I whip the shirt over my head and throw it to the floor.
He opens the drawer and pulls out the handcuffs. He dangles them in front of my face and smirks. “It’s been too long.”
I draw in a long breath when he cuffs my hands together. He kneels on the bed and slowly kisses my neck, the hot, openmouthed kisses trailing across my skin. My pulse thrums beneath my skin when he travels down, taking my nipples in his mouth one by one.
His tongue swirls and skims across my body, tasting every inch of my skin. Each lick is like a blazing swipe of fire, searing into me, branding me to him.
As Tyler travels down across my stomach, he hooks his fingers in the sides of my shorts and pulls. “No knickers. Good girl,” he hums against my hips.
“Surprise.” My voice hitches as he presses his lips to the top of my thigh.
He smiles against my skin and removes my shorts completely. After discarding his own shirt, he bends down and bends my legs up. My chest rises and falls frantically, my breathing harsh. His fingers tease the inside of my closed thighs, working their way between them.
But more than that, his breath on my pussy. Oh, god. I close my eyes as he parts my legs fully and blows on me. I clench everywhere, anticipation trembling in my legs.
“This,” he murmurs, kissing my clit. “I love this. You, ready and wet, waiting for me. I’m addicted to this sight.”
He rolls his tongue along me slowly, tasting me deeply, and I shudder.
“I’m addicted to this taste. You on my tongue.”
He rubs my clit with his thumb and slips his tongue inside me. The feeling of both is intense and pushes me close to the edge, my body trembling.
“I’m addicted to this feeling. You clenching around me.” He dives his tongue back inside me and pinches my clit and I let it go.
I let the orgasm shudder through me, and Tyler climbs up my body. He discards his pants and underwear and lifts my legs, sinking into me slowly.
I sigh, still high from my quick orgasm, and hook my handcuffed wrists around the back of his neck. He taps my butt lightly and slips his hands up my back to my shoulders. One goes farther, cupping the back of my head, and he rocks his hips against me.
He fucks me deep and slow, hard and easy. He fucks me with passion and love mixed into both his thrusts and his kiss. He fucks me until there isn’t a part of me not crying out for the release, until there isn’t a part of my skin that doesn’t want to be against his.
Until we’re slicked with sweat. Until our breaths mingle so closely that they become one. Until my cries drown out his own low groans.
My pussy tightens around his cock and he changes his pace, going from slow to fast in seconds. The relentless final pounds are all it takes, and I come apart, his name a sobbed cry on my lips.
Because it’s too much.
The force of his love washes over me with more of a hit than the orgasm. I feel it wholly, and I feel mine. I feel it over addiction, over cravings, over everything else I feared at the start.
But I feared the wrong thing. I feared addiction when I should have feared love, because it won’t be addiction that breaks me.
It wasn’t addiction that hurt when we were apart. It wasn’t a craving for his touch or his skin that scarred me.
It was love.
It was my heart that was broken, my soul that needed healing.
My love for him runs deeper than my addiction. Addiction can be cured. It can be eased. It can even be erased entirely. You can’t do that with love. It’s incurable. Nothing but the power of another love can rid your heart of it.
And that’s the be-all, end-all.
I’m addicted to Tyler, yes. I’m addicted to the way his voice sounds and the way my skin buzzes when he touches me. But I’m in love with his smile and the way he looks at me. I’m in love with the way he forgets to put the toilet seat down and the way he thinks I won’t notice his dirty socks stuffed behind the laundry hamper.
I’m in love with him, completely and utterly, entirely and wholly.
I wrap my arms around myself as I watch my now-married best friend glide across the dance floor with her new husband. Eight years coming. Seven years of pain. One year of happiness.
I’m struck with how much she deserved it. Coincidence—or fate, if you believe in that—brought them together after so long. And the smile on her face as she looks into his eyes tugs at my heart.
Love.
Quite simply, love. Nothing more and nothing less.
