True Love Waits

After kissing her on the cheek and heaving a sigh, Sheffield pretended to be sad. "Evelyn, I waited a long time, but you never came over. So I came to your bedroom instead."

"I'm warning you: touch me again and regret it!" All of a sudden, Evelyn was scared. Sheffield wasn't cowed by her bravado. He wore that annoying smile that he always did, and his confidence was high. "Actually, that sounds like fun! Will I regret this?" Without giving her another chance to speak, he lowered his head and kissed her red lips.

"Shef... field...hmm."

"Sheffield? I prefer to be called 'husband, ' baby! Or maybe darling!" He started running his hands over her, neck, shoulders, cheek.

Evelyn was pissed off. "Would you like Tayson to break us up?" she threatened.

"No, thanks. Three's a crowd!" He lifted her up and walked towards her bedroom.

She had a luxurious bedroom, with a good amount of square footage. A large bed with grey and white bedding was near the balcony. However, Sheffield was not in the mood to appreciate the scenery. He placed her lightly on the bed, and then lay heavily atop her.

In the dim light, he pinned her hands to the bed and whispered in her ear, "Evelyn, I've missed you so much. Please don't push me away. I'm heartbroken."

"No way... Ugh..." She struggled against him, but gravity was on his side.

"Eve, do you care about me?" he asked the woman under him. He sounded like he was mocking her.

Turned on, Evelyn's mind was a mess. Upon hearing his question, she simply answered, "Mmm."

"Don't say you don't care about me anymore, okay? I'll be sad!"

"Okay..."

"Good girl."
