“Ari, this will be the first time we stay here in this house as an engaged couple. ”
I was hoping that would have at least made her smile. Instead, she just pushed back away from me and stared at me. What the hell is going on? Her eyes looked so…lost.
Just then, the corners of her mouth started to move up, and she gave me her beautiful smile that always took my breath away. She stepped closer to me, and I leaned down to capture her mouth with mine. She kissed me back with so much passion that my knees just about buckled.
She slowly pulled away from me as she looked at me. She had tears streaming down her face. I reached up my hands to cup her face as I used my thumbs to wipe her tears away.
“Will you please make love to me, Jeff?” Ari whispered.
I never in my life could love this girl more than I did right now. As much as I knew I was hurting her, I was still the one she wanted to help her forget and feel better.
I couldn’t even find my voice to speak. I reached down and scooped her up in my arms. She leaned her head into my chest as I made our way into the house.
I thanked God that I’d gone ahead and put fresh sheets on our bed earlier today. Josh had given me hell about it the whole time. The last thing I’d wanted was for Ari to be searching through all the boxes for clean sheets.
As I stepped into our room, still holding Ari in my arms, I heard the moment when she let out a gasp. She wasn’t prepared to have our room all set up and ready. I softly laid her down on top of the quilt that Emma had made for us.
As I pushed Ari’s beautiful hair back behind her ears, I leaned down to whisper in her ear.
“You’re so beautiful, Ari. I love you so much. ”
She closed her eyes briefly. When she opened them again, I could see the moonlight from the window sparkling in her eyes.
I slowly pulled her up to me as I started to kiss her. The moment she bit down on my lower lip, I let out moan. She sat up on her knees on the bed and started to take off my shirt. We only broke our kiss long enough for me to get my shirt off. As I removed her shirt, she placed both of her hands on chest, and then slowly started to push me down onto the bed. Her whole body was shaking, making me wonder if she was nervous or just cold.
I watched her face as she started to unbutton my jeans with that damn smile of hers. I would do anything she asked me to do just that smile. I lifted my hips up off the bed as she began to take my pants off.
Her head snapped up at me and she raised her eye brows. “Commando, huh?”
I just laughed as I pulled her down on top of me. I rolled her over and started to slide off her shorts. I sat up and stared at her. God, her body is amazing. She was wearing a pair of pink lace thongs with a matching bra. I couldn’t take my eyes off of her. I looked up at her perfect chest and moved my eyes down until they landed on her panties. I softly moved my hands up her legs. The moment my hands touched her, she jumped and got goose bumps.
“Ari, are you feeling up to this, baby?”
“Jeff…please don’t stop! Please. ”
I started to pull down her panties and off her legs when my fucking cell phone rang. Motherfucker! Are you kidding me?
I ignored it, and I made a mental note to get my fucking phone number changed. I wasn’t even sure if Ari noticed the phone ringing because she didn’t move or make a sound. I reached over and turned on my iPod.
I leaned down and started to kiss the inside of her thigh. She let out the most amazing moan I’d ever heard. I wanted to taste her so fucking bad.
I moved up to between her thighs and quickly took her in my mouth. She grabbed my hair and pushed me in closer. The sounds that she was making were driving me crazy. I placed two fingers inside her, and her whole body jerked up. Then, I placed another finger inside, and she started to call out my name.
I stopped kissing her after she seemed like she was coming down from her orgasm. I placed soft kisses all along her hips, moving up to her stomach, until I came face to face with her. The love I saw in her eyes was amazing. She seemed to be glowing. She let a small smile play across her face before she moved quickly, flipping me over. She was now sitting on top of me with a devilish grin on her face.
“It’s my turn to be in control, baby,” she said as she aimed her hips on top of mine.
The moment she sank down on me, I felt like I was going to lose control. I ran my hands up and down her body. With each motion, she about killed me with her moans of pleasure.
“Jesus, Ari, you feel so good. ”
She threw her body back, and before I knew it, she was calling out my name again. This time, I lost all control and came right along with her.
She laid her head on my chest, trying to catch her breath.
“I love you, Jeff. You have to know how much I love you. ” She slowly looked up at me.
Son of a bitch. She was crying again. It felt like someone had just kicked me in the stomach. Just then, Maroon 5’s “Wipe Your Eyes” started to play. Perfect fucking song. I wiped off the tears from her face as she smiled at me. My heart shattered into a million pieces. She was hurting, and I couldn’t fix it. She put her head on my chest.
