Unforgettable Love (Journey of Love #3) Page 47

“I see,” I said, barely above a whisper. Clearing my throat, I let a smile play across my face.

Sierra’s lips parted as she narrowed her eyes. “Are you happy about that?”

Shaking my head. “No. I just realized something.”

“That you’re a dick?”

Chuckling, I reached over and took Sierra’s hand. “I can’t argue with you on that one, but that’s not what I meant. I realized that I’ll never have to go back to the day before.”

Sierra pinched her brows together. “Day before what?”

Standing, I leaned over and captured Sierra’s lips with mine and kissed her softly. Pulling back slightly, I spoke against her lips. “You.”

Sierra’s eyes lit up as she smiled against my lips. “I’m mad at you, Dodge. You can’t say stuff like that when I’m mad at you.”

Jetting out my lip, I pleaded, “Please don’t be mad at me.”

Sierra’s smile grew. “Well, you are here with me and not with her.”

Nodding my head, I raised my eyebrows. “I am here with you, so that has to give me some brownie points.”

Sierra pressed her lips together. “Dodge, I don’t think my heart can take being broken again. I’m afraid you’re going to break my heart and I’ve never felt like this before about anyone. Not even with Robert. I loved him, but with you . . . with you it feels magical. With you it feels like I’m complete and if you were to ever hurt me I think it would destroy my heart and I would never recover from that.”

Sierra sat up as I dropped back down to my knees. “I was ready to give up, Dodge. To me, my happily ever after was never going to happen.”

My heart dropped as I heard the sadness in Sierra’s voice. There was no waiting for the case to be over. There was no more pushing her away. There was only right now.

Standing up, I pulled Sierra up with me and held her in my arms. “I want to be your happily ever after, Sierra.”

A tear escaped from Sierra’s beautiful eyes as she whispered, “Do you promise?”

Placing my finger on her chin, I lifted her lips to mine and kissed her. Pouring as much love into the kiss as I could.

Pulling my lips back, I whispered softly, “I promise.”

Sierra’s eyes lit up and my heart stopped. “Tomorrow morning when I wake up, I want that promise to be true, Dodge.”

Wrapping her arms around me, Sierra pressed her lips against mine and kissed me like I was the very breath she needed to breathe. “Make love to me, Dodge,” Sierra spoke between kisses.

Letting out a moan, I reached for the bottom of her nightgown and lifted it over her head.

“Jesus,” I whispered as I took in her beautiful body. She wasn’t wearing a bra and all I could see were her perfect breasts. Lifting them in my hands, I dropped my head and took a nipple into my mouth. Sierra’s hands moved to my hair where she grabbed a handful and let out soft low moan.

Dropping to my knees, I began kissing her stomach as Sierra dropped her head back and began touching her breasts. Fuck. I’m not going to last one minute inside of her.

Moving my lips farther down her body, I kissed along the lace edge of her boy short panties. Jesus, this woman had sexy dripping off every inch of her body. Lifting my finger up, I traced along the edge of her panties as Sierra whimpered with need.

“Dodge,” she whispered. Standing up quickly, Sierra snapped her head up and looked at me. “What’s wrong?”

Licking my lips, I thought about making love to the only woman I had ever loved. Placing my hand behind her neck, I pulled her to me. “Aaron. I want you to call me Aaron . . . not Dodge. I want the woman I love to say my name when I make love to her for the first time. I changed my name to Dodge when I felt a part of me was missing. You’ve changed that, Sierra. You’ve made me whole again.”

Tears swam in Sierra’s eyes as she closed her eyes and whispered, “Aaron.” Slamming my lips to hers, our kiss became frantic. Gone was the moment of moving slowly. Sierra’s hands fumbled to get my shirt unbuttoned as our lips never stopped moving. Ripping my shirt open, Sierra pushed the shirt off my shoulders as she ran her hands over my chest and abs.

Jesus Christ. I was going to come the moment she touched me. Moving her hands to my pants, they were pushed down before I could even get my thoughts together. I looked down at Sierra on her knees as she licked her lips and pulled my boxer briefs down painfully slowly. When my dick sprang free, Sierra let out a moan and took me in her hands.

“Fucking hell, Sierra.”
