Iknew it. I just knew everything he said and did was too good to be true and still I allowed my foolish heart to engage with him. I wanted so badly for Colter to love me as much as I’ve loved him for so long.
“You’re going to get it anyways.” His voice is rough, almost angry and I can’t seem to break the hold he has on my eyes. “From the minute you turned seventeen you’ve been mine. Your parents knew it. Every boy who every tried to ask you out knew it too. I knew it. The only one who didn’t know, was you.”
“I don’t understand.” My heart is thundering in my ears as my brain processes his words.
“I waited for you for as long as I could Oaklynn, this, today, was the answer to every damn prayer I’ve been throwing at the universe since the day you turned eighteen. The only question left unanswered now is whether you can be happy in a small town with the Sheriff who has no plans of leaving.” His head tilts to the side to watch me as Marble flops onto the floor and crawls into my lap, watching me, as if she understands what we’re saying.
Slightly speechless, I brush my fingers through Marbles fur and swallow the lump forming in my throat.
“I’ve only ever wanted one thing in my life, Colter.”
“What’s that?”
“You.”
“Woof!” Marble jumps into our lap, making sure her presence hasn’t been forgotten.
Scratching her ears, I lean forward, and she kisses my face. “And Marble, can’t forget her.” A flutter blossoms in my chest as she closes her eyes and leans into my touch, like she knew what I was saying.
Colter’s silence is unnerving, so I continue petting the puppy until his hand grasps my chin and lifts my face to meet his stare.
“I’ve searched almost my entire life for a woman like you Oaklynn.” His voice is husky.
“A woman like me?” Swallowing around the lump in my throat isn’t easy.
“Smart, funny, kind, genuine. Not many women would rescue a puppy in this weather and then shield it from the elements while trying to find shelter.”
“I did have ulterior motives.” A shy smile spreads across my lips.
“They also wouldn’t have made sure an old woman was taken care of for the storm the way you did either.” Pushing Marble off our laps, he bends down to run his nose along the column of my throat, making me shiver. “I can see forever with you Oaklynn.”
“You’re crazy, Colter. It’s only been one night.” I’m trying to give him an out but if I’m honest with myself, I can see forever too. And oh, how I want it. Desperately.
“Only about you baby.” He captures my lips in a possessive kiss and I can’t do anything but allow him all the control he is so obviously craving as we fall back to the makeshift bed and he’s spreading my legs again.
The rough brush of his hand along my thigh as he centers himself to my core and slowly begins to enter me again, I hold my breath and wait for my heart to calm down before moving. Gripping his shoulders in both hands, I try to hold on for the ride as he gently starts thrusting his hips in and out. Rocking our bodies in a lazy glide.
“Colter,” I whisper his name when he pulls away to catch his breath. “Harder, Colter. Please.” I want this deep connection to last for as long as possible, but lord have mercy I need more.
“You’re a little vixen, baby.” His hands grip mine and he pulls them above our heads, holding me in place as he sits up further.
His eyes move up and down my body and it’s as erotic as any caress from the warmth of his hands.
Closing my eyes, I sigh as his fingers graze along my body. Exploring every dip and groove. Tasting when he feels like. Yelping when he nips my flesh, I can’t imagine a more perfect moment if I tried.
