Choose Me

Brecken

Willow eyes me from head to toe, hunger burning so brightly I wonder if she’ll throw me on the table and have me for dinner. As much as I would love for her to do that, sex is not what I’m looking for. Not entirely. I will have Willow naked below me, but it will be with the full connection. She will choose me as hers. Not just as someone to get her off.

I am not just here to mask her feelings.

As I walk to her, her breath hitches and her cheeks pinken. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t affected, turned on even, but I keep my emotions in check. It’s the only way I can guarantee I don’t give in to my urges.

When she takes my hand, I almost cave. Electricity courses from her skin through mine, forcing me to stay behind her to hide my evident arousal. I help her to her seat and then walk to mine and sit quickly, not wanting anything to ruin our evening.

“Thank you for showing up.”

“Did I really have a choice?”

I almost laugh at her attitude, but I remember that she dislikes when I do that. “You always have a choice, Willow. That’s what tonight is about, remember?”

She stares at me like she’s trying to figure out what my angle is. I don’t know what it’s going to take for her to understand that I’ve been telling her the truth. I want her to find herself and be happy again.

And if she finds happiness with me, all the better.

“Did you use all your gifts?” I’m curious if she’s wearing the lingerie, but I most want to know if she wrote. A gift like hers shouldn’t be wasted.

“Ask me what you really want to know, Brecken,” she fires back, head swaying and a sigh in her tone.

And there’s that attitude again.

“Why do you go into every conversation with me ready to fight?”

She opens her mouth and then closes it, looks to the ceiling for a moment and then to me. “Because you’re bossy.”

I do laugh now. A hearty, feel-it-all-the-way-to-my-toes laugh. This woman makes me happy in a way I haven’t been since Emery. It hurts to admit it, but I have decided Emery wouldn’t want me to fight it.

Emery was a bright spot in the darkest of days. She believed everyone should be happy. She wouldn’t want me living the dismal existence I had before Willow came along. And even though my heart still loves Emery as if she were here, it has opened spaces for Willow. I can’t ignore that.

“Emery used to say that about me too,” I reply, still chuckling.

Willow pulls her head back, like she’s shocked I said her name. Maybe she is. I can’t remember if I’ve said it to her or not. I probably haven’t, but I should have. Emery is not a swearword. She’s not a bad feeling to be locked up and never spoken of. She’s a joy that should be shared.

“What was she like?” Willow’s words are softly spoken, as if she’s afraid of the backlash of asking.
