After Forever & Ever

After Never Chapter 24

Tessa-Present

Driving back to my apartment I have a billion thoughts going through my head.

Tonight was an absolute whirlwind and I can say with 100% certainty I didn't have Hardin agreeing to come home with me on my bingo card.

In fact I thought for sure when I lost him at the hospital that was it, he was gone.

But when we were on our way home and Kim texted that Hardin was home. I made sure to get us there faster. Made sure we could be there before he decided to leave.

Even though ultimately that was still the decision he made. Which wasn't surprising to me.

And even though he was a complete asshole to me, and said what he said I knew I had to agree to drive him. Because in my heart I believed I could get him to stay.

Or I prayed that I could. Because I knew if I let him leave there was no guarantee I'd ever get him back.

And I know how unfair it is of me because of Easton. But I wasn't willing to let that be the reason I let him go.

So here we are about to walk into my apartment and before I open the door. Hardin pushes me against the door and starts kissing me.

I feel his one hand pressing against my low back while the other hand is pressed against the door next to my head.

We stop long enough for me to open my door. And when we walk in...Alex is lying on the couch...and is woken up by the sound of us coming in.

Damnit...I think to myself.

"You're home late..."she says to me.

"Yea...I guess I am." I decide to respond continuing to walk towards my room and motioning for Hardin to follow in which he does.

We get in my room and I close the door.

He takes a second and looks around the room before he plops on my bed.

"I like your room." He tells me.

"I like it too." I reply as I walk towards my bed.

He puts his hand out so I grab it and he pulls me on top of him. Which forces my dress to ride up...since I never got the chance to change and have been wearing this lacy dress all day.

I lean down and start kissing him again. Kissing him is euphoric and a feeling I really can't describe.

And I don't want it to stop. I want to stay like this. In this moment and never let it go. Never let him go...

He moves me off of him, so now he's on top of me and he moves my dress up even further. Reaching to the sides of me to grab my panties. He starts pulling them off of me as he continues to kiss me.

He slowly moves his hand towards me, taking one finger and gently moving it in and out. Until one becomes two. And as he's doing that I have taken my hand and moved it inside his pants. Moving my hand up and down around his hard cock.

"I want you." I whisper to him.

"How do you want me babe?" He says which forces my heart to skip a beat.

"Inside of me." I whisper back.

He stops kissing me and moves his hand to his pocket pulling his wallet out. He's looking through his wallet and isn't pulling anything out.

"I don't have a condom..." he tells me.

I hate the thought that comes through knowing he used it with someone else. That he was with someone else...
