Inevitable

Chapter 55

I knew what that meant. And my stomach clenched at the thought of it. There wasn't anything I wanted more at that moment. I grabbed his hand and led him up the stairs and into the first guest bedroom. He closed and locked the door behind us.

"I dreamed about being with you all summer Em. I plan on taking my time."

Just his words almost made me combust. I didn't care what this meant or what was going to happen tomorrow. All I cared about was being here with him in this moment. I had become numb over the past two months and he was the only one who could make me feel something again.

He came and stood in front of me. I reached up and placed my hand on his chest. I missed feeling his hard muscles and his heartbeat underneath. It was beating as fast as mine. He took one of the straps of my dress and slipped it down off my shoulder. He then leaned down and left a trail of kisses starting at my shoulder and moving up my neck and stopping at the spot under my ear. It literally made me weak in the knees and he grabbed my waist to keep me upright. It had been so long since he kissed my body. I almost couldn't handle it.
     After he was done, he moved to the other side and did the exact same thing. At this point, I was grabbing his shirt and moaning his name. It felt like he was teasing me. Two can play that game. I grabbed the bottom of his shirt and pulled it over his head. I started softly kissing his chest and slowly worked my way down his stomach. When I got to his pants, I kneeled down and pulled down the zipper. I yanked them down his legs along with his underwear. He already had an erection. I took him in my mouth and heard him let out a groan. I was glad I could still do that to him. I moved my head back and forth and sucked lightly. I didn't want to make him finish. Just really get him worked up. He pulled me off and grabbed my shoulders to make me stand again.

"I want to come inside you."

He finished pulling my dress off and then my bra. He brought his mouth down to my nipple and lightly bit down. I felt it between my legs. He then started flicking with his tongue. His hands managed to pull my underwear down. I felt a finger slip inside of me and I threw my head back at how good it felt. He slowly moved his finger in and out while sucking on my nipple. It was sensory overload. He lifted his head up to my mouth and his tongue was back in my mouth. He started to back me up until I felt the bed behind me. He turned us around and sat down on the bed. He grabbed his pants and pulled out the condom. After it was on, he laid back and pulled me down on top of him. I lowered myself down and we both let out groans of pleasure. It had been too long since I felt him inside of me. I started crying at how good he felt.
    I started rolling my hips slowly. I wanted to feel all of him. And I didn't want it to end.

"I love you Em."

His words meant everything to me. He still loved me the way I still loved him. It was crazy to think we could ever be apart.

"I love you Henry."

I started to move a little faster and I could feel myself start to tense up. I kissed him hard and my whole body exploded. He came right after me with a long groan. I didn't realize that I was still crying. I buried my face in his neck so he wouldn't see my tears. I laid there until my heartbeat finally started to slow down. I went to move off of Henry but he held me in place.

"Not yet."

I laid my head on his chest and listened to his heart. I still had his heart. And he still had mine. I was so happy. I thought I would never have a connection like this with anyone ever again. And I thought I had lost it. But we were getting another chance to start over. And I wasn't going to mess it up again.
    We laid there for a while. I think we were both afraid to face reality. In this room, nothing could touch us. All our problems seemed to pop up when we brought other people into the mix. We were going to have to go downstairs and let everyone know we were back together. I wondered how Jess was going to react. She acted like she was mad at Henry but she's the one who talked me into going to see him tonight.
My head started to spin thinking about what this meant. Henry was still going to be traveling the rest of the summer. And I would go home and back to my boring life without him. Nothing had really changed about our situation. I didn't want to be away from him for the next six weeks. We had already spent so much time apart. I didn't want to go back to that.

"Hey, I can feel you tensing up. What's wrong?"

I crawled off of him and laid down next to him on my side. He rolled over to face me and brought his hand to my face. I leaned into his palm.

"How is this going to work? We still have all the same issues as before. Can we make long distance work?"

"I know babe. But right now I'm just so happy to be here with you. I don't even want to tell you how hard the past couple of months have been. I missed you so much. I need you to know that I haven't been with anyone else since we broke up. I could only think of you and how much I wanted you back. When I heard you were coming tonight, I thought maybe there was a chance you felt the same way. But it was weird outside the club. I thought maybe you just wanted to be friends. When you said you missed me too, I was happier than I've been in a long time. This whole summer it's felt like something was missing and I knew it was you. I need you in my life Em. Whatever I have to do to make this work, I'll do it. Whatever it takes."
