she’s been sick over it ever since. However, she’s an intelligent and resilient girl so she’ll get over it, get over you.”
“Would you like to sit outside, Allie? Fresh air will do you good and room service can bring anything you care for,” William said. “Your things have been moved to the suite next to mine, there’s a rooftop deck; I’d like to at least see that you’re comfortably situated.”
See that I’m comfortably situated ? She wanted to ask. God, she couldn’t help herself, she wanted him to make her uncomfortable — to turn and twist her body to fit the shape of his, to press his strong fingers into her thighs as he lifted them, lifted her….
“Allie, I’ll be leaving in the morning,” her father said, brushing a wisp of hair from her cheek and planting a quick kiss there and shooting a scathing look in William’s direction. “I trust your coming with me, my dear girl. A semester at Oxford will give us time to… reconnect, to make up for time we missed together while you were growing up. Alright, tomorrow’s a brand new day, we’ll meet in the lobby around ten? Goodnight Mr. Warfield, I hope you enjoy the remainder of your stay.”
Chapter Four
“So. You and me on the top floor of a hotel, seems like we did that before and it turned out incredibly well until one of us severely fucked up,” William said, cautiously placing his hand on the small of Allie’s back as he steered her through the lobby and into the elevator.
“One of us sure as fuck did, fuck things up, that is,” Allie said, she moved away from him but his fiery dark eyes held hers across the elevator. “One of us was a complete douche-nozzle and ruined my first love affair, an affair I was enjoying very, very much. Then he showed up today acting all contrite and charming and “Oh, Professor Darling I love your daughter sooooo much, blah, blah, bullshit.” I’d say that about covers it, am I right?”
“You’re right. I was wrong. I was so, so deeply, stupidly wrong and I believed I could control my feelings and fix my brother and… Yes I was wrong and… I miss you, Allie. I miss you so much it’s like part of me has been amputated, and there’s only pain left in the empty space. The space where you were, where you belong . I know with absolute certainty that you are my other half and it will be the fuck-up of the century if we don’t spend our lives loving each other. I’m drawn to everything about you, it’s like the tides under the moon. You and I, we’re a force of nature… an anomaly, the way I love, the way I know you love me— it’s a once in a lifetime gift. I can’t exist without you, Allie, and I refuse to believe you don’t feel the same way. Say you love me, find it in your heart to forgive me, I’ll spend the rest of my days making you happier than you can imagine. Make our lives complete by making us complete.”
“Well, your change of heart is sweet, William, it really is, but I don’t care to be at the mercy of your whims any longer. But that doesn’t mean I won’t use you for sex. Hey, don’t look so shocked, the time we’ve been apart maybe I’ve grown a little wiser and a bit jaded. Maybe now I’m a girl who can just use a guy for sex….”
“Yeah? I don’t think so,” he said, moving across the elevator with one determined step. His hands drew hers up and over her head, pinning them, pinning her against the mirrored wall, his eyes blazed with a wild mix of tenderness and raw desire that made her squirm, made her wet, made her desperate for the touch of his hands, his mouth, his cock... “I think your heart is as lost to me as mine is to you. But I’m willing to give your other theory a try at least for tonight, use me for sex, darling girl. I’m of no use to anyone else since I met you.”
“It seems that you don’t know me at all William. Do you really think I can just turn my emotions on and off to suit your slightest whim? You love me, you love me
