Chapter Twelve

Stone

Impossibly, I cared for her more today than I did yesterday, and already I knew I would love her a little more tomorrow, and each day after that.

Yesterday, we laid around, ate pizza, drank hot cocoa, mine doused with protein powder, and watched a mix of action movies and romantic comedies.

Today, I woke up feeling better than I had in weeks.

I still had this stupid cold, but my lungs were clearing up.

I was beginning to breathe easier, which meant that soon I would be able to smell her.

I wanted to bury my nose in her hair. I wanted to know when she was near by her unique scent.

Damn. I missed her already. Letting her go last night was hell.

It didn’t matter that we talked from the time she had signal until she was at her front door, still wearing my shirt beneath her hoodie.

Fuck, she looked good in it. If I thought my cock was hard the other day, the perpetual hard-on I’d had these past twenty-four hours put it to shame.

I felt like an eager, impatient child. I couldn’t wait to see her again.

Unfortunately, she worked the next three days straight.

On the up side, it gave me time to kick this crud.

On the down side, it gave me time to miss the hell out of her and every sweet curve on her body.

Damn, the ass on her. I loved her for that alone.

It was a hell of a lot bigger than I expected it to be, especially for a white girl.

Fuck! I couldn’t wait to see her bent over.

Shit. I squeezed my cock through my shorts. Damn. I was this fucking needy for a woman who wasn’t my true mate. I couldn’t imagine wanting someone more. No wonder true mates met and fucked so fast. It was a miracle I didn’t lose control with her yesterday, especially during that kiss.

Damn, could she kiss. Her lips felt like sensual pillows. She tasted like pure sweet nectar. And the feel of her rounded edges against me…

Fuck. I groaned, pinching my cock harder. Heat shot down my spine. Desire knotted low in my belly. My balls tightened, my cock straining further upwards. All of the blood in my body pooled in my apex. I didn’t even know if a cold shower would work right about now, but I was desperate enough to try.
