I leaned against the shower wall as the blood washed off of me. I kept my eyes open to avoid the images of my first day. Only one day had passed and it brought me back to three years ago. I heard the front door close and I remembered Ellie. Fuck. I completely forgot to contact her today. I knew she was with Cameron but I was so busy that I couldn't even think to do it. I hated this so much. I finished in the shower when I realized she didn't come to join me. I dried off and wrapped the towel around me to see her sitting on my bed waiting for me. She looked beautiful as always and her eyes were a bit glossy.
"Are you drunk?" I asked her and she rolled her eyes
"I don't hear from you all day after you said nothing about leaving out this morning and you're worried about me being drunk right now?" She said
"I told him no parties" I said and she leaned her head to the side
"You asked him to watch me?" She stood up looking pissed at me
I cursed myself.
"Darling-" I started"Go to hell Miles" She said going into the bathroom slamming the door behind her
Little did she know I was already in hell. I changed into my pajama pants sitting in the bed waiting for her to come back out. About thirty minutes later she came out in a towel and I felt myself get excited. I tossed aside any images that went through my head.
"Ellie come here" I said and she ignored me looking for a shirt to put on "I won't say it again."
She stopped and turned around looking at me only to flip me off. My jaw clenched and I stood up picking her up and throwing her onto the bed gently. I crawled onto of her and pinned her hands above her head while I straddled her waist carefully not to crush her. She stared at me pissed.
"I know you're pissed. I'm sorry. I should've called. There's no excuse for that. I did ask Cameron to keep an eye out for you, not babysit you. I took on a new job that's gonna require me to be outside rather than working in the house like you're used to, but I will communicate with you always. I'm sorry I didn't." I said
"What job?" She asked
"It's freelance work." I lied and she nodded
"Why didn't you tell me?" She asked
"I didn't want you to think bad of me." I said and she shook her head
"Never that Miles. I couldn't" She said and I stared at her kissing her on her lips and she kissed me back the best she could with my hands wrapped around her wrists pinned to the bed.
"Now did he take you to a party?" I asked pissed
"Not technically. We went to Christian and Lauren's house." She said and I let her go
She sat up and made me look at her. "What's wrong?" She asked
"I forgot that was today. I wanted to take you. Cameron took you there? He never goes to anything like that. Why now ?" I asked mainly to myself
"Are you mad?" She asked
"I'm pissed. Not at you. Him. He took my girlfriend to meet my friends without me." I said feeling the weight of it all once I said it
Guilt flashed in her stare. "I didn't know where we were going before we got in the car. I'm sorry." She said
I shook my head. "No it's alright. I should've been there Ellie. When you met Angela and Lauren. I know you missed having girlfriends and I knew you'd like the girls. I was going to surprise you and let you see the lake house and how beautiful the sun looks over the lake. I..I completely forgot about it and now I can't give that to you." I said but she made me look at her
"Miles you've given me so much already. I know it didn't go how you expected it to but this doesn't change the way I feel about you or make me love you any less. It shows me that you're human and you make mistakes too. God I've made a lot of mistakes and I feel so terrible in comparison to you Miles but things like this make me realize that we are the same. I love you so much. Please don't dwell on this." She said and I kissed her on her lips laying her back in the bed
She didn't know. She had no idea that I was far from perfect. I wasn't the good guy. I never was and after this deal I never will be. If she finds out who I was..who I am, she'll run for the hills and I can't even fathom the possibility of losing her.
I pulled the towel off her and pulled myself out my pajama pants. I spread her legs open and sank into her hard. She wrapped her freed arms around my neck as I pushed into her forcefully.
"You are mine" I said "all mine"
She moaned my name and I almost came. This time was hard and filled with passion as I kissed down her neck.
"Miles you're so fucking deep" She moaned as I felt her get wetter around me. I pounded into her and I knew I hit her spot when her eyes rolled back into her head.
"Don't stop" she whisperedI kept going faster feeling myself come undone as well. But I waited for her playing with her clit and she started shaking underneath me.
"Darling you're so wet around me. So tight. You're perfect like you were made for me. This pussy is so wet for me. It wants to drain everything out of me. I'm going to let it baby you hear me?" I asked and she looked at me nodding
"Come for me Miles" that was all she had to say and with one last thrust I was slumped over her spilling into her while I twitched. She kissed my neck running fingers through my hair.
"The next time I go to Lauren and Christian's house, I want you to be the one to take me." She said and I smiled at her kissing her on the lips
I wish everything could be so simple. I miss holding her like this being with her. I miss being around her and it's only been one day. She grounded me from all the darkness that I dealt with in the day. I pulled out of her and she moaned.
"I'm going to shower once again" she said sitting up and I pulled her into me
"I love you Ellie. You have no idea how much." I said and she looked into my eyes. I saw the concern in her eyes.
"Is everything okay baby?" she asked and I nodded
"It will be" I said kissing her on the lips "hurry back so I can hold you please"
She got up reluctantly and rushed to the bathroom. I laid there staring at the ceiling wondering how I had to do this for three years. I was scared I'd lose it like before but it wasn't about me. None of this was about me. It was about protecting the love of my life from harms way and I'd choose to face my own darkness every single second of the day to make sure that Ellie is well and safe.
