Betrayal

Chapter 48

Warren

Her apartment has incredible lighting. The early morning light is coming in through the windows above her bed, illuminating her and her bedroom.

I've raised up onto my elbow and am peering over at her. She looks so beautiful when she's sleeping. I'm mesmerized. Her lips are parted slightly and plump. Her hair is a thick wave on the pillow. I study her profile. She's so god damn beautiful. I can't believe I'm here with her in her bed. It doesn't feel real.

I have to piss, but I don't want to get out of bed. I don't want to wake her up. I just want to stay like this. I lie back down, move closer to her, and tighten my grip around her body.

For a while she was facing me, but turned over after she fell asleep. I held her like this all night. I didn't want to let go. I still don't. I know we'll have to get up soon. I have surgeries scheduled this afternoon and I'm sure she has class. It's going to be agonizing  to have to wait to see her again.

But she's giving me a chance. She wants to try it with me. I just can't fucking believe it. She loves me. We're going to be together. I'll figure everything else out, but we're going to fucking be together.

I look at my watch. It's early still, only nine. I'd rather stay here all day and be with her, doing whatever she'd like. It took everything in me not to fuck her. Right now her ass is pressed snuggly against my cock and the only thing separating us is my briefs. She said she wasn't ready, so I can wait.

Our relationship before was centered around sex and fucking and finding time to fuck, sneaking to fuck, hiding, meeting at hotels. Fuck, fuck, fuck. It isn't going to be like that. I want to wine and dine her, spoil her, show her how much I love her in more ways than just being inside of her and making her come. She deserves that.

I pull the comforter back slightly and sigh as I stare down at her body. Her back is so slim and her ass is such a perfect shape. Just like I remember it. The only thing that's different about her is that she's thinner.

I'm winding myself up and drop the comforter. She begins to stir. One of her hands grips mine and she slowly rolls onto her back, turns over, and nestles her face to my chest. I sigh and kiss her hair and grip her body tightly. After a moment she looks up at me. I smile warmly and push her hair off of her forehead, then kiss it.

"Good morning," I whisper.

"Good morning."

"Sleep well?"

"Very well," she mumbles lowly. "Best I've slept in a while, actually."

"Me, too."

The cat suddenly jumps on the bed and climbs over my body. I laugh and roll onto my back. She's meowing and purrs when I pet her, then goes to Ali.

"She usually sleeps in the bed with me."

"I hope she'll forgive me for taking her spot."

She laughs and we both pet her at the same time.

"She might."

I stare over at her as she focuses on Snowball until her eyes catch mine.

"What is it?"
