Never forget you

Chapter 45: Skye

When I woke up this morning I was nicely surprised at the feeling of Knight's arms wrapped around me. Holding me close as his face hid against the juncture of my neck. I slightly gasped, still shocked that he not only brought me to bed but stayed the entire night with me. Wrapped around me.

Ever the lady I pushed him off me before climbing onto of him in a straddle laughing. He gripped my hips letting out a husky, "Good morning." I smiled at the sound, relishing in everything that he was giving me. His bed head, his sleepy voice, his warmth. My heart pounded inside of my chest as butterflies fluttered throughout my body. I was in heaven, that is until I remembered that it was morning and my Aunt was downstairs. My eyes widened to the point of dinner plates making Knight laugh. He must of read my mind because he slid his hand up to my face, cupping my cheek and bringing me down toward his lips before saying, "She already knows I'm here."

My shocked gasp was swallowed with his kiss. His tongue swept into my mouth making me moan and roll my hips onto his growing erection. Knight flipped me over onto my back, nestling between my legs before pulling back to look at me. His eyes roamed my face turning my insides to liquid. God, he was gorgeous. In a low voice he said, "You look so damn beautiful in the morning. Under me. Like this." His breathing kicked up as his hands roamed up and down my sides as his eyes traced over every inch of my body.

Thighs tightening around his waist Knight groaned before leaning down to kiss me again giving me a kiss so brutal and hot that I wanted nothing more than for him to fuck me senseless. But he had more self control than I did because he broke us apart again before quickly hopping off the bed and readjusting himself.

Letting out a heavy sigh he reached his hand down for me to take and pulled me up off the bed. Giving me a chaste kiss he smacked my ass whispering in my ear, "Go take a shower and get ready. I gotta run home and change before class."

I smiled at him, gave him another quick kiss and headed toward the bathroom. Before I made it very far Knight said. "Oh! What are you doing tonight?"

My eyebrow quirked up as I thought. "Nothing, was probably going to have Lila over to hang. Why what's up?"

He smiled. "Can you reschedule with her?"

"Why?" I dragged out the word which only caused him to smile more.

"Be ready at seven. Wear a dress and heels." He turned to walk away with his sexy smirk before spinning back around again. "Oh, and wear your hair down." When I raised an eyebrow he laughed. "That was I have something to hold onto when I kiss the living shit out of you later."

I laughed before shaking my head and making my way to the bathroom. The second I shut the door behind me my heart fell to the floor and my breathing kicked into overdrive. I smiled feeling giddy and completely out of my element. I was going on a date with Knight Thomas tonight. My Knight. And I couldn't be more fucking scared in my entire life.

...

When I went downstairs after getting ready for school Aunt Lacey had a huge grin on her face that she could barely hide with her coffee cup in front of her face. My eyes narrowed. Letting out a breath as I put my bread in the toaster I asked, "Okay, just say it."

"Say what?"

"Oh, don't play coy. You know what."

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Mhmm." I rolled my eyes smiling when I turned around to look at her putting a piece of toast in my mouth.

"But..."

"And here it comes."

"Hey!" She acted offended but we both laughed before she continued. "But, he's some fine piece of man."

"Aunt Lacey!" My mouth gaped open and a piece of toast almost fell out of my mouth.

She laughed. "What? I'm just saying that if I was your age I think I would have done some terrible terrible things to that boy. And by terrible I mean some really naughty amazing things."

I choked on my toast having to walk over to the sink to swallow down some water before she had to hop up off her stool and give me the Heimlich.

"Um...okay. I have no idea what to say." I had to blink a few times, continuing to swallow and make sure there was nothing in my mouth for the next words that were bound to come out of her mouth and shock me stupid.

Aunt Lace got up from her stool, dropping her coffee on the counter and walked over to me gripping my shoulders. "Look, all I'm saying is is that I think you've found someone who really cares about you and I am so ridiculously happy for you."

My eyebrows pinched together. "Knight said that you knew he was here?"

"Yeah. We had a little chat."

Eyes widening I asked, "About what?"

She laughed. "You of course. I had to give him the 'if you hurt her I'll kill you' talk."

I laughed shaking my head. "Oh my God. What did he say?"

She smiled. "That you would probably kill him before I got the chance."

My smile beamed from me because that couldn't have been a better answer. And anymore true. I probably would kill him before anyone else could. I grabbed my stuff before giving Lacey a hug. "Thanks."

"Of course. You don't have to thank me, baby girl," she grabbed my cheeks so that I could look up at her, "I know I'm not your mom, or your dad for that matter, but you're mine, Skye. Okay? And I will always take care of you like I gave birth to you myself. I love you."

Tears gathered at my lashes as I nodded up at her before squeezing her in a tight hug. "I love you, too, Aunt Lacey."

She kissed the top of my head before gently pushing me off of her. "Now get going or you'll be late."

I laughed, nodding. "Alright. See you later. Oh. I'm going out tonight with Knight. Is that okay?"

She beamed. "Yeah I know. He asked if he could take you out."

I blanched. "What?"

She laughed. "See you later. Have fun tonight!"

I walked to my car in a haze of happiness and shock that he actually went through the trouble of checking with my Aunt that it was okay for me to go out tonight. I smiled as I got into my car the buzzing feeling of adrenaline filling me as I thought about what the day had in store for me.
