“It’s Braden. Not God. Say it and I won’t stop right now. Don’t make me stop, baby. You’re taking these fingers so good.”
“You wanna know something?” He doesn’t wait for me to respond before pushing away from the wall and taking two large steps toward me. “It hurt my feelings when you ditched me the other morning. I had big, big plans for you.”
“Don't go shy on me now, baby. We both know you're anything but.”
“So, are you going to run away from me again? Or have I convinced you that it’s no use?”
There’s no mistaking the feelings that have begun flapping away in my chest. Yet I can’t find it in myself to run and hide from them. I realize now that I actually want them. I want her. Not just for one night, but for every night. I don’t want to drive her home after having her in my bed, making it smell like her. I want to fall asleep beside her warm, naked body and make her breakfast in the morning. I’m not a cook, but I can try. I want to learn her every quirk and flaw. I want to hear about every important moment in her life, good or bad, I don’t care. I just want to know her. She deserves

“Braden’s lucky chain. He gave it to me this morning and told me to have you wear it tonight. I meant to hand it off to you in the car, but Sophie distracted me.”
Fingering the chain around my neck again, I watch Braden as he finally makes his way into the shimmering light.

A cheek-splitting smile spreads across my face as soon as his wandering eyes clash with mine, brimming with so much emotion. A beyond obvious, cheesy wink from my playboy boxer is all it takes to forget about everything and lift my own arms in the air to join in the excited cheers, happier than I have been in years.
Braden’s face falls in my neck again and he shutters a breath against my skin, thrusting up slowly between my legs. “We need to go home, baby.” I nod quickly, anxiously, unable to pretend like that’s not exactly what I want. “Then take me home.”
“I love her, Dad. I love her more than I thought I could love anything or anyone and I hate it. I fucking hate knowing that to be with her, I have to give her the power to hurt me. How is that fair? How am I supposed to want to do that?”
There’s no me without you anymore baby. I’m sorry it took me so long to realize that. Meet me on the roof. I know that you know how to get there. Blame Sophie. I’ll see you soon. P.S if you forgot about me in the past 3 weeks, I’ll spank your ass so hard you won’t be able to sit for another 3. I
