But, then again, did she really know him as well as she
thought she did? After all, he’d just turned nineteen when she went off to
college and they called it quits on their relationship. A person can change a
lot in that time; she’d certainly changed. And perhaps she didn’t know him at
all in the first place. It was possible that the Reece in her head was an
adolescent fantasy, rose-tinted by the very fact of him being her first love.

Everything about the strong man lying beneath her indicated
he was exactly what he claimed to be. Could she possible be mistaken? Was he
really just another looser who would say and do anything just to get a girl
into bed? No, that much she knew wasn’t true.

“Can I ask you something?” As she parroted his request,
Allie braced her weight on her arms and pushed herself from his chest. Once she
was in a sitting position, her hair curtaining her face, she peered down at
him. Immediately regretting the speed with which she’d straightened, she felt a
wave of lightheadedness and closed her eyes momentarily to stop the world
spinning.

“Sure,” he replied, his hands moving to her hips and holding
her gently.

Taking three quick breaths her dizziness gradually abated,
and her eyes returned to him. “Did you mean it?”

His right eyebrow lifted in question. “What?”

“Earlier,” Allie responded, motioning with her head towards
the kitchen. “When you said you love me, did you mean it?”

He regarded her for a split second, confused by the doubt he
noticed in her features. Suddenly, he was moving, carefully cradling her waist
as he flipped her to the right. Once her back hit the bed, he rolled atop her.
“What do you think?” he answered simply, his deep, earnest eyes burning into
her soul.

Allie let out a muffled “Ahh,” as she felt his stiff shaft
edge further, filling her completely. She bucked against him, coaxing him
further still, until the head of his manhood was deep inside her. “Reece,” she
murmured, almost too breathless to speak.

“Do you think I’d lie to you about that?” he asked, his
voice indicating more control than he was actually in possession of. “Do you
think I would have taken you to bed that first time, if I didn’t love you?”

“I’m not that girl anymore,” she replied shakily, as she
jerked beneath him again.

With a lightly exhaled chuckle, he dipped his head towards
her. “I’ve noticed,” he whispered, before kissing her mouth. As his tongue
slipped between her parted lips, he drew his hips back slowly. With the same
measured pace, he returned to her body releasing a long, low moan into her
mouth as he did so. “Christ,” he gasped, ripping his lips from hers. “Allie,
honey, I’m close.”

“Not yet,” she begged. Her eyelids were suddenly far too
heavy and they flittered closed. “Just a little longer Reece,” she panted.
Pushing her hand between their joined bellies, she blindly groped for the base
of his shaft, but he was too deeply held within her. Abandoning the notion of
trying to delay his climax, her fingers moved to increase the onset of her own.
However, as the pad of her middle finger met the swollen and tender flesh above
her entrance, Reece’s own hand swiped her away.

“Let me,” he murmured urgently. “I want to make you come,”
he added, before closing the space between their mouths once more.

Allie felt herself melt into the mattress, as Reece’s thumb
gently rolled tiny circles against her clitoris and his tongue roamed
possessively over hers. He continued to thrust, but did so slowly with
deliberate pauses between each movement. Wrapping her right leg over left
thigh, Allie smoothed her hands down his back, until her fingers met the firm,
clenched muscles in his butt. Clasping him hard, but careful to keep her
fingernails out of his soft skin, she urged him on.

The silent communication worked, and Reece stepped up the
rhythm of his lower half, increasing the pressure of his thumb on her sensitive
nub. “That’s it,” Allie gasped, turning her head to the right and gulping in a
lungful of air. She could feel her body tightening in anticipation and began
panting in shallower breaths.

“Ugh,” Reece groaned, as Allie’s hands unconsciously dug
into his buttocks. It was pain just the right side of pleasure and he plunged
into her with renewed vigor.

“Yes,” she murmured, as he stirred some new pleasure point.
And then it came, like a powerful wave against the rocks, knocking the air from
her body and sending trembled jolts of pleasure through every nerve ending.
“Oh, Reece,” she breathlessly screeched, as her body began to pulse.

Quickly removing his hand from between them, Reece pulled
back one final time. His last thrust was forceful, deep and accompanied by a
masculine cry of pleasure.

Allie opened her eyes just in time to see his face,
contorted in a mixture of agony and ecstasy, as she felt his warmth begin to
flood her in strong surges.

“Ahh,” Reece groaned, his hips still lazily pumping, as he
emptied himself. “Oh, God,” he panted. “Allie,” he breathed, his lower half
slowly stilling, as his upper body flopped listlessly forwards. “Allie,” he
repeated, gasping for breath.

Feeling his hot breath in the crook her of her neck and the
pound of his heart next to her own racing one, Allie’s left hand slipped from
his rounded buttock and grasped the back of his head. Gently, she ran her hands
through his hair and stroked the nape of his neck, until his breathing had
returned to something resembling normal.

“Am I crushing you?” he mumbled.

“No,” she instantly replied.

“You sure?” he countered. “I’m not too heavy?”

“No,” she insisted. “You feel good,” she added, wrapping her
legs around him to prevent him from leaving her even if he wanted to.

Reece sighed happily against her skin. “Feels so good,” he
muttered.

Allie could feel his shaft softening within her and sensed
it wouldn’t be long before he would get up. Once he did, that would be it,
she’d never be with him like this again. “Reece,” she whispered, almost unaware
of the fact she’d spoken his name. “The last weeks have been incredible,” she
said.

“For me too,” he responded, his right cheek still nestled on
her shoulder.

“I mean, really incredible,” she continued. “I want you to
know that.”

Forcing his heavy unresponsive body up, Reece held his
weight on the palms he rested by Allie’s upper arms. “It’s all right,” he said,
his voice thick with post-orgasm exhaustion. “I don’t exactly know what this
has been,” he added, hair falling over his forehead in the way Allie found so
cute. “But I don’t regret a moment of it.”

It was then that Allie realized she couldn’t in all honesty
say she felt the same. There was something she regretted. Something she would
regret, until the cancer ended all regrets. “There’s something I’ve got to tell
you,” she softly announced.

“You don’t have to,” Reece told her, shaking his head, as he
slowly pulled his flaccid member from her.

“No, I do,” she quickly countered, mourning the loss of him,
as his body slickly left hers. “Please, Reece,” she begged, grasping his
forearms and hurriedly sitting up.

“Allie,” he sorrowfully sighed. “It doesn’t change
anything.”

“It will for me,” she insisted. “I don’t want you to leave
without knowing why. I don’t want to push you away like this.” Allie’s words
came quickly and coherently, much more coherently than her brain was
functioning. “I…” she stumbled, her words suddenly lodged in her throat by
unshed tears. “There’s something…” she attempted again, but halted when her
vision blurred and unruly droplets spilled onto her cheeks.

Easing himself away from her, Reece sat down on the bed by
her side. Allie instantly, turned to him and crawled onto his lap. He didn’t
fight her, and as she settled, he wrapped his arms around her middle.

“I’m sick,” Allie sobbed quietly into his chest.

Reece only just understood her muffled words. “Okay,” he
responded, at a loss as to how that fitted into the situation.

“I’m really sick,” she continued.

“I don’t…” Reece mumbled, shaking his head in confusion.

“I wanted to live the life that I’d missed out on,” she
cried. “To make sure I had no regrets, so I started seeing men from my past.”

Reece remained silent and baffled. However, the last part of
her sentence was quickly filed away as important to clarify, when she was able
to speak with full sentences.

“It was just meant to be sex,” she sniffed, lifting her face
to his.

Realizing that he probably no longer needed clarification,
Reece suddenly felt very uncomfortable with where her confession was heading.

“I didn’t…I didn’t bargain on the way I feel about you,” she
explained. “I want you, Reece,” she said, wiping tears from her cheeks, which
were just as quickly replaced with fresh ones. “But I know we can’t be
together.” The world began to spin again and Allie was forced to close her
eyes. “I can’t do that to you,” she murmured. “I can’t hurt you.”

“Allie,” Reece soothed, one palm slowly circling her back,
while the fingers of his other head massaged her slender thigh. “I’m not sure I
understand.”

Opening her eyes, Allie tried to focus on him. “I’m sick,
Reece,” she repeated. “I’ve got leukemia,” she added. “I’m dying.”

Reece’s mouth fell open, as he felt Allie’s head flop back
onto his shoulder. “I don’t…” he whispered. “You can’t…” he fumbled. “Allie.”
He spoke her name reverently, as he pulled her tightly against his chest. It
was only then that he wondered why she’d gone suddenly quiet. The tears had
stopped. “Allie,” he nudged, lifting her face to him and finding her head much
heavier than it should be. “Allie,” he repeated, panicked by her closed eyes
and listless form. “Allie,” he tried more urgently, as he scooped her off his
lap and laid her out on the bed.

Quickly, Reece placed his ear next to her mouth and was glad
to feel soft, shallow breaths. His eyes landing on the jeans he’d abandoned by
the edge of the bed, he leapt for them and started to turn each pocket inside
out. Eventually, he grasped his cell phone and punched three hurried numbers. “Come
on, come on,” he quietly muttered. “Yes,” he sighed with relief when the call
was answered. “I need an ambulance.”
