Let Me Love You (19 page)

“What are you doing here Tally?” I notice a little annoyance in his voice. What the hell? I look away. I can’t look at him right now.

“It’s doesn’t matter
, James. I was just leaving. I know when I’m not wanted anymore. You would have thought I would have learned after the last time, right?” I laugh and shake my head. I just can’t believe that I thought this would work.

“Answer me Tally. Why are you here?” Anger boils in me and turn to look at him
, after everything that has happened between us, he is angry at me. Like fuck.

“I came here to tell you that I love you, I wa
nt to be with you.” I lower my voice “I went to see Dean.” Anger flashes across his face.

“What the fuck Tally!? You went to see that rapist? F
or fucks sake, he beat and raped you and you went to see him?” I’m shocked by his behavior.

I growl at him
. “Keep your fucking voice down, Wilde. This is my life and it’s my choice to go to see the man who fucked me up as you so politely put it, then I fucking will.” I keep going as he just stands there in shock. “You walked away from me remember, telling me that I didn’t love you enough to let you love me. Well James fucking Wilde, I do okay? I fucking love you. It’s such a shame that you
didn’t
love me enough, as from what I just saw.” I nod my head in Miss Barbie’s direction. I take a deep breath “
You
have moved on. Dean really helped me see today how much I love you and how much I need you, but you know what Wilde?
Fuck You
, because I don’t need you. Now go back to your new little girlf-” I get cut off my James crashing his lips to mine.

Everything around me fades away, the music, the lights. Even the chatter o
f people nearby. I am consumed by James’s mouth. I try to push away, but find my body betrays me. My mind and my body melt into his touch. He slips his tongue into my mouth and our tongue’s play together. James puts his hands on my ass and lifts me, crashing into the wall behind me. I moan as James trails kisses down my neck and across my collar bone. All my anger slips away and I open my eyes to see a few people looking at us. Shit I forgot where we were. Oops. “James we need to stop, people are watching us.” He lifts his head and kisses my lips slowly and gently.

“Fuck baby
, I missed you. God, I love you Tally, always baby. I’m so damn sorry for everything I have put you through. I can be such a dick sometimes. I know these past few weeks haven’t been a nice and easy few weeks. I get it, but baby please forgive me.” I smile and kiss his nose. “Listen, about my date, my agent told me that it would be a stupid ass move to turn up alone, so he arranged for her to come with me. She is his niece or something. I’m not interested in her baby. She was just a stand in. I haven’t done anything with her. Not even a kiss, I promise.”

“
I believe you James. Just by seeing you in that booth, I could tell you didn’t want her. I missed you babe. Like really missed you. We still have a lot to talk about, my head is so screwed with all this emotion from our on and off again. It’s giving me whiplash.” James gives me his All-American-Smile that I love so damn much. James sets me down on my feet, but never lets me go. “Shall we go back to your wrap party? All these people are here for you, baby.” He shakes his head with a smile. “What?”

“I like that you call me baby, you never have
.” I smile and pull back into the main room. He wraps his arm around my waist and walks me over to Sasha, who is talking to a couple. My heart skips a beat when I see that the man standing with Sasha is an older version of James. I look up at James, he must have sensed my worry. “Baby, it’s my parents. I would love for you to meet them. They will love you, just like I do.” I smile nervously as we get closer to his parents. His mom turns around and hugs her son.

“Oh James
, there you are honey. We just got here.” He kisses her cheek.

“Hi mom, dad. There is someone I want you to meet
.” He looks down at me and smiles proudly “Mom, dad, this is my girlfriend, Natalia Slone. Tally, these are my parents, Joan and Jonathan Wilde.” I smile and offer my hand.

“It’s very nice to meet you both
.” Joan pulls me in for a huge hug. I hear James laugh. I look him and shake my head. Jonathan hugs me next.

“Oh baby girl
, look at you. What a beautiful woman you are. It’s nice to finally put a beautiful face to a beautiful name.” He turns to James. “You did well, son.” He winks at me.

“Hey now dad, no flirting
with my girl. Less of the sexy winks please.” James winks at me and I laugh.

“All beautiful women deserve to be winked at my boy, ask your mom
.” We all laugh.

James drags me around the room introducing me to
his ‘people’, as he calls them. They all worked on ‘Control’ in some way. I have been dragged around for about three hours, James parents have left to go back to their hotel room. We are standing by the bar talking to some of the crew when we here a commotion coming from the main door. I see James’s eyes go slightly wide and he looks down at me with a tight smile. “Brace yourself, baby.” I frown and turn towards the noise. My eyes land on Scott Martin, striker for LA Galaxy. Fuck no! I turn back to James.

“Shi
t, baby let me handle them okay? I’ll be back.” James grips my hips.

“No babe
, we will deal with them together. I can only assume that Jake is here also.”

I nod and we make our way over to the team.  Scott spots me and smiles. “Ta
lly baby, how are you doing? I haven’t seen you in weeks.” I smile back and except the kiss on my cheek from him.

“New job Scotty, I’m sure Jake has told you that. Where is he Scotty? I know you all came to b
ack him up, and to size up James. It’s what you boys do when I’m concerned.”

He shrugs
, but before he can answer I hear my brother. “I’m here, Pup.” He pats Scott on the shoulder. “I’m good man, go and enjoy the night.” Scott leans in and kisses my cheek again. I feel James tense beside me, so I rub his hand that is on my right hip.

“You hurt her again
, you deal with the entire Galaxy. You feel me?” He says looking directly at James. I roll my eyes. James nods, but he doesn’t seem threatened by Scott. Wait until Jake starts. Scott walks away. The couple of Galaxy boys nod, smile at me, and follow Scotty. I look back at Jake and go to speak, but he raises his hand to stop me.

“I’m your big brother Pup and it’s my job to protect you.  I have failed
epically in the past, but not anymore. I know that you know about what Dean did to her James, but you still hurt her, granted she caused some hurt also.” I blink at my brother. Wow, where is this calm and collected Jake coming from? Jakes continues. “Now I need you to listen to me very, very carefully James Wilde. TV star or not, you
ever
hurt my baby sister again and I swear to God, I will go balls to the wall on you and beat the living fuck out of you. You get me?” James nods and guilt crosses his face. “Good, because as you can see, Tally has a lot of big brothers looking out for her and they will always protect her just like I will, but it’s my blood duty to do so. Now shall we start over?” I let out my breath, not noticing I was holding it. Jake lifts his hand to James. “Jake Slone, nice to finally meet you.” They shake hands and I smile at these two huge men in my life. “Okay, now that all this is sorted I need me some loving. Any single ladies here tonight, Wilde?” I shake my head and laugh.

“Such a man whore
, Jakey. Please be good, these people work with James. Please for the love of God, stay the fuck away from the blonde in the red slutty dress okay. She is bad news Jakey. Warn the boys too” Jake pulls me away from James and into his big arms.

“I approve Pup, f
or now.” I smile up at him and kiss his cheek.

“Thank you
, Jake. I love you big brother.” Jake nods and struts away. We walk around talking to more people and I introduce James to the Galaxy boys. They all get along great, as James used to play soccer.

I yawn and James pulls me tight into his side
. “You ready to go baby?” I nod and yawn again. He stands and pulls me over to Sasha.

“We are going Sash, Tally’s tired. Give me
a text with the final balance, yeah?” He hugs her and kisses her on the cheek. This no longer bothers me, as I know what they mean to each other.

Sasha reaches for me
and pulls me into a hugs also. She whispers in my ear. “I’m glad you came this evening. He has been moping around for days. I know you love him and I know that he loves you. He is worth it Natalia.” I nod and kiss her cheek. As we make our way through the club and see Marcus head over to us, James stops.

“You two leaving?” asks Marcus.
James answers for us.

“Yeah
, Tally is tired so we are going to head over to my place.” Wow, I haven’t been to James’s apartment before. Marcus nods, shakes James’s hand, and then bends to speak in my ear.

“Thank you for coming back for him. You’re good for him Tally.
He needs you.” He kisses my forehead before pulling away. James shoves his shoulder playfully

“Fuck off dude, stop whispering in my girlfriend’s ear. Get your own girl
.” I laugh and place my hand on James chest while he tightens his grip on my waist.

“See you later guys
.” Marcus says then turns and walks off into the crowd.

“To my place then?”
He smirks.

“Yep” I say
, popping the p. James laughs and pulls me towards the door. I’m surprised again that the paparazzi are still hanging around. We have to walk back down the red carpet to get to James’s limo. The flashes start and the questions get thrown at us.

James stops smack bang in the middle of the walkway. He t
urns fully to me and winks. Oh God, no. James has one hand on my ass. He pushes the other into my hair and kisses me, not a sweet, gentle kiss, no, but a full devouring kiss, tongue and all. I can feel my body heat from both James and embarrassment. James ends our kiss and smiles at me. “There, now everyone will know you belong to me baby and I belong to you. Always.” I shake my head. James stands tall and proud and makes his announcement “Yes Natalia Slone is my girlfriend and I am truly, madly and deeply in love with her. I am officially off the market ladies.” I can’t stop laughing. It’s so typical of a Hollywood actor to make such a bold statement. We climb into our waiting limo and head to James’s apartment. The limo pulls away from the club. James pulls me into his lap and takes my lips in an intense kiss. I lick his lips and suck his bottom lip into my mouth which earns me a deep, throaty groan from James, which makes me even hotter.

My skirt is now sitting around my hips and James is running his hands up and down my thighs. His hands run up my thigh
and curve around to cup my ass. I can feel him tug on my panties slightly and then the sound of ripping material makes me gasp. James just tore my panties right off me and again stuffs them into his pants pocket. Fuck that is
hot
. “I can’t wait to be inside of you again, baby. It’s been way too long.” I reach down to undo his pants button and zipper, while James is kissing and sucking on my neck, sending shivers all down my body.

“Up baby
.” James lifts his hips slightly so I can pull his pants down along with his boxers, his erection springs free, ready and waiting. God how I have missed him so much, but it dawns on me, has James been with anyone else since we have been apart? The blonde was all over him. Is she one of many? I jerk back from James and see the confusion on his face.

“Baby what’s wrong? Are we going to
o fast?” My heart rate picks up speed. I need to ask, but I’m also afraid to.

“James,
since we have been broken up ummm...Have you been with anyone else? I’m sorry, but I have to ask.” I look down at my hands and twist my ring.

I feel James’s thumb and forefinger lift my chin
, so I’m looking at his beautiful face. “Tally I have only ever been with you in any way shape or form since that first night at JAG, okay?” I nod.

“I know you haven’t touched that blonde back there
, but was there other dates that you touched? It hurts to ask, but I have to.” I can feel tears building. Wow, talk about a cold bucket on your sex drive. He shakes his head .

“No-one Tally
, I mean it okay? No-one.” He emphasises the word ‘No-one’. I nod and smile at him. James wipes a stray tear that runs down my cheek and pulls my head to his chest. His erection still free and between us, but still very much ready and waiting.

“
How long until we arrive at you’re place?” James looks out the window.

“About fifteen minutes, why
? What do you have in mind baby?” I smile slyly and slide off James’s lap. I kneel between his legs and wink at him as I take is cock in my hand. I slowly run my hand up and down that produces a small bead of pre-cum at his tip. He is watching me like a hawk and it makes me feel powerful to have him at my mercy. I lick the tip of his dick and he moans my name. “Suck it Tally. Take it all baby. I have waited too long to have your sweet mouth wrapped around me again.” I part my swollen lips and run my tongue from root to tip of his shaft. James hips buck so I do it again. I smile to myself and take him full into my mouth. I suck softly at first, but I hear James breath catch so I suck harder, running my tongue along underneath him. He tastes so good. I don’t think I will ever get enough of him.
