Kissed by a Crisis (Kissed Series Book 2 of 6)

Chapter 2: Tapes

Looking at me, Talion thinks for a moment and then says, "My brother let me back into your life because he needed an alibi. It all makes sense now. When we all got here to the house, Dan and I went to the barn to talk, remember. You had just kissed me, deeply, and I was still feeling this amazing high from holding you in my arms again."

He this with that smirk of his.

I reply, "Seriously, he threatened to kill me and my children if you didn't leave and now, he allows you to walk back into our lives?"

"Well, I think mom had a lot to do with allowing me to come, but I also believe he needed a cover. My brother did not seem that upset by the kiss, which seemed strange. Then, in the barn, he said that business had been really bad lately and that he had an important meeting this week with an influential customer. I assumed he meant a girl because, at the time, Lori and I thought Bridget was long gone. He kept her well-hidden from everyone, including our mother. Dan then said that he wanted me to take his place while he was gone, so I did. No questions asked, he said. My brother knew I'd do whatever he wanted, for my own selfish reasons. Oh, Cece, I shouldn't have done it, but I am not sorry that we were finally together again."

I start to say, "So, that was you and..."

"Yes, it was me making love to you, as often as I could. Cece, for ten fucking years I've been forced to stay away. You don't understand, I've been obsessed with you and I've been going through withdrawal for far too long. It was like allowing a hefty kid into a candy shop and saying eat whatever you want. Yes, I took advantage of the situation and made love to you over and over again, pleasuring you and bringing you as many orgasms as possible, for as long as I was able. How could I not, my love? I've been starving for so long and I need to feast on you and feel my wife's body against mine. Baby, I tried to be patient, to let you get used to me again, but I'll admit, I had a chance with you and took it. Please don't be mad, don't hate me, and don't shut me out. I'm begging you, Cecelia, because I love you." He says pleadingly.

Laying here quietly for a moment, I know what needs to be said, but I'm torn. If I say it out loud, this will all become real. Things may change, and I just don't know if I should show him my heart. As I lay on top of him quietly, he tickles my back.

Talion is worried, and I need answers.

Reaching up, I feel the cold hard metal in my hands; the rings are strong and now it's my turn. Cuffing Talion, he looks at me with surprised eyes.

Slipping him inside of me, I look into his eyes and say, "When you saw me in the tent, what thought went through your mind, I'm going to fuck her hard... or I'm going to make love to my wife? Be honest, Talion."

"Oh sweetheart, you know the answer and I made love to you." He says as I grind on him just one time, long and slow.

I ask while looking into his eyes, "When you left me with our babies, tell me how you felt?"

Talion answers, "As if someone had gutted me. I could not breathe. It was like I tore my own heart out and left it behind. Cece, I felt so lost without the three of you."

Again, I take him deep within me two more times.

Then I ask, "How often did you pleasure yourself, while thinking of me, Talion?"

"Honestly, every single time I'd see your beautiful face in my mind. Cece, I could almost hear your breathing, as I slid my hand up and down, moving faster and faster while picturing your eyes. Sometimes, I would picture us at that beach, on that giant blue blanket, as we made love while looking at the stars. It was our honeymoon and the very first time we were together. Often, I'd picture the day you found out we were pregnant. That evening, I took you out to dinner at La Chambre Rouge and we made love in the back of the mustang. God, you were so beautiful that night, and I was so ecstatic that you were having my baby. Yes, Cecelia, it's me and I'm not leaving you ever again." He says, as I lean down and we kiss more intensely than ever before.
