“I think we should let her get some sleep,” my dad says when he sees Cami yawn.
“No, I’m okay,” she says, but I pull her to me and shake my head.
“They’ll be back tomorrow. We’re waiting to hear if you need to give any more statements before we all go back home.”
Cami nods and then we say goodbyes to Mom and Dad. I can tell none of us want to part, but I think that’s just our own fears taking over. I’m sure with time it will get easier for them. Because I have no intention of letting her out of my sight ever again.
“Come with me, Dimples,” I say as I take her hand.
We walk to back to the bedroom and I close the door.
“Are we going to sleep already?” she asks, looking at the bed.
“No,” I say, grabbing the edge of my T-shirt and pulling it off.
“Oh,” is all she says as her cheeks turn pink.
“We’re going to take a bath.” I grab her hand again and we go into the bathroom, where I turn on the water in the tub.
Her eyes trail over my chest and down my stomach. She was right when she said I was bigger than I used to be, but that’s because I had nothing else to do but work and spend time in the gym. Now that she’s back I plan on spending every moment discovering her body and loving every inch of it.
All these years I’ve only been able to picture her naked, but now I get to see the real thing for the first time and I’m nervous. Doubt begins to creep in as I step closer to her and I need to know that this is still okay.
“You don’t have to tell me about anything you did while we were apart. I just want to make sure that when I touch you, you’re with me.” I twine our fingers together and lean down close and touch my forehead to hers. “Everything is in the past, but from now on you’re mine, Cami—always have been and always will be.”
“I was wondering the same thing about you,” she says, placing her hands on my bare chest and rubbing the dark hair there. “I waited for you, Reed. Did you do the same for me?”
She looks up at me with her big blue eyes so full of hope, and I graze my knuckles along her jawline.
“I told you in second grade I would always take care of you, and that meant holding on to your heart all these years. You’re the only woman I’ve ever loved and ever wanted. I stayed true to my promise because I knew if I couldn’t have you then I wouldn’t have anyone else.”
When I touch my lips to hers it’s like I’m transported back to high school and it’s our first kiss. It’s not fumbling and nervous like you might think a first kiss would be. Instead it’s confident and there’s not one ounce of hesitation.
I reach up and hold her face with both my hands as I take my time and enjoy the feel of her soft lips as she opens for me. I taste her, and though I’m desperate for her, I go slow and I’m gentle. She tastes like she did when we were seventeen and had everything in front of us. Time stood still for the both of us for so long, but now that she’s in my arms it’s clear we’ve picked up right where we left off.
Her fingers tug at the shorts I’m wearing and then I feel her push them down my legs. I break our kiss so that I can help her take my shirt off and then watch her step out of the sweatpants I gave her earlier.
She’s completely naked in front of me and all of my fantasies of her are nothing compared to the real thing. I saw her in a bathing suit several times before and she had more weight on her back then. That place nearly starved her and I’m going to change that every chance I get. But even back when I saw her in not much more than underwear we never crossed that line. There was some dry humping and lots of over-the-clothes action, but it never went beyond that.
Cami is utterly breathtaking and I’ve never wanted to touch her more. Her skin is so pale it glows and she looks as soft as silk. Her dark rose-colored nipples are tight little points on her small breasts. She’s thinner than I’ve ever seen her before and I can see where her ribs dip in before her hips flare out slightly. I stare at the dark patch of hair between her legs and I want to touch her there to see what she feels like.
