“You know, sometimes I wonder if you can be this perfect, and then you do something like this.” The smile lights up her face and the traces of sadness I saw earlier are fading just like I hoped.
“Well, you haven’t seen anything yet. Look inside the bag.”
Her head dips and her hand disappears and pulls out two containers.
“Oh my god! Fries and onion rings!” The sarcasm washes off her in waves as I sit back and watch her stuff her face with a handful of fries.
“You know, you’re so beautiful right now…” I tease as she grants me the biggest smile full of fries and I swear the tightness in my chest stops me in my tracks. I’m falling in love with her. Right here in this moment, this girl is everything to me and I would give up everything and anything to make sure her life is as it’s supposed to be.
Once all the food is eaten and we’re sitting in the truck listening to music, I open my door and head around the front of the truck and open the passenger side, holding out my hand.
“What are you doing?” Harper asks, looking around like I’ve lost my mind.
Maybe I have, but sitting in the truck, feeling her next to me but unable to hold her the way I want isn’t how I wanted to end the night.
“Well since I couldn’t take you dancing, I thought I could bring dancing to you.” When she puts her hand in mine, everything slows down and I pull her to my chest and start to sway.
“You are incredible,” she murmurs against my chest. “This is perfect, you’re perfect.” I shake my head, pulling her even closer. When my lips touch the top of her head, she sighs, wrapping her arms around my waist.
“I’m sorry for earlier,” I repeat, probably for the thousandth time since we left the side of the road. “I should have realized what that place would mean for you…” She pulls away from my chest and places her fingers on my lips.
“Stop. Josh, being with you will always be a constant reminder for me of what I lost.”
I narrow my eyes, feeling a sinking pit start to grow in my stomach. “But, being with you also allows me to heal that part of me. Being with you has taught me that what happened to me, what happened to my family, isn’t the end of something but the building block to something so much better.”
I can’t take it anymore and I press my lips to hers because not touching her isn’t an option.

Harper
The second his lips touch mine, the air around us changes. That warm feeling that washed over me when I realized why he was leading me out of the truck, the utter bliss I felt when he pulled me closed and started to sway turned carnal the second we connected. Josh wastes no time, spinning me around and pinning me to the passenger side door. His lips take mine in a fervent kiss that takes my breath away. The feel of his lips on mine is incredible and when his tongue demands entrance, I concede, loving the growl that rumbles in his chest.
“Sunshine…” he mumbles as he kisses down the column of my neck, biting my earlobe before gently sucking it until my knees weaken. “I need to get you home before I go insane.”
I slide my fingers into his hair, gripping harder as the night fades away. The panic attack, the embarrassment and the shame all disappear with every pass of his lips and all I want is him closer, his lips taking mine harder and the feel of him against me.
I kiss him with everything I have and am rewarded with his hands traveling into my hair, pulling me flush against his chest. This feels fucking amazing.
“Seriously, Harper, if we don’t leave now, we’ll be arrested for indecent exposure.”
I grin wickedly, letting my hand travel down his stomach and finally resting on the bulge in his pants. The moment my small hand cups his hardness, he lowers his head to my shoulder and moans against my neck.
“Let’s go then,” I whisper into his ear. “Because I’m two seconds away from taking you in my mouth right here.”
He stiffens, my fingers squeezing ever so lightly. I have never been once to initiate public indecency but with Josh, it’s coming very naturally, something that is very new to me.
“Jesus, woman,” he moans, taking my hand away from his cock and pressing his lips to my palm. I shiver as the smile grows on his face.
“Let’s go,” I repeat, turning around and opening the door, making sure to rub my ass against his arousal.
When he growls one more time, I climb into the truck as he adjusts himself and shuts my door. As Josh gets into the truck, I get a wild idea, one I’ve never had the desire to do before.
The second he starts the truck, turning on the heat, I lift my shirt, exposing my stomach more and more with each passing second. His labored breathing lets me know just how much he’s paying attention and when my thumb hooks into the waistband of my pants and I start to pull, Josh mutters a curse.
“Harper…” he warns as I look over and see the desire in his gaze.
“What?” I ask innocently, my hands roaming my stomach as my thumb continues to expose more and more of me.
