Do I like that she wants to hide our relationship? Fuck no, it sets my teeth on edge, but I get it. I understand her fears. She doesn’t fight for her wants, for her feelings; she fights for her career, but I’m going to change that. I’m going to help her realize that the important thing is her and that everything else will fall into place. It won’t be easy because Baylor isn’t an easy girl to understand, but I’m going to do it and I will succeed.
So as my mouth moves with hers, I’ll keep my profession of love locked away in a little box. I’ll show her what it’s like to be loved by a good guy, and maybe, just maybe, she’ll fall in love with me. We’ll go off into the big leagues, and life will be good. For once, I’ll be truly happy. I just need her to realize that. Realize that this is what’s good for her. That her fears are moot because they aren’t needed. We will work it out. We are two of the most headstrong people, how could it not work?
As her mouth moves against mine, my hand curves around her neck and I squeeze my eyes shut, praying to God that this is really happening. It’d suck to wake up and have this all be a dream, but then again, what a dream to have. She’s simply amazing. Tightening my arm around her waist, I kiss along her bottom lip, her jaw, nuzzling her neck as I breathe in her scent. As I nibble on her neck, her breathless giggles make me smile and I pull back to look down at her.
“I knew I’d win,” I say playfully, kissing her nose.
“Win what?” she asks, a grin pulling at her lips. Her eyes tell me she’s nervous, and I think it’s adorable. While I hate that she doesn’t get that she can be herself around me and I’ll still want her, it gives me a rush to know that I get to prove that to her.
“You,” I say, softly kissing her nose again. “I gotta say, you play some intense hard to get, Moore.”
Her face fills with color as she shakes her head. “I wasn’t playing anything. I really was trying to resist you. Found that to be very hard.”
Grinning, I wink as I say, “’Cause I’m irresistible.”
Rolling her eyes, she nuzzles her nose into my chest before leaning her chin against it to look up at me. “I’m cold.”
“Okay, let’s head back,” I say, even though I don’t want to. I don’t know how it’s gonna be once we get there, and letting her go isn’t really an option right now. “Or we can get my car and go somewhere.”
“Or we can watch Supernatural,” she suggests with a grin, and I laugh as I shake my head. “It’s your fault, you brought it up. I love that show.”
“I guess so,” I say with a grin. “Fine, but how are we going to do this? Hiding our relationship and all? What are the rules?”
She shrugs as I lace my fingers with hers, but then she smiles at me before removing her hand and tucking it into the pocket of her jacket. “Well, first, we can’t be walking around holding hands. My dad could see us.”
“He could have seen us kissing on the bridge too,” I point out, and she shakes her head.
“True, but that was an in the moment kind of thing,” she says, looking over at me. “But when we are alone, it’s cool.”
Rolling my eyes, I tuck my hands into my own pockets. “Okay, so no PDA.”
“None for the time being.”
At least she said that. It gives me hope for the future. “But we’re together, so no sleeping around or anything, right?”
“Um yeah, you better not be with anyone else and think you’re gonna be with me,” she snaps back at me, her brows coming together. There is a flash of intense jealousy that gives me chills. She likes me a lot. She’s just fighting it.
Laughing, I grin over at her. “Wasn’t even a thought, just making sure on your part.”
“I’m good. Believe that,” she states very firmly. “I’m with you, but we can’t be all lovey-dovey and shit. Not that I would be. I mean, it’s me.”
“Yeah,” I agree with a nod, a smirk on my face. “Would be nice though.”
“Sorry, not gonna happen,” she laughs with a shrug. “I don’t even know how to be with someone.”
“Really? You haven’t dated anyone?”
“No, usually it’s just sex. I never had time for it, and no one really made me want to date them. And then Seth came along. But even when I was with him, it was sex, which consisted of him getting off while I just lay there. I came for the first time, like ever, with you.”
Yeah, that makes me a little too happy. Puffing my chest out, I say, “Of course you did, it’s me.” Laughing, she leans into me, and I smile as I say, “You should laugh more.”
Looking over at me, she shrugs. “I find I do it a lot more with you than usual.”
“Again, it’s me,” I say with a grin, and she rolls her eyes, laughing some more as the house comes into view.
On the subject of dickfuck, I ask, “You loved him, though?”
That makes her stop laughing before she nods. “I think it was that stupid puppy love shit. I admired his game, he was older than me, and he was going places.”
