Oh. My. God! His kiss was my undoing. I had never felt so much emotion in just a single kiss. I wrapped my arms around his necked and prayed to God he would never let me go. When he picked me up I thought I was going to explode. I could not help the small moan that escaped from my mouth. I wanted to stay in this moment for the rest of my life.

Then I felt his erection. I could no longer doubt that this boy did indeed want me. Shit…I was going to owe Ari that purse. I had felt Ryan’s erection plenty of times but it never had this kind of an effect on me.  The throbbing ache in-between my legs was driving me crazy. I needed relief and was not sure how to get it.

We pulled away from the kiss at the same time. I could hardly catch my breath. My chest must have been heaving up and down because he looked down at it and quickly looked into my eyes. We stood there and looked into each other’s eyes for what seemed like forever. I never ever wanted to forget this moment. I needed to lock it away so that I could pull it out anytime I needed it.

I was scared to death to say anything. That had been one of the most amazing moments of my life. I have felt more alive with Gu

The warm sensation that was still traveling through my body caused me to smile. I needed him to know how he had just made me feel. As soon as I smiled up at him, he smiled that damn crooked smile back at me. I never in my life felt the desire I was feeling right now. If we had been alone somewhere I might not have been able to stop, I would have wanted more of him. I KNOW I would not have been able to stop. I felt the blush creep up into my cheeks for the thoughts I was having. Gu

“I love to see you blush Ellie. You’re the most beautiful thing I have ever laid eyes on.” Gu

Oh wow! Ohhh……I mean…..wow……….Okay…….Breathe Ellie….that was the most beautiful thing anyone has ever said to me.

I let out a small laugh and looked down. “Um, thank you Gu

He put his finger under my chin and lifted my face up towards him. “Well that is a damn shame because I’ve wanted to tell you that all day.” He reached down and kissed me softly one more time then said against my lips…..

”Shall we head over to Ari’s house now? I’m sure Jeff is waiting for you.”

Wait…Jefferson was at Ari’s house?

“Jefferson is at Ari’s house? Well that should be interesting the two of them together….alone. They will kill each other!” I said with a laugh as Gu

Was I some kind of challenge for him?

No, I really didn’t think so but….I was going to keep my guard up that was for sure. I would not allow myself to be hurt again. I’d been hurt enough to last me a life time.

I literally felt like I was walking on cloud nine all the way back to the truck. I kept looking up at Gu

He picked up my right hand. It was not nearly as swollen as it had been. He gently brought it up to his mouth and kissed it. I smiled at him and wondered what type of a family he came from. His mother sure did raise this boy right! I loved that he had kissed my body three different times in the last few minutes. I loved how his lips felt against my skin. I would forever long for his kisses now.

“How does your hand feel sweetheart? Do you need to take a pain pill?” Gu

Oh yes, a girl could get very use to this if she let he guard down which I was NOT going to do.

“I had forgotten all about it until just now!”

Gu

God, with what just happened between Gu

Gu

“What a perfect song.” He said as he reached over and took my hand. Gu

Here I thought just thirty seconds ago was the happiest I had ever been….now I was really floating on cloud nine! I could not tear my eyes away from him, he was singing along to the song and my heart just dropped into my stomach. This guy was too good to be true. If I was not careful I might start falling in love with him…….or maybe it was too late…………………

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

Gu

I couldn’t believe it when Ne-Yo’s song started to play. Talk about perfect fucking timing. This was turning out to be the best goddamn day of my life. I was still flying from the kiss Ellie and I shared. By the way Ellie had been smiling the last hour I would say her mother and what happened earlier this afternoon was far from her mind.

Jeff sent me a text letting me know he was going to meet us at Ari’s once he was able to leave work but I needed to make one more stop now to pick up Ellie’s graduation gift. We bought some waters at the store so she could take her pain meds. I looked over at her and she looked tired, poor thing must be emotionally exhausted. It looked like she was fighting to keep her eyes open.

I pulled up and parked outside of James Avery. I saw Ellie tense up out of the corner of my eye. I knew what she was probably thinking. It had to be ru

“You want to run in with me or wait out here?” I asked hoping that by me inviting her in it would ease her mind….or….it might make her think I was a totally dick for buying another girl jewelry and asking her to come in while I bought it. Fuck me…..

“Um, no that’s okay. I’m going to give Jefferson a call. I can’t imagine what must be going on with him and Ari alone in her house!”

“Alright, give me two minutes then!” I said as I tried to give her a reassuring smile. She smiled back at me but the smile looked forced, not happy like it had just a little bit ago. SHIT!

“Ellie…….I’m not buying jewelry for another girl. I want you to know that okay?” I said as I placed my hand along the side of her precious face. How can one girl get in my heart and latch onto it this fast and this hard?

Ellie smiled a bit bigger and I saw her body relax just a little.
