I wanted to beg him to stay, but what could I do? Jake has always been a supportive friend to me, and it was only right that I be the same for him.
But I’d be totally lying if I said I didn’t miss him like crazy.
But now he’s coming back.
I’m standing on my tiptoes, trying to see over the crowd when I finally spot him.
He smiles and throws up his arm when he spots me.
I squeal with joy as I run into his arms.
His scent envelops me like a warm blanket as I step into his strong embrace, my heart racing. After all these years, he still feels like home.
"I've missed you so much," I whisper into his neck, squeezing him tighter. Breathing in his familiar musk awakens a flurry of cherished memories from our childhood together.
Jake's muscular arms wrap securely around my curvy frame. "I've missed you too, Lil. More than you know."
His deep, husky voice sends shivers down my spine. We pull back slightly, hands still grasping each other's arms, drinking in the sight of one another. Jake looks older, more rugged and handsome, but his expressive green eyes still reflect the tenderhearted boy I grew up loving as my dearest friend.
My lips curve into a bright smile. "I can't believe you're finally back! There's so much to catch up on."
"We have all the time in the world now," he grins, shouldering his army duffle. "Let me look at you...You're as beautiful as ever."
Heat rises to my cheeks at the compliment. Jake takes my hand, electricity sparking at his touch as always, and we stroll out of the airport together. My best friend is home at last. The ache that took residence in my heart the day he left finally begins to heal. With Jake by my side again, I feel complete, safe and purely happy.
Jake hugs me close as we walk, his strong arm draped possessively around my shoulders. The heat of his body seeps through my thin t-shirt, igniting a flush across my skin.
My curves mold perfectly against the hard planes of his muscular frame. I can't help but melt into his protective embrace, savoring the feel of him. It's like coming home.
Jake's hand slides down to the small of my back, fingers splaying across my spine. "God, it feels good to hold you again, Lil. I didn't realize just how much I needed this...needed you."
“Well, just promise me you’ll never go away again,” I say petulantly over a sudden catch in my voice.
God, I’vemissedhim.

Wrapping my arms around Lily's lush curves feels like heaven and hell combined. My cock instantly hardens, straining against my jeans as I breathe in her sweet, intoxicating scent.
Fuck, Iwanther. I've always wanted her.
Having her pressed up against me, all soft and warm, is testing every ounce of my self-control. It takes everything in me not to crush my mouth to hers, to claim her lips in a brutal kiss and show her exactly what she does to me.
But I can't. Lily still sees me as her childhood best friend. She has no idea about the filthy, depraved fantasies I've had about her gorgeous body. About burying my cock deep inside her tight, wet heat until she screams my name.
I need to do this right. Take it slow. Make her fall for me, so I can finally make her mine in every way. Because now that I'm back, there's no fucking way I'm letting Lily go. She's always been the only woman for me. I was just too much of a coward to tell her before I left.
But seeing her again, holding her, I know I can't risk losing her to someone else. I'd rather die than watch Lily end up with another man. No, she'smine. She always has been. She just doesn't know it yet.
I plaster on a friendly smile, even as my heart pounds wildly and my dick throbs with barely contained lust. "I'm not going anywhere, Lil. Wild horses couldn't drag me away from you again," I vow to her.
Not when I'm on a mission to win her heart and get her into my bed, where she belongs. Where I plan to keep her—naked, satisfied, and thoroughly claimed. I'll do whatever it takes to make Lily mine completely.
