Our Secret To Keep.

Chapter Fifty-Six - I Didn't Expect It

Kade

Blythe and I rush back to my place as torrential rain pours from the sky. We are soaked to the skin, but we are still laughing. The rain doesn't matter. It isn't spoiling our good mood or the happy moment we shared only minutes ago. The moment turned out better than I could ever have imagined. I honestly thought that the second the words escaped my lips and Blythe didn't respond, I had ruined everything. I didn't expect her to come after me. I am glad she did. It felt like a scene from one of those romantic movies. I didn't believe moments like those existed in real life.

Keeping a firm grip on her hand, I lead us into my building and straight to my place. The door isn't locked. We hurried out, and it was the last thing on our minds.

"I am freezing, but it was completely worth it," Blythe giggles as I close the door behind us.

"Yes, it was," I agree, chuckle, and turn to face her.

I groan instantly because now that we're in a lit room, I can see her wet clothes clinging to her body. My tongue brushes my lips as I observe her from head to toe.

Blythe moves closer to me, a smirk curling on her lips. "Are you enjoying the view?" she asks, wrapping her arms around my neck and pressing her body firmly against mine.

"Mmm, yes. We really should get out of these wet clothes before we catch a cold," I rasp, running my hands over her hips, around to her ass and squeezing it.

Blythe emits a gentle moan. "I was thinking the same." She purrs before pressing her lips to mine.

I respond immediately with a kiss. We quickly start removing each other's wet clothes, tossing them aside. Our desire for one another is clear. Soon, we're only in our underwear. I slide my hands under her thighs and lift her. Blythe wraps her arms and legs around me tightly as I carry her over to the sofa, sitting her on its back. I settle between her legs.

Running my hands over her knees and thighs, she suddenly winces, prompting me to pull back. It becomes clear she's in pain as I notice her knees are cut and bruised, with blood stains on her legs that seem to have dripped from the wounds.

"Blythe, what happened?" I ask, concerned.

She looks at her knee. "Oh, right, I fell when I came after you. I forgot until now," she laughs.

She glances at her elbows, noticing they are the same as her knees. It must have been a bad fall.

I shake my head. "You are such a klutz. Even when I am not around, you are still falling for me," I chuckle.

"Yet you still love me..." she says brightly.

I smile from ear to ear and nod eagerly. "Yes, I do."

It is amazing to have my real feelings out in the open. I peck her lips before I take a couple of steps back from her.

Blythe tugs at the band of my boxers and brings me back to her. "Where are you going? We are just getting started."

"And we will continue after I take care of your cuts and bruises. I promise." I kiss her forehead before disappearing towards the bathroom for the first-aid kit.

I hear Blythe huff and groan from behind me, not happy with my choice. I chuckle and stroll into the bathroom. The woman has no patience. I need her as badly as she needs me, but I want to take care of everything else first. It will be our first time together, sexually, since we said I love you. It is a special, important moment, and I don't want anything to get in the way of it. I want it to be perfect.

I grab the kit and return to the living room. Blythe has moved from the back of the sofa to sit on the cushion to wait for me. I make my way over and try not to get too distracted by her half-naked body. Something that is easier said than done.

"Make it quick because I am throbbing and wet for you. Don't make me wait too long," she whispers, low and seductively.

My cock throbs in my boxers with her words. "You are not helping matters. Please try to behave and keep your naughty words to yourself until I am done."

She snickers and nods. "Yes, sir. I will do my best."

I do my best to stay composed as I begin cleaning her, starting with her knees. I aim to do it quickly but thoroughly. I swear I can feel the heat emanating from between her thighs, clearly indicating she's turned on—and so am I. I can't wait to sink deep inside her.

I ensure her knees and elbows are clean. Suddenly, Blythe reaches out and caresses my cheek, catching my attention.

A smile tugs at her lips. "You always take such good care of me. I really do love you, Kade."

I close my eyes and relax into her touch. "I will always protect you. I love you as well, my beautiful."

I gently kiss her, and she smiles into my lips. The moment is brief before we part and resume what we were doing. I will never tire of hearing her say those words to me, and I hope I never do.

"All done," I say with a smile.

"Good! Now, lead me to the bedroom. I need you, my love, more than I ever have before."

I stand, offering her my hand. She takes it, and I help her up. "I plan on it."

I guide her to my bedroom, eager for us to deepen our connection. I have a strong feeling that it will feel different. From this moment on, everything will change. There are no more secrets between us when it comes to our feelings. It will make everything so much better. It has been such a long time since I have been in love, but I am excited to see how it goes, nervous too.
