Saving Each Other (BWWM Romance) (11 page)

“And how can you tell?” I asked him as I ate.

“You always pucker your mouth when you’re done talking, or telling a lie. And your eyebrows arch up then you blink a lot too.” I looked at him incredulously. Damn he’s good.

“Impressive.”

I wished I could make pancakes the way they did, even the eggs were good and I had never been much of an egg person. My stomach accepted the food easily so I didn’t have to worry about that again.

“So are you going to tell me what you were watching?”

We had moved back to the living room. I was sitting next to him on the couch, resting my head on his shoulder.

“I was watching the news,” I said quietly. His head was resting on mine and he kissed my head softly.

“What did you see?”

“It didn’t say much, but they started dispatching search units.”

“Oh.”

“But they also said Rory Corp is under investigation now.” I thought that was good.

“That’s good.”

“Yeah, I guess your plan is working.”

“We won’t know for sure until it’s the end.” I nodded in agreement.

I snuggled up closer to him, where we stayed for a long time. At least until my stomach growled, signaling it was time for dinner.

“What do you want for dinner?” he asked when he heard it too.

“Can we have Chinese? I love Chinese food,” I told him. It was all I ate in college. It pretty much still was all I ate.

“Sure, I’ll order some and pick it up.”

“Thanks.” He got up from the couch and left me alone.

Before long, he was back with the food. I was glad he got all my favorites: fried rice, and General Tso’s and pork egg rolls.

“That hit the spot, thank you.”

“No problem.” He smiled and threw the empties out, saving whatever we didn’t eat.

I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth, I always brushed my teeth at least three times a day. I didn’t even really know why, it was just habit. When I returned to the bedroom, Dan was lying there in his usual attire, no shirt and a fresh pair of sweats. I snuggled up next to him, resting my hand on his chiseled abs.

“Hi,” I whispered.

“Hi.” He smiled down at me and kissed me softly. I felt like it had been so long since we did that.

Like always, my whole body caught on fire and my lips tingled against the touch of his. His tongue found its way into my mouth easily, dancing with mine until I had to break away for air. My hand was resting on his chest and he put his hand over mine as he looked into my eyes. I knew we were thinking the same thing. I was glad my period was over, I think my lack of health shortened it.

He rolled us over so that he was hovering above me. He lifted my shirt over my head easily, throwing it over to the side. I was naked underneath, besides my underwear which was soaking from desire. He bit his lip softly and leaned down to kiss my neck. He shed kisses all the way down my body, leaving fire in his wake.

“Oh,” I whimpered when he pinched my nipples softly, kneading my breasts in his hands.

His mouth moved down my body, kissing me everywhere until he reached the waistband of my panties. He looked up at me through his thick, dark lashes and kissed my wet mound through my panties.

“Ah,” I arched my head and moaned. Even the smallest touch from him drove me into a sensual frenzy.

He moved his face and grabbed them at the sides, pulling my panties off slowly. He lifted my legs in the air and pulled them off, tossing them off to the side. He held my legs up and kissed me down my calves until he reached my knees then he grabbed them in his strong, large hands and opened my legs, lowering his face to me again.

“Mmm, Dan,” I moaned, fisting my fingers in the sheets. I bucked my hips toward his mouth, which was permanently latched onto my sensitive bundle of nerves. His tongue swirled around me while he sucked ever so slightly, sending me into a frenzy of feeling.

He kept going, driving me farther over the edge. My hands moved to his hair, fisting his thick locks and pressing him farther into me. I didn’t know where he learned how to do it but it felt amazing, I can’t even describe it.

“Oh yes!” I cried out as I came loudly. He kissed me one last time before he moved his face away, looking into my eyes meaningfully.

I ran my tremoring hands down his body, reaching for his pants. I removed his pants and briefs in one move. His hard member sprung free, rubbing against my warmth. I bit my lip nervously and tentatively reached out to touch him. I ran my finger down his shaft, teasing him. He shuddered and groaned deep in his chest when I wrapped my small hand around him, my fingers couldn’t even meet each other on the other side. I pulled on him softly, lapping over the head of his member with my thumb. He closed his eyes and inhaled deeply, closing his eyes as he let out a gush of air.

“I want to take you, Tamara,” he breathed. His voice was almost unrecognizable. It was deep with lust and desire. I held his face in my hands and looked into his eyes, reaching up to kiss him passionately.

“Then take me, Dan.” Hell I couldn’t recognize my own voice! God, this man changed me, but in all the right ways.

He positioned himself at my entrance and pushed slowly, disappearing inside of me inch by inch.

“Oh yes,” I moaned when he was deep inside of me, reaching me everywhere.

“Oh Tamara, you feel amazing.”

He froze inside of me while I adjusted to his size. I bucked my hips toward him, signaling him to move again. He pulled out of me slowly and entered me again, so agonizingly slowly.

“Oh my God.” My body couldn’t take all the pleasure it was experiencing. It felt so good though, I just didn’t know what to do with myself.

He steadied his rhythm, making love to me slowly. I moved my hips with him, connecting our bodies. His body was molded to mine, we fit so perfectly together. I ran my hands down his back, clutching his ass timidly. I moved to his perfect little dimples above his ass, circling them slowly. I started to feel that familiar tightness in my lower belly and around my crotch. I dug my nails into his back as I felt myself coming closer and closer to the edge, bringing him with me.

“Oh, Tamara,” he groaned into my neck and sucked at the skin there slightly, definitely leaving a hickie. His hands found their way to my breasts, cupping them in his hands and flicking his thumb over the nipple.

It brought shivers to my body and was enough to bring me to my climax.

“Oh, Dan!” I cried out, not even caring if anyone heard me.

I was in a wake of orgasmic tremors for who knew how long, and he followed soon after.

“Oh!” I pushed him out, having déjà vu from my dream but I was glad I remembered. He was caught in between the warmth of my legs as he released his seed into the bed sheets. He collapsed on top of me, trembling just as I was.

“Sorry,” I giggled slightly. I pecked the top of his ear with my lips and ran my hands through his hair as he rested his head on my heaving chest.

“It’s okay,” he chuckled and we laughed together.

“That was amazing,” I whispered.

“Yes, it was,” he agreed.

He repositioned himself so that he was behind me with his arms wrapped around me. I put my arms above his and ran my hands along the fine hairs on his arm. I wasn’t even tired like I thought I would be, honestly I wanted to do it again. In a moment of bravery, I rubbed my ass against his member resting against me.

“Tamara…” he warned as I felt his cock harden. I smiled to myself at my success.

I turned around and rolled him over so that I was on top of him. He looked up at me and smiled. I bit my lip nervously, I wasn’t sure about how I felt with him being able to see me, all of me. His masculine hands held me at my waist. I lowered myself onto him slowly, wincing at the slight discomfort, but I adjusted soon enough. I threw my head back and rode him slowly as he held me tightly.

“Oh yes,” I cried as I felt the pleasure building up there. I never imagined it could feel that good, I mean I had never felt that good before.

I raked my hands down his chest, reveling in the feeling of his contracted muscles. I steadied the rhythm, rocking back and forth and going around in circles. I knew I was driving him crazy, I was driving me crazy too. I reached my climax soon, crying out his name and other profanities.

“Tamara!” He cried as he came, I moved off of him just in time for him to release his seed.

I collapsed on top of him. Now I was tired, but I was content. If every moment could be like that, be so perfect, I would be okay. I didn’t want life to start, I didn’t want anything to start. I fell asleep in his arms, a perfect easy sleep. I should have never woken up.

There was a heavy knock on the door, multiple knocks that woke me up easily. I grabbed a shirt and threw it on.

“Dan, wake up. There is somebody at the door.” He groaned but then he woke up soon afterwards, pulling on his sweatpants.

“Ignore it.” He sat up and we both looked at each other, waiting for them to go away.

“Open up, it’s the police!” they shouted.

“No,” I breathed to myself. It can’t be them. I-I didn’t think I wanted to go…

“This is it, Tamara,” he whispered. I shook my head, the tears coming. I grabbed him and hugged him tightly, not wanting to let go. Ever.

“Alright! We are coming in!” There was a loud crash and some noises. I thought I heard Justin before they took him away.

Dan had to pry me off of him before the police surfaced. I heard a helicopter in the background. Shit, they brought a fucking chopper?

“Hey! Get on the ground, now. Slowly, put your hands behind your head.” Dan obeyed and got on the ground. One of the officers grabbed me, thinking he had to console me.

I watched in horror as they beat Dan into submission, even though he was already obeying them. I knew I couldn’t say anything, it would raise too many flags.

“Come with us,” the officer said to me. He pulled me with him but I couldn’t help but fight him, I wanted to go back to Dan. Just hold him one last time, kiss his lips and feel his heartbeat against me.

“Let’s go, you can leave now.” He probably thought I was just being crazy, that I felt like I couldn’t leave. I didn’t feel like it, I just didn’t want to.

He led me outside where the bright sun burned my eyes. The chopper made everything windy, even pushed me back a little bit. It hadn’t landed though, it was just hovering above the ground. The officer climbed up the ladder first and I went after him. I lost my footing on one of the steps and fell.

“Ah!” I screamed, gripping the air helplessly. It was so much higher than it looked like.

I couldn’t land on my feet because it was too high. I felt someone try to grab me but they only grabbed my feet. My head snapped backwards and hit the ground, pushing me into a state of darkness.

Chapter Six: Tamara

The beeping of a monitor brought me back to consciousness. I opened my eyes, seeing only white at first. When my eyes adjusted, I could make out the similar confines of a hospital. My heart nearly stopped when I saw Mallory sitting on the couch.

“Mallory.” My voice was too quiet for her to hear, and my throat was dry. I pressed the call button for a nurse to come.

“Could I have some water please?”

“Sure, and I’ll get the doctor as well. We’re glad to see you awake.” She left after she smiled warmly at me.

“Tamara, you’re awake!” Mallory cried and jumped over to hug me.

“Hi…how long was I out?” I asked her.

“A few days now, almost a week.”

“What happened?” I asked her. I tried to think back to before I woke up but I found nothing.

“The doctor said you might experience this.”

“Experience what?”

We were interrupted by the doctor coming back in with some water, which I drank greedily.

“Ms. Taylor, how are you feeling? Are you experiencing any discomfort?” He used the little flashlight to check my eyes then he checked my temperature.

“No, well my head hurts a little,” I answered. He looked very young for a doctor, he had fine brown hair and sharp features too.
