My girl.
Leaning back, I gaze at the vision in front of me. The top of her dress is still unbuttoned, and moonlight touches her small breasts with silver light. Dreamy amber eyes meet mine, and I shake my head.
“How did this happen to me?” I sound as bewildered as I feel.
“What?” Her head tilts to the side, her brows furrowed.
“You’re the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. The sweetest thing I’ve ever known.”
“Deacon.” Her chin drops and she hugs her body close against mine. “You’re the best thing in my life.”
I slide my hands up her back, loving the feel of her in my arms. It’s all I ever want, holding her in my arms this way as long as I live.
“It’s time, Angel.”
She sits back, studying my expression. “Time for what?”
“Time for me to come to your house and meet your family, introduce myself.” Sliding a wild curl behind her ear, I grin. “I want to make us official.”
She blinks down, almost shyly. “I’ve been thinking about that. My brother’s just getting back in town. I’m just getting to know him—”
“I want to know him, too. I’ll pick you up at your house—his new house—and I can meet him, take you on a real date.”
“We’ve been on real dates.” Her nose scrunches, teasing me, but I’m serious.
“I want to meet your family. Say yes this time.”
She tilts her head to the side, soft curls drifting around her high cheekbones. “Yes.”
Our eyes meet, and she smiles. Leaning forward, she wraps her arms around my neck. Her soft breasts press against my bare chest, and I close my eyes at the sensation.
Her voice is quiet. “I don’t know what Beto’s like or what he’ll say.”
Sliding my hands under her arms, I hold her back so she can see the smile on my face, feel the confidence I feel. “Whatever he says, we’re in this together. I’ll take care of you.”
She studies me, looking deeply into my eyes, and I wonder what she sees there. I hope she sees what I want her to see—our bright future.
She must, because ultimately her full lips curl into a smile. “I wanted to invite you to Lola’s quinceañera on Saturday.”
“When and where?”
“It was supposed to be at the Knights of Columbus, but I think Beto is moving it to his house. We’ll start at five, so maybe you should arrive around six?”
“An hour late? That seems rude.”
“An hour after my brother has been drinking.” When I hope he’ll be more relaxed…
Tracing my finger along the line of her forehead, I kiss her brow. “I’ll be there at five thirty. What should I bring?”
“Just yourself.”
“I’m bringing her a gift.”
She exhales, sliding her nose along my jaw. “We’d better get back. It’s late.”
The wind is picking up, and the scent of rain is all around us. She straightens her top, buttoning it closed, and I retrieve my shirt, pulling it over my head. I wrap my leather jacket around her, and we hold hands walking down the stairs to my bike.
Rain stings my arms as we retrace the miles, and the warmth of her body presses against my back. We’re going to be together forever, and it’s going to be amazing.
