Hurt Me by Glenna Marie

forced myself to follow her voice into the dining room. I watched her from the doorway in the kitchen while she picked up our mess from dairy queen. She finally turned and looked at me. She jumped a little and her breath caught.
    “You have a beautiful voice, you know that?” I told her. I wanted to show her I wasn’t mad.
    “O-oh. Thank you.”  She stammered.
    She put her head down trying not to look at me. She actually seemed quite shook up. All of a sudden I felt just horrible. I knew what she went through at home and there is no telling what my little tantrum made her think. Next thing I know I started walking towards her. I put my hand on her cheek and my other in her hair.
    “You know I’m not mad at you right?” I asked her. I was hoping she could see the truth in my eyes and hear it in my voice. I wanted her know nothing but love from me. Whoa wait did I just say love? Wow, I need to relax. I like her… a lot but love is too much especially this soon. After Evangeline didn’t answer my question I kissed her again. I took in her tangy sweetness and devoured her mouth. I wanted to kiss her like she has never been kissed before. Her body molded into mine like they were made to fit perfectly together. I worked my mouth over hers taking in her soft supple lips and velvety tongue. Her mouth moved against mine in perfect sync. I felt her arms wrap around my back and I pulled her in tighter. I pulled in her bottom lip and bit it playfully. I pulled back and looked into her violet eyes. I wanted to see that she felt the same way for me as I did for her. I saw love and as quick as it was there it was gone and then there was guilt written all over her face.
    “Where do you want to sleep tonight?” I asked her trying to keep things moving. She put on this cute face like she was thinking very hard about this. “We can sleep here or we can go back to my apartment. But to warn you we have no beds here and I have one blanket that’s in the truck.”
    “We can sleep here?” she asked ignoring the stipulations that went with it. My heart started pounding at the thought of sleeping with her in my arms.
    “Uh yeah , we can if you want.” I gave a big smile. “I’ll go get the blanket and our bags. Pick a room and I’ll be right back. We have to get up early don’t forget.” She shook her head yes as I let her go. I went outside while she went to find the room she wanted.
    I came back inside and didn’t see Evangeline anywhere. I could hear her in the master bedroom and couldn’t help but smile to myself. I walked into the bedroom and saw her staring out the window. The closet and the bathroom doors were open.
    “Your home is really beautiful” she said. She turned and smiled at me.
    “Is this the room you want to sleep in?” She nodded walked up to me and grabbed the blanket. .”
    She took her bag into the bathroom and I took my shirt off and put on some jersey shorts. She came out in some shorts and a t-shirt. I have never seen a woman look so sexy and it was hard to hold myself back. I spread the blanket down on the floor and laid on it.
    “You’re sleeping in here , with me?” she asked sounding a little nervous.
    “Well yeah. I only have one blanket.” I patted the floor beside me telling her to come over and lay down. And she did. I let her rest on my arm and she curled into my body. I wrapped the blanket around us and put my other arm around her. She was tracing the trail of tattoos I had on my chest when she started to yawn. She smelt so amazing, like the beach mixed with coconut and mango. I could get lost in her sent. “I like these .” she said still tracing my tattoos.
    “Do you now?” I asked her feeling myself smil ing with pride. My chest had two swallows on top of each peck facing each other. And the other was a tribal that went from the top of my shoulder, on to my back, then to my side, and on my stomach. Feeling her run her hands across my back and shoulders made me shiver.
    “Did
