TheI haven’t been able to stop thinking about what almost happened. I’m in Golden Falls if you want to catch up whenever you’re back in towntext.
“I…thought it would be best if I didn’t,” I admitted. “I was moving. You’d recently broken up with Colin. Don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t able to stop thinking about it”—aboutyou, I wanted to add—“but I didn’t know what the right thing to do was. You’re also eight years younger than me, Eliza. At the time, that felt like more because of where we were in our lives.” I ran a hand through my hair, tugging lightly as I tried to finish my thought. “I didn’t want to be your rebound. I wanted you to kiss me becauseyouwanted to.”
“I wish you’d texted me back, even just saying that, because it would’ve eased some of the overthinking,” she said. “But I get it. Our lives were going in different directions. I’m glad they’re stopping in the same spot—for now.”
“For now,” I repeated, trying not to think too much on how temporary this all was.
“And for the record,” Eliza said, her gaze landing on my mouth. “I wanted to kiss you. Then and…now.” She scooted closer to me, and I didn’t waste a second in wrapping my arm around her waist, tugging her onto my lap. She wrapped her fingers around my shirt and pressed her hips into mine.
“I’m sorry for not texting you back. For making you think I didn’t want you. I did. Ido.”
She dipped her head, resting her forehead against mine. Instead of pressing her hips down, she started to rock against my now-hardened cock, her mouth falling open. “I want you, too,” she breathed. “And while I accept your apology, I think it’d be better if you showed me how sorry you are.” A lazy smilestretched across her face as she sped up her movements. “How much you want me.”
My answer was to capture her lips in a heated kiss, throw her over my shoulder, and bring her to my bedroom, where I made my want for her very,veryclear.

I’m sorry for not responding three years ago.
I wasn’t going to bring it up again but then I went to text you and saw the message.
Me
You made good on your promise of showing me how sorry you were…
Don’t worry about it. We’re good.
Although, I wouldn’t be mad if you did that thing with your tongue again. I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it.
Leo
I think we can make that happen.
Me
Tonight, maybe?
Leo
Whatever and whenever you want, Trouble.
Me
Thank you,chef. :)
Leo
Trouble…
It’d only beena couple of days since myarrangementwith Leo began, and we’d already been very productive.
Monday he came to yoga, and after class we’d taken a break back at my apartment before my next class.
