am. If I could take it all back, wish it all away, I would. For you. But then, if I wasn't who I was we wouldn't be here, Summer. We would have never met. The world would have never known about our affair and we wouldn't be standing here in this alley arguing about a fucking story." Her mouth felt dry and raw despite the rain drops that moistened her lips. What could she say? "Let them print what they want. Let them make up lies and post their pictures. All that matters is our story, Summer, the one written just for you and I.” He pulled her to him again. She didn't fight him as she fell into his arms and let him offer his strength. He brushed a kiss across her forehead. His lips pressed softly against her wet skin. “You wanted a story, Summer, this is it." Summer tipped her chin up to meet his gaze and found herself swimming in his eyes. Dare she dream for even one moment that she could find happiness here? She drew out a long breath laced with a heavy sigh. “I meant it,” she said at last. “Every last word I wrote." "I know.” He pressed his lips to hers. Her lips parted in invitation. Her tongue tangled with his as he drew his arms about her. His hands roamed her back, trailed over her wet clothes while the rains pattered softly on them. Summer pulled back slowly. A smile curved sinfully on her lips. “Do you always get what you want?" Anthony laughed at that. “Always." "Where's the fun in that?” She nipped at his lower lip. "Right here.” His words hummed softly against her wet skin as he nuzzled her neck. Her breasts were pressed against his warm chest as she rested her cheek against his shoulder. He pressed her back against the rain-splattered brick wall. His hands slipped down her thigh as he gathered her floral skirt between his fingers. He eased it up, exposing a pale length of leg. "Someone will see us,” she murmured as she pressed her lips against coarse hairs of his jaw. "Let ‘em watch.” He unzipped his jeans. He gathered her into his arms and lifted her. His cock nudged past her wet thighs and slipped eagerly inside her. Summer's mind darkened. Her only thought was of him as he pieced her body and enfolded her. She pressed her hungry mouth to his as he lifted her with each thrust. “I love you." "I love you,” he murmured as his tortured kisses fanned down the length of her neck. Beneath the patter of the rain Summer felt his heart pound in rhythm with her own as they fused together as one. [Back to Table of Contents]
