man’s existence, but damn that kiss
blew those core values out the window.
The feel of her lips were
like silk drenched in honey. And the taste of her could rival even
the most decadent of French pastries. Even as he thought of that
moment when he felt her warm breath mingle with his, Tyler’s cock
throbbed. What would it be like to have someone like her underneath
him? Moaning and writhing beneath and panting out his name in
ecstasy. He really needed to get her off of his mind before his
truck took a dive into a pasture just like hers did.
When he arrived back at
Jake and Emily’s, Tyler was in knots over the woman that shared a
steamy moment with him. He needed to clear his mind of her and
forget that as much as he didn’t want to be, he was attracted to
her.
He got out of his truck
and decided to sit for a while on the front porch, there was
nothing like fresh air to provide clarity to a confused
brain.
“Hey man, what are you
doing out here?” Jake asked.
“Just sitting, and
thinking.”
“I knew I smelled
something burning, I guess that was your wheels turning in that pea
brain of yours.” Jake teased.
“Not everyone can be a
smart successful lawyer like you brother.”
“Sure they can, just not
you. So what has you so tied up you need to brood by
yourself?”
“I’d rather not talk about
it.”
“Always the big tough
Marine aren’t you? Sometimes its best to get things off your chest
Tyler; you will explode if you hold everything in.”
“Dude, you sound like a
woman, marriage and fatherhood sure has changed you. I can remember
a day when you said you would never be tied down.”
“People change, some for
the better and some not so much. I was lucky that Emily and I
crossed paths again.”
“She’s really great Jake.”
Tyler complimented.
“I know she is. She has
changed my life, and that little girl in there has made things
amazing. I never thought I’d be used to waking up and seeing her
smiling face every day, but she brightens everything.”
“You’re such a fucking
sap.” Tyler laughed.
“Maybe so, but I have
everything I could ever want, so if that makes me a sap then it’s a
small price to pay my friend.”
“Thanks for the pep talk,
but I need to get some sleep, night man.”
“Goodnight Ty.”
Tyler headed to the room
he was residing in, and shut the door. He shucked off his clothes
and took out his wallet. It was probably bad luck to carry a
picture of your deceased ex-wife around with you, but Tyler had
trouble letting go of the past. It wasn’t like he could just
discard the things that changed his life; they were a permanent
part of him just like any physical scar.
He pulled out the
photograph and held it in his fingers. Every time he glanced at the
picture of her, he wondered what he could have done to make things
better. What would have made her want to stay and be faithful to
only him? And where would their lives be now? Beating himself up
over the past was just part of his daily routine, no need to change
that now.
Tyler tucked the photo
back in his wallet and settled into the bed for the night, when he
turned off the bedside lamp, he hoped that his mind would be clear
and he could get a good night’s rest. No such luck. All he could
manage to think about was Maggie, her and her slick city girl ways.
Damn he was majorly fucked.
Seven
I wanted to sit and cry,
maybe find a darkened room secluded away from everything and just
let go. This place was far more devastating than I could have ever
imagined. Every detail came back to haunt me like it was fresh and
new. I never expected my past to come back to torture me like this.
The years of therapy and trying to talk out the past with myself
didn’t seem to affect the current state I found myself in. I was
yet again the helpless little girl, lost with no savior in a cruel
and traitorous existence.
Crashing around me was my
life, the one I thought I had in order but was terribly mistaken.
Feeling like I
