At the end of the period, Adam stormed from the room to get outside and use his phone. This was ridiculous. He had to find out if she was okay. Thinking back, he should have stayed with her to face whatever was going on with her mother. He could not think straight after she referred to him as her friend; it almost crushed him to think she did not see him as more. Out of respect for her and her mother, he had backed down. He now understood before she could ever accept him as her man, he would first have to act like one, starting with making sure if she needed him, he would be there.
He reached the park benches on the outside of the cafeteria building and sat his books down on a table. Reaching into his pocket, he pulled out his phone and started to push the button to speed dial her number.
“Trying to reach someone?” the silky voice teased.
A smile donned his lips as he lifted his head and was captivated by how the bright sunshine reflected off her eyes making them appear golden. The light also warmed the color of her skin to perfection.
“Sure was. I was trying to check on the love of my life. I haven’t heard from her lately.”
“Well, what kind of woman leaves a handsome man like you waiting around?”
Adam dropped his gaze.
“I guess one who can do better with another tall, handsome fellow – with some nice wheels and a big house to match.”
His earlier oath to himself revisited his mind and his will strengthened. He gathered her feminine hands in his masculine ones and looked up into her fiery gaze and matched it with his adoring one.
“Denise, you know I don’t have much money. In fact, I don’t even have a bank account yet. However, I do care for you with all of my heart, and will do anything necessary to prove my love and dedication to you and giving you a wonderful life. If you will have me, I promise to make every dream you ever had come true.”
Without hesitation, Denise dropped into his lap and kissed him hard. When they finally parted, both were breathlessly panting and wanting more.
“Mr. Aggeliki, I never have and never will care about money or frivolous things. I don’t want some guy who can give me material wealth; I want you because I know you will give me the love I have always hoped for.”
Adam’s tanned skin glowed in the sunlight as his face lit up and his dimples appeared. Denise kissed each one in turn. He thanked her with a squeeze on her bottom.
“Adam, one thing I do want from you.”
“Anything.”
“Never leave me again. I don’t think I can take another man walking out of my life so suddenly.”
“Never again. I promise.” He crossed his heart and leaned forward and the kissed the tip of her nose. She ran her caramel fingers through his spiky jet black hair and sighed with contentment.
“Good. By the way,” she looked at him quizzically as her big brown eyes gazed into his green ones, “Aggeliki – what does that mean anyway? You said it’s Greek, right?”
“Yes. Mainly, it means ‘angel’.”
Epilogue
Denise surveyed her surrounding before plopping down on the hard king sized mattress splayed in the middle of the floor. Adam seated himself on the corner edge next to her.
“How is your mom holding up? I have heard divorces can get really bitter and ugly.”
Denise rolled over on her side to face him.
“Actually, she is handling this turn of events much better than I had expected. I really don’t think my father has the option of giving her a hard time. Mom never signed any kind of pre-nuptial agreement and dad has been having an affair – a well documented affair – for the entire course of their marriage. With all those facts in mind, I think she will be able to keep whatever she wants from the finances or request whatever alimony she thinks would be fitting.”
She crinkled her brows in thought.
“Really, I think she only wants some peace of mind. She mentioned possibly going on an extended cruise to Europe once this is over.”
Adam rubbed away the worry lines from his love’s forehead.
“You still have not heard anything from your father?”
“No,” she closed her eyes and reveled in his touch on her skin, “it’s probably for the best. If I was only part of an elaborate scheme to achieve success, we have nothing to say to one another for the time being. I think he loved us once but allowed his own needs and ambitions to dominate his life and ours. Maybe in the future we can all make amends. For now, so long as I have you, I am wonderfully happy and I have everything I need.”
Denise patted the spot on the mattress next to her and Adam gladly lay down, eagerly helping her position her body in a sitting position atop his own.
“I cannot believe we found this apartment so close to campus for only half of what we paid for housing on campus,” she smiled down at him.
“I know. Lucky, I guess,” Adam said as he looked around the room, “even if the only furniture we have is this lumpy mattress.”
The pair laughed at the observation.
“Well, let me be the first to suggest that we attempt to flatten out every lump as soon as possible.”
Denise leaned down and captured his strong lips.
“I concur,” Adam breathed against her mouth.
He slid the yellow spaghetti strap tank top over her head to reveal a blue lace sheer bra.
“For me?”
“Uh-huh, wait until you get to the bottoms,” she purred as she placed wet kisses down the side of his neck.
“Why wait?”
With a stealthy movement, Adam rolled Denise over so their positions were reversed. He removed the jean shorts she wore and his eyes almost crossed when he saw the matching lace bikini style panties waiting beneath.
“I am going to enjoy this.”
After a deep kiss where their tongues played happily together, he moved down to her chin and then used both of his wet lips to claim hold on a tender area of skin on her neck. Denise gasped in air as the pleasure overtook her.
Her hands dug deep into his back and then followed a line of firm muscle down to his bottom and pulled him between her legs as she wrapped them around the wide girth of his waist. The heavy hardness she felt rubbing vigorously against her sensitive nub drove her even further with lust.
Adam reached the soft mounds of her breasts and positioned his mouth over the lace and onto her erect nipple and bit gently. Denise arched her back in response.
“I can’t wait,” he groaned and she used her legs and feet to help him shimmy out of his khaki shorts and boxers.
Retrieving a small foil package, he slid the condom down his extended length and readied himself at slick her entrance.
“Now, Adam. Please.”
With one thrust, he slid inside her and almost lost his mind. Adam focused on pulling down the straps of the bra and releasing her brown flesh accentuated by blackberry colored nipples. Once he had one securely in his mouth he allowed his right hand to gently massage the other nipple. With his free hand he stroked her hair spread across the top of the bed. All the while he continued with slow thrusts that turned faster the moment he heard his name escape her lips.
“Adam. More,” she moaned heavily from the back of her throat.
She moved her hips forward to meet his and gather more of him into herself. Overcome by waves of ecstasy she hit her peak and released a scream true to the complete release she allowed to ripple throughout her body. He followed only a few seconds later. One final push, all the way to her core sent him over the edge and he yanked her hair as he growled out her name.
“Denise!”
After their heart rates settled back to normal, still lying on top of her, he looked down and smiled and her heart melted at the sight of those perfect dimples.
“I could stay like this forever,” he whispered to her.
“So could I,” she said as she trailed her hand along the side of his face.
“I love you, Denise.”
“I love you more, Adam, my personal angel.�
