Aspen's P.O.V.

I groaned waking up as I felt a slight tickle against my back, gently taking Nyzie's hand away I snuggled into the bed more, she chuckled? Why did she sound like a man? Deciding to ignore the sound I try to go back to sleep again but the tickling sensation continued. Turning around I face the person groggily I open eyes coming face to face with...Talon. 

"Good Morning," He whispered to me, 

Smiling at him I say, "Good Morning," back moving closer to him I lay my head on his chest, "I am so sore."

Talon chuckled rubbing my bareback, "I mean...we did go for three or four rounds." 

"I think I have bruises on my waist, you could have been gentle,"

"Excuse me?" He said looking down at me, "Take a look at my back." Pushing me away gently He turned around. I had marked up his back pretty bad.

Kissing the nail marks I say, "Sorry,"

Talon turned around, "Don't be, I found it hot. Kinda like you were marking your territory."

Scrunching up my nose I shook my head, "Shut up," I look around the room, it didn't look like any of our suites, "Where are we?"

"At the club," He admitted getting out of bed he was stark naked, quickly covering my eyes I said his name.  "What?" Talon chuckled, "You didn't mind me being naked last night."

"Last night was different! Get dressed." I said embarrassed, I heard him move around the room, "What do you mean we are still at the club?"

"We are above the club," Talon took my hand away from my eyes pecking my lips, "This is my penthouse."

Getting up off of the bed I take the sheets with me covering my body, "Where is everyone else?"

"Back at the hotel I guess, we should get going too."

"Wait," I said grabbing his hand, "Are we not going to talk about what happened last night?"

Talon looked at m sighing, "We had fun."

"Excuse me?" I said 

He smirked shaking my grip off, "Did you really think I wouldn't get revenge?"

My heart skipped a beat, "What?"

"You slapped me, not once, not twice...four fucking times Aspen." He's not calling me Navy why isn't he calling me Navy? "Did you really think that I was going to sit quietly and let you get away with disrespecting me? I mean how naive can you be? And I had to put up with your daughter."

Not Nyzie... I looked at him with tears in my eyes, "Stop playing around Talon."

"I'm not." He smirked evilly, "It's been ten years Aspen, did you really think that I would come back for you? I have a life, Aspen, I don't waste it on one person. I don't wast ten years hung up on one person."

I didn't want to believe what I was hearing, I didn't want to believe that he had...he had broken my trust again. 

"It's nice to know that I can still make you moan like that though...make you feel like that...make you beg for me." 

Taking a step back hurt I look away from him having nothing to say to him, I didn't know what I was feeling, I didn't know how to face myself after I gave myself to him...and he broke my trust again. Feeling dizzy I almost fall over he reaches over to grab me but I take a step back. "Don't touch me." I snapped at him. 

He began laughing in my face I covered my ears... "Stop!"

"Talon!" I yelled shooting up in bed covered in sweat, I look beside me to see Talon sleeping peacefully beside me, the covers pushed downed to his waist as he laid shirtless.

It was a dream, it was just a dream, Talon is still here, he didn't leave me. Laying down I try to calm my heart rate down I stare up at the ceiling. What was that dream? I guess the fear of him leaving me was still fresh in my mind... "What are you thinking about?" He asked me making me jump slightly, turning towards him I smile gently at him. 

"Nothing..." I whisper, "You finally up."

Talon stretched out his body wincing slightly, "Fuck, you killed my back last night." 

Blushing I move closer to him resting my head on his chest, "Sorry...but in my defense, you hurt my hips a lot. I think you left bruises."

He suddenly flipped us over so he was on top of me, his thing was pushing up against my waist, "Mhm, but we did go at it for a long time, up for another round."

I shook my head biting my lip, "I can't...I'm really sore."

Talon leaned down kissing my lips gently, "Let's get dressed, we are still at the club."

This was going a lot like my dream,  panic flooded my body I grabbed onto him, "Not until we talk about what happened last night."

He looked down at me confused, "We had sex?"

"That's it?"

"I-I don't know what you want me to say..."

I gave him a disappointed look before starting to push him away but he pinned me down on the bed putting some of his weight on top of me. "We made love last night. It was a release of tension that was built up in the past ten years...it was us finally giving in to our urges. It was us finally letting each other in. It was my way of telling you Aspen Navy Flynn that I love you."

My breath hitched, "I-'m not good with words...I've never been good at expressing myself so the only way I thought of to express my love was through my actions. I love you Navy...and I'm sorry I didn't realize it earlier, I'm sorry it took me so long to realize that what I was missing from my dream lifestyle was you."

I stared up at him in shock, "Say something Navy."

Pulling his head down I kiss him trying to put all my emotions in it pulling away I say, "I love you too,"

Kissing me playfully he flipped us over so that I was on top, "How sore are we talking about?"

Shaking my head I kiss his cheek, "Not that sore,"

"Good," He said smirking evilly before pinning me to the bed quickly, "I'll carry you to our car after this."

We got lost in each other's arms again...and he definitely kept his promise.
