CAMDEN

There’s a place beyond us, beyond the sky and earth, and even beyond heaven that stretches infinitely, not allowing any of our yesterdays to hurt us. Where only we exist. Where the only thing that counts is us and our heartbeats thumping as one.

Yanelys’s fingertips run circles over my heart as we sit on her bed facing each other with our foreheads touching. My hands comb through her hair, and she exhales her sweet breath on my face. Inches away from her, my lips linger over her mouth. She parts her own lips, inhaling and exhaling me.

Quiet, so quiet, the room stands still, and I hear the hope her breaths whisper across my face. Through jumbled nerves, I move my lips closer to hers, my eyes trained on them. Plump and soft, they quiver in anticipation.

My heartbeat rises but then collapses when Yanelys pulls away.

“Yan?”

“We slept together last night,” she says on a rough exhale of air. “But that’s all we did. Sleep. I want more, Cam. I really do. But I want more than just sex, too.”

Her eyes meet mine, and when I don’t respond, she closes them.

“Open your eyes, sweetheart.”

She does, and I’m taken aback by the love shining from them. Or maybe it’s my own love I see reflected from her soulful brown eyes.

“It could never be just sex with you.”

“It was though. Maybe you didn’t mean for it to be. I know you thought you were protecting me, but when you left, you turned the most indescribable and delicate moment of my life into ugly sex. I can’t go through that again.” Her tongue sneaks out of her mouth to wet her lips as her eyes skirt away from my face. “I don’t think I could survive it a second time.”

Guilt braids itself around my conscience, fear and doubt tangling with its tendrils. Silence thickens the air, separating us, when all I want is to keep her as close to me as possible.

“Forgive me, Yan.” My eyes search hers, my jumbled nerves running amok when she doesn’t reply. “I’m sorry for leaving you. I’m sorry for hurting you. I’m sorry for making my love something ugly that you’re afraid of. I’m not promising you an eternity because you wouldn’t believe me. But I will spend every second of every day showing you all the love of my forever.”

Her body draws closer to mine, her apprehension clearing and making room for the hope that’s been burning in her soul since we were kids. Joy teases her lips as she glides a gentle hand over my cheek. She leans into my face and our lips touch. A wave of passion builds in my core, and I slip my tongue across her lips. My body presses further onto her so that her back rests on the bed. She arches when I lift the thin fabric of her pajama shirt and trail soft kisses over her curves.

When I remove her pajama shorts and panties, I place a gentle kiss on
