Existence 03 - Ceaseless

too. He knew you weren’t yourself and he took advantage of it.”
“Leif?”
Dank’s eyes widened in surprise. “Yeah, Leif , but Pagan… you aren’t supposed to be able to remember him. He doesn’t have a soul.”
    Because he was a Voodoo spirit. “I know that , but I remember him.”
    Dank brushed the hair back from my face and smiled. “You never did fit the mold. This shouldn’t surprise me. I’ve missed you so much.”
    The relief and love in his eyes made me tear up. I’d treated him so badly. “I’m so sorry. I love you, Dank. I love you so much. I don’t know what happened. I can’t believe I forgot you.”
    Dank lowered his mouth and pressed a kiss to my forehead, “Don’t apologize. It’s okay. You had nothing to do with this. It is the Deity that did this. They took your memories.”
    Why? What had I done wrong?
    “Did I make them mad?”
    Dank shook his head and tightened his hold on me. I realized my hands were still fisting handfuls of his shirt and I released them and smoothed his shirt out.
    “When a soul is created , so is its mate. Jay is your soul’s mate. You weren’t created to be my mate. You have to reconnect with Jay and let your soul decide if you can live without him. They took your memories to make the choice fair. I don’t know how you remembered without their help. But we can’t let them know. You will have to continue the way we were. They want you to choose and now the choice is no longer fair. I don’t want them to take your memories again.”
    They could take them again? No. No. I didn’t want that. “So I do what? Date Jay? I don’t want to date Jay.”
    Dank flashed a small smile then lowered his mouth to mine, “I don’t want that either but I can’t lose you again. I need you to remember me.”
    His mouth covered mine and I decided right now that wasn’t the most important thing. This was. I slipped my hands into his hair and pulled him closer. The first taste of his tongue was heavenly. I rolled onto my back and tugged at his hair pulling him on top of me. I wanted to be covered with him. I needed him close. I’d kept him at a distance because my stupid mind had betrayed me. Dank shifted and moved his body until it fit perfectly over mine. His arms rested on each side of my head as he held some of his weight off me. I didn’t want that. I wanted all of him. Opening my legs caused his hips to fall against me.
    He stopped himself from fully pressing into me. I pulled back from the kiss, “Please, Dank. Don’t hold yourself off me.”
    He swallowed hard then slowly lowered his hips until his arousal pressed firmly against me. Whimpering a little from the new sensation I rocked against him. His lips were on mine again instantly and his tongue was stroking the inside of my mouth with a frenzied need. I rocked again and let out a small cry of pleasure as the tingling between my legs shot sparks throughout my body.
    Dank let out a groan as our tongues tangled with each other and this time it was his hips that rocked against mine . The pressure was more intense. I threw back my head and let out a sound I’d never made befor e. Dank’s lips began trailing kisses down my exposed neck and stopped at my collar bone . Then the rough skin from his fingertips touched the sensitive skin just under the bottom of my shirt. I began panting , hoping he didn’t stop. His hand crept up further until he found the snap between my breasts and undid my bra easily. He pu shed the unwanted barrier away before running his fingers over each nipple.
    “Do you want me to stop?” He asked in a raspy whisper.
    I shook my head.
    “I want your shirt off,” he said watching me for a reaction.
    “Okay,” I replied leaning up to take it off.
    “No, I want to take it off,” he said stopping me .
    I nodded and he lifted the shirt up and over my head. His hands pushed the straps of my bra back until I had nothing covering me.
    “You’re beautiful,” he whispered.
    His praise made my heart soar .
    “ I think I remember telling you I’d like to see you with your shirt off,” I reminded him.
    A smirk appeared on his full sexy lips and he reached for the hem of his shirt and pulled it over his head.
    Oh my.
    I reached out and ran my fingers over each defined ab muscle. Now, that was beautiful. “Come here,” I said lying back against the pillow again.
    Dank’s eyelids were lowered and he gazed hungrily down at me. I wanted his bare chest pressed against mine.
