“I don’t care. I changed my mind. I’ll buy this building. It’ll be a great investment. We’ll occupy one of the three-bedroom units. When Darren retires, I’ll still inherit everything. It’ll be fine.”

Abbey gasped, disentangled herself from Luke, and sat up. Nerves fluttered in her belly, and fear knotted inside her. What was he saying? He was quitting the Cobras? That couldn’t be right.

“Luke, you’ve got to go back tomorrow. You’ve worked so hard. There’s a good chance the team will make it to the playoffs and then the World Series—in a big part because ofyou. You can’t throw that all away because of me. I won’t let you.” Abbey hoped she could talk sense into him. Make him understand he needed to get back to the team.

They were counting on him. Earl Jepson would throw a fit. He’d been such an asshole to her over the last few weeks. She hadn’t said anything to Luke or Darren about it, but if Luke left the team because of her, Earl would blow a gasket.

A few more tears leaked out of his eyes, and he swiped them away. He sighed and nodded. “I know. I’m just… I can’t believe I’m leaving in the morning. It won’t be the same without out you, princess.”

He guided her back down next to him. She happily took her place beside him, comforted by his strength and warmth. “Give me a week to run through my classes once, and then I’ll meet up with you.” She hoped that would calm Luke down enough so he’d stop second-guessing their plans.

“Don’t do that. I don’t want you rushing around because of me. Take your time. Experience everything at your own pace. When you’re ready, then I’ll send for you. Just as long as you’re there for the World Series, if we make it.” Luke squeezed her tight, and she let out a sigh. Although she would have hurried to get back to Luke, she was relieved he didn’t want her to, knowing how important college was to her.

They both yawned, the stressful day taking its toll and coming to an end. Luke leaned over and dug round in her nightstand drawer and pulled out a condom. As tired as she was, she knew it would be a while before they would be together again. Her body warmed and tingled.

“I know we should get to sleep, but…” Luke said after he rolled the condom on and positioned himself on top of her. Luke’s finger traced the softness of her lower lip, and she trembled in his arms. “I need you once more before I leave in the morning,” he whispered.

He nuzzled her neck, and her nipples pebbled and her slit got slick. It was always like this with him. Before she knew it, his mouth was on hers, telling her without words how much he loved her. Luke’s mouth was tender, kissing away all her doubts and sadness. He kissed her again and again, each one sending sparks of electricity through her veins.

His lips worked hers, making her dizzy, and then he slid his cock inside her until he filled her completely. She held him tight as he slowly thrusted in and out of her, taking his time, trying to make their final night together last as long as it could.

They tenderly made love as they whispered words of love and made promises for the future they’d spend together. Side by side, forever. Abbey clung to Luke as she crashed over with him following soon after.

As their ragged breaths began returning to normal, she felt him softening inside her. She sighed as he pulled out of her, wishing they had more time, but feeling sleep was ready to claim her at any moment.

“I love you so much, Luke,” she whispered.

He smiled down at her and wiped a strand of sweat-dampened hair away from her forehead. “I love you, too, princess. We’re so lucky we have each other. Our life together is going to be amazing. I promise. You’ll see.”

After Luke ditched the condom and they settled down to get some much-needed sleep, she believed in her heart and soul he was right. She couldn’t wait for their future to begin.
