Free Wanted by Kelly Elliott

other end of the sofa and rested my legs on his lap. Well, not really because he put a pillow in-between him and my legs. I must admit I felt a tinge of disappointment when I saw him do that. Ryan never would have sat on the sofa like this. He said he could not take touching me because it only made him want me more . Maybe he just didn’t want to touch me because I was never desirable for him. To be honest , I would have never have been ready to do anything with Ryan. We barley ever kissed and that was all. I guess he felt the same way. He never really wanted me.
    You will never be wanted by anyone…………
    “Hey, what are you frowning for over there? Do you want me to change the movie, cars not d oing it for you sweetheart?” Gunner asked as he started to str ok e my legs.
    OH. MY. GOD. He really needed to stop doing that. This boy must have magic in his finger tips….holy fuck! There goes that pressure in-between my legs again!
    “No, its fine I was just thinking about the whole thing with Ryan today. I’m sorry.” I said as I tried to relax while he was sending jolts of electricity up and down my legs. Gunner’s face immediately fell and he lo ok ed like he wanted to hurt someone. He stopped str ok ing my legs and pushed both his hands through his messy hair. I immediately missed his touch an d regretted bringing up Ryan. As I watched him run his hands through his hair I lick ed my lips. What I wouldn’t do to straddle him right now and run my fingers through that hair. I wonder if it was as soft as it lo ok ed .
    Oh holy shit! I needed to stop this! I tried to clear my head of my thoughts and lo ok ed back up at Gunner who was now lo ok ing at me. This was starting to get awkward the way we kept staring at each other.
    “Hey, um Gunner can I ask you something?” I said as I sat up a little to get a better lo ok at h im. My god he really was breath taking. He smiled at me.
    “Always….”
    Yep, I would never forget that smile for as long as I lived. The feelings it sent through my body were like nothing I had ever experienced.
    “Why do you ke ep calling me sweetheart?”
    SHIT! As soon as I asked him that his smile faded just a little bit.
    “I didn’t realize I was saying it a lot. I’m sorry. If you want me to stop or it bothers you, I’ ll try to be more aware of it.” Gunner said as he lo ok ed back at the TV.
    Oh no…. FUCK! I think I just hurt his feelings. FUCK! FUCK! FUCK A DUCK!
    “No no please don’t stop. I mean , I like it. I mean, um , well…” Good lord what was I trying to say here?
    “It’s just that you called me that the first time you touched me, I mean when you pulled me back away from Jefferson and Ryan. I guess I was just surprised to hear anyone other than Jefferson use an endearing name for me. That’s all.” I said as I laid back down on the pillow. Gesh now I felt like a complete bitch. Here this god of a guy was staying home tonight and waiting on me and I just insulted him. SHIT! I truly sucked at this stuff.
    “Ryan never called you sweetheart or anything?” Gunner asked his voice filled with surprise.
    “HA! No….about the only thing he ever called me was Ell or Ells. That should have been another sign.” I said the last senten ce practically under my breath.
    “Well I can tell you this Ellie , if you were my girlfriend I would let you know ev ery day how much you meant to me, t hrough words , and much more.” Gunner said in such a sexy ass voice .
    I wanted to say show me this much more and show me now please !
    Okay , that just w ok e up my whole body including my libido. WOW….no one has ever said anything like that to me before. Whoever snags this guy is going to be one hell of a lucky bitch.
    “That is the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me. Thank you Gunner, so much. I’m sure you are going to make some girl a very happy woman someday.” I said with as muc h of a smile as I could muster.
    The thought of another girl in his arms drove me
