A single tear rolled down her face as she sucked in a breath. Reaching up, I wiped her tear away and softly said, “By the way, I’m a huge Patriots fan.”
Laughing, Harmony threw her body into mine as I wrapped my arms around her and picked her up.
“Preston, take me home. I want you to make love to me.”
Chapter 19
Life Moves On
Harmony
Preston rushed back to his parents’ house, practically pulling my arm out in the process. Walking in through the back door, everyone turned to look at us.
“Hey!” Preston said with a quick wave.
“Where’s the fire?” Angie asked as she threw her head back and laughed. Preston stopped and looked at her while I attempted to hold back my chuckle.
“Like I’ve never heard that before, Angie,” Preston said as he gave her a soft push.
Sitting down on one of the stools at the kitchen island, I was about to say something when Preston turned and looked at me with a shocked expression. “Why are you sitting there? Shouldn’t you be packing?”
Standing up, I pressed my lips together and nodded as I made my way out of the kitchen and up to the guest room. Taking the stairs two at a time, I raced up them. The sooner I packed up, the faster I’d be in Preston’s arms again.
Grabbing my bag, I quickly packed my things up.
“So, you sure are in a rush.”
Jumping, I spun around and let out a nervous chuckle when I saw Angie standing in the doorway. “Oh, hey.”
“I thought you were staying a few days? You know, take in that fresh country air.”
“Um,” I said in almost a whisper.
Shit. What in the heck am I going to tell Angie? Oh, hey, I want to leave so I can have sex with your brother and not worry about your parents hearing?
Chewing on my upper lip, I tried to think of an excuse. “Well…I…umm…we need to—”
Looking behind Angie, I smiled when I saw those green eyes. “Baby, you need help packing up?”
My stomach dipped the moment Preston called me baby. Slowly shaking my head, I said, “Nope, I don’t have much to get.”
Pushing his sister out of the way, he walked into the room and slowly began to close the door on her. Angie’s mouth dropped open as she put her hand on the door. “Excuse me, I was talking to Harmony.”
“Well, it’s my turn now, little sister.” With one hard push, the door closed and Preston locked it.
Turning to me, Preston smiled. My heartbeat must have increased tenfold just from that smile. “Preston,” I whispered as he made his way over to me.
Wrapping me up in his arms, he brought his lips to mine and kissed me. “Jesus, Harmony. I’ve had a taste of you and it’s all I can think about. You are consuming my thoughts.”
Giggling against his lips, I spoke. “I feel the same. Preston, I need to feel you inside of me.” Grabbing my hair, Preston pulled my head back, exposing my neck to his mouth. Kissing along it, I let out a low, deep growl as I felt Preston’s hard dick pressed into my body.
“Soon, baby. I’m going to pack my bag and in a few hours we will be back in Boston.”
Dropping his grip on me, Preston took a step back as I jutted my lower lip out. Walking backward toward the door, Preston slowly shook his head. “What are you doing to me?”
Placing my fingers over my lips, I felt as if they were still tingling. “The same thing you’re doing to me, apparently.”
Flashing me a smile that made my knees about buckle underneath me, Preston turned, unlocked the door, and raced toward his room in the attic.
Quickly racing to the guest bathroom, I grabbed everything and threw it into my bag. Taking in a deep breath, I glanced at myself in the mirror.
“Oh my.” Leaning in closer, I took a good look at myself. The last time I’d looked at myself closely, I’d had bags under my eyes, my face was too thin, and my eyes looked blank. The reflection I saw in the mirror now was of someone who was happy. My eyes were a sparkling blue again and I saw life in them.
Smiling, I quickly wrapped my hair up in a bun and applied a light shade of pink to my lips.
Closing my eyes, I thought back to what Jake had said to me on the phone a few weeks back.
“Harmony, it’s time to start living again. It’s time to get your sparkle of life back. If you would only just allow your heart to open.”
Taking a deep breath, I slowly blew it out. “It’s hard, Jake. I’ve lost so much and to open it again and risk losing it all over…I’m not sure I can.”
“I know, Harmony. I know. But trust me, the moment you let that wall you’ve built around your heart fall, you will never regret it.”
