Edge of Love

by E. L. Todd

  He raised an eyebrow. “You’re not?”

  “No,” I said. “You’re such a great guy, Sean. I can’t think of anyone else who would do that.”

  He shrugged. “I couldn’t care less about her, but what happened in our relationship shouldn’t ruin her whole life. I’m not that petty.”

  I smiled. “I think I love you even more.”

  He sighed. “I was not expecting this reaction.”

  I rubbed my nose against his. “I think you should still tell your mother something. Say she broke up with you but didn’t say why.”

  “I don’t want to lie.”

  “Well, your mother is going to snoop around until she finds the truth.”

  “I know,” he said. “I’ll think of something.”

  “You better think of something soon.”

  “I’ll just tell her I left her for you and that I was cheating on her.”

  I slapped his arm. “I thought you just said you didn’t want to lie.”

  “Yeah, but I can’t think of any other way to drop it.”

  “And it makes you look like a jerk. And I look like an adulteress. You shouldn’t have to sacrifice your reputation for her.”

  “Well, my parents know I used to be a huge horndog.”

  “Well, you aren’t anymore.”

  “Definitely not.”

  “Just tell them she dumped you. It’s plain and simple.”

  He sighed. “I’ll think about it.”

  “Thank you.” I closed my eyes and breathed in his scent. “I want to go home, Sean.”

  “Me, too.”

  “I miss Ryan.”

  He laughed. “You guys sound like Greek siblings.”

  I hit him on the shoulder. “Don’t be gross.”

  “Have you talked to him?”

  “We just got off the phone.”

  He nodded. “So he knows the whole story,” he said sadly. “Does he hate me and my family now?”

  “He doesn’t care for your mom, but he doesn’t hold you accountable for their actions. He knows it’s not your fault.”

  He breathed a sigh of relief. “Thank god.”

  “Can we leave early tomorrow morning? I would rather sit in the terminal for a few hours than be here.”

  “Whatever my fiancé wants,” he said. “But I would rather go to a hotel so we can have sex as loud as we want.”

  “That’s a waste of money.”

  He smiled. “We can just do it on the plane again. It’s more economical that way.”

  I laughed. “They’ll probably be watching us this time.”

  “A challenge. I like it!”

  I laughed again. “I love you so much.”

  His eyes softened. “I love you, too. I’m so sorry you have to put up with this bullshit. It’s the last thing I ever want you to deal with.”

  “It’s okay.”

  “Are you still mad at me?”

  I shook my head. “No. But please don’t hide anything from me again.”

  “I promise.”

  I wrapped my arms around his neck and held him close to me. “Ryan said he and Cortland can be your brothers.”

  He smiled at me. “Good. Now I get to tease you like they do.”

  My face fell. “Damn.”

  He laughed. “I’m honored to be a part of your family. I’ve always thought of Ryan and Cortland as my brothers anyway. I wish I could reciprocate.”

  “As long as I have you, I don’t need anything else.”

  “I’m glad you’re settling for me.”

  I looked at him. “I’m definitely not settling.”

  “Let’s be real, Scarlet. I used to be a disgusting pervert. I told women I loved them just to take their virginity, and then I left them without calling them back. When I got into college, I did the same thing but on a grander scale. I lived that life until I met Penelope. I’m not a good person, babe.”

  “I admit that you were a horrible person in that respect, but you’re an amazing guy in every other way. Besides, you’re completely different now. You would never do something like that to me.”

  “It doesn’t change anything. I used to be a man that every father hated.”

  “Well, I can say with complete confidence that my father would love you.”

  He smiled at me. “I don’t want to have any girls. Only boys.”

  I laughed. “I’ll do my best. And what’s your problem with girls? They’re adorable.”

  “I just don’t want them to end up with a guy like me.”

  “Well, you’ll be able to see them from a mile away.”

  He nodded. “I guess that’s true.”

  “And not all women care about that. Some women have a casual sex lifestyle. It’s not a big deal.”

  “Our daughters won’t.”

  I sighed. This conversation was going nowhere. “You should go back downstairs.”

  “Come with me.”

  “I have no interest in being around your brother and mother right now. You father is the only person I like.”

  He smiled. “My father is pretty awesome.”

  “He’s adorable.”

  He stared at me. “Do I have some competition?”

  I smiled. “He’s pretty cute.”

  He laughed. “My father would blush crimson red if he thought you had the hotts for him.”

  “I don’t know why he picked your mother of all people.”

  He sighed. “I admit that my mom has been nothing short of a bitch this weekend, but please don’t say mean things about her. It makes me uncomfortable.”

  My heart ached. “You’re right. I’m sorry.”

  “You know I’ll defend you in every fight. You’re the most important thing in the world to me. I could live without my family, my friends, money, food, and shelter, but I couldn’t live without you. I would do anything just to keep you in my life. I’m wrapped around your finger, Scarlet. You could treat me like shit and I would still be with you. I love you so fucking much it hurts. My mother’s opinion about our engagement has no effect on me. Even if she hated you, it would change nothing. She can complain about my job, where I live, my breakup with Penelope, but it doesn’t matter. It pisses me off, but it doesn’t matter, okay?”

  My eyes softened at his words. He loved me so much. “Okay.”

  “In my heart, I know she’s trying to do what’s best for me.”

  I sighed. “I’m sure she is.”

  He rose from the bed. “Now let’s go.”

  I groaned.

  “It’s our last night here. Let’s make the best of it.”

  “What do you think I’m doing?”

  He smiled. “I’ll make it up to you tonight.”

  “How about right now?”

  He laughed. “First, you refused to have sex, but now you want to do it all the time.”

  “It’s like we’re at home.”

  “It’s exactly like we’re at home.” He came back to the bed and leaned over me. “How do you want it?”

  “I want you to go down on me.”

  His eyes became more intense as he looked at me. “You’re a whore.”

  “I know.”

  “As long as you’re honest about it.”

  “But you know why, right?”

  He pressed his lips against mine then kissed me gently. “Because you’re only like this with me?”

  I ran my hands up his chest. “Yes.”

  He lifted up my dress then pulled down my underwear. He pulled me to the foot of the bed then lowered himself to his knees. His lips kissed me gently and I moaned. Suddenly, he pulled away. “I’m sorry about everything, Scar.”

  I dug my fingers into his hair then pulled his face to the apex of my thighs. “Prove it.”

  He laughed. “I will.”

  His lips were on me again. I leaned back and closed my eyes, enjoying the feel of his tongue pleasing me. He knew exactly what he was doing and I loved it. Sometimes I was jealous that he was with so many other
women, but when he made me come hard, I forgot about his past. Now that we’re getting married, I knew it didn’t matter anymore. He would only make love to me for the rest of our lives. I clenched his hair harder as he made me moan. “Sean.”

  He pressed his tongue inside me.

  I moaned again. “Sean.”

  His thumb rubbed my clitoris while he gently kissed me, and I felt the flood of emotion surge through my body, making me shake.

  “You’re almost there, babe.”

  “Sean.”

  “Your legs are shaking for me.”

  “Sean.”

  “Come on.”

  I gripped his hair and tried to keep my whimpers down to a minimum. The explosion ran through my body and made me shake with pleasure. I couldn’t hold back my moan and it came out louder than I wanted. It just felt so good that I couldn’t hold it back. “Sean.” When my moment passed, I felt the sweat on my breasts and the rise and fall of my chest. My body felt scorching hot and I suddenly felt tired and relaxed. The orgasm seemed to dull the stress I was feeling.

  Sean rose from the foot of the bed then leaned over me. “Did you enjoy that?”

  “You couldn’t tell?”

  He smiled. “It always works on me.”

  “I know it does. I’m going to be upset more often.”

  “That works for me.”

  I grabbed his shoulders then pulled him on top of me. “I love you.”

  “And I love you, Scar. More than anything in the world.”

  I rubbed my nose against his. “Even blow jobs?”

  He laughed. “Well…I don’t know. They’re pretty amazing. At least yours are.” I pinched him. “But I think you’re the clear winner.”

  “Damn right I am.”

  “Well, you’re a hot piece of ass.”

  “You got that right.”

  “And what about me?”

  I shrugged. “You’re okay to look at.”

  He shook his head. “One of these days you’re going to admit how fine you think I am.”

  “I don’t think I need to tell you. It’s pretty clear.”

  He leaned down and kissed me between my thighs again. I moaned quietly. “You’re right. It is pretty clear. But it doesn’t hurt to say it once in a while.”

  I wrapped my legs around his waist and pulled him towards me. “You’re right. You’re the sexiest, most gorgeous man that I’ve ever seen. You make me so horny that I want to have sex all day long. I need you to pound into me with your massive dick and make me scream your name.” Sean swallowed the lump in his throat as he listened to me. I saw the formation of a bulge in his pants. “And when you’re inside of me, I have to bite my lip so I don’t beg you to fuck me harder. And the sight of your gorgeous body makes me shake. Just the feel of your fingers inside my body makes me come immediately.” Sean stared at me while he unbuttoned his jeans. “I want you all day, every day, because you’re irresistible and delicious. I’ve never loved sucking cock more in my life.”

  He moaned while he pulled his underwear down. “Now I have to fuck you, Scar.” He leaned over me and separated my legs. “Keep going.”

  “And I love watching the sweat drip from your chest when you fuck me. It rolls off your skin and onto my body and makes me yearn for you—”

  Sean inserted himself within me and started to pound into me hard and fast. It felt so good, I lost my train of thought. His breathing was deep and fast. “Keep going, babe.”

  “When I feel you inside of me, I already feel my body mold to you. You make me come harder than any other man has before, and with you I always feel satisfied. You’re the greatest lover I’ve ever had.”

  He thrust into me harder. “Yeah I am.”

  I moved my hands to his ass and pulled him deeper into me. “I love how big you are.”

  “Fuck yes.”

  “And I love your ass. I want to bite it.”

  Sean closed his eyes and started to shake.

  “I love watching you come, babe.”

  His arms started to shake as he thrust into me harder.

  “And I love feeling you come inside me.”

  He moaned. “Scarlet.” He pressed his head against mind while he moaned loudly. “Fuck, Scarlet.”

  “Come for me.”

  He grabbed my face and pressed his close to mine. Our lips were almost touching. “I’m coming. I’m coming. Fuck yes, I’m coming.”

  I rocked my hips below him and finished all the work, letting him enjoy his orgasm.

  “Yes, Scarlet.” He collapsed on top of me.

  I licked the sweat from his shoulders and his neck then ran my fingers through his hair. He said nothing for several moments while he caught is breath. I kissed his forehead and waited for his breathing to return to normal.

  He rolled off of me then looked at me. “That’s what I thought.”

  I smiled. “I meant every word.”

  “That was the best orgasm I’ve ever had.”

  “Really?” I said happily. “You’re welcome.”

  “I want you to do that again.”

  “I’ll do it as often as you like.”

  He leaned over and kissed me on the forehead. “God, I love you.”

  “I love you too.”

  “I’m so goddamn lucky.”

  “Me too.”

  “I can’t believe I get to make love to you for the rest of my life.”

  “And you get to fuck me too.”

  He smiled. “Yeah. I look forward to it.”

  “So do I.”

  He sighed. “Now we definitely need to go downstairs.”

  I groaned. “Do we have to?”

  He laughed. “We can’t stay in here all night.”

  I climbed on top of him and straddled his hips. “Yes, we can. I’ll do that thing you like.”

  He growled. “Don’t tempt me.” He sat up and placed me on the ground. “Come on.”

  I frowned. “Fine.”

  He caught my expression. “We’ll be home tomorrow. I’ll fuck your brains out then.”

  I shook my head. “It’s not just that.”

  “What?”

  I want to snuggle with you, read the paper in the morning with you, curl up on the couch with you. I miss you.”

  He rolled his eyes. “It’s been two days, Scarlet.”

  “I know. I realize how crazy I sound. But I miss you. I can’t believe I lived without you for so long. Now that I have you, I never want to take it for granted.”

  His eyes softened. “I can’t believe you want to be with me all the time. I just don’t feel good enough for you. You’re so amazing, beautiful, prefect in every way. I’m so glad you put up with my bullshit for so long.

  “Sean, forget about it. I’ve moved on and so have you.”

  “I was still an ass.”

  “And you changed. I trust you more than anyone in the world, and I’m so happy.”

  “I’ll never break your trust again, Scarlet. You never have to worry about that.”

  “I know.”

  “I love you, babe.”

  “I love you, too.”

  “And we’ll limit the family trips.”

  “Well, if we had our own hotel room it would be fine.”

  He smiled. “Okay. Next time, I’ll put my foot down.”

  “Be firm.”

  His eyes twinkled. “Like I am with you?”

  I licked my lips.

  He shook his head then headed toward the door, trying to escape from me. “Fuck you, Scarlet.”

  “Please do.”

  He opened the door then walked into the hallway. “I need to get out of here before I fuck you again.”

  I laughed as I followed him out the door.

  When Sean walked into the living room, he sat in the armchair by the fire. Since there was no room I moved to the other couch, but Sean grabbed me by the wrist and pulled me into his lap. He adjusted me then kissed me on the cheek. I was aware of his mother and f
ather staring at us, but Sean didn’t seem to care. He wrapped his arm around my waist and held me close to him.

  I leaned toward his ear. “Your parents are watching us.”

  “I couldn’t care less, Scar.” He kissed me on the forehead then looked at the television. The game was still playing on the screen.

  Diane walked over to us. “Are you feeling better, dear?”

  “Yes, thank you.” I was feeling a lot better, actually. I felt my cheeks blush as she looked at me. It was like she knew her son just ate out my pussy then fucked my brains out. I felt more embarrassed with every passing minute.

  “Dinner will be ready in a few moments,” she said cheerfully. “And the neighbors will be joining us. We took a rain check last week and we couldn’t cancel on them again. Do you mind?

  Sean shook his head. “Not in the least.”

  I was excited they were coming. The attention wouldn’t be on me and Sean the whole time. This was the break I’d been waiting for.

  “Great,” she said as she clapped her hands together.

  Andrew yelled at the television. “Come on, Smith! What the hell is that?”

  Mike shook his head as he drank from his beer.

  Sean smiled at me. “Dad pretends to understand the game but he has no idea what’s going on.”

  Andrew turned to him. “What was that?”

  I laughed at the attempted hostility on his father’s face. Somehow he was always cute without even trying.

  “Can you even see the screen, old man?” Sean teased.

  “I can still spank you, you know.”

  He tightened his arm around my waist. “Scarlet will protect me.”

  I shook my head dramatically. “Andrew, he’s all yours.”

  Sean stared at me. “What the hell, babe?”

  Andrew nodded. “Scarlet is on my team. And if I don’t understand the game, which I do, I can just ask her for guidance.” He looked at me. “Right, dear?”

  I smiled. “Of course.”

  Sean looked at me. “Babe? You’re leaving me for my old man?”

  “Well, you did start it.”

  He shook his head. “You’re just doing this because you think he’s cute.”

  “What?” Andrew said. “You think I’m a stud?”

  I shrugged. “You caught me.”

  His smile widened. “Well, I am pretty good looking.”

  “And that’s a valid point,” I said.

  Andrew nodded toward the kitchen. “Just don’t tell my wife. She’ll get jealous.”
