Then she turned and rested her back against the wall, still holding the blanket to her body.
“I feel like all day, every day still isn’t enough time with you.”
I started moving across the room toward her, feeling as if my body grew more alert with each step. Closing the distance, I took one last step and paused, only a few inches remaining between the two of us. With the moonlight reflecting off the water, I could see her clearly, and that deep ache in my chest returned. I didn’t know how I ever managed to avoid this girl, how I didn’t see the beauty she held. Everything about her was amazing, perfect.
Reaching up, I moved away the stray strand of hair that had fallen from the mass still piled atop her head and tucked it behind her ear. There were so many things I wanted to say to her, so many things I wanted to assure her of, but instead I slid my hand around the back of her neck and leaned in to rest my forehead to hers.
I’d always thought there was absolutely no way I could ever feel even close to what I felt for Harley for another girl. In my mind, the possibility of loving another felt unattainable, but at that very moment, I understood that though I loved Harley, what I felt for her was young love, that crazed infatuation between a boy and girl. What I felt for AJ was something different. What I felt for her was hunger, and desire, pure and raw, an ache so deep that I understood nothing could touch it. This woman had managed to grab ahold of me and capture me with her smile alone.
“I adore you, AJ,” I whispered, feeling the tightness in my chest grow even tighter. “What I feel for you both excites me and terrifies me.”
“It scares me too,” she confessed. “Sometimes the fear makes it feel as if I can barely breathe.”
It was too early to confess love, I knew that, but fuck I wanted to. I wanted to tell her that she had woken me up, she had forced me to see that she was exactly who I needed.
“I keep telling myself that I need to move slow with you,” I whispered, pulling her body closer to mine. “But if I’m being honest with myself and with you, I don’t want to go slow. I want everything with you, and I want it now. For the first time in longer than I can remember, I’m happy. I feel so alive when I’m with you.”
“I just want to let go of the fear I feel, and I want to take everything you’re offering me.”
“Then do it,” I pushed her. “Believe me when I tell you that you are all I want, and not just because it is you that is here.” I grabbed her hand and placed it against my bare chest on the space over my heart. “You are here, baby,” I confessed. It was a confession without saying the words. “Please understand that I’m exactly where I wanna be with the one I want to share it with.”
AJ closed her eyes for only a second before she rose up on her tiptoes and pressed her lips to mine. The blanket dropped to the floor, and suddenly her naked body was pressed firmly against my own.
“Show me,” she said against my lips.
I placed one hand behind each of her thighs and lifted her as she hooked her legs around my waist. With her lips still locked on mine, she reached between us and guided my cock to her wetness. The moment I felt her against me my, hips shifted and I slid inside her, hearing her gasp.
Quickly moving her backward, I pressed her to the wall and thrust forward even further, entering her completely. She gripped my shoulders and arched her back, pushing her breasts up and out, bringing them closer to my mouth. Taking full advantage, I trailed my tongue over one erect bud, and she whimpered as I felt her growing even wetter.
“Show me,” she repeated as she shifted her hips against mine. I knew what she was asking, and though I wanted to take things slow, I knew she was in need of something more.
“You want rough?” She nodded, and I felt a surge of excitement race through me. “Say it.” There were so many sides to AJ. Sweet and quiet, but when she got like this, so demanding and hungry, I’ll admit it was unbelievably hot. “Tell me what you need, Allison.”
“You,” she said shifting her hips again, but I still didn’t move. “I need you to take me, Rhett, use me and show me how badly you want me. I need you to take control.”
I pulled back my hips and slowly pushed forward, entering her once more. “Like that?”
She shook her head. “Harder, I need more.”
I pulled back again, only this time when I pushed my hips forward, I did it harder and faster. “Better?”
“Yes,” she panted, “again. More, Rhett.”
My pulse was racing, my legs shook from the rush of adrenaline pumping through me. AJ was more than I’d ever imagined, and it hit me at that moment that I was in love with this girl. I was in love with Allison Jo, and fuck if that didn’t feel amazing.
“Hold on, sweet girl,” I whispered as I gripped her hips and gave her just what she was in desperate need of. AJ owned me, and I knew she still didn’t have a fucking clue.

AJ
“What do you think of this one?” I asked as I turned around to face April, holding a light blue sweater against me. “The blue, or the pink?” I alternated between the two, holding
