cheeks and the swollen pout of her mouth.
Her breathing ragged, her eyes bright with arousal, she walked past me.
Inhaling deep, the scent of her sweet perfume wafted into my nostrils.
I followed her out into the hall, watching her.
Sashaying her hips, she glanced back at me, licking her lips.
My cock lengthened to the point of painful. Grabbing my keys, I tossed them to her, needing some sort of distraction.
Mae raised an eyebrow.
“Unlock my door, unless you want me to fuck out here,” I said, taking a step towards her.
“Is that what you want?” she asked, her cheeks turning pink.
“I’m not into public humiliation but if you are, I’d be happy to accommodate.” Pulling my tie loose, I unbuttoned the top three buttons.
Mae watched the movement, her nostrils flaring. “I…” She continued walking backward until she reached the door.
“Mae, I suggest hurrying up because once I catch you, no matter where we are, I will fuck you. I will bury myself so deep inside of you, forcing a scream to leave your lips.”
“We need to talk,” she said softly, her hand fluttering to her throat.
“We do. But we both know you’d rather feel my cock moving inside of you,” I drawled out, sauntering towards her. “Isn’t that right, Mae? You’d rather have me fuck you than tell me how you feel.”
“I want to forget. I don’t want to be reminded of what happened to me in my past.” She unlocked the door, backing up into my apartment but kept her gaze locked with mine.
“And you think I do?” I demanded, a little more harshly than I would have liked. “You practically forced answers from me. You needed so desperately to find out what was going on inside of my head when I was only trying to protect you.”
“Protect me from what?”
“Me!” I shouted, banging my fist against the wall. A sharp pain shot up my forearm but I ignored it. “I have nightmares and one day they will consume me if I’m not careful. That’s why I never have women spend the night with me.”
“What are you talking about?” Mae frowned. “I’ve spent many nights with you and you’ve never hurt me.”
Scrubbing a hand down my face, I took another breath, remembering the many sleepless nights. I should have been used to them. “That’s because I don’t sleep. I hold you. I watch you. I listen to the peaceful sounds of your breathing because it’s the only thing that keeps me fucking calm.” I realized then that was the truth as soon as the words left my lips. Her curled up beside me, snuggling against me was the only constant thing in my life.
“I’m not going anywhere, Matteo.” Mae headed down the hall. “Take a shower with me,” she called out, stopping at the door to the bathroom. Pulling the straps of her dress down her arms, she shimmied out of the fabric, letting it pool at her feet.
My dick jumped at the sight before me.
Mae’s eyes twinkled in the dim lighting of the hallway. So many words went unspoken. I needed her. In ways I never understood until now. And I still didn’t quite understand them completely. Walls had been built up around myself so long
