She adverts her eyes, afraid to recognize something other than I want her to. "I'm not sure, you could be having second thoughts about us. We don't have a relationship like everyone else."
"That's what I love about it, and why I love you more than you'll ever comprehend." I lay my hand over hers, gripping it.
"I want to be with you. I can't help it and I won't apologize for it." She bites and releases her lip.
"But this right here!" I hold up the paper in my hand. "This is the most important thing for us to do, once we're finished, no one can tell us we can't be together."
She flails backward, hay flies everywhere. "Ughhh! You're killing me!"
"I am not, Harper." I move over her, leaning in. "Open." I wait. "Open your eyes." I pause. "Stop being like this and look at me."
"What?" She snarls. Her top lip curls, making her adorable to gaze at.
My breath hitches. "You're stunning."
"You're insane." Her smile breaks across her face, beams of light and love shoot through the air. I can only hope to be hit by them.
"I'm crazy for you." I half shrug, struggling to not climb between her legs and find heaven.
She grips my shirt, pulling me down as she wraps her legs around my waist. "You're driving me crazy!"
"Wait. Why do I feel as though I'm losing this argument?" I run my hand up her leg, to her thigh and around, gripping her plump ass. "Damn, I sure as hell am losing it."
The tip of her tongue sweeps over her bottom lip, teasing me all to hell. "Well, then. Let me win this one time and I'll never ask again."
"Baby, I've waited for years to get in your panties. Once I'm in, I ain't backin' out." I struggle for air, as my breathing becomes ragged as her breasts heave and sway, laying beneath me.
"Fine," she slowly unlocks her legs. "read the damn letter."
I lean in, brushing my lips over hers. "Thank you, baby."
