“No.” He leaned down and gave me a quick kiss. “I cut my date short with Wendy tonight. You want to know why?”
“No.” I was lying. I was dying to know.
“All I could see was that look on your face after I kissed her. It scared the shit out of me. There was so much pain and heartbreak on your face. I wanted to hurt myself. I couldn’t eat during dinner. Mentally I wasn’t even there with her. All I kept thinking was, ‘Jasmine is gone and I won’t be able to get her back this time.’”
“I planned to talk to you about ending it today.”
“No.” He buried his head into my neck. “You have to know I won’t let you go.”
I closed my eyes and leaned my head against the wall, breathing him in. “That’s not really your choice to make.”
“Where would you hide? Really think about that.” His hands slipped under my shirt. He traced lines into my skin.
My blood rushed.
Again, energy pulsed everywhere his fingers made contact.
“When I go to sleep at night, Jasmine, you’re strolling through my dreams in the most amazing fantasy worlds and I swear to God I can feel, smell, and taste you like you’re really there. And when I wake up in the morning and you’re in my arms, I thank God over and over for blessing me with you. Do you really think I would just let that go?”
I sighed. “You punched Gabe for no reason.”
“I hit him because that expression on your face was only for me.” He pressed his chest into my breasts. My nipples hardened under him. “What were you thinking about when your finger was in his mouth?”
“That’s none of your business.”
“Answer me! Damn it.”
I remained silent, but opened my eyes and gazed at him.
I shouldn’t have.
Raw emotion coated his expression. He looked scared and hurt.
I whispered, “Don’t yell at me.”
He let out a long breath.
“I’m sorry I punched him. It was wrong.” He guided my hands from his chest to his shoulders. He lifted me up and I straddled him with my legs. His hardness pushed between my thighs.
I moistened instantly and rubbed a tiny bit against him before I forced myself to stop.
He groaned. “I won’t do it again.”
“How do I know that?”
“Because I’m falling in love with you and I’m too goddamned scared to do anything to lose you.”
I hugged him hard and laid my head on his shoulder. “But in the end, you will still kiss Wendy again, and Dawn too. And my heart will break each time. And I will no longer be that fun woman who’s opening your mind and exciting to be around. I’ll be a resentful bitch who’ll only want to cut your balls off.”
I climbed off him.
He tried to stop me, but I shoved him away. “I’m sorry, but the only time it really works for us is when it’s only us. And you can’t give me that.”
“I’ll try.” He seized my arm, pulled me to him, and captured my mouth.
“No,” I murmured, but my body burst with anticipation.
“I love you.” His tongue pierced my lips. He cupped my behind and lifted me, rushing us over to my couch, ripping my shirt with no restraint, and yanking down my bra like a mad man. “Forever. How can I get that with you?”
