The Wright One

DEX

After I got off my shift. I needed a drink. I spent the whole night wondering what the hell they were doing. I knew Hugh was with his grandparents tonight. Does that mean that she is going to spend the night with him?

Finally at one in the morning, my drunk addled brain couldn’t take it anymore. I made my way to her apartment. Not driving because there is no way I could drive. Stumbling up her stairs I knock on her door. Probably far too loudly.

When she opens the door her hair is a mess and she looks panicked, but she has never looked better to me. Her shorts cling to her body like underwear, but a little longer. Her cami is hugging her body too. “Dex, what the hell are you doing here? Is everything alright?”

I pushed her into her apartment. Closing and locking the door behind me. “No, everything is not alright.”

She looks even more panicked. “Did something happen with Hugh? Where is he?”

She looks like she is going to rush the door. I put my hands on her shoulders. “Nothing is wrong with him. He’s fine.”

She blinks at me confused. I pull my arms around her. “What is the matter? Why are you acting so weird?”

“I can’t stand this. I can’t stand this gulf that is between us. I have been in love with you for the past nine years and it always seems like you are just out of reach.”

She pulls back. “Dex, you had me, remember? We wouldn’t have Hugh if I was always out of reach. I was right there and you ran off.”

Falling to my knees I wrap my arms around her middle. “I messed up so bad. I got scared that I was going to screw it all up. That Braden would hate me, that you would hate me. I ran because I know I was never good enough for you. I’m a damn cop, I’m not a millionaire. You deserve better than me. I knew that then and I know that now. I left because I love you so damn much that I wanted the best for you. I came back because I realized that I loved you too much to stay gone. I know it is selfish, but I can’t live without you, Mia.”

She’s holding my head to her belly and running her fingers through my hair. “That’s why you left.”

I look up at her. “Yes, baby. I’ll admit I was a coward and should have told you first. But I don’t want to keep living away from my family. I want you both back. Hell, I want to make another with you. I want to marry you and stay by your side for the rest of my life. If you will have me.”

She has a soft smile on her face. “I broke up with Nathon.”

Now I am the one that looks shocked. “Wait, what? What happened?”This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

“It’s a long story. The point is, I am ready to give this a shot too. I want to be a family with you too.”

Leaping to my feet I pull her into my arms and give her the kiss I have been holding back for days. The feel of her warm soft lips on mine is heaven. I have been craving her for so long that I can’t even think straight when I don’t see her. The way our lips and tongues mingle, I will never find a better experience in my life.

I pull her legs up around my body, only this makes her pull her lips from mine. “Dex, do you really mean it? I’m not going to find you gone. You want to stay here, with me. To love me and only have sex with me for the rest of your life. I know that is a big commitment.”

I chuckle a little. “Baby, I haven’t had sex since the last time I had sex with you. You are the only one that I want.”

She smiles. “Then take me to the bedroom.”

“I love you, baby.” I am not going to lose this again. I feel like I am on a zip line all the way to the bedroom. The adrenaline rush, the speed with which I am charging for that bed. I really do love Mia and I don’t want to be without her for another minute.
