The way we couldn't seem to stay away from each other was unexplicable, but I didn't need an explanation anymore. I didn't even need an excuse. In that moment, I only needed him.
« I want you. »
« I need you to say it, » he said.
My insides were screaming for him and I couldn't stand it a second longer. « I'll say whatever you want. »
« Then say that you belong to me. Say that you'll take me back. I won't do this unless we're together. »
« We're never really been apart, have we ? » I asked, hoping it was enough.
He shook his head, his lips sweeping across mine.
« I need to hear you say it. I need to know you're mine. »
« I've been yours since the second we met. »
My voice took the tone of begging. Any other time I would have been embarrassed, but I was beyond regret. I had fought my feelings, guarded them, and bottled them up. I had experienced the happiest moment of my life while at Eastern, all of them with Travis. Fighting, laughing, loving or crying, if it was with him, I was where I wanted to be.
One side of his mouth turned up as he touched my face, and then his lips touched mine in a tender kiss. When I pulled him against me ; he didn't resist. His muscles tensed, and he held his breath as he slid inside me.
« Say it again, » he said.
« I'm yours. » I breathed. Every nerve, inside and out, ached for more. « I don't ever want to be apart from you again. »
« Promise me, » he said, groaning with another thrust.
« I love you. I'll love you forever. » The words were more of a sigh, but I met his eyes when I said them I could see the uncertainty in his eyes vanish, and even in the dim light, his face brightened.
Finally satisfied, he sealed his mouth over mine.
