“Nothing.”

He walked toward her. “It’s your parents, isn’t it?”

She shrugged, glad that he’d guessed wrong. “They are who they are.”

“What went wrong between them?”

Sabrina smiled softly. “You mean what went right between them? Not a lot. I guess they had different ideas of what kind of life they wanted to lead. Mom always wanted to keep up with the Joneses. And Dad couldn’t care less as long as he could hang out with his buddies on Friday night and watch football the entire weekend. Mom wanted more. She used to be a very affectionate woman when I was little. But Dad wasn’t. He just wasn’t the cuddly type. I think Mom craved physical closeness. And he couldn’t give it to her. He wasn’t very demonstrative with his feelings. Don’t get me wrong; they must have had sex. After all, they had me.”

Daniel brushed his knuckles over her cheek. “It’s sad to see how things can go wrong between two people who once loved each other. They did love each other once, didn’t they?”

“I would hope so, but I don’t remember ever seeing or feeling it. All I remember from my childhood were their fights, their sniping, my mother’s tears, and my father’s silence. Maybe they loved each other at the very beginning, before they had me. But I guess it wasn’t enough. They just weren’t meant for each other.”

“Not like we are.” Daniel pressed a tender kiss on her lips.

She reached for his hand, intertwining her fingers with his. “Yes, not like you and I. Still, I’m worried sometimes. My parents must have thought too that they were meant for each other when they got married. When they were in love.”

“You shouldn’t worry. You and I, we have a special connection.” He took her hand and pressed it against the spot where his heart beat against his ribcage. “I can feel it. Without you, I don’t feel complete. I’d always thought I didn’t need anybody. But I do. I need you. And the last few days have shown me that when somebody hurts you, it hurts me just the same. I feel it physically.”

Sabrina slid her hand that lay on his heart farther up until it reached his nape. She pulled him closer. “I’ve never felt as loved as I feel now.”

“That must be because I love you more than anybody else ever could. You’re everything I ever dreamed of, Sabrina.” He sighed. “And if I didn’t have to go to this darn bachelor party, I’d show you.”

She smiled, brushing her lips against his. “Nobody will mind if you’re a few minutes late.” She kissed him softly, but before he could respond to her and deepen the kiss, she pulled back.

A disappointed groan came over his lips, and his hands reached for her, trying to drag her back. But Sabrina had other ideas.

She dropped to her knees and tore on the towel around Daniel’s hips, jerking it off him and tossing it to the ground.

“Oh God! Baby!” he let out on a ragged breath when he seemed to realize what she was planning.

She stroked over his cock and felt it jerk. She noticed that with every second that passed, it grew bigger. More blood coursed into it.

Sabrina placed her hands on his thighs and pressed him against the wall behind him. Daniel groaned, and Sabrina couldn’t help but smile. She loved it when he lost control. And Daniel was about to lose control.

Her hand wrapped around his now fully erect shaft, and she brought her mouth to it. Her tongue snaked out and licked over the mushroomed head as if she were licking an ice cream cone, though no ice cream flavor could be as delicious as the taste of Daniel’s freshly showered body.

Feeling the hard flesh as she slowly descended on it and took him into her mouth, was a sensation she loved. It made her feel strong and powerful to bring a man like Daniel to his knees. She shivered when his hands touched her bare shoulders and brushed the spaghetti straps of her top off her shoulders, making it slide down to her waist. Cool air wafted against her naked breasts, adding to the erotic sensations that coursed through her body as she sucked Daniel’s shaft longingly.

His hips rocked against her, gently at first, but with every thrust his movements became more pronounced. She took him deeper, while licking her tongue along the underside of his aroused flesh.

“Fuck, baby!” he ground out, his voice nearly unrecognizable.

Sabrina slipped one hand to his balls, cupping them. His hips jerked at the touch, and a ragged breath tore from his mouth, echoing against the tiled walls of the bathroom. She gently played with the precious stones and felt the sac contract under her touch, pulling up toward his impossibly hard shaft, which she gripped at the base to add more pressure to her sucking motions.
