Forbidden Forever (31 page)

She pulled away from me
slowly. "Sorry about your shirt," she whispered.

I pulled her chin up
with my thumb and forefinger so that she was looking me in the eye,
"Are you okay? Do you want to talk about it?"

She shook her head no.
"I feel like such a baby. It was years ago, I should be able to
talk about it."

"Is there something
in particular that upset you?" I asked softly as I pulled her
back into my chest as I slowly rubbed my hand up and down her back.

"Not really, it's
just…" she sniffled.

"What baby, what
happened?

"It's just family
dinners. I miss those, Gran is all I have left and her health is
failing and I'm here when I should be with her. She is all that I
have in this world."

I couldn't find words
through the lump in my throat. My only reply was to pull her tighter.
As I did she in turn wrapped her arms tighter around my waist. After
getting my emotions under control, I pulled away from her and cupped
her face in my hands. I wiped her tears away with my thumbs. "You
are amazing, you have so many people who love you, Aiden, his parents
and Hailey. My parents adore you." I swallowed back my emotions.
"You have me," I whispered never tearing my eyes from hers.

"Liam," she
murmured.

Her plea sent me over
the edge I slowly brought her face to mine as I leaned down. I stared
at her lips and then back to her eyes letting her know my intent. I
needed to kiss her more than I needed my next breath. I waited, as my
intentions set in, I could see when understanding flashed across her
face, she licked her lips. I leaned a little closer, closing the
space between us. Hesitating, giving her the opportunity to stop me,
she didn't.

When my lips touched
hers I felt the tremor in my hands that were gently holding her close
to me. She must have felt it to because she placed her hands over
mine as I continued to caress her cheeks while I kissed her. I felt
her open her mouth and I slipped my tongue inside. The taste of her
on my tongue caused me to release a deep moan, as I did Allison
slowed the kiss and rested her forehead against mine.

"Liam."

"Mmm," I was
again at a loss for words. I have kissed hundreds of girls and not
once did any of those kisses elicit that kind of reaction from me. I
have never in my life felt this kind of connection with any other
human being.

"What are we
doing?"

I kissed her forehead as
I pulling back to look her in the eye. "I was kissing the most
amazing girl I have ever met." I needed her to know that she was
different.

She blushed "I want
more Liam. Not that I expect a proposal next week but you've already
made it clear that you won't make a commitment, so what are we
doing?"

I shook my head and
pulled her to my chest. "I don't know baby. All that I can tell
you is that kiss was incomparable to anything I have ever felt. You
wreck me, you know that?" I asked searching her face for
understanding.

"Well, since that
was officially my first kiss, I don't have anything to compare it to,
but this feeling" she grabbed my hand and laid it over her
heart. "This connection that makes my heart race is uncharted
waters for me. I wish that I could hold onto it and never let go."
She sighed, "But I need all of you Liam, I don't want to share
you, and I can't just be a fling. My heart can't take it." She
brushed her hands across my cheek. "If you ever decide that you
can give me all of you, you know where to find me." She lifted
up on her tippy toes and gave me one last chaste kiss on the lips.
"Thank you for listening and for the kiss" she said as she
turned and walked out of the room.

DON'T LET GO
by Michelle Lynn

He slams me against the
door, his lips meeting mine urgently. His hands search my body and I
wrap my right leg up around his, moving my dress higher up my thighs.

His lips move to my
tear-stricken cheeks, where lines of mascara still cover them. He
makes his way to my neck and then my ear, lightly nibbling around my
earlobe and I know at that moment, I need this.

"Make me forget,"
I whisper.

"Oh believe me, you
will forget your name when I am done with you," he says,
grabbing my ass, forcing my legs to wrap around his torso.

He carries me across the
room, his lips on my mine, thrusting his tongue deeper in my mouth
with every step. My arms are tight against him, keeping him close.
The feeling of safety is what I crave.

He throws me on the bed,
our eyes never leaving one another. Pulling on my legs, he brings me
to the edge of the bed and takes off my heels. His hands inch up my
legs until his fingers are wrapped around each side of my black
thong. He slides it down my legs, tossing the tiny piece of material
onto the floor before returning to push my dress up, exposing me to
him. I hear the breath hitch in his throat before he starts unzipping
his dress slacks and pushing them down. He shuffles over to the
nightstand and seconds later he is on top of me.

"I have been
waiting so long to have you," he says, entering me hard and
rushed. "Oh…so worth the wait."

I remain quiet, trying
to push all thoughts out of my head. When his hands reach my ass,
pulling me harder against him, the pleasure increases and everything
disappears. He thrusts forcefully into me, whispering how good I
feel. He may not have as many moves as others and he talks too much
for my liking, but I am enjoying how well-endowed he is.

The feeling builds
inside of me; I love this part. All I feel is his touch while he
pumps into me. As sweat starts slicking between us, I flip him over,
straddling his body. I can no longer wait for him, he is going way
too slow and I crave my release. Isn't this what it's all about?

"That's what I'm
talking about!" he says and smirks as I slide him back into me.
I want to stick a sock in his throat. His talking is making it harder
for me to find my relief.

He grabs my hips, trying
to move me to his rhythm, but I pick up his hands and place them on
my breasts so I can control the speed and rhythm. Five minutes later,
my body shudders and I sink down on top of him.

"Fuck, Sadie.
You're awesome." He moves to kiss me, but I climb off his body,
pulling my dress back down.

I stand up to put my
heels back on, but he grabs me from behind, bringing me closer to
him. "Stay with me tonight," he says, wrapping his arms
around my waist.

"Okay," I
agree, crawling back on the bed. It is better than being alone. I
hate being alone; it only makes me relive my mistakes.

He wraps his arms around
me and I can smell the alcohol on his breath as his mouth rests close
to my neck. The feeling of safety surrounds me and I drift off to
sleep.

The next morning the
light wakes me up, streaming into the small room and I find myself
alone in a strange bed. I look around, trying to remember where I am
and what I did. The dirty clothes overflowing in the hamper and the
sports team paraphernalia on the wall tell me that I am most likely
in a frat house…again.

I tip toe to get my
shoes, hooking them in my hands. I slowly open the door, peering
right and left down the hall. I see no one, so I quietly make my way
down the stairs. It seems like the front door is a mile away and I
can't get through it fast enough. Just as my hand reaches the knob, I
hear talking in the next room.

"I wouldn't brag,
Soren, I had her last week." A deep voice laughs. "Actually,
you might be the last to have her."

"She a great lay
though," Jeff Soren says in return.

"I told you she
was," the other male agrees. "Ever since…the
incident, she has become the college slut."

"I know. It's kind
of sad though." Jeff's voice actually sounds concerned. "I
wish…"

"Dude. You can't
save girls like that, you just enjoy what they give you," the
other voice replies back.

I close my eyes, taking
a deep breath. I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror. Mascara is
stained in long lines down my face and my long honey-colored hair
looks like a bird made it their home. My lips are swollen red, and I
can't help but think I resemble a hooker on the corner waiting for
her next trick.

I turn the knob to the
door slowly, hoping Jeff and his buddy don't hear me. I sneak out,
walking across the street to my sorority house. I am happy to find
that everyone is either still asleep or out. When I crash into my
bed, I take the picture out of my drawer that's been hidden away
since last year. I clutch it hard against my chest, while sobs escape
my mouth. Curling up into the fetal position on my twin bed, I can't
help but think how I have disappointed him. I need to change the
direction of my life. Make him proud of me.

Synopsis of Don't
Let Go

Sadie Miller is
attempting to change her ways and hide somewhere no one knows her
former self. She only wants to finish her final year of college,
obtain her degree and get out from her parent's hold. Then she meets
Brady Carsen, the lead singer of the college town band, The
Invisibles. Although she tries to stay away, his persistence quickly
wins her over and she realizes although he is everything she's not
used to, he might be exactly what she needs and more importantly
wants.

Unfortunately, Sadie's
troubled past at her last school left her with insecurities that make
her question Brady's true intentions. While Brady is convinced Sadie
is the one for him, he has his own secrets that he fears will be
their undoing, destroying everything they have grown to become.

If they want to be
together, they will have to stand united and fight the outside
influences that are threatening to tear them apart. Can they put the
distrusts and apprehensions formed by their pasts behind them for
good in order to secure their future?
