“The things you want the most, you end up breaking.” He clenches his teeth. “But I love you. I love you. I love you.”??He grips me by the hair and twists it in his fist, pulling my mouth against his again. “Don’t walk away, not again.” His panting against my mouth as he thrusts into me is probably the sexiest thing I’ve ever experienced in my life. “If you do, I’m gone, I’m broken, I’ll risk it, you have to let me.”
“But…,” I can’t think straight. “But—”
“No.” He digs his hand behind my head and holds it there. “Just be with me, right here, right now. Please.” He clenches his teeth, “Please.”
Hot tears burn down my cheeks. “I love you. I always have. I—I…” More tears fall. “I’m scared.”
“Be afraid with me.”?
“Okay.” I whisper as he pushes me down on the carpet, mouth fused, bodies slick with sweat. “Okay.”
Every single nerve ending pulses as he moves faster, my hands can’t grip enough of his body as I pull him close and find my release.?
He shudders above me.?
We can’t go back.?
I know it.?
He knows it.?
He presses his forehead to mine, and we stay there for maybe ten seconds before the door to the room opens.?
Lucas doesn’t look at us, but I know he knows. He simply clears his throat. “Rae’s asking where Sookie is at, he wants to go over some lyrics he wrote with Eric.”?
“Okay.” He says clearly. “Give me a few minutes, I’ll send her out first.”
“Yeah.” Lucas pinches the bridge of his nose. “Guys, just, if this is happening which clearly it already happened multiple times, be careful, all right?”
“Sorry.” My voice cracks. “I—I—”
“You can’t control who you love,” Lucas interrupts, still staring at the wall. “But that doesn’t make this what could be disaster any easier.”
“We know.” Sookie answers before I can. “But I love her.”
Lucas let out a curse. “And that, my friend, is the hardest part.”?
The door shuts behind him with a click, blanketing us back into darkness. I lean up on my elbows. “What if you regret this?”
His lips meet mine before pulling away. “How can you regret the other half of your heart?”
“You have to stop saying things like that to me.”
“Why?”
“Because it makes me fall harder and I’m already gone, I’ve been gone, I’m a mess.” I finally feel like I can tell him, confess, do what needs to be done, pull the Band-Aid off.?
Still slick with sweat, smelling of sex, he pulls me into his arms and kisses my nose. “Then we’re both a mess, all right?”
“It’s your job.”
“No.” He shakes his head. “It’s my life, and in order to survive, I need you in it.”?
Chapter Twenty-One
Sookie
“Hey!” I knock on the door to the studio. Eric’s sitting next to Rae with a pencil in his hand and tapping it against the paper. He’s frowning until he suddenly jumps to his feet.
