Chapter 22
Her lips were even softer than Iâd remembered. I pulled away and cupped the back of my neck.
âIâm not going to apologize for that. I just needed the goodbye kiss I should have had nine years ago.â With that, I hurried out of the office.
After everything Sutton and Iâd just shared, I didnât want to crowd her, but Iâd wished like hell sheâd not let me walk away. Sheâd admitted to Redd she still loved me, but it was different when the choice to try a relationship again was staring at you directly. I couldnât blame her if she wasnât willing to give me a second chance. God knew I didnât deserve it, but it didnât stop me from wanting it more than anything else in my life.
Reaching my bedroom, I closed the door behind me and removed my shirt. I tossed it on the bed, stepped out of my shoes and socks, and heaved a deep sigh. What now? Iâd put it all on the table about Connor and my feelings. What in the hell would I do now? How would I turn all my feelings off for her and resume treating her like a client? Fuck. I shouldnât have said anything. But I had to. The weight of all the secrets had nearly destroyed me, and somehow ⦠somehow, I would figure this out and finally be able to move forward.
The bedroom door flung open and I immediately sank into an attack stance. The second I saw Sutton, I relaxed. Her gaze traveled over my face, my chest, and down my stomach. I stepped tentatively toward her. She grimaced as if in pain.
âWhatâs wrong?â In a few quick strides, I crossed the room and took her hands in mine. âAre your parents all right? Did something else happen?â
âIâm so sorry. I should have told you.â
Dammit. She was with someone. Sheâd held back on me, and Iâd finally been honest with how I felt about her. Iâd been stupid. Reckless. Iâd allowed my heart to override my head.
âI love you,â she blurted. âI love you so fucking much.â She took my hand and placed it over her heart. It was pounding like crazy. âThis is for you. Itâs always been for you.â
Before either of us could say another word, my lips brushed against hers. My hand threaded through her thick hair, and I pulled her against me. âThank you. Thank you for loving me,â I said against her ear. I wasnât sure she realized what her words meant. Iâd buried my feelings long ago. Iâd refused to live my life to the fullest. The guilt had confined me in a cage I couldnât break free from. But if this woman could forgive me, maybe ⦠maybe I could finally let the pain of the past go.
My mouth crashed down on hers, and her lips parted, welcoming me. My tongue brushed hers, and she looped her arms around my waist. I deepened our kiss, longing for more.
Breaking our lip lock, I trailed my fingertips down her cheek.
