Unforgettable Love

“Oh shit. I’m going with son-of-a-bitch,” Sierra said as she stared straight ahead.

Once we got home and Sierra walked into my house, she practically collapsed onto the sofa. Pulling her into my arms, I held her while she cried. I knew she was trying to be brave and that broke my heart in two. In no time at all, Sierra was asleep in my arms.

Holding her close to me, I vowed I would never allow anything like what happened today to happen to her again. Blowing out a breath, I closed my eyes and thought back to earlier today when I got a terrible feeling in my gut. My parents have always told me to listen to my gut, and I’m damn glad I did. The moment I pulled away from the house that morning, something felt off.

Then when Sierra’s alarm to her house sent me a text, I knew right away it was that asshole. The fucker was lucky I didn’t kill him. Anger began to boil up inside of me as Sierra stirred in my arms. I promised her I’d never let him touch her again and I failed her. Fucking hell.

Kissing her gently on the forehead, I whispered, “No one will ever hurt you again. I promise you, Sierra. As God as my witness, I will protect you with my whole being.”

My eyes grew heavy as I leaned my head back and closed them. Sleep soon took over as I held the one person I would love forever and always.

Waking up to Princess jumping on me, I yelled for her to get down off the sofa. “You know better, you big ole baby.”

My sixty-pound golden retriever jumped off the sofa as Sierra stretched and let out a soft moan that rushed through my veins and caused my dick to jump. As much as I wanted her, I didn’t want to do anything to upset her or make her feel uncomfortable.

Sliding out from under Sierra, I glanced at my watch. “Shit, we better get ready for dinner and our night out.”

Sierra’s eyes were filled with something I’d never seen before, and it scared the piss out of me. “Okay,” she whispered as she stood up and gave me a weak smile.

Keeping my distance from her for fear I wouldn’t be able to control myself, I headed into the master bedroom and grabbed a change of clothes. Sierra walked in behind me and immediately looked at the bed. Turning back to me, she smiled and raised her eyebrows.

Damn it. What was going through her mind? Was she thinking about what that asshole did to her? Shaking my head, I turned and looked away as I fought to control my anger. Quickly walking into the bathroom, I turned on the cold water and began splashing my face. Sierra telling the police what happened in detail had me feeling sick to my stomach. What if I hadn’t gone back? Would he have raped her? How could he do something like that to someone he claimed to love?

Looking up into the mirror, I pushed my hands through my hair and cursed under my breath.

Sierra walked up to me and wrapped her arms around my waist as she kissed my back. “I won’t break, Aaron. Your touch is the only thing that will keep me sane right now. Please don’t pull away from me. My head is spinning right now with questions as to why you won’t touch me or look at me like you want me.”

Pulling her arms from around my waist, I spun around. Cupping her face with my hands I took her all in. She was breathtaking. Beautiful beyond any words I could use to describe her. “Sierra. I’m not pulling away, baby. I feel the same way. I’m not sure what’s going through your head. I’d never want to push you or make you feel uncomfortable in any way. Baby, I want to make love to you so bad, it’s physically hurting my body to keep from touching you.”

Giving me a smile that literally made my knees shake, Sierra whispered, “Make love to me, Aaron. Please push today away and fill me with your love.”

Pressing my lips to Sierra’s, I reached down and picked her up. Carrying her over to the bed, I gently placed her down as we never broke contact with our lips.

I spent the next five minutes kissing her and telling her how much I loved her as I moved my hands over her body. It didn’t take long for us to both be naked as I continued to worship her body with my hands and lips. Needing for her to know how much I loved her, I took my time.

Sierra’s back arched as I slipped my fingers inside of her and sucked in her lower lip. Whispering my name against my lips, Sierra let out a soft moan as I deepened our kiss yet again. Slipping her fingers through my hair, Sierra pulled hard as she purred, “More.”

Moving over her, I looked deep within her blue eyes. The love I saw had my heart racing as I saw nothing but my future with this stubborn, smart-ass woman who, next to my mother, was the strongest woman I’d ever known.

Pushing slowly inside her, I softly kissed her lips. “Look into my eyes, Sierra. Do you see how much I love you? If you could look into my soul, you’d see you fill it completely.”
