“If I stay here for another two weeks and help you get packed and ready to move, will you come home with me then?” I ask, but I think I already know the answer.
“I can’t give you an answer on that right now, Liam. I need to make sure that Dawn is safe. I need to make sure she’s okay before I just leave.”
“Did you call your mom?”
“Yeah,” she says with a heavy sigh.
“And how did that go?”
“Not great. She’s coming down at the end of the week to be with Dawn for her meeting with the detectives. She refuses to talk to me about you calling.”
“We can’t change the past, Ellie,” I warn her.
“I know. I just hate that they lied to me, Liam.”
“It’s more like they just kept secrets and hid things from you.”
“Semantics and you know it. Not telling me something is just as bad as lying when it affects your life, Liam. Dawn and my mother did it knowing it would.”
“I don’t want to leave Arizona without you, Ellie,” I tell her and I don’t bother keeping the pain out of my voice.
“It’s not a permanent separation, Liam. I’ll come back to Tennessee, I will. It just may take me a bit.”
“You don’t come home soon, Ellie, and I swear to you, I’ll come back and drag your ass back home.”
“Liam,” she says with a smile, leaning up to kiss me. “I promise I will come home to you. I have to. I love you.”
“Promise me, Ellie.”
“I promise, Liam,” she says solemnly. I hate like hell that this is where we’re at. I don’t want to leave her side for a minute.
“How long?”
“What?” she says surprised.
“How long do you need, and if you say a year, so help me God, Ellie, I will wear that ass of yours out.”
“Are you asking me to give you a timeline of when I’ll be back to Tennessee?”
“Is that a problem?”
“Well, kind of. How am I supposed to know how long it will take to get my sister settled and everything done so I can move?”
“Two weeks. You can get all that done in two weeks and give your notice to Harvey,” I tell her, wondering how in the fuck I’m supposed to survive two weeks without her.
“Liam, I don’t want to be away from you, but I need longer than two weeks.”
“So give me a time,” I tell her, trying not to panic at being without her even longer.
“Two months?” she says, tentatively.
“Fuck, no. There’s no way, Ice. I’m not living without you for two fucking months.”
I watch as her eyes dilate and she swallows nervously.
“Okay, one month.”
“That’s a long time,” I mutter.
“It’s thirty days. That’s not that long, Liam. We’ve been apart almost two years. Thirty days should be a walk in the park.”
“If the park is in hell, maybe,” I grumble, making her laugh.
“I’ll call you every night and we can Facetime. It will go quickly, Liam. You’ll see.”
“Will you facetime, naked?”
“Uh…”
“You want to stay away from me for a whole month, Ellie. You better fucking give me this at least.”
“You have to be alone in your bedroom if I do,” she demands.
“Fuck woman, it’s not like I’m going to let anyone see you naked but me.”
“Fine, then I’ll Facetime you naked.”
“The month starts tomorrow. If I have to leave, then the countdown starts tomorrow, too.”
“Do you have any more demands, Liam?” she jokes.
“Fuck yes, I do.”
“You do?”
“Damn straight. You’re going to keep your body away from me for a whole damn month, woman. You better get on your knees and worship your man’s cock.”
“You’re so romantic, Liam,” she giggles, moving over top of me, her blonde hair falling down around her face and against my chest. Our gazes lock, and I see the heat slowly building in her.
“You want romance, Ice?” I ask her, my voice suddenly going hoarse as I look into her beautiful eyes.
God I love this woman.
“Yes, but where you’re concerned, Liam, I want it all,” she murmurs against my skin as she starts kissing down my chest and sliding between my legs.
“If you want romance, Ellie, I’ll give it to you.”
“You will?” she asks, her voice teasing as her hand wraps around my cock and she strokes me, my head rubbing against her stomach.
I watch as she moves further down, holding my cock now, while she leans in to lick the head, running her tongue and gathering the pre-cum that’s glossed over the head.
“I definitely will, Ellie,” I tell her, my eyes closing as she sucks the head into her mouth.
“What kind of romance?” she asks, her tongue licking up the underside of my shaft.
“I’ll wipe your mouth after you swallow down my cum,” I tell her, but that last part might come out as a muffled cry, because she’s taking my cock into her mouth and it feels like fucking heaven.
