Carson

I should have let her leave.

She shouldn’t have been here in the first place, but now that she was, I couldn’t let her walk away. Not tonight. Not when I felt so damn edgy from seeing my mom at the game or by seeing Allie taking care of her.

I climbed up the stairs with her in my arms, and she giggled when I almost tripped over the last step.

“Don’t drop me.” Her arms tightened around my shoulders.

“Do you really think I would drop you?” I cupped her ass in my hands as I backed her up toward my bedroom door.

“I do.” She nodded and that playful smile was still on her face. “You’re known for letting me down.”

My steps faltered at her words, and even though they were the truth, they sliced through me.

“Shit. I’m sorry.” She tried to get out of my hold, but I refused to allow her. “I shouldn’t have said that.”

“No.” I shook my head. “It’s okay. You’re right.”

I opened my bedroom door and pushed inside. I didn’t stop until I laid her back on my unmade bed and stood over her. She was looking up at me, and she looked like a fucking dream. A dream that I had been hellbent on ruining.

“I have let you down so many times, and I don’t want to let you down ever again.” She turned her head as if she was trying to block out my words, but I leaned forward, pressing my knee into the mattress between her thighs, and lifted my fingers to her chin. I turned her head back to look at me, and my heart pounded in my chest. “Let me prove it to you.”

I ran my hand up her thigh and lifted it until it settled against my side. “Let me show you just how fucking good I can be to you.”

When she didn’t immediately say no, I took the chance and leaned forward enough to press my lips to hers. She didn’t hold back. She kissed me like she was drowning and I was her savior.

She kissed me like she was trying to believe this fucked-up fairy tale where the two of us could be something regardless of our past. I wanted to make her believe it too. I wanted to take away every bit of doubt that I had planted in her and fucking erase it. I was desperate to take back all of the things I had done and said.

But I knew that I couldn’t do that. I would never be able to erase our past. All I could do was make her believe in me from this moment forward.

I pushed my fingers into her hair and ran my tongue over her bottom lip. She chased my tongue with her mouth, and her hands roamed over my body in a rush. I knew exactly what she wanted, what she was after, but I refused to give her a quick fuck that gave her pleasure long enough until she remembered why she hated me.
