Saved (Tempted #2)

by Heather Doltrice

  He had tried to explain but I didn’t want to relive that night. But I decided to suck it up. It was time to talk about it.

  “Okay, I’m listening,” I told him, tracing my pendant with my finger.

  “The day of the party Roman told me that it was getting too serious. He said that I would never be good enough for you. He wasn’t doing it to sabotage our relationship. He was trying to keep me from getting hurt when it was time for you to move on to the life you were supposed to do. So, I texted you to meet at the party and I had everything sat up so you would catch me with her. Everything I said to you nearly killed me. What we had was real and I did love you, I still do.”

  Everything I wanted to tell him was on the tip of my tongue but I couldn’t get it out. I should have told him what happened, what we lost. But I couldn’t.

  Not yet.

  “I immediately regretted it and tried to call you but you didn’t answer. A few hours later I heard about your wreck. I came to see you but your dad wouldn’t let me. He told me that you didn’t need me in your life and that I had caused you enough hurt. I knew he was right but I couldn’t stay away from you. I came to the hospital every day you were there,” he said, pulling me in closer to him.

  I didn’t know he came to see me. My parents never told me, I mean not that I blame them for not letting him in. But they could have let me know. I went all these years thinking he never even tried to see me while I was in the hospital. And I always thought it was Emma calling me that night. I had no idea it was really West.

  “I thought I meant nothing to you. That’s why I’ve ran all these years,” I told him, looking down at my feet.

  “Hey, look at me,” he said, “You mean everything to me and that’s why I’ve chased you for all these years. We can do this again, I have faith in us.”

  I didn’t know how my parents would take it. I didn’t know if I could let go of all the pain inside of me. But I did know that I wanted him and that I loved him more than life itself.

  “What are we going to tell my parents? You’re not exactly their favorite person right now,” I asked, waiting to see if he caught that was going to give us a second chance.

  “Please tell me that I heard you right. Are we back together?” he asked, jumping up from the bed.

  “Yeah, that’s exactly what I said,” I told him, smiling from ear to ear at his reaction.

  “Well, what are you doing?”

  “Sitting.”

  “I can see that, smartass. Get over here and kiss your man.”

  Laughing, I did just that. He pulled me up as I wrapped my legs around his waist. The cool metal of his lip ring brushed against my lips. Feeling his tongue press against my lips begging for entrance, I opened them. His tongue danced with mine. The need was evident.

  “West?” I asked, pulling away from the kiss.

  “Yeah, Angel?”

  “Make me feel alive. I want you, now.”

  Chapter 6

  “I’ve missed your body,” he whispered, undressing me.

  He removed every article of my clothing like he was unwrapping a gift.

  “And it’s missed you.”

  He walked me over and placed my gently on the small bed.

  Lying on the bed completely naked, I watched as he undressed himself. It wasn’t fair to have a body like that. Combing my eyes over his tattoos, I saw the one he got after he asked me to be his forever and I agreed. It was a huge M on his ribcage.

  “You like what you see?” he said, motioning toward his body.

  Yes, I did.

  “Nah, nothing I haven’t seen before,” I told him, watching pull the condom out of his discarded pants on the floor.

  “Oh, is that right?” he asked, tearing open the package in his hand.

  He slid the rubber on his erection and I felt my body tingle all over. That man was meant for me but I knew by going all in I gave him the power to break me all over again.

  Watching him walk toward me, I felt the yearning between my legs grew deeper. Instead of letting him crawl on top of me, I got up from the bed and met him halfway.

  “What are you doing? You can’t get me naked and then change your mind.”

  “I’m not changing my mind. I want you to sit on the chair,” I told him pointing to it.

  West drew his eyebrows together in confusion.

  “What? Why?” he asked, looking at me like I had lost my mind.

  “Because I want to ride you and let you watch,” I told him, pushing him down on to the chair.

  “Please tie up! We can role play I’ll be Ana and you can be Christian,” he said, falling back on the seat.

  Even when we were about to have sex for the first time in years, he had to make a joke.

  “Shut up, Babe. I want to make you feel good and I don’t want your big mouth ruining it.”

  “I’ll my mouth to use later on,” he said, shooting me a wink, “Now, come on and show me what I’ve been missing.”

  Turning around, I gave him a full view of my body. Hearing him suck in a breath, I smiled. He always made me feel confident and sexy.

  Climbing into his lap, I slowly grinded my way on to him until I could feel every inch of him inside of me.

  “Damn, I forgot how good you felt,” he said, running hands up and down my thighs.

  He dug his fingers into the flesh of my thighs and I felt my body stiffen from the pleasure. I sucked on his neck as he whispered dirty things in my ear.

  “The things I want to do to you should be illegal but if they want to lock me up for tasting every inch of your body, then they can take me. Because I promise I’m tasting all of you before the night ends.”

  I pounded down on top of him. I wanted feel every inch of him. Feeling him in my core, ran my finger nails down his back leaving my mark.

  Pressing my mouth on his, I let him devour me. Grinding harder on him, I heard his breathing getting heavier. I pulled gently on his lip ring with my teeth.

  “I knew that getting that lip piercing was a smart move,” he said, placing small kisses all over my neck.

  I felt an intense amount of pleasure rip through my body. Shaking, I fisted his hair as the pressure got stronger.

  I had one word to describe that orgasm.

  Epic.

  “That’s my girl. But Angel, we’re far from through. Go lay on the bed.”

  Getting off him, I felt him give me a smack on the ass.

  “Yes, Sir,” I said, making a show out of walking over to the bed.

  “I swear your body was meant for me to worship,” he said, never taking his eyes from me.

  “How do you want me?”

  “On your back with your legs spread. Think you can handle that?”

  “Like this?”

  “You’re so beautiful.”

  Lying flat on my back, I slowly spread my legs open inviting him back in. Propping myself up on one elbow, I smiled when I saw the look in his eyes. It was just the reaction I was looking for. It was written all over his face.

  Hunger.

  “Come here, Handsome,” I told him, beckoning with my finger for him to join me.

  “I’m coming and it’s gonna be in more ways than one,” he said, walking toward me.

  I didn’t know if I could ever get tired of looking him, naked or clothed. He was like a walking piece of art. His face was literally a masterpiece.

  He pushed me until I was lying back completely.

  “It’s time for me to rock your world.”

  He already rocked my world just by loving me like he did. But what he didn’t know was he completely destroyed me for anyone else.

  He was my world. He held the power to make it turn or to make it stand completely still.

  I was giddy with excitement wondering what he was going to do to me. Sex with him was different every time.

  Feeling his teeth nipping at my ear, I sucked in a breath. He was the king of foreplay, he knew just what he was doing. And he did it very well.

&
nbsp; “Babe, I can’t take the foreplay. Please,” I said breathlessly.

  “When did you get so needy?”

  “I’ve needed this for a while.”

  “Well, let me put you out of your misery and screw you like you want me to,” he said, tracing my nipple with his tongue.

  He placed small kisses all the way from my breast until he landed between my legs. And that’s when he gave me the most sensual kiss of all. His tongue hungrily lick my slit. Feeling him suck me in all the right places, I arched my back and gripped the sheets.

  “Oh, yes. Just like that. Keep going,” I moaned in pleasure.

  That just encouraged him further because he really put his tongue to work. He started to move it fiercely across my clit. Feeling him pull away, I blew out of a frustrated breath. I was just about to come again and he completely stopped.

  “You’re not supposed to take your tongue away. It was just getting to the good part,” I complained, pretending to pout.

  “Calm your tits. Have I ever let you down? In bed, I mean?”

  “In bed? No, never.”

  It was the truth, he knew where to touch me.

  “I’m going to touch you and I want you to touch me,” he said, slipping a finger inside of me.

  Closing my eyes, I bit my lip as he pumped his finger in and out of me.

  “I’m so hard for you, Angel.”

  Opening my eyes, I looked down at his length and started to stroke it. I started off gently and then sped up.

  “Shit, you’re so good at this.”

  Smiling, I placed his hard on between my breast and started moving up and down.

  “I’m about to erupt so if you don’t want it on your face you need to move now,” he said, warning me, “But it would be so hot if you didn’t.”

  I didn’t budge, I just kept moving. Feeling his explosion spraying on my face, I smiled. We had never done anything like that before.

  Even though he had finished, he kept moving his finger until I came again. He was hell bent on it.

  Feeling my body tingle all over, I let out a small laugh as I had my second orgasm of the night. I never had just one with him.

  He kissed me sweetly before falling on his back, gasping for air. Mimicking him, I looked over at the man lying next to me. He wasn’t perfect, he was broken and scared. Some would even say beyond repair but I knew deep down in my soul he was perfect for me.

  “Ready for round two?” I asked jokingly.

  “I thought you’d never ask,” he said, getting off the bed to get another condom from his pocket.

  I didn’t think he would actually want to go again but I couldn’t complain. I wanted to see what he chose to do to my body this time.

  Watching him sit on the chair, I looked at him silently asking what he was doing.

  “I want to put on a show for me, touch yourself,” he said, slowly jerking his self off.

  Scooting up to the edge of the bed, I grabbed my breast and started to rub my nipples.

  If he wanted a show that’s exactly what he was going to get.

  Chapter 7

  Standing behind the counter of Sweetie Pie’s, I tried to focus on the customer’s orders. But my mind kept slipping back to last night and our earthshattering reunion. My boss, Sophia, kept looking at me kind of funny.

  Feeling my phone vibrate in my back pocket, I pulled it out and checked. It was from West.

  Shocker.

  West- Die A Happy Man- Thomas Rhett.

  Smiling, I slipped my phone back in my pocket. We weren’t supposed to use our phones. So, I silently prayed that my boss hadn’t seen me.

  “I know those salted caramel cupcakes ain’t the reason for that dreamy look on your face,” she said, boxing up various pastries in a to-go container.

  “They are pretty dreamy but no, they’re not the reason. I’m thinking about my boyfriend,” I told her, smiling like a big dork.

  But then panic started to set in. Should I have been talking to my boss about my personal life? I wanted to make a good impression on her because one day I wanted to own a bakery. It was my dream. Well, one of them.

  “Anybody I know?” she asked, smiling at me.

  Thank God. She seemed cool with me talking about it. That was great news for me because I wasn’t sure that I could’ve stopped myself from talking about him. You know the feeling when you’re so in love with someone. All you want to do is talk about them when you aren’t around them. It was the can’t eat, can’t sleep, over the moon kind of love. And I knew this time around we could make it.

  We still had things to talk about but I had some time for that. I wanted us to be drama free for a little while.

  She had just moved her from Charleston so she wasn’t hip to the gossip around town just yet.

  “No, I don’t think so.”

  “Well I’d like to meet him one day. Anyone that can make you smile like that must be pretty special.”

  “He is, he really is.”

  Hearing the bell ding indicating that someone had just walked in, I lifted my head and saw West and Ethan walking in.

  “Hey Sophia, you really want to meet him?” I asked, feeling my knees try to go out at just the sight of him.

  “Yeah, why?”

  “Now’s your chance,” I told her, pointing to the doorway.

  “Which one? Please tell me the one with the lip ring. I mean not that the other one ain’t a cutie.”

  “He’s the one with the lip ring,” I told her, laughing.

  “Hey Angel,” West said, walking toward the counter.

  “Hey Babe, what are you doing here?”

  “I couldn’t stay away from you. I had to see you, so Roman put me out of the shop until I got you out of my system. I told him if that was the case he needed to fire me. Come out here and kiss me,” he said, running his hands through his hair.

  Looking back at Sophia, I saw her nod her head in approval. Not wasting a second, I ran out to the front and jumped into West’s inked up arms.

  “I’ve missed you,” he whispered into my hair.

  “You just seen me three hours ago,” I told him, laughing at his new found neediness.

  “Three hours is way too long to go without looking at that beautiful face.”

  He kissed me like he hadn’t seen me in days, right in front of my boss. But I was totally okay with that.

  “Oh, come on. You guys have been back together for like thirteen hours stop acting like Noah and Allie. Also, get a room,” Ethan said, shaking his head.

  “Don’t worry about that. I have every intention of taking my smoking hot girlfriend into a bedroom just as soon as I can,” West said, placing his hand on my forehead,” Angel, you feel kind of warm. Do you have any fever?”

  “Shut up, you know I’m not sick. Your just trying to get me out of here,” I told him, slapping his hand away.

  “You can’t blame a man for trying,” he said, stealing a quick kiss before putting me down.

  “Hi, I’m Ethan. Mad-dog didn’t introduce me because she doesn’t have any manners,” I heard Ethan tell Sophia.

  He was right, I had been so caught up in West and his magical tongue that I had forgotten to introduce them to each other.

  “She is kind of rude, isn’t she?” Sophia asked, winking at me.

  “I’m standing right here, ya know?” I told them, putting my hands on my hips, “Sophia, this is my boyfriend, West and our friend, Ethan. West and Ethan, this is my boss, Sophia. There, is that better?”

  “Good to meet you boys. Maddie, you can go ahead and take your break,” Sophia said, walking in the back of the bakery.

  “Thank you,” I told her, grabbing West’s hand and leading him to a small booth.

  “You two are not getting rid of me. I’m going to be the third wheel and I’m going to rock the shit out of it,” Ethan said, sliding in the booth.

  “We’ve got to get you a girlfriend or at least a one night stand,” West told him, sliding in the booth.


  Laughing, I slid in beside him and he pulled me as close as he possibly could.

  “How about it, Maddie? You want to go on a date with me?” Ethan said, giving his sexy eyes.

  “Hey, hey back off. She’s taken, I worked my ass off to get her back. But Sophia is kind of cute,” West told him, smiling.

  “Dude, she’s like eighty,” Ethan said, pretending to shudder at the thought.

  That wasn’t true, she was sixty-seven.

  “What about Grace?” I asked, remembering her crush on him.

  His face immediately went red.

  “We will get you a date with Gracie. Now please shut up and let me talk to my girl,” West said, trying to tell Ethan to take a hike.

  “I’m going get a cupcake. Sophia would be better company then you two anyway,” he said, getting up from the booth.

  “Now that he’s gone, talk dirty to me,” West said in my ear.

  “My parents want to have dinner with you tonight,” I whispered seductively in his ear.

  “I said talk dirty to me not try to scare me half to death.”

  “It won’t be scary. You know my parents love you.”

  “No, they loved me. Past tense. You know before the whole Marilyn thing. I saw your dad last month and I tried to talk to him. He didn’t talk to me, he answered with his resting bitch face. Which is really good by the way.”

  “I promise everything will be okay.”

  “I’m only doing this because maybe after dinner you’ll let me do very bad things to you.”

  “I think that can be arranged. Are you going to spend the night?”

  “Why do you even ask these questions when you already know the answer.”

  Laughing, I placed a quick, wet kiss on his lips. Kissing him with his lip ring was like the sexiest thing ever

  “I love that lip piercing. What are you going to get pierced next?”

  Biting his lip, he looked down at his lap. Okay, I take it back if he got a piercing below the belt that would be the sexiest thing ever.

  “That would be so hot. When are you going to do it?”

  “I was thinking tomorrow after work. Do you want to come? Pun intended.”

  “Yes, in both ways.”
