Chapter 9

Amelia~

His words had hit the center of my chest like well-aimed daggers. I had been teasing, and it never occurred to me that Ford would take exception to my choice of words. But when he mentioned how I had been reckless that night of Sloan Jackson’s party, and it had been him who had taken on the responsibility of keeping me protected, my heart had felt like it had been kicked in

I had to fix this.

“Ford, I swear, I didn’t mean it like that,” I rushed out, swiping at the tears that had escaped during his withdrawal. “I was…I was just teasing. I…I…” He let out a deep sigh and I knew I was losing this moment with him. “Ford, I don’t care what you did before me,” I told him honestly. “It’s not my business and I’m not judging you for it.” I thought back to that apology I never got around to giving. “That night I overstepped and told you guys off, it was…I didn’t like seeing Wendy Allen all over you. I had gotten jealous and then…Raiden dismissing Charlie the way he did…” I shook my head. “Your past really isn’t an issue for me, Ford. I promise.”

His cool blue eyes narrowed down at me. “Tell me why it doesn’t matter to you?”

“Because I don’t want to be a hypocrite,” I replied. “How fair would it be for me to wish that you’d never been with those girls while I was giving my everything to Earnest and my relationship with him?” I sighed. “One could even argue that Earnest being around would be more of a threat to our relationship than all those girls you’ve been with. One guy who had my affection, loyalty, and virginity is more dangerous than a hundred girls who’ve never had yours.” I stepped towards him and held his blue gaze. “But I have yours,” I continued. “I have all the important things you’ve never given anybody else and that’s why I don’t care about any of the other girls you’ve been with.”

Ford’s hands were in my hair, and he was looming over me as he said, “I’m pretty sure I’m going to be in love with you by the time the sun comes up tomorrow, Amelia. That being said, I won’t settle for comfortable affection and loyalty from you.” His hands tightened in my hair. “I won’t settle for anything less than everything, Amelia.”

He already had it.

However, before I could get the words out, his lips were on mine, and we were attacking each other in a desperate bid to prove our words true. Clothes were being torn off and I knew tonight was going to be a million times better than that first night together.

I could feel it.

I could feel it in the way Ford wanted me. I could feel it in his touch. I could feel it in his kiss. I could just feel it all.

Breaking off the kiss, he panted, “You’re going to have to cut me some slack here, Amelia.
