“You okay?” I whisper.
“So good,” she says with a satiated sigh.
I grin, pressing a kiss to the top of her head. “Are you ready for another adventure?” I ask, quirking an eyebrow at her.
She blushes, those green eyes lighting up with a fire that never fully went out. “Will it feel as good as what we just did?” she asks with a playful, sensual smirk on her lips.
“Baby,” I groan, dipping my head to nip at her earlobe and brushing my lips against the shell of her ear. “I’ll make you feel that good every fucking day of our lives,” I vow.

JORDAN
After drying off and getting mostly dressed, Huxley loads me into the truck, revs the engine, and continues up the mountain. My body buzzes with awareness, and I shudder out a moan when Huxley places his hand on my thigh.
“Doing okay, baby?” Huxley asks, his voice raspy as if he’s barely hanging on.
“Mm-hm,” I respond with a shaky breath.
I inhale sharply as Huxley slides his hand higher, higher, higher until his fingers brush against my aching core. I spread my legs further apart, giving him more access.
“Fuck,” he groans. “Why do I live so far away?”
I laugh, though it turns into a whimper as Huxley rubs my pussy, the fabric of my leggings and panties scraping against my already tender and swollen clit. I grind against his hand, not even caring how wanton it makes me.
Huxley withdraws his hand, and I tense, my body seeking release. I look at him with a pout, then realize he’s using both hands to crank the wheel and turn onto a dirt road winding up, up, up, and ending in a clearing.
It looks like a giant construction zone with part of the land torn up, part of it in the process of being flattened for new structures, and another section with the support beams and basic framework of buildings in progress.
“What is this place?” I ask, my eyes scanning every inch.
“A work in progress,” Huxley replies with a wry smile. “One of my Army Ranger buddies, Wilder, moved up here last year and bought this old, abandoned mining town. We thought he was crazy, but now Cassian and I have joined him, and we have one more friend coming soon.
“Is Cassian the bearded guy with a scowl who comes with you to the hardware store?”
Huxley lets out a chuckle. “Yeah, that’s him. The plan is to revive this place and make it our own little compound. One day, it might be a village or a little mountain town, but for now, we’re all looking for a place to heal.”
“It’s amazing that you guys are making something beautiful out of something overlooked and perceived as worthless.”
The truck comes to a stop in front of a small but well-built cabin. It looks cozy and sturdy, and I can’t help but picture a life up here in the mountains.
Huxley parks the truck and turns to look at me, his hand reaching out to brush a few strands of my hair behind my ear. He cups my chin, tilting my head up to meet his gaze. “I’m not sure if we’re talking about the land or you, but I need you to know you’re not worthless. You’re not overlooked. Not anymore. I see you, Jordan. I see how precious and priceless you are. Will you let me show you?”
Tears gather in my eyes, but I blink them away. This man is mending my fragile heart with every word he speaks. No one has ever been so kind or attentive to me, and I know at this moment, I’m ready to give him all of me. Everything.
“Show me,” I whisper.
Huxley gives me a brief kiss, then exits the truck as if it’s on fire. He’s by my side in the next second, making me smile at his eagerness. I get it. Me too.
He leads us up to his cabin, opening the door and ushering me inside. Once the door is closed, I suddenly feel awkward and unsure where to go from here.
“So, um, what now?” I ask stupidly.
Instead of answering me, Huxley leans down and nuzzles into the side of my neck, breathing me in. He lifts his head and kisses my cheek. I don’t know what comes over me, but a rush of emotion and adrenaline leaves me needing more. Needing everything this man has to offer.
I fist his hair and pull him down for a real kiss, fusing our lips while pressing my body even closer to his. I don’t want any distance between us. Even our clothes are too much separation. I need to feel his touch, his lips, his skin on my skin.
Huxley senses the shift inside me and glides his hands down my body, gripping my ass and rubbing me against him. I whimper into his mouth as he lifts me, wrapping my legs around his hips and clinging to him as he presses me against the wall.
